Terunda D. - Greer, SC 29651 (32.7 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $60.00/hr.
Education, teaching in particular, gives individuals the opportunity to give back what they have received. It is communication on a broader level than just simply putting forth information to whomever chooses to accept it. I started my career in education before I set foot on a college campus, through a peer-tutoring program in my high school. This experience allowed me to work with severely disabled peers learning functional skills for independence. Since then I have worked as an aide in emotional/behavior and multiple-disability middle school classrooms, as well as LD-resource, ED self contained and SC occupational diploma program. In addition I have earned a degree of distinction with the National Forensic League, been name a scholar-athlete in South Carolina and a host of other accolades in scholarship. I have experienced both urban and suburban school settings and have had inc

Edward A - Fairview, NC 28730 (2.4 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $54.50/hr.
I love working with all children. I believe all children have the capability to learn math and put it to use in everyday life, but in a variety of methods and understandings. I like the elementary range of math because I can use all the math knowledge I have acquired through my own education. I am available to help each child find academic success no matter what exceptions they bring to the table. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in a constructivist approach to learning. I do know that appropriate surroundings and learning experiences can help all children meet their potential.
My job is to enhance learning beyond the classroom, yet take the classroom teachers skills and expand on them to benefit your child. As an graduate of Illinois, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned these degrees, which has enabled me

Sabrina B - Fletcher, NC 28732 (7.1 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $37.00/hr.
My philosophy has always been, "make it interesting and they will learn." However, what is interesting to you and I may not be interesting to the next person. Therefore, I listen to the child and figure out their learning style and interests. Only then can I properly teach and know they understand the subject matter. It is always exciting to see a Childs face when something clicks and they have that, "I understand what she is talking about moment." Having taught high school in both affluent and underprivileged areas I strive to make sure that every student has a positive learning experience. My degree is a BS in Communication/Business with a minor in education. Language has always been my first love and I continue to take classes related to this field. The past few years I have worked in sales but I continue to tutor.

Heleina P - Black Mountain, NC 28711 (8.2 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I have a First Class BA in English from Oxford University and a Masters in Film. After graduating I worked with an educational consultancy where I helped to create learning materials for numerous children and adults, many of whom were learning English as a second language or had dyslexia. This sparked my interest in tutoring. I went on to spend two years working with a prestigious tutoring company, teaching children of all ages. During this time I taught English as a foreign language, French, essay writing techniques, poetry, Latin and elementary mathematics. My oldest student was in his forties and my youngest was three!
I also have experience of acting as a mentor to people with learning difficulties. I believe that education should be a voyage of discovery for both the student and the teacher. All too often students become demotivated and demoralised, losing faith in their instincts

Shelly G - Asheville, NC 28805 (10.5 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $34.00/hr.
As a fellow during my graduate work at Indiana University, I taught undergraduate courses focused on helping students improve their written and oral communication skills. While pursuing a double major during my undergraduate years at the University of Notre Dame, I served as a university tutor, helping students in chemistry, communications, English and Spanish. Additionally, I have served as a volunteer for Head Start, a national government program that provides learning opportunities for preschool children from disadvantaged families. I have worked with children as young as three years old; at the same time, I have taught 30- and 40-somethings returning to the classroom for the first time in 20 years. Each child learns in a different way. I enjoy finding what works for each child. In the current state of education, children often find themselves burdened with an exorbitant amount of wo

Megan S - Asheville, NC 28801 (12 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $57.50/hr.
I graduated summa cum laude from the University of South Carolina at Beaufort with a BA in English Language and Literature in 2008. Since then, I have worked as a tutor both in-school and online. During the spring of 2009, I worked as a 5th grade tutor in Language Arts and Math at a Title 1 elementary school in North Charleston, SC. Since the fall of 2009, I have worked as an online writing lab tutor for Smarthinking, Inc. I review and make editing suggestions for all types of essays on a time constraint. I currently serve as a volunteer for the Buncombe County Literacy Council, and I work with a man who is trying to pass the Writing portion of the GED so he can go to college. I believe in a direct, hands-on approach to learning. The main issue many children (and adults) face with learning new material is understanding how the information is applicable to them.

Naomi U - Asheville, NC 28801 (12.2 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I am a strong proponent of self-directed learning. The best retention of material and new skills comes when a student finds the subject engaging and is able to relate the subject to their own experiences, passions, and goals. All people learn differently; therefore, it is helpful when a student is able to learn particular methods and study skills that will continue to benefit their future learning. I love asking questions that allow a young person to reach their own conclusions. As a child, I felt very much empowered when teachers and mentors supported my own explorations and created the spaces for me to learn in my own way. I graduated from Stanford University with two bachelor degrees, BA in English Literature and Creative Writing and BA in Art and Art History. I am extremely competent in reading comprehension, composition, editing for grammar and content, and in constructing crit

Melissa B - Asheville, NC 28801 (12.4 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $39.50/hr.
As a participant in a bilingual tutoring project, I thrived in connecting with my students and tailoring the lesson plan to their specific needs. I accompanied my students in the classroom, translated assignments from English to Spanish, and provided instruction entirely in Spanish. As a tutor in this program, I received invaluable experience working with at-risk youth from the ages of 9 to 14. These students had varying language proficiencies, and I learned much from helping all of them. In addition to my tutoring experience, I have had at least five years of experience as a peer reviewer both in the classroom for English literature and as a professional editor. I have tutored students in math, ESL, and English literature and composition. My teaching style is based on the needs of each particular student, and, in cases where ability levels are varied, I find ways to use the strengths of
