Katie F. - Tahoe City, CA 96145 (14 mi) - Spelling Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I have a fairly easy going personality, but know when to crack down if students are getting off topic or out of hand. I'm very approachable and happy. I graduated from Sonoma State with a BA in English, Single subject emphasis. I am taking a year off before I go back to get my teaching credential in reading. The majority of my classes were geared towards the teaching of reading and writing and I feel confident in my ability to help students improve in those areas. I also worked in a High School writing center and tutored for the past two semesters. I love being around kids and helping them. Currently I live in Tahoe City, but am more than willing to drive to Reno or other areas as well.

Mandy M. - Washoe Valley, NV 89704 (14.5 mi) - Spelling Tutor - $32.50/hr.
Hello- Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mandy M. I am a graduate of Morrison University with a Bachelor's degree in Accounting and a year towards my Master's in Business Administration. At this point, one might wonder why I would be interested in tutoring when my education is in the accounting world. Well, the simple answer is that I possess many facets to my education and wish to help the next generation obtain the knowledge that I was privileged to be given. I was homeschooled for my high school years with an exceptional accredited course. The quality of my high school education prepared me well for college. While the English and Math programs were detailed and grueling, I have retained the information and used it to grow. I have no experience as yet in tutoring. However, children respond well to me and I would like to help.

Trudy M. - Reno, NV 89503 (30.8 mi) - Spelling Tutor - $30.00/hr.
My style of tutoring is creative flexibility. I assess the student's learning style and try to adapt to that, using different senses (kinetic, aural, oral) to trigger best responses. However, this is layered over a basic multi-part structure suited to the subject.
I also like to set up a schedule of what our hour will be like, with some beginning exercises (usually recall from previous session). The rest of the hour would be structured with student input as much as possible. At the end, I like to introduce some free time to talk about the lesson and about any new ideas. I have a masters degree in Enviornmental Biology and a BA in pre-med sciences. I also have an AA degree in Dietetics. My other hat is a long career in writing, editing, and publishing. So, I am a grammarian and have taught English composition.
I have been a substitute teacher for more than eight years in elementary

Lynne G - Glenbrook, NV 89413 (3.2 mi) - Spelling Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I like to build on student's individual strengths, to enhance their self-confidence and empower them to make discoveries on their own.

I love to help one-on-one! I have three graduate degrees with one in the field of teaching. I have taught and tutored learners from nursery school up through the college level.

Jason G - South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150 (7.7 mi) - Spelling Tutor - $43.50/hr.
I enjoy working with kids and teaching the things that I have learned. I am confident that I can make concepts as simple as possible, so people who usually have trouble understanding ideas in math and science may have a breakthough. Coming from a very competitive school like UCLA I have acquired skills in test taking which are very valuable and I would like to pass these on to prospective college students. As a Biology student at both Saddleback and the ultra competitive UCLA, I was able to achieve high marks in all of the core cirriculum. Subjects I am very familar with are physics, chemistry, math up to 1st semester calculus, biology and biochem.I also recieved an A in every english class I have ever attended. I have experience tutoring at Saddleback Community College in Mission Viejo Ca., mostly in math.

Tracy C - South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150 (8.3 mi) - Spelling Tutor - $36.00/hr.
My teaching style is to individualize instruction for each child. I believe that every child has their own way of learning and I would teach in a way so that they could be successful. I teach one concept at a time, building on each concept as they master it. I have a style that is very positive and encouraging so as to keep the student motivated. I celebrate even the smallest of successes. I believe that every child can turn a weakness into a strength given the right guidance. I have been a Special Education Assistant for the past 12 years. I assist the classroom teacher with with everything from paperwork to teaching lessons. I have also taught middle school math for 5 years during the summer on an emergecy credential. I have also tutored students ranging from middle school to high school ages for the past 5 years. My specialty is Math and specifically Algebra.

Elizabeth J - Minden, NV 89423 (8.5 mi) - Spelling Tutor - $37.50/hr.
My initial experience was as a 2nd grade teacher in the Milwaukee

Students feel happy to know their wishes are so considered and
then at the end of the year we review the list and they see that
they have covered e

Elizabeth J - Minden, NV 89423 (8.5 mi) - Spelling Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I believe that our children hold the future of our world in their
hands and hearts and for this reason I have a deep desire to
assist them in learning all of their subjects as well as they
can.
My approach is democratic in that I ask the child for his/her
input on what they like to study and learn too. Finding out
a childs loves is important for a teacher. An example is:
Going to the library to find books for students to read because it is something they enjoy as well as doing
their assigned class work.
I use a balanced, patient, kind approach with children. They
respond best to this attitude. I have been an elementary teacher for over 21 years in Wisconsin,
Ohio, Arizona, and recently in Reno, Nevada. I hold a Masters Degree in Counseling from Kent State and acquired this in order
to better serve the children in my classroom with their
needs.

I love teaching and believe it is my calling in life. I do believe all children can learn, but in different ways.I look forward to teaching your child in a customized manner, which best meets their needs and learning style. My goal is to help all children reach their full potential, whatever that may be. I use a variety of techniques to help children reach their goals and keep myself updated on new theories yet I also feel comfortable using many tried and true techniques as well.

Randy G - Carson City, NV 89703 (10.3 mi) - Spelling Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I am a registered Professional Civil Engineer and have worked managing construction projects around the world. I am proficient in math and english and enjoy showing others how to improve their lives through education. Albeit I have not taught in a school system, I have taught my own three children in our own home school. I really like children and love seeing the light go on when they finally comprehend the area of study that has been troubling them. I want children to learn to think for themselves in problem solving, not just go through the steps to get to an answer. Learning can and should be fun.
