Anna R - Lawrence, KS 66047 (34.6 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $37.00/hr.
Learning and helping others learn are among my highest priorities in life. My high academic honors reflect this drive to learn: I earned magna cum laude in college, and I was valedictorian of my high school class. My degree in English Education gave me a strong grasp of English grammar, composition, and literature; it also gave me concentrated training and practice in teaching these subjects to adolescents. As a volunteer, I have taught Sunday school to fifth- and sixth- grade students. I am also a classically-trained pianist and served as church pianist for many years. Because each individual student is important to me, I seek to get to know each student personally while retaining a professional demeanor. This helps me understand the student's particular needs so that I may teach the student most effectively. My naturally gentle personality makes me a patient and encouraging teacher. I

Laurie W - Prairie Village, KS 66208 (45 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I am a high school business and computer teacher. I have taught for 5 years. I throughly enjoy working with and getting to know my students. I consistently work with students to help them excel both in my course work and in their other classes. In addition to having a strong background in business and computers, I was also a communications major, thus I am confident in my ability to help students succeed in the public speaking and language arts. As a high school teacher I have worked with a variety of students from gifted to special needs. My #1 goal is to help each of my students reach his or her ultimate academic potential. Every student has the ability to succeed academically. I believe that children learn best when concepts can be taught/explained to them in their own terms. Once a common ground can be extablished between student and teacher the learning process becomes much easier a

Mignon D - Kansas City, MO 64130 (49.8 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $39.00/hr.
Laid back, but encouraging.If a child is struggling, I don't think you should add fear and criticism to the situation. Having had Catholic nuns in all my grammer school days, pretty much put the "fear of God" into me, until I went on to public high school and college. then I was able to relax and embrace english and literature. My BA degree was in Speech & Theatre. Who would have known that a shy kid like me would have excelled in public speaking, english, and theatre. I love the English language, even though I've had classes in French and Spanish. I started school when I was 4 years old (too early), and all my grade school years was challanged with education. Now that I am an adult, I feel that I have the experience to help children understand and find it easier to learn English and grammer, sentence writing, composition writing, essays, etc.

Cheryl C - Raytown, MO 64133 (51.4 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $34.50/hr.
I taught college students computer science and applications courses at Sanford Brown College and National College. I taught 7th grade English as a second language for the Kansas City School District. I was also a substitute teacher. I taught English to ESL foreign language students using my guitar. I also let my students play my guitar and sing along. It was the only way I discovered, which would keep their attention so they would remain seated.
