Jenni A. - O Fallon, MO 63368 (23.6 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $32.00/hr.
I have two years of experaince teaching in public schools and four years of experaince teaching in Christian schools. I have an advanced degree in information technology and a background in English education. I have learned something from each of my students in my yeears of teaching but I think that my first year taught me the most. I think of the famous quote by Nikos Kazantzakis, “The ideal educator turns into a bridge which they then invite students to cross… after the bridge is crossed students must make bridges of their own.”
I earned a Master’s of Science degree earlier this year by studying a variety of subjects. I began my college journey in 2006 with the goal of spreading and teaching a love of books, reading and learning. The goal began to be met at Southeastern Missouri State University. I studied English Education there. The school has a great teaching program that not only

Florence M. - Saint Louis, MO 63114 (40.8 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $32.50/hr.
I have 30+ years of experience helping students with a variety of disabilities which include language disorders. My experience encompasses Early Childhood Special Education, Elementary, Middle, High School, and post-secondary. I have helped students with ADD/ADHD, Autism/Aspergers/PDD-NOS, learning disabilities, multiple disabilities, medically fragile, language impaired and ESL (English as a Second Language). Students learn best when they feel safe to explore and learn from past mistakes. In fact, 'mistakes' should be viewed as opportunities to improve skills and learning strategies. I use 'play therapy' most often to teach skills and strategies. Multiple studies have demonstrated that children learn best through play.

Beverly B. - Byrnes Mill, MO 63051 (42.7 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $44.50/hr.
I am a listener first and foremost. I want to know what my students expect from me and in what areas s/he regard as most essential to her/his success. I believe all people can learn and understand. It is a pleasure to watch students grow in skill and comprehension and move toward confidence. I love teaching. I earned my BA before I was old enough to vote. While my classmates were in his/her senior year, I was teaching. Eventually I earned my M.Ed. in Reading, then started School Administration and Adult Education. In all these fields I find similar necessary skills: patience, co-operation among staff and colleagues, knowledge of subject matter, communication with the community and parents and a well defined curriculum. Moreover, I am a published author and a former writer with St. Louis Globe Democrat - Suburban Journals. As a favor to my students, I often evaluate papers for submission

Caleb K - Saint Peters, MO 63376 (26 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $34.00/hr.
I believe that every student can meet his or her potential provided that the subject matter is presented in a way that makes sense to them and that any material can be related through the right medium. I do not adhere to any particular teaching method; rather I adapt to the student and his or her individual learning style. I know from personal experience that the right educator does make a lifelong impact on a student’s academic, personal and professional success. My first teaching experience was as a high school senior where I was given the opportunity to teach a small group of 5th graders as part of the Missouri A+ program. We began with division, quickly moving into linear and nonlinear algebra, before touching on the fundamentals of complex numbers, graph theory and trigonometry, before concluding with a derivation of the quadratic formula and its applications. I spent three seme

Sharon R - Washington, MO 63090 (26.7 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $36.50/hr.
My own style I show a sincere interest in each student, I listen to their needs, aspirations, I tell them what I can do to assist them and I motivate the student to succeed at their own level of competency. My degree in psychology and sociology has been quite helpful through the years. I am a successful business woman who has taught for the last 15 years. What makes me successful as a teacher or tudor lies in the fact that I bring concrete proof to the student on what they need to learn. I motivate them to getting through on this study. Although students don't typically like math and accounting I tell them this is a means to an end. So to the parents, I choose to teach and tutor, this means I love motivating the student at all ages. I have taught math, economics, sociology, psychology, marketing, economics, social studies, geography, english, literature, music appreciation and english c

Stephanie O - Saint Peters, MO 63376 (27.8 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $36.00/hr.
There is nothing more rewarding than helping a child fulfill his or her potential. I enjoy helping kids achieve their goals and not only learn, but grow as learners. I believe children learn best through doing. I, myself, am a visual learner and try to provide ways for kids to learn based on their individual learning styles. I have a good sense of humor and a strong sense of fairness. I care deeply for the children I teach. I am an experienced teacher that has taught secondary English and journalism for the past 13 years. I have six years of experience teaching Advanced Placement English composition with a 60% pass rate. During my years of teaching I have also taught American and British Literature, Speech, Composition, Creative Writing, Journalism, junior high language arts and keyboarding. I am also very knowledgeable of computers and various programs. I briefly worked for a co

Sara F - Chesterfield, MO 63017 (34.9 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I graduated from Columbia University with a BA in English and political science and spent the four years following graduation working on the communications team for Mayor Michael Bloomberg in New York City. In that capacity I supervised a staff of five full time employees and a variable number of interns. That experience was helpful in terms of learning to teach and mentoring college-age and post-college individuals. I moved to St. Louis about two months ago and will be starting a PhD program in English literature at Washington University in the fall. As part of that program I will be teaching college writing. I have extremely strong writing skills and look forward to helping others learn to read and write at a higher level. I am passionate about literature, writing, and proper grammar, but I also have a strong grounding in pop culture, which helps, I think, to make the subject matter re

Nicole W - Ballwin, MO 63021 (37.6 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $33.50/hr.
I love to work with and help children of all ages with their language skills and understanding. I like to teach through example and help children figure out their problems on their own, but with some guidance. I am a recent college graduate with a BA in English (emphasis in Creative Writing). I have learned extensive grammatical skills and understanding through my work as an undergraduate as well as through my role as Non Fiction editor of our University's undergraduate literary magazine. I have experience tutoring non-native English speakers in English and have previously volunteered at day care centers, reading to children ages 2-5. I am excited to be given the opportunity to tutor again!

SeraLeigh G - Fulton, MO 65251 (39.5 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I am quite fond of children and their amazing desire and ability to learn. I think that education is one of the most important aspect of a child's upbringing and any contribution that I can make would be very gratifying. I think children differ in their learning styles and I am flexible to work with children who are visual learners through diagrams, colors and charts, or with children who are learn through memorization and application. I use a mixture of both techniques in my own learning style and I have a wealth of experience and advice that I am more than willing to give. I am very determined and driven to complete my education in the field on Psychology and then move on the Medical School. Being a Psychology Major has taught me intensive research and presentation skills and has allowed me to be critical and analytic from a scientific point of view. Also, being a Spanish minor, I have

Boyd J - Manchester, MO 63021 (39.5 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $38.00/hr.
My style is audience-centered and flexible based on several factors, including:
- number of students
- age and level of expertise/prior background and subject matter proficiency
- expectations (for example, adult learners are generally specific goal-oriented, seeking tangible and at times immediate results.
- evaluative determination of cognitive anchors -- from what basis of understanding can subject matter be approached that will provide the best platform for learning and discovery. I have five years' experience teaching data processing and business math to adults at Sanford-Brown Business college. I was named department chair for the last year + of my employment there.
I have tutored immigrants from multiple countries in English as a second language, through the St. Louis Literacy Council - now operated through the YMCA.
