Katie F. - Tahoe City, CA 96145 (5.3 mi) - Composition 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.

Alexis G. - Reno, NV 89521 (32.4 mi) - Composition Tutor - $42.50/hr.
I've been tutoring since high schools in a wide range of subjects, such as latin, algebra II, and biology. The skills you use to teach yourself the material can be directly applied to someone else, especially when you find something does not click at first. I have a number of mnemonics for helping my tutees retain the material they've spent time learning. In college I don't tutor professionally because of time constraints, but I help other students understand problems they may be having difficulty with. I've also had my own SAT tutor and seen different programs and their styles, and I've chosen the one that I find the most effective.

Students should learn from a teacher and the teacher should be willing to learn from the students. My lessons are personalized to the student needs. My lessons are interactive.

Amal J. - El Dorado Hills, CA 95762 (46.2 mi) - Composition Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I have an extended experience in teaching English as a Second Language. I have taught all the language skills courses at the undergraduate university level. I have taught many core subjects as well. I have been teaching for more than 10 years. My experience encompass teaching students from diverse ethnic, economic, and cultural backgrounds. I believe that all students can learn. One must know their learning preferences that would help them learn better. I use pair and group learning as well, because sometimes students can learn by debating amongst each other. I am always open to questions and give time for whoever want more time to learn. I use communicative student learning approach to enable students learn and improve their proficiency in the targetted language.

Jason G - South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150 (14 mi) - Composition Tutor - $43.50/hr.
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. 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.

Lynne G - Glenbrook, NV 89413 (14 mi) - Composition Tutor - $37.00/hr.
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. Originally, I majored in special education and especially love working with children. I like to build on student's individual strengths, to enhance their self-confidence and empower them to make discoveries on their own. I realize how much learning, and one's experience of learning, can impact an individual in the present and in the future. I aim to provoke curiosity and joy in this lifelong journey.

Kai B - Incline Village, NV 89451 (14.4 mi) - Composition Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I emphasize meaning in my instructional style. Rather than, say, inculcate a formula for comma us, I try to convey how comma use provides meaningful structure to an idea, i.e. the sentence. In the larger sphere of things, I believe in showing a student how a piece of literature--which may well include his or her own writing--is meaningful to himself. When this is accomplished, I have found that the "meaning" of the work provides the necessary impetus to motivate the student. As academic success is so inextricably linked with qualities such as interest and pertinacity, I emphasize the root cause: meaning. I am a valedictorian candidate, graduating with a degree in English. My background in English is both technical, focusing on classics in British and early American literature, while my position as editor of the Sierra Nevada Review, an annual publication of poetry, affords me a crea

Michael C - Truckee, CA 96161 (15.7 mi) - Composition Tutor - $43.50/hr.
I begin a lesson by asking a student what he or she knows about the topic. If they have any familiarity with the topic I ask about it and confirm or correct their preconceptions. If the subject lends itself to a real-world example or demonstration, I would offer this for thought. Finally I teach the core concept, connecting it to other concepts already understood by the student.
There is usually more than one way to teach a concept. I take into account the learning style of the student. Written or diagrammatic methods might be more effective than verbal explanations. Pnemonics can be useful, but only if the underlying concepts are first taught. Upon matriculation at Colby, I enrolled in organic chemistry and decided to major in chemistry. I continued my studies in chemistry and additional areas of interest, including math, government, and economics. Before graduating I participated in

Randy G - Carson City, NV 89703 (23 mi) - Composition 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.

Devon H - Carson City, NV 89702 (23.1 mi) - Composition Tutor - $41.50/hr.
I have been working with children and adolescents in a variety of capacities for 20+ years. I truly enjoy their energy and their desire to be successful given the right encouragement and direction. For the past 4-5 years, I have been a substitute teacher and tutor for K-12, working with a culturally diverse mix, in the areas of math, English, science, health education, music, journalism, and theatre. I have received pictures, flowers and numerous other tangible "thank you's!" from parents and children and love this work! Given the right atmosphere, I honestly believe anyone can learn. Unfortunately, many individuals are given labels, especially regarding their learning capacity, and once that belief system is in place, the expectations are often lowered and self-esteem suffers. I believe in positive encouragement and support, while working through difficulties with a 'can do' attitude on

As a tutor, I am professional and pleasant, well-organized and prepared. I explain concepts clearly and thoroughly. In tutoring sessions, with individuals or groups, I am empathetic and listen well. Early on, I will assess my student's strengths and areas for improvement--as well as interests and learning style. This helps me be even more effective in helping students progress. I am a patient and articulate tutor/teacher. I have truly enjoyed the many years I have helped my students. I am an award-winning educator, with 10+ years' experience teaching community college level English (095, 098, 101, 102) and Strategies for Academic Success. I also have 5 years' experience tutoring in study skills and all aspects of writing, including researched writing. I am excellent at teaching and love it, especially working one-on-one with students. I am a strong test-taker and enjoy coming up
