Doug S. - Boise, ID 83713 (21.1 mi) - Literature Tutor - $30.00/hr.
Student teaching at Rocky Mountain High School, in Meridian, Idaho. Taught English to sophomores and seniors. I have taught as an observer in middle schools and junior high schools; South in Boise, Idaho, Rober Stuart Junior High in Twin Falls, Idaho, and at Pathways Middle School in Meridian, Idaho. I tutored at South Junior High in the Avid program and in a ESL tutoring room in the same school. I differentiate my teaching to try and match the current abilities and learning styles of the students. I want to know what the student knows, and then begin to teach them something new. I will demonstrate, guide the student through a few examples and let them do it on their own.

Michael D - Nampa, ID 83651 (8.3 mi) - Literature Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I love teaching. While I have also been a counselor and administrator, I managed to be able to at least tutor along the way, with a few exceptional years. I found that children were especially responsive to me, so I often found myself with elementary children (who, under my tutelage, managed to "catch up" an/or improve their grade point average -- often to their parents' delight). Since I love learning, children and teens "catch" my enthusiasm, and invariably get caught up with my honest excitement about a suject. Learning is a terrific discovery process, and mastery of data and sills makes one far more confident. My enthusiasm is absolutely sincere (you cannot act out a love for learning, without being discovered). As a tutor, I quickly find out the level a student is performng in (there are practical ways, even without achievement tests), and I soon am able to ascertain his motiv

Angela S - Caldwell, ID 83607 (9 mi) - Literature Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I am a very patient and driven teacher, which I believe are extremely important characteristics. Easy going is a great way to describe my personality, and students seem to sense that from me. It makes for a comfortable learning environment, but I also love having a lot of structure and planning in my methods so that learning stays on track. The educators that I have admired and looked up to all had these approaches when they had taught me, and I appreciated it. That is what I want to pass on to my students. As an educator, my philosophy in education is to inspire and to guide students. I am very driven in the education field and it is of great importance to me. I have earned my Associates of Arts degree, and felt it was necessary to continue on with obtaining a Bachelors degree in order to expand my career options.I furthered my education by adding on my Secondary Teaching Certification,

Daniel P - Middleton, ID 83644 (9.5 mi) - Literature Tutor - $35.50/hr.
When I was a high school student, I tutored pre-algebra, geometry and algebra, Shakespeare, World Literature, and Earth Science. I managed my own clients and improved test scores with every client. During the summer of 2005, I tutored mentally disabled children in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. I attended the University of Idaho and have received a B.S. in Mathematics. While there, I worked at the Polya Math Lab, tutoring college algebra. I continued to tutor on my own during college, and have tutored in all forms of vector calculus, from methods of integration to 3d modeling. I have also tutored Abstract Algebra (group and ring theory), Combinatorics, and Number Theory. I am particularly good at walking people through proofs. While at college, I have also helped people develop their writing skills by participating in over 4 semester-long workshops. When teachi

Carol B - Nampa, ID 83687 (14 mi) - Literature Tutor - $35.00/hr.
After 10 years in the magazine and event business, I moved into teaching technology at a small, local high school. In addition to teaching, I earned my credential and masters in education during the first three years. My background in editing and love of computers has proven very valuable. Although students are using computers, they need review and practice in English grammar, writing strategies and punctuation as an essential part of each lesson. My expertise in journalism, editing and interviewing has come in very handy. In addition, I am often called to teach not only students, but provide staff training and informal one-on-one tutoring. I am versed in several software programs including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Flash, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Freehand, FrontPage, as well as some database development applications. Working in a small school, I was lucky enough to learn that developing a

Kerry M - Emmett, ID 83617 (20.8 mi) - Literature Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I enjoy helping others learn and master their educational skills by sitting down with them and taking them step by step through the process with which they need to apply to their task at hand. I am a patient person who makes the learning process fun for those who are seeking help. I believe that if a person takes the time to show another how to apply the basic rules of application to the problem or task at hand that that person will have a better understanding of what they are doing and find that through this process the task will become easier for them to obtain. I feel that all people can achieve a high level of academic achievement when they are given the tools and understanding of what they are doing. As a mother of five I believe that education is the most important element of a person's achievements. Because of this belief I put myself back through college where I achieved my Assoc

Daniel H - Boise, ID 83713 (21 mi) - Literature Tutor - $60.00/hr.
As a graduate from BYU with a BS in finance and composite minors in accounting and economics, I moved into the medical management field. Within 7 years, I had taken a medical practice struggling to survive financially to a 3-physician, 2-midlevel practice. That experience launched a career. Other business background includes general management of a hotel/restaurant/touring company in a resort town. Later, I returned to school to complete an MA in theater. Here, I taught theater as an adjunct professor. I have also written and published a book and several one-act plays and variety shows. I have a unique approach to teaching because my background is both analytical (numbers and science) and imaginative (theater and literature). While classroom training is my forte, I also have a solid background in teaching online. This combination is particularly useful since no two children learn in the

Todd K - Eagle, ID 83616 (21.4 mi) - Literature Tutor - $39.00/hr.
Due to my background, I have learned patience and passion are essential for a student’s success. Further, not everyone learns the same way. Therefore, over the last five years, I have discovered multiple ways to explain something differently to help develop understanding. Further, I feel that your student needs to understand the material, not just regurgitate information for a test. This way, your student can draw upon this knowledge for future classes and tests. For the last five years, I have been helping children and adolescents with disabilities and, more recently, tutoring students at BSU. After five and a half years at BSU, I graduated with an elementary education degree. I have a background in mathematics and science, as both were previous majors I chose to pursue. During my last year of college, I was in the public schools where I taught and apprenticed under master teache

Brooke C - Boise, ID 83713 (21.6 mi) - Literature Tutor - $34.50/hr.
I have always been passionate about art. I am fortunate to have learned my skill from some very talented and capable professors who I admire; I know I have the ability to successfully teach students at all ages and knowledge levels. I have spent much time volunteering at a local elementary school, not only teaching art, but helping out with other duties as well. I enjoy teaching and helping others in any way that I can. I completed my student teaching in Fall 2009 where I taught grades 7-9 Art Foundations and Drawing. I immensely enjoyed student teaching and was sad to leave. I look forward to having regular students again teaching in a field I am truly passionate about. I have been substitute teaching for the past 2 years in all subjects. I believe if given the right tools, a student can and will succeed in education. If a student feels comfortable in the classroom, I believe that is t

Madeleine C - Boise, ID 83709 (21.6 mi) - Literature Tutor - $35.50/hr.
Just telling a child how to do a problem is not effective. I believe a teacher needs to explain the logic and reasoning behind solving certain problems certain ways. Knowing this can help the child discover what works specifically to him/her. If a child learns to reason for his/her self, they gain the ability to be lifetime learners. My hope is, that instead of dreading school they gain confidence in their abilities to figure things out, and therefore find joy in learning. Above all it is important to listen to the kids, stay positive, and never show frustration. Over the past year I have tutored through The College of Idaho's Chemistry Club. Chemistry, especially the math portions, never came easily to me. I had to work hard and spend hours asking professors questions, but now I am much better at chemistry because of it. As a tutor I wanted to help fellow students who were struggling as

Pamela B - Boise, ID 83704 (23.2 mi) - Literature Tutor - $37.00/hr.
After graduating with a bachelor's degree with a major in Spanish and minors in English and French, I began teaching high school Spanish my first year. Since I married a military officer, we moved often, so I had a chance to do substitute teaching at all grade levels and all subjects. I also developed the ability to adjust quickly to new environments due our frequent moves. It was a way to learn to teach numerous methods depending on the area of the country. I also learned to adjust my methods to the conditions under which I had to teach as there were occasions where the schools did not have text books or other supplies, so it was a matter of developing a curriculum of my own and using the blackboard as a teaching source. Teaching has been a wonderful experience for me. I have found the student have taught me as much as I have taught them. It is a rewarding profession because the

Cynthia Cindy E - Boise, ID 83714 (24.2 mi) - Literature Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I like working with children and young people very much. I believe that teaching should always be student-centered. It is my goal to find what helps a person to learn and really work with that student's natural talent and personality. I am very patient and persistent. If necessary, I think it is okay to repeat information until the student is comfortable and confident that they have learned it. I am a good communicator, and I appreciate feedback from others as well. I am always willing to adjust my style to accommodate a student's learning style. I was formerly a high school English Teacher and an ESL teacher. I taught one year overseas teaching English as a second language. For two years, I was an education supervisor at the Hawaii Job Corps, and it was my job to ensure that the students' academic needs were being met. I excelled at that job, but had to leave as I moved back to
