Jeremy B. - Nashville, TN 37203 (12.4 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $47.50/hr.
I am a 23 year old graduate of Vanderbilt University, Class of 2014. I majored in Medicine, Health, and Society, while minoring in Philosophy. I began my undergraduate career as a pre-mededical student, but eventually transitioned towards preparation for law school, though I completed all of the pre-med requirements besides Physics. Throughout my undergraduate education I became well-versed in the areas of General Chemistry, Biology, Algebra I & II, and English, among other subject areas.
Prior to my entry into college, I took both the SAT and ACT, and scored exceptionally well on both of them.
I am currently working as a paralegal at Peter T. Skeie & Associates, a law firm representing individuals in Social Security and ERISA disability claims. I will be attending law school in the fall of 2015, with my school choice TBD within the next couple months.

Teaching is my passion and I love helping others learn. I am able to create quality, yet comprehensive curriculum for my students that will thrust them to succeed. I am very detailed oriented, creative, and have a passion for ensuring student success. It is my endeavor to combine my range of experience with my wealth of education.

I want to help all students build confidence, which will enhance their self esteem as well as personal values.

This teaching style ensures a curriculum tailored to each individual need.

Amelia G. - Nashville, TN 37215 (15.4 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $45.00/hr.
As a tutor, I find that it is important to present the material to the students in a way that they can relate to. My job as an educator is to teach them how to learn it and make them want to learn it. I personally do not believe that negative reinforcement is beneficial. Positive responses to students are extremely valuable, even if they may occasionally give the wrong answer. This will give them the motivation to do well. My philosophy is that teaching is part knowledge, part communication, and part intuition. My intuition is necessary to understand where a student is getting stuck. I myself already understand the material; the challenge is to understand why a student does not. A variety of communicative teaching approaches is best. I have learned that different students respond to visual, auditory, or tactile methods. As always, continuous practice is extremely important. I also must

Very personal and tailored to the student. I have many suggestions about content and process of learning, but ultimately I want to give my students what THEY want and do what works best for them! I have taught SAT prep courses for Kaplan Inc. since December 2012 and done a good deal of informal tutoring in Philosophy and French. I have a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy with a concentration in Neuroscience, and I also studied French for 7 years, including a semester in a language immersion program in the south of France (Aix-en-Provence), where I became fluent.

Regina M - Nashville, TN 37218 (7.6 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $35.50/hr.
I'm patient and understanding the complexities of accounting and the ensuing panic that it sometimes causes. In my experience the fundamental reason people need tutoring boils down to a failure to truly understand the concept of the debit and credit. I always begin by reviewing these concepts and ensuring that the student/intern fully understands the logic behind the debit and credit. Once understood, the comfort level with accounting fundamentals drastically improves and we can move on from there. I thoroughly enjoy seeing the improvement in my students/interns and the thanks that I receive at the end of their time with me. I love to hear it and will never tire of hearing it because it is the reason I encourage the experience. As a student, I was promoted from hostess to assistant controller of a restaurant within the period of one year and prior to graduation from the community co

Christopher D - Nashville, TN 37207 (8 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $55.50/hr.
Not every student learns in the same way, and understanding this simple concept is crucial to successful teaching and tutoring. My goal is to understand where each student is in their larger journey as a writer, as well as where he or she is in terms of the immediate work. I believe strongly in flexibility and patience as a teacher, in remaining open to what students say and to implementing new approaches when necessary.
I listen carefully to what a student is struggling with and to his or her history as a writer, before I form a practical plan for improvement. The goal is not only to get through one or two papers, but to identify recurring problems and to understand why this particular student is struggling with these specific areas. While earning my M.F.A. I took an advanced course in the pedagogy of teaching writing, which focused on the teaching of remedial writers. I worked in th

David O - Goodlettsville, TN 37072 (8.6 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $34.00/hr.
By the time that I have spent a short time with my students, they know that I care for them and want them to be the best that they can be; they know that I expect good work from them and want each to do his or her best. As I learn my students, I realize my need to differentiate my teaching styles to fit my students' specific learning needs and am convinced that each person can learn and can do well if he or she is worked with according to his or her particular learning style. I am patient with my students but work to push them to be their best. I have twenty-nine years of experience in teaching middle and high school students. I have taught high school English, Bible, history, and speech/drama; and middle school English, Bible, science, history, speech/drama, and math through Pre-Algebra. During these years I taught multi-ethnic classes, mainly in urban areas. I also have tutored s

kanesha s - nashville, TN 37207 (11.6 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $34.50/hr.
I believe that there is no single approach to effective teaching. My most important responsibility is to ensure highest academic achievement for all students. I am passionate about developing and encouraging young minds. An effective educator must posses certain skills in order to ensure high academic achievements for students such as being able to develop strong relationship with parents, students, and co-teachers, giving all students respect and fairness, taking the time to listen, praising accomplishments, encouraging students to correct their mistakes, inspiring students by being an effective role model, and instilling an appreciating for the students' local and global community. I am an accomplished Exceptional Teacher with five years experience in providing Resource and Moderate Intervention Services to students with disabilities in grades K-12.

Matthew D - Nashville, TN 37209 (11.6 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I first began tutoring during high school, volunteering with Time to Rise in Nashville, TN, a program that supplies students from underperforming schools with supplemental education. After high school, I excelled during college at the University of the South, spending time in Oxford at St Catherine's College, graduating summa cum laude, and being elected into Phi Beta Kappa. The liberal arts curriculum there provided such a broad education that I have maintained competency in nearly every subject. Such an education has come in handy during the four months I have been tutoring, as the students I assist will ask my help on subjects ranging from geology, to English lit, and to mathematics. My own experience as a student has shown me that i was most effectively motivated when I realized the enjoyment I could draw from schoolwork. Approached in the right way, all aspects of the educational ex

Romona C - Nashville, TN 37209 (12.7 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $40.50/hr.
As the daughter of educators, I have been exposed to the education system all my life. As a result of this exposure, I became very interested in tutoring and teaching. I taught for two years as a substitute teacher before attending law school. I previously worked as a substitute teacher with Morrow Elementary in North Lauderdale, Florida where I taught test-taking strategies for the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. Most recently, I have volunteered with Youth Encouragement services as a tutor. Based on previous experience I have discovered that the same teaching style does not work for every child. I find that explaining each topic and asking the child question gives a clear indication of their understanding. Based on responses to the questions adjustments may be made to address each child's need.
