gretchen t. - Des Moines, IA 50314 (8 mi) - Grammar Tutor - $125.00/hr.
When I was in high school, English grammar was one of my best topics I prefer the style of patience and hands on. No computers, no spell check. the only way to learn is to do it yourself. I have tutored adults for free when they have needed a good eye to evaluate their work. Many adults can not spell and have trouble building a basic sentence. I am good at proofreading and helping the thoughts to flow better. I ask a lot of questions in order to help the student understand the thought process.

Ashley R - Johnston, IA 50131 (3.1 mi) - Grammar Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I am a very passionate person who adores children and thinks that teaching is the most rewarding job in the world. I am dedicated, punctual, compassionate, patient, honest and fun. I would bring a positive aura that seems to follow me wherever I go. I will make the most educational experience possible for the students, while incorporating various learning styles to accommodate for each student's needs. For example; I will use hands on experience and discovery, visual aids, and collaborative learning to name a few. By using a variety of teaching styles, the chances of reaching out to each student and creating knowledge in which they understand increases. I will do my best to make the students feel like my classroom is a safe, fun, and stimulating place to come to everyday. I also work very well with others, and enjoy learning new things myself. I take pride in my hard work and believe tha

Stephanie H - Ankeny, IA 50023 (3.4 mi) - Grammar Tutor - $40.50/hr.
One of the best compliments that a teacher/tutor can receive is to hear from a parent that their child loves to learn when he used to resent school. Obtaining my Bachelor of Science degree and Middle School endorsement from Faith Baptist Bible College has given me the ability to help others have a passion for learning. I have the most experience and expertise in reading, but also have experience in cognitive training as well as tutoring in composition, grammar, reading, math, and study skills. I am a “hands-on” type of teacher who likes to get a lot of senses involved in order to enhance student learning. I generally do some initial direct instruction while explaining a new concept, and then I reinforce and assess understanding by doing group projects or activities. Because of my experience with cognitive training, I am also able to use strategies to help students who struggle with memor

Lori M - Johnston, IA 50131 (3.6 mi) - Grammar Tutor - $34.50/hr.
As a college graduate, I started my teaching career in a catholic elementary school. I taught second grade for a year and first grade for two years. It was truely rewarding to see students become fluent readers. I relocated and took a position as a special education assosciate. I worked with four special education teachers. I worked with both groups of students and individuals on their IEP progression. After that I spent 13 years as a fourth grade teacher. I taught all subject areas. Wrote curriculum, served on committees, and belonged to educational organizations. I truely consider myself a life long learner and hope to instill that in all the students I work with. I enjoy helping students become all that they can. I understand that each student has their own individual learning style and that the teaching has to be adapted for that. I believe hands on experiences are some of the best e

Virginia C - Johnston, IA 50131 (3.9 mi) - Grammar Tutor - $37.50/hr.
My teaching philosophy mirrors my learning philosophy. I believe in using a variety of methods and media to reach students on a level they can understand. Knowing that not all students learn in the same way necessitates an understanding of individual facilitation as well as group facilitation. I believe in creating an environment that creates curiosity and engagement that will result in long-term learning outcomes. Like Freire, I subscribe to the idea that one must know the word in order to know the world; and one must know the world in order to create meaningful change (Freire, 1970). As a twenty year veteran of the advertising agency business, I have had significant training and experience in communication skills. I am both a talented writer and presenter and have gained teaching experience through volunteer programs and as a guest lecturer.
I have spent the past several years running

Dennis S - Urbandale, IA 50322 (4.7 mi) - Grammar Tutor - $54.50/hr.
I am patient, easy going and considerate. I understand that students learn in different ways, so I try to adapt my style accordingly. For example, perhaps one student learns best from oral instruction, while another prefers hands-on experience. My goal is to shape my teaching approach to best fit the needs of the student. I have an extensive background in the mass communications field. My formal education includes a bachelor's degree in journalism and a master's degeee in mass communications, both from Drake University in Des Moines. Professionally, I have written for daily newspapers and for the public relations and marketing efforts of major Iowa corporations.

Michael W - Des Moines, IA, IA 50310 (5 mi) - Grammar Tutor - $36.50/hr.
My approach for each class is to focus on the text and do exercises that give students the opportunity to work with the text first-hand. I focus on troublesome areas and I spend many hours planning each class. I prefer to let students come up with their own decisions, and craft their responses into the key ideas of the lesson. I believe that flexibility is key, and this strategy makes the students feel comfortable with discussing and thinking on their own terms. I am currently a teaching assistant for the Simpson College English Department. I selected the books for the semester, drafted the curriculum, and I instruct classes. I also hold advisory office hours. I teach poetry, fiction and nonfiction.
In addition to these things, I am a poet and fiction writer with a high level of experience and craft, and can assist students in expressing themselves creatively.

Dawn B - Des Moines, IA 50310 (5 mi) - Grammar Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I like working one-on-one with students, helping them to identify what they already know about a subject or topic and then logically building that up, step-by-step, into what they need to know. Finding a way to explain a concept in terms each individual can understand is the challenge. When students have difficulty in a class, it is often because the textbook doesn't speak to them and the teacher doesn't have time to explain it individually to each and every student. Additionally, many students simply need extra time for guided practice of a concept, time to ask questions and double check what they are doing, before they are comfortable doing it on their own in a classroom or test setting. The majority of my teaching and tutoring experience has been in English and Math. During college, I worked in the on-campus tutoring center for 4 years, focusing primarily on Math. After graduatin

Michelle B - Ankeny, IA 50021 (6.3 mi) - Grammar Tutor - $39.00/hr.
Having lived in France for the first 18 years of my life, has gifted me with the ability to speak French fluently. I am fluent in English also. In fact, in college, I tested out of English and tutored my classmates. I have been tutoring, teaching, and mentoring children, youth, and adults since then. Having been an excellent student myself, gives me the tools I need to help others learn. I graduated with highest honors in college and suma cum laude in graduate school. I have excellent composition, proofreading, and communication skills. I love all children and youth, and I enjoy teaching. Information being taught should start where the individual is and be brought gradually to where he or she will need to be, depending on the level and style of learning. All children can learn, though in different ways, and should be encouraged to compete with themselves. In this way, they stay
