Alexis G. - Reno, NV 89521 (18.4 mi) - Biology 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.

Trudy M. - Reno, NV 89503 (19 mi) - Biology Tutor - $30.00/hr.
B.A. and M.A.in biology with professional experience in laboratories and as editor of science publications. My style of tutoring is creative flexibility. I assess the student's learning style and try to adapt to that, using different senses (kinetic, aural, oral) to trigger best responses. However, this is layered over a basic multi-part structure suited to the subject.
I also like to set up a schedule of what our hour will be like, with some beginning exercises (usually recall from previous session). The rest of the hour would be structured with student input as much as possible. At the end, I like to introduce some free time to talk about the lesson and about any new ideas. I have a masters degree in Enviornmental Biology and a BA in pre-med sciences. I also have an AA degree in Dietetics. My other hat is a long career in writing, editing, and publishing. So, I am a grammarian and

Kai B - Incline Village, NV 89451 (2.2 mi) - Biology Tutor - $37.50/hr.
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 creative grasp of writing. I am also the assistant coordinator of the Sierra Nevada Tutoring Center. During my time at the center, I have helped institute protocols for L2 learners and have instructed tutors on methods of tutoring. I have been a tutor for four years, and have tutored all ages, including elementary school children learning to read, as well as adults working on dissertations. 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.

Matt S - Incline Village, NV 89450 (3.6 mi) - Biology Tutor - $38.50/hr.
Having worked with students of all ages in a variety of settings, I specialize in teaching science and math concepts as well as test prep and study skills. My mission as a tutor is to help students understand subject content while learning how to learn.
My favorite part of being a teacher is watching confusion and doubt become knowledge and confidence. I believe that this transition of ignorance to understanding is the hallmark of education and my goal is to motivate my students to seek these opportunities. Born and raised in upstate New York, I graduated from Cornell University in the spring of 2000 with a B.S. in Biology. In 2003, after a short stay in the biotechnology world, I moved west to work for an outdoor science school in Southern California. Since then, I have had the pleasure of traveling all over the country and working with a variety of successful environmental educa

Michael C - Truckee, CA 96161 (7.2 mi) - Biology Tutor - $43.50/hr.
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 an NSF-funded Research Experience for Undergraduates at UC Riverside. With the guidance of my primary investigator and a grad student, I gained experience doing research into the fabrication of nano-structures (in this case, reusable and gas-specific sensing devices, or an "e-nose"). Students provided a group presentation using PowerPoint and presented their results during a poster session.
I have been tutoring chemistry at Clever Minds in Truckee, CA, since January 2010. 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 preconceptio

Devon H - Carson City, NV 89702 (14.6 mi) - Biology Tutor - $41.50/hr.
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 my part which then becomes, with reinforcement and consistency, the belief of the child. Encouraging curiosity and problem solving gives children the tools to succeed in many areas outside as well as inside the classroom. My goal is to leave a smile on their face, a feeling of success in their heart, and the knowledge that they did learn something that day! 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 rig

Russell F - Reno, NV 89523 (15.4 mi) - Biology Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I’m a graduate of Oregon State University with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Business and Marketing Education. I spent most of my working career in business, management and sales. 2009, I returned to my first love, the classroom.
I’m currently a substitute teacher in the Washoe County School District, ACE Charter, and some private schools. I hope to soon have a full time teaching position, when a position becomes available.
My vast experience of teaching children and young adults hasn’t been in a traditional classroom. The teaching venues I refer to were in the workplace, with young adults (teenagers) as retail employees and an outdoor setting as a Boy Scout Leader. I offer a real life experiences in my teaching methods. I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. Having spent a lifetime in the business world, I ha

Cindy V - Reno, NV 89509 (16 mi) - Biology Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I recieved what I believe was an excellent education from the University of Colorado. Although my major was pharmacy, and I am indeed a registered Pharmacist, I have many years of education in the areas of chemistry, biology ad anatomy. I have never formally tutored students professionally, but I have informally tutored pharmacy technicians in the preparation for their state certification exam. I enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge and expertise with children as well as adults very much. I have a high degree of patience and respect for students that have been intrusted to me to further their education. I am very easy going and flexible and realize that every person learns at a different pace. I embrace these differences and believe that I am an effective teacher to every type of learner.

Janet M - Reno, NV 89523 (17.3 mi) - Biology Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I love helping people achieve their dreams and goals and I have high expectations for all children and adults I am teaching. As an educator I encourage my students to believe in themselves and convince them they have the ability to be successful in whatever they want to achieve. One of my students was struggling with C's and D's for grades and he was getting extra help but he was frustrated. Once or twice a week we would chat about it. I encouraged him to put forth a little more effort and I promised him his studies would get a little easier over time. Sure enough I saw the young man the following year and he came running up to me to tell me he made the honor roll. I never gave up on him and I know I played a part in his success. I started out as a Computer Science major and changed my major to education and became a certified educator and taught for eight years in the private and p
