Lisa E. - Sparks, NV 89434 (27.6 mi) - Science Tutor - $35.00/hr.
For Science and Math I employ an inquiry-based method of teaching/exploration. This allows for more meaningful learning and gives the student the opportunity to learn on his or her own before being given instruction by the teacher. This method is aligned with the STEM initiative in the United States.
For Language Arts, reading, and Spanish, I teach by individualizing instruction to each child, allowing for meaning-making and communication rather than simply rote learning of facts and vocabulary. I believe in combining a more traditional, rote approach with the more progressive whole-language approach to create a well-rounded literacy curriculum. I have 6 years of substitute teaching experience in the Washoe County School District in Nevada, as well as at a charter school. Substitute teaching has allowed me to work with children from preschool to grade 12, in all subjects. I have wor

Hayli T. - Gardnerville, NV 89410 (36.5 mi) - Science Tutor - $27.50/hr.
Throughout my academic career, I have done in-class tutoring in exchange for credit. I have also helped my family members, neighbors, and friends to study, complete homework, and even do reports. My range of subjects is very versatile, anything from Oceanography, to Intercultural Communications, to Culinary Arts, and even 3D sculpture and design. Of course outside of these elective type courses, I have a 3.7 GPA in my general education, including Math, English, Science, and Social Studies. I attended a charter high school, where we took outside the box classes that met the state regulations. I was taking botany and forensics for science, and African American and Native American history classes.
This gave me and opportunity to think outside the box, and become more well rounded. I have been gifted with many brilliant teachers with many different approaches to teaching, and app

Kai B - Incline Village, NV 89451 (2.2 mi) - Science 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. In the larger sphere of things,

Matt S - Incline Village, NV 89450 (3.6 mi) - Science 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) - Science 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

Devon H - Carson City, NV 89702 (14.6 mi) - Science 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

Randy G - Carson City, NV 89703 (14.6 mi) - Science Tutor - $36.50/hr.
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. 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.

Pamela T - Carson City, NV 89706 (15 mi) - Science Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I love working with students. As a teacher I enjoy the learning process and love watching the students discover new concepts and ideas. As as school counsleor I assisted students in working at their emotional and challenging behaviors. In both positions I strongly believe each student has the potential to learn. I teach to the different learn styles of my students. When I was working as a secretary I knew I wanted to further my education. I returned to school and completed my bachelor of science in education. As a classroom teacher I realized the many problems my students had to deal with. This prompted my to complete my master in school counseling. I have attended several workshops throughout my career to enchance my teaching and counseling methods with Reading, Writing and Grammar for students of any age.

Russell F - Reno, NV 89523 (15.4 mi) - Science 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) - Science 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.

John F - Reno, NV 89523 (17.7 mi) - Science Tutor - $37.50/hr.
Having a degree in physics gives me excellent problem solving skills. Combined with my interest in philosophy I have the confidence to tackle any problem, boil it down to the basic question and from there show each step to the student. There are many different ways to explain math and science concepts, and problems. With the background I have it gives me a good grasp of the material, and this allows me to find the best way communicate that to the student. During my undergraduate work I was a teacher’s assistant (T.A.) for two years. As a T.A. it was my job to run physics for other undergraduates. This included both the calculus based physics and non-calculus based physics. I also worked with an elementary teacher as part of an outreach program to bring science into the class room. Two times a week I would travel to the class room and teach the kids (4th graders) science. Having a BS i
