Helane G - Cedar Rapids, IA 52403 (21.9 mi) - Special Education Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I have always been a lover of children starting in middle school volunteering at learning activities for children. Since then, I have developed skills in teaching, especially in the area of reading. I
believe children should be educated in the least restrictive environment, placing them in the situation where they can best reach their potentials. I try to engage children in challenging, interactive and reinforcing learning situations. I approach material from the visual and auditory perspectives. I am dedicated to making a learning experience productive and rewarding for the child, building skills and healthy self-esteem. I have had a passion for reading all of my life. I pursued a bachelor's degree in English from the University of Wisconsin, which I received in 1973. I have taught children of all ages and disabilities in all academic areas. I prefer working with younger students. I h

Cheri B - Cedar Rapids, IA 52402 (24.3 mi) - Special Education Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I thoroughly enjoy working with students, and provide fun yet focused tutoring. I hold a Masters degree in Linguistics, and have teaching experience for students of all ages, in various settings, including as a substitute teacher in public schools, a full-time teacher of ESL at the University of Iowa, an adjunct ESL teacher at Northern Virginia Community College, and ESL/SAT tutor with a private company. I most often teach English, Communications, and Writing skills to students. I am friendly and make students feel very comfortable, and am great at getting them motivated. I first like to understand the student's learning style, as we all have different methods of learning. Some are visual, others do better with reading a text, or using examples. I use a variety of methods to teach my students, depending on age. I also want to learn where and why the student is struggling with the subjec

Krystal M - Cedar Rapids, IA 52404 (26.5 mi) - Special Education Tutor - $32.00/hr.
I currently teach in an interim classroom for secondary students who have been suspended or expelled. I teach all subjects, but am most comfortable with LA and math. Before this, I taught in a high school classroom for students with behavioral disabilities. I taught LA and social skills. I also have been a para-educator in a junior high school, a substitute teacher, and taught dance lessons. I have worked with students of many different backgrounds, ages, and abilities. I love to help a student find that "a-ha" moment where he or she finally understands a concept that has been a struggle. I enjoy teaching new concepts or working with students to master a concept.

As a graduate of Bethel University, I am currently pursuing a teaching career and am committed to excellence. While I was at Bethel, I earned two bachelor degrees, one in Creative Writing and one in Spanish.

Each of these friends received A's or B's on their polished work. I also studied in Spain for one semester to complete my degree.

Mark E - Durant, IA 52747 (38.9 mi) - Special Education Tutor - $39.00/hr.
My teaching has been geared toward providing students with every opportunity to succeed. I have a strong passion to educate young minds and help them develop into well-rounded, respectful, and responsible individuals. Throughout the course of my teaching career, I have had numerous opportunities to teach diverse groups of students, including those with learning disabilities, those who perform at grade level, and those who are gifted/exceptional. As a result, I continually design creative and stimulating lesson plans, which accommodate the multiple intelligences, bring a hands-on approach to learning, and keep students interested and focused. As a graduate from the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire with a Bachelor of Science degree, I am a very organized and self-driven person. I have a Wisconsin and Arizona Teaching License. I have taught fourth grade for four years and have used m

Ashleigh V - Davenport, IA 52806 (48.3 mi) - Special Education Tutor - $59.50/hr.
I love teaching and assisting children in all grade levels to succeed. I do believe that all children can learn, and that each child is different. I am very patient, kind, considerate, and energetic. I love to teach with hands on experiences. I believe that in order to educate individuals that, they need to be provided with superior student-centered educational experiences, which will then prepare them to become productive and responsive achievers. I think that by being a good teacher and giving it your all each and every day that you will make a difference in that child's life and they will remember you when they are older. As early as I can remember I have always wanted to have a degree that involved children. So i decided to go to college to become an Elementary School teacher. I graduated from Black Hawk College where I earned my associates degree. After completion of my associates I

Lindsey M - Davenport, IA 52803 (50.5 mi) - Special Education Tutor - $35.50/hr.
My experience as a teacher has been gained through my work at Easter Seals, a pediatric physical therapy center, for which I have taught many children skills in life, communicating, and other various skills. I believe that a good teacher student relationship is imperative. Also I think that learning is best done in a stress free environment. I strive to provide that environment for the children I assist. It is also my belief that with a little hard work, some encouragement, and lots of attention a difference can be made in someones life. I have worked extremely hard to develop a well rounded educational background. I have earned a BS in Exercise Science, with a minor in Business Administration. I also have completed several elective math and science courses as prerequisites for a Doctorate of Physical Therapy of which I will be starting in the 2009-2010 school year. I have had the privil

Stephanie N - Bettendorf, IA 52722 (52.1 mi) - Special Education Tutor - $36.50/hr.
My teaching philosophy is to provide a safe and welcoming learning environment for my students, in which they feel equal and confident as learners. Creating a positive learning environment begins with building a strong rapport with students and coworkers. Another aspect of building a strong classroom community is motivation. As a teacher, my goal is to help student build strong self-efficacy so that they feel inclined to work hard and develop an inner sense of motivation. I use scaffolding in my instruction, so the students are able to watch me demonstrate the skill or strategy, and slowly I turn over more and more responsibilities to the student regarding that skill until he or she is able to do the skill without my assistance. I graduated from the University of Iowa on May 15, 2010 with a BA in Elementary Education and a reading endorsement. Apart from my area of specialization, r
