And, with English, I have tutored one individual with grammar and composition. I thoroughly enjoy writing, and have an eye for good writing. I try to meet the needs of the prospective student, and teach them in a way that will be beneficial to them.

Gennell L. - Asheville, NC 28803 (13.6 mi) - Composition Tutor - $38.00/hr.
Personal, humorous, and energetic. I tailor games and activities to each class and do not think teaching directly from a text inspires many to learn. Typical key elements of my courses include flexible lesson planning, personalized tests/quizzes, adding cultural content, and incorporating student ideas as much as possible. I have over 20 years of experience working as a university instructor and private teacher for students ages 11-50. Most of my experience has been in English as a Second Language programs for community colleges and research universities, including M.I.T. and Tufts University. For the past several years I have been assisting middle and high school students with Latin (I have studied over 11 years of that language) and have also tutored beginning German and English writing.

Amy B. - Fairview, NC 28730 (20 mi) - Composition Tutor - $27.50/hr.
I am currently in school to become a middle school language arts/social studies teacher. I am about to enter my junior year of college. I have volunteered in middle school classrooms. I have been doing one-on-one care with individuals with mental/physical disabilities for the past year and a half working for the Arc of NC. I have volunteered as a tutor at the Pullen Hope Center in Raleigh, tutoring adults trying to get their GED's. I am all about positive feedback. I think it is extremely important to point out when people do things right, and not just when they do things wrong.

Jason Y - Leicester, NC 28748 (2 mi) - Composition Tutor - $39.00/hr.
My teaching style varies greatly depending on the needs of the student; however, I always try to meet the student first and then decide which approach will be the most effective. My philosophy of teaching revolves around the theory that a tutor or teacher's primary role is to support the student so that each problem can be solved by the student. It is also important to me to apply the subject at hand to the life of the student so that concepts hold meaning in an individuals life. I am patient and capable of working with students from all walks of life. I am a recent graduate with a Master of Science in Environmental Studies with a Conservation Biology concentration. This education has required that I become acquainted with a wide variety of subjects including mathematics and the natural sciences. This also entails having a high level of written and oral communication skills needed

Shannon D - Leicester, NC 28748 (3.8 mi) - Composition Tutor - $34.50/hr.
As a graduate of the University of Georgia, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education and consider myself an avid and life-long learner and a lover of education in all forms. I have earned a bachelors degree, in both English and Anthropology and a certificate in American Sign Language. I have furthered my learning through volunteer positions in my community as well through my chosen career path. During the last ten years I have tutored students on elementary and high school levels, held substitute teaching positions, taught study abroad programs in New Zealand, Australia and Fiji and worked as a journalist and editor and a number of different publications throughout the southeast. Among my many passions, I consider children and education to be two of my highest priorities. I believe that all children have the ability to learn, but each in different ways;

Jonathan M - Asheville, NC 28806 (8.4 mi) - Composition Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I received my B.A. in English from Appalachian State University where I also received training in education. Afterward, I became an instructor at Richmond Community College, teaching basic reading and math to adults with learning disabilities as well as a course on PC literacy & business training. In addition to classroom instruction, I've had one-on-one experience tutoring university students in English and Learning Skills. I strongly believe that the success of education depends on how well it targets a student's learning style and values. Everyone can learn, but individual attention is a vital part of that. We don't all learn the same way or at the same speed, and these differences should be addressed in a positive and creative way to both convey the subject material and strengthen a student's ability to learn in the future.
