Brandi B - Sioux Falls, SD 57103 (38.9 mi) - Literature Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I feel like it is important to connect to students on a personal level yet still retain a professional attitude. Children tend to respond to someone who is fun and friendly, instead of a person who chooses not to connect with students in this way. I am very passionate about learning and teaching what I have learned to others. I think if you can get a child interested in a subject he or she will be more willing to learn and enjoy his or her work more because he or she is personally benefiting from it. I am committed to a students growth as a person as a result of learning and feel that a good instructor is a key to that student's success. I have volunteered for both summer camps (at local science museum) and at vacation bible school programs. I worked at a daycare for 2 years working with a 2 year old class, then worked as a preschool teacher for another year and a half. I have also worke

Randee H - Sioux Falls, SD 57103 (39 mi) - Literature Tutor - $34.50/hr.
The first step in tutoring is to assess the need of the individual and determine what area or areas of learning or skill need to be addressed. It is also necessary to determine the student's learning style so that teaching will be as efficient and successful as possible. I am able to put students at ease, providing as stress-free an environment as possible, and use humor and encouragement as a way of keeping the student interested and engaged. While working toward my bachelor's and master's degrees, I was an honor student and a member of three honor societies. I attribute much of my success to superior writing skills, and have experience educating adults applying to an adult degree program, educating coworkers and others on a variety of subjects, and tutoring classmates in writing. I was a professional writer for a regional newspaper, and have published a journal article and a chapter

Tim M - Sioux Falls, SD 57104 (40 mi) - Literature Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I really enjoy ideas. One of my favorite things is to see someone make a connection for the first time between two ideas or concepts. I enjoy teaching through dialogue and conversation. I have a gift, I'm told, for analogies, and for explaining things in ways that enable people to understand new or complex ideas. My goal in teaching is always to help the students make personal connections with the material, and to show them how the "theoretical" topic of study intersects their life in a real, practical way. During my time at the University of Missouri-Columbia, I earned two degrees: a BA in Philosophy and a BA in Theater. I also took many writing classes, focusing on different types of creative writing, from fiction to poetry to playwrighting. When I graduated in 2002, I spent several years in Barcelona, Spain working with college students. During that time, I tutored students in

Virginia O - sioux Falls, SD 57105 (40.3 mi) - Literature Tutor - $36.50/hr.
Having grown up with a family of educators, there was never any doubt I would become a teacher. I hold a MS degree in Educational Administration and a BS degree in English and have taught 26 years of high school, primarily seniors.
In addition to classroom teaching, I have taught numerous ACT prep classes evenings and was a tutor for Sylvan Learning Center.
At the present, I currently teach a writing and a literature class at University Center in Sioux Falls. In addition, I have been tutoring several high school students in writing and English. Effective teaching requires clear instructing. I attempt to break each assignment down to its simplest level. Ideas must be transformed into practical, relevant information that enable students to make difficult concepts easy to understand and comprehend. It is the only way to appreciate the rote and, in the end, capture the essence of the su
