Manuel R. - San Antonio, TX 78249 (36.5 mi) - Literature Tutor - $22.50/hr.
Over one year's experience tutoring writing at the college level. 8 months as a peer tutor at College of the Mainland, and 3 months self-employed. A variety of subjects covered using MLA and APA writing styles. Students that were helped ranged from collegiate high school to returning adult students. Creative and technical writing also covered. Instead of time-consuming lesson plans, my sessions are based on the student's daily needs with a focus on any trouble areas encountered. The direction of the session is influenced by the student's opinions.

Rebecca W. - San Antonio, TX 78245 (36.9 mi) - Literature Tutor - $24.50/hr.
I have my Bachelors Degree in Professional Writing with a minor in Creative Writing. In other words, I've suffered through hundreds of grueling English assignments. I know the pain, and I know how to get you through it. I've worked for magazines, taken teaching courses, written many stories, worked as a copy writer, and I do volunteer teaching at a church every Sunday. Interactive, practical, and fun!

Presenter of Scholarly Papers I tend to be really flexible and try to adapt my teaching style to the learning style of the student. For students who tend to be more tactile, I might have them handle apples if a math problem references apples. If a student is working on a writing assignment, I will offer suggestions (such as marking spelling/grammar/punction mistakes) and help them learn how to correct the errors so they won't continue to make the same errors in the future.

Justin T - Helotes, TX 78023 (34.1 mi) - Literature Tutor - $39.50/hr.
My missionary experiences informed me of one idea: people are important and they have to be considered person-by-person. Those experiences have led me to take a teaching philosophy and teaching practice that is person-centric. I work to understand the rhetorics, theories, practices, and experiences that inform each student and the classroom as a whole. In practice, this manifests in extensive talking and co-writing (on daily assignments) to assess where exactly these students are at and how I can help them. I believe that each student, each individual, has the desire and capacity to learn, so I am constantly working to demystify composition so they can truly see how language can inform them and make their lives better. Applicable to this job, I remember my high school years and the processes I had during my English and Composition assignments. I completed an English Bachelor’s degree, wi

Working hard and always driven is how I was able to obtain a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in Bilingual 4th – 8th grade. Sul Ross State University gave me the tools and expertise needed in order to achieve mastery on my chosen career in education as well as making me proficient in all academic areas such as English, Math, and Science including Bilingual Education.Furthermore my college courses at Sul Ross made me alert to the importance of hands on activities, visuals aids and providing individualized instructional support for a diverse population.During the last four years Ive had the privilege to gain a great deal of knowledge and to experience working with kids on a day to day basis. Working with kids is my fascination. I believe that teaching children should not be standing up and lecturing or simply explaining something. Its about getting to kno

Sean d - San Antonio, TX 78228 (40.6 mi) - Literature Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I began teaching as an Instructor and Dean's Fellow in Rhetoric and Composition and in English literature courses while a graduate student at the University of Iowa, consistently earning student praise in end-of-course evaluations. I bring the depth and breadth of full baccalaureate majors in Greek, Latin and British literature to my teaching and research, and am adept at assisting students who have not benefited from exposure to advanced essay composition. I feel I am specifically gifted in empowering my students to work hard at improving their essay skills. It is, after all, the essay that constitutes all college-level discourse, and for this reason it is imperative that college-bound students be well-honed writers of expository prose. I have a reputation for making often difficult and recondite literature accessible and appealing, while candidly admitting its rigors. My personal ed

Amanda W - San Antonio, TX 78213 (41.4 mi) - Literature Tutor - $37.00/hr.
In my experience as a tutor, I have acquired the highly important skill of adaptability. Certainly, particular techniques and strategies such as asking provocative questions are helpful with any student of any age. More importantly, though, I have learned that the best tutors are those who can shape each session to the tutee's individual needs and personality. This is most easily accomplished in developing a flexible approach constituted by a blend of directive and non-directive tactics. With this approach, my goal is always to aid the tutee in feeling comfortable and confident in developing new ways of thinking about his or her work, and, from there, helping him or her along the journey to success. In 2008, as an upper-level English major, I accepted a position with Schreiner University wherein I hoped to use my education in the concentration of composition. For the rest of my college

Kathleen R - San Antonio, TX 78201 (42.3 mi) - Literature Tutor - $38.50/hr.
As a professional teacher, I see my role as a facilitating educator, supporting adult students in what they need and want to know and learn. It is the teacher's responsibility to serve the education needs of the student in a communicative, patient and enjoyable manner. I believe learning new skills and absorbing new knowledge, in themselves, are two of the greatest joys of life. Essentially, learning is a pleasure. As with all adult education, the actual responsibility for learning is the student's; the teacher creates purposeful lessons, guides, corrects, assesses and, certainly, supports and praises all efforts. Also critical to the success of the student-teacher relationship is mutual trust and respect. I was graduated from the St Louis 4-year Liberal Arts high school, St Joseph's Academy, after which I spent many years in Australia. All my tertiary and teacher's credentials are from

Timothy C - San Antonio, TX 78225 (45 mi) - Literature Tutor - $59.50/hr.
From the beginnings of my education, I have had a strong sense of personal excellence in my academic career. Being home schooled with the accelerated A Beka curriculum, I was able to outperform many of my peers in the public school system. My early education had given me a particularly strong grasp of grammar, reading comprehension, and writing; my proficiency with these increased by studying Latin and Ancient Greek at Trinity University. I graduated with honors from Trinity with a B.A. in Classical Studies, having won awards and having received a full tuition fellowship for the M.A. program at Tulane University. I have tutored in history, reading, writing, and grammar in my spare time, and I am currently a Teaching Assistant at Tulane. Tutoring has long been a passion of mine. I find great joy in helping others, particularly children, advance their own knowledge and education. My goal i
