Joshua T - Vermillion, SD 57069 (39.1 mi) - Literature Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I work well with children of all ages and am considerably patient, easygoing, although stern as well with my students. My teaching style consists of visual illustrations mixed with a lecture or teaching session. Through my experiences at USD I have determined that the amalgamation of these two styles produce more stimulating teachings as well as information retention being maximized as well. I typically work off of a performance based reward system since it appears to me that children are motivated by praise and reward in order to push them to do better on each successive obstacle they encounter in the classroom I just graduated in May 2009 with my Bachelor of Science in Psychology and am currently working on obtaining my Masters Degree in Human Factors Psychology. I also obtained minor degrees in English and Entrepreneurial Studies at USD. Consequently I believe that through my stu

Melissa H - Sioux Falls, SD 57105 (40.9 mi) - Literature Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I've worked with children, adolescents, and adult learners. I've worked in one-on-one settings in a writing center lab and have lectured to a classroom on a college campus and in an on-line setting. I, having taken several teaching practicums and pedagogy classes, work to constantly improve and revise my teaching methods. I try to create a balance between learner-centered theory and teacher-centered. My biggest strengths as a teacher include my compassion for my students as fellow learners and my ability to adapt to any student population as I have worked with countless ESL students from all over the world including Ethiopia, Iraq, China, Japan, Taiwan etc., university students, and public school children of all ages. My most recent professional degree is an MFA in Creative Writing. I taught Composition Writing as an adjunct instructor for 2 years. I work as a roving substitute teac

Virginia O - sioux Falls, SD 57105 (41.6 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

Tim M - Sioux Falls, SD 57104 (42.1 mi) - Literature Tutor - $36.50/hr.
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 both English and Spanish, and several times taught introductory Spanish courses to students involved in summer exchange programs. 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 con

Brandi B - Sioux Falls, SD 57103 (42.9 mi) - Literature Tutor - $36.00/hr.
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 worked as a Latin tutor, both for a semester as a teaching assistant to a high school class, and periodically with individual students while in college. Currently I am working on helping develop a summer science camp course at a local museum. 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 wi

Randee H - Sioux Falls, SD 57103 (43 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
