Sophia H. - Mobile, AL 36695 (30.2 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I'm a certified special education teacher that has taught in MCPSS for over a year. I have worked with kids of all abilities and I would be thrilled to tutor your child and support them in the educational system. I have a library of resources to pull from while working with students. I truly understand about individualized tutoring services. When one technique is not working, then you search for another strategy. For kids with disabilities, you have to continually be thinking outside of the box.

Beverly K - Semmes, AL 36575 (23.1 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $34.00/hr.
I have worked both as a substitute teacher and as a certified teacher for around 15 years. I have taught a variety of different courses. I was certified to teach all sciences grades 7-12. However my certification has expired. I have taught both in the private and public sectors of education. I graduated a member of Kappa Delta Pi, as an international honor society. I graduated with a 3.9 G.P.A. I have also worked as a tutor many times within my career. I also worked with troubled teens as a therapeutic foster parent. I have taught all sciences, math, English, literature, reading, history, geography, geology, and religion. I believe that a teacher should be willing to do whatever is necessary for the student to understand the concept(s) being discussed. Students all learn different things in different ways. I have taught a wide range of students both in ages and in ethic backgrounds. I

Erin L - Mobile, AL 36609 (25.7 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $35.50/hr.
I have always valued the importance of a quality education and have encouraged friends with no college ambition to start working on their degrees. I am not, however, an elitist. I think every endeavor is a learning experience, but there are basic skills that are necessary to be successful, such as grammar, spelling, and professionalism. My experience in formal teaching is mostly in college-level public speaking and coaching Little League, but I am a proficient and tedious writer. I am also familiar with APA, MLA, Chicago, Turabian, and BlueBook formatting styles. As a recreational scientist, as I like to call it, I have also learned a great deal about chemistry (mostly inorganic but some organic), biology, and anatomy and physiology. I come into contact with a variety of different students with different areas of interest as a public speaking teacher. My teaching philosophy is to recogni

Amanda B - Mobile, AL 36693 (27.4 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I have always enjoyed working with students one-on-one. To teach effectively one must understand what motivates the individual, and the only way to do that is to spend time with that person. If a student is a visual learner, I will use visual aids to illustrate the lesson. If a student is an auditory learner, I will concentrate on lecture or video instruction. The key to student learning is to engage the student's interest. And of course, practice is essential when learning a skill, so I give students the opportunity to practice each skill and receive feedback, which helps guide the student into beneficial change and growth. I have been teaching freshman composition at the university level for the past 12 years. I have taught all forms of written communication, such as classical argumentation, proposals, creative writing, essays, business writing, rhetoric, responding to emails, memos,

Victor B - Mobile, AL 36695 (28.1 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $31.50/hr.
I have earned a bachelor of science degree in Biomedical Sciences, with honors, and am currently working toward the completion of a Ph.D. in Basic Medical Sciences. My scientific training supports a proficiency in technical and mathematical concepts. I am also an accomplished and published writer; accordingly, my written composition skills are well-developed. Over the past seven years, I have tutored students in English, written composition, mathematics, and the sciences. I have also successfully guided many high school students through the oftentimes intimidating process of ACT and/or SAT preparation. My instruction has been extraordinarily effective in helping students boost their academic performance, including their test scores. I am young, enthusiastic, understanding, and patient. I am passionate about teaching, and it is my foremost goal to direct students toward academic success.

Jacqueline G - Mobile, AL 36695 (28.7 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I attended Cardiff University where I majored in English studies and Linguistics and have been teaching courses in linguistics, language development and grammar at the college level for 15 years. I currently teach in a speech pathology department and am familiar with communication disorders that lead to literacy and learning problems. I have published widely. I have also mentored and tutored students who are having problems with their writing and literacy skills.
I have become interested in tutoring and preparing both high school students, adults returning to education and younger children to gain better skills in English and literacy. I am looking for summer teaching and part-time tutoring during regular semesters. The key to good teaching is adaptability. First and foremost I believe that every individual can learn but we all have different learning styles. Some individuals may learn

Rachel S - Mobile, AL 36695 (28.9 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I am enthustiatic, committed, and responsible. I have worked with several students with learning disablities including ADD/ADHD and Autism. Additionally, I have spent time tutoring children whose first language was not English (Russian and Spanish, speaking some English). Though ideally every student would make A's, I feel the most important part of any academic process is making sure the child understands the subject for more than just a test. Every child can learn with the right attenion and patience. As a student at the University of South Alabama, I was privledged to be able to take part in many group studies and activities including The Communication Student Association, Chi Omega, Baptist Campus Ministries, and SouthPaws. As a graduate with degrees in English and Communications, I am fully qualified to help students with grammer, composition, creative and technical writing, and lit

Carla M - Mobile, AL 36695 (30.8 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $39.50/hr.
I am an educator both by heart and by trade. It is my desire to extend my love of learning to students. This love includes both reading and writing. My philosophy is that if you can teach a person to read, and show that person how reading opens up new avenues of progress for them, the person will never know limitations. As an educator for seven years, I have worked in several different environments and have worn several different hats. I have a BA in English with a concentration in Mass Communications, an MA in Secondary Education with a concentration in Language Arts, and an MA in Educational Leadership and Administration. I have worked as a middle school teacher, a secondary teacher, and as a post-secondary instructor. At the present time, I am an administrator for a drop-out recovery program. I have tutored for several state-mandated tests in Language Arts and Reading. I have worked d

Kevin D - Pace, FL 32571 (48.1 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $42.50/hr.
In the past, my classes have lasted up to three hours at a time. Thus, I have been forced to implement new methodologies in order to not only keep my students focused and interested, but continually learning as well. I incorporate fun activities such as creative writing and music into my lessons while still closely following the curriculum. I believe that education can be both entertaining and beneficial, just as I believe that all students are capable of reaching new heights of academic excellence. All it takes is a little bit of patience and creativity on both sides, the teacher and the student, to have an unforgettable experience. I have two English-related degrees from the University of Miami, Print Journalism and Creative Writing (Poetry Focus). Since graduating in 2005, I have worked as a teacher in South Korea, Miami Beach, FL, and here in the greater Pensacola area. My classes ha

Cole G - Pensacola, FL 32503 (48.7 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I have always had a strong desire to learn and to teach. I work hard and I am diligent to complete a task. My joy is to work with children of any age to help them grow and develop and learn. I believe it takes love, grace and patience to teach a child. The student must not only be expected to learn from the tutor, but the tutor must also learn from the student. Learning can be made enjoyable when a teacher has an encouraging spirit and does not give up on their student. I believe that any child's capacity to learn is no different than my capacity to learn, however his or her learning style may be different than mine. I desire to teach and learn and to positively impact my student's life. I have a BA in Philosophy/Religious Studies and I also studied Environmental Science with over 40 credit hours. Due to this wide range of studies, I have strong skills in both reading and writing, as wel
