John M - Hendersonville, NC 28791 (1.2 mi) - Drawing Tutor - $49.50/hr.
I absolutely enjoy working with students of all ages. I place a high value on education because there is no replacement for this key component in a student’s quest for success. I have several years experience as a volunteer coach and understand all too well the delicate balance that exists between teaching, encouragement and constructive analysis. I am a hands-on teacher and firmly believe that clear instructions unified with connected repetition are vital for material comprehension. All students can not only meet, but exceed their academic expectations when given the right tools combined with positive reinforcement I have earned two bachelor degrees, a BS in Information Science and a BA in Political Science. My graduate work is in Policy and Management from the College of Information at the Florida State University. I have been a substitute teacher for Hillsborough County, Florida and a

Jolien C - Hendersonville, NC 28791 (1.3 mi) - Drawing Tutor - $37.00/hr.
Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to be a teacher. Throughout 20 years of school, including my bachelors/masters programs I finished shortly after high school, several wonderful teachers/professors came into my life influencing me into teaching. I have always wanted to give back to those teachers/professors what was shared with me. As an educator/role model to students, I always keep those teacher memories in my head, as I give and share towards their lives…especially keeping in mind that my job is to help each child achieve to their highest potential as possible for them to become successful in life. I love working with people. Getting to know the people you work with is truely the first step to help any educational situation become successful. As I described above, I have many experiences to share from my 13 years of teaching. I am a very open and flexible educator that uses

Sabrina B - Fletcher, NC 28732 (2.1 mi) - Drawing Tutor - $37.00/hr.
Having taught high school in both affluent and underprivileged areas I strive to make sure that every student has a positive learning experience. My degree is a BS in Communication/Business with a minor in education. Language has always been my first love and I continue to take classes related to this field. The past few years I have worked in sales but I continue to tutor. My philosophy has always been, "make it interesting and they will learn." However, what is interesting to you and I may not be interesting to the next person. Therefore, I listen to the child and figure out their learning style and interests. Only then can I properly teach and know they understand the subject matter. It is always exciting to see a Childs face when something clicks and they have that, "I understand what she is talking about moment."

Grace E - Hendersonville, NC 28791 (2.1 mi) - Drawing Tutor - $38.00/hr.
My teaching style is to come from a place of respect and caring for the student. I will never strip a student of their dignity. I love teaching and relating to young people. As I work with a student, supporting and encouraging them, I help them move forward in ability and knowledge, as they become more competent and confident, gaining their own momentum. I teach because I love children. It is very satisfying to help a young person with their studies. I have been in elementary classrooms from Kindergarten to 5th grade and feel comfortable teaching all subjects. I love teaching and excel at engaging students in their work.

Melinda Q - Horse Shoe, NC 28742 (3.8 mi) - Drawing Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I taught at Brevard High School for 4 years as a Computer Engineering and Networking instructor. I am currently working part time as the Computer Lab Instuctor/IT Tech Support contact at Immaculata Catholic School in Hendersonville, NC. I am looking for part time work to supplement my hours at Immaculata. I also have many years of one on one teaching and training with students, workers, administration, and management. In other words, I believe I can work with various levels of understanding. I believe that every day offers the opportunity to either learn or teach or both. There is no situation where there is not something to be gained, or shared. I believe every child is different. The opportunities offered to each child are the same, it is the acceptance and interpretation that is the challenge.

Laura P - Asheville, NC 28803 (7.3 mi) - Drawing Tutor - $42.00/hr.
I am a mother of 3 children who are all very successful students. My eldest will graduate a semester early from college this month. My middle child is a junior in college and my youngest child is a senior in high school who will be entering college next fall. I speak of my children because I have helped them whenever they have had problems with their studies. When my older two were in elementary school, I was a coach for their Odyssey of the Mind teams. I pride myself on my understanding of grammar and am very good with math as well. I tutored elementary school students as a part-time job in college and later tutored students in my son's class. I understand that any child can run into problems with schoolwork. I try to find out why the child is having a problem before trying to help them. Did he miss something and fall behind? Is she simply bored with the subject? The approach I t

Melanie V - Asheville, NC 28803 (8.2 mi) - Drawing Tutor - $35.50/hr.
The last six years I have taught using a most effective multi-sensory method of instruction for children with language-based differences, both as a full-time teacher and a part-time tutor.
I possess excellent communication, computer, organizational, and teaching skills.
I’ve taught in a variety of situations from elementary to high school levels in both private and public school settings. I have tutored in an after-school reading clinic, as well as in home settings. I've held social work positions working with children considered “at risk,” educationally and/or behaviorally. The visual-auditory-kinesthetic or VAK method of instruction is a hands-on, child-involved method that reaches students with all types of learning needs. It is my primary teaching strategy utilized.
I find it important to match reading material,(utilizing both student ability and interest levels,)to promote max

I am a Spanish speaker and try very hard to create positive relationships with the Hispanic population at the schools in which I have worked. I am an enthusiastic creative teacher. I truly love teaching. I know that this was my calling in life. I am passionate about helping students become excited about their education and developing a positive sense of self. I believe that a well-balanced education can influence all aspects of a child’s life.

Mary Beth S - asheville, NC 28803 (11.4 mi) - Drawing Tutor - $36.50/hr.
Coming from an academic family with a father who is a Philosophy professor and a mother who studied child developmental psychology, I understand the importance of a quality education. I earned two bachelor degrees, one in Spanish and one in Anthropology. I have linguistic and cultural competence because of many years of traveling. I am an avid reader in Spanish and English. I hope to go back to school to get my PhD in Applied Anthropology. I have written ethnographic research papers as well as various other types of essays and vignettes. When I traveled to Guatemala last summer, I volunteered as an English teacher and taught a class of about 15 teenagers. I also tutored 3 children who were about 11 to 12 years old in English while in Guatemala. Now, I am tutoring a 25 year old mother from El Salvador; we meet every week for 2 hours. I believe in listening and taking the time to fi

Kyle K - Asheville, NC 28806 (12.8 mi) - Drawing Tutor - $39.00/hr.
After working with adults and my peers in Boston, I've come to appreciate how rewarding teaching is. I believe that not all students learn the same way and thus aim to be as flexible as possible with each new pupil in order for them to get the most out of our time together. This may include physical expressions of a concept, pictures, or well-organized notes gone over orally. People learn well through positive reinforcement and helping children feel good about themselves while learning will not only provide a strong foundation for self-esteem, but also promote a positive connection with knowledge for years to come. I hope to help shape the future generations to be as aware about the world as they can. Through the experience of pursuing my degree at Boston University, I was exposed to many different styles of learning and teaching due to my interdisciplinary concentration in Latin America

Elspeth H - Asheville, NC 28806 (13 mi) - Drawing Tutor - $35.00/hr.
In order to effectively teach, I feel it is important to recognize and understand each student's metacognitive learning style. Once that is understood the material can be introduced to them in a way that they can perceive. I also feel that it is important to empower students to have the confidence to think for themselves and understand their own ability to make connections about the material. Therefore, when I teach, I think it is important to constantly ask the students questions and direct them towards the answers as opposed to feeding them information that they memorize. Putting meaning behind the information is crucial for effective learning. After graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill, I spent 8 months working at a wilderness therapy program. At this school I taught students life skills in a wilderness setting. After leaving this school, I spent the summer teaching art at a small su

Robert G - Asheville, NC 28801 (13.1 mi) - Drawing Tutor - $38.00/hr.
Studying art has made me a keen observer of both the the human condition and the world that surrounds us. There is a complexity in this experience that involves aesthetic decision making, technical applications of craft and an underlying philosophy that serves to communicate my ideas. Much of my knowledge comes from hands on learning and through apprenticeships which laid the foundation for for my later academic degrees (BFA Film making, MFA Sculpture, MA Art Education). Having a clear set of expectations for students establishes a good learning environment. When a student has a goal to strive towards, borders are established and the spontaneity of my teaching style serves to keep my lessons lively. From my experience as an apprentice and from
my tendency towards the hand made, I try to use physical examples as I teach in an effort to help a student retain information. Through experien

Betsy C - Asheville, NC 28806 (13.1 mi) - Drawing Tutor - $38.00/hr.
Since I am an artist, I naturally try to teach in a way that honors intuitive ways of learning. I believe that students can often sense the correct way to do a math or writing problem and should be encouraged to trust their own intelligence. Everyone has his/her own way to get at a particular problem. I think the key to understanding many learning difficulties is respecting the child's own processes. I elected to homeschool my three children who are now teenagers; thus I have many years of one-on-one teaching experience. I feel that some children need to be away from the stresses sometimes experienced at school in order to discover their academic gifts. An individual tutor has the luxury to get to know the student, see thier potential, and cheer them on in a way that a classroom teacher may not have the time to do. In our homeschool we have used a variety of curriculums which have mo
