The beginning of everything, I've got three younger sisters and there has always been a fair amount of helping out where they're concerned. I've babysat since I was twelve and for the past few years I've worked as a nanny. It's not exactly what you would expect for a tutor but I've been offering homework help in those areas for many years.

During high school I had two years of solo vocal classes and three years of choir. My sophomore thr

lynn z. - Berkeley, CA 94705 (27.1 mi) - High School Shakespeare Tutor - $40.00/hr.
Teaching Shakespeare is one of life's finer joys; the works are rich, insightful and humorous. I believe learning should always be engaging and meaningful. It is critical to address individual student learning modalities and needs so the student can experience great success. I have always been a teacher of best practices, meaning incorporating those strategies and methodologies which are the most effective. They work because they promote high student investment and engagement. I have been a dynamic, successful elementary, middle and high school teacher as well as college instructor of Art, English, French and History for many years. I also taught in a two way language immersion school ( English and Spanish) for six years so I can teach Beginning and Intermediate levels of Spanish. While teaching, I have always taken courses in the best practices of teaching as well as courses in subject

BA in Literature-Creative Writing, working on a Master's Degree in Education Open, friendly, inquiry-based. I would rather sit around and talk about a book with a student and see what they think of it and help them find meaning than just tell them what it means or go over grammar worksheets. That said, I also like grammar and its intricacies.

Amy M. - Oakland, CA 94605 (32.7 mi) - High School Shakespeare Tutor - $90.00/hr.
I know Shakespeare inside and out, with more than 25 years in the theater. I assess the student's level of mastery by listening to parents, communicating with the student (in whatever appropriate way needed) and then doing some basic testing. Once the student is assessed, I design a learning environment and activities that coincide with the student's specific strengths, while adding some elements of challenge. I tend to work in a very focused way for 10-15 minutes, and then add in tactile activities (like Bannana Grams for example) for 10 minutes or so, in order to maintain the student's attention. Children and youth who are struggling to read and write get patient assistance to learn the words correctly. My work will improve writing techniques (including essays and basic writing skills), reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and literary creativity. For younger children I work

Andy H. - San Francisco, CA 94121 (33.1 mi) - High School Shakespeare Tutor - $50.00/hr.
Acted in and directed several of Shakespeare's plays in the Bay Area and in New England. Shakespeare's work can be approached as theatrical literature or as poetry - and as both. Study includes scansion, and content and language analysis. I'm a fairly intense and mellow person. Focus on specifics comes from an understanding of the goals and overall needs of a given project. Who's my audience and what details do I need to gather to make my point or reveal my position? I prefer leading students to answers using questioning and on-your-feet-experience. I have over thirty years experience teaching Theatre and Language Arts for public and private educational and performance organizations, including elementary school through junior college classes, and a mime/movement class at Yale University. I have studied at UCLA, San Francisco State University, the Educational Center for the Arts in New

Benjamin J - Napa, CA 94558 (7.2 mi) - High School Shakespeare Tutor - $41.50/hr.
I try to foster independent learners. If the pupil is perpetually dependent on the teacher, then nothing is gained- money and efforts are wasted. My techniques push students to acquire the skills and tools they need on their own. Everyone can aspire to this level of sucess if they try. I look forward to making a difference in your life, with your help. I have a diverse field of experience. I received a dual B.A. in Linguistics and Anthropology in 2006. This allows me to understand language tutoring at a deeper level than most tutors. This foundation has been augmented by 5 years of teaching experience in ESOL, History, Academic Writing, and Professional interview training which I have conducted all over the world. In 2009, I received my MA in applied linguistics. This degree worked as a capstone to perfect my teaching style in regards to ESL.

Barbara H - Fairfield, CA 94533 (12.7 mi) - High School Shakespeare Tutor - $49.00/hr.
Even before I went to college and earned my B.A., I had already taught two years of ESL in Kachin State, Burma. I came back to the US and earned my degree in East Asian Studies at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana.
A few months after I graduated I went to the People's Republic of China and taught English as a Second Language from 2003 through 2006. In addition, I have completed all coursework for my M.A. in General Education, however, I have not finished the degree which requires student teaching. I am currently employed as a substitute teacher for two local school districts. My teaching style depends on the needs of the particular students. I assess the style needed for a particular lesson and use visuals, such as PowerPoint presentations, textbooks, as well as audio, with such tools as are available after individual assessments.
