Derek B - Highland, IL 62249 (27.7 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I believe the biggest key to learning is finding a way for students to relate to the information. Getting to know the student and relating thier interests to the material at hand is key to making a connection. I also believe it is critical to remain positive and supportive with students. At some point every student becomes frustrated by material that is challenging to them. By being able to keep students in a positive state of mind and by keeping the material fresh and fun, students will be more willing and able to continue the learning process. While my area of expertise is physical education, I have gained great experience in other areas of education while searving as an in house substitute for Highland Elementary. Serving as an in house substitute provided me with experience working with large groups, as well as working with students on an individual basis. This experience also provid

Zachary G - Waterloo, IL 62298 (35.6 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $37.00/hr.
My experience, specifically within the past two years, has been extensive. During this time spent at Webster University I was hired by the Student Literacy Corps, a non-profit organization funded by the university for the purpose of educating students in the St. Louis Public School District in English and writing. In addition to experience in the classroom in developing and implementing lesson plans and developing interpersonal skills with children of many ages, I also studied subjects such as calculus, astrophysics, South African history, and music theory. My experience in school has made me a well-rounded academic, and my experience outside of school has made me a well-rounded educator. I have confidence that I possess the tools necessary to help a child excel in any subject they choose to study. My goal is to help children in any context that I can. Although I have my sights set on be

Andrew B - St. Louis, MO 63118 (42.5 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $58.50/hr.
After having earned both my bachelor’s and my master’s in the St. Louis area, I decided to commit myself to bettering students through education in this area. I have an honors BA in English and Philosophy and an MA in English Composition from St. Louis University and University of Missouri – St. Louis (UMSL), respectively. While I have always excelled at writing academic essays, it wasn’t until my time at UMSL that I turned this proficiency into a profession; my two years as a Writing Lab Tutor was a fulfilling and life-changing experience for me. While my area of expertise is academic writing, I have a strong grasp of the underlying rhetorical principles that make for effective writing in various contexts. I know exactly what teachers and administrators are looking for in “good writing,” but this isn’t something that I was born with or that came naturally—it is a learned skill that my o

Latasha S - St. Louis, MO 63138 (46.6 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I have worked with students of varied ethnic, social, and economic backgrounds. I lean more towards the Progressive style of teaching in that I teach my students the skills and strategies that will help them become successful in society. I am also aware that my students learn differently, so I differentiate my instructions towards their individual needs. I have teaching experience on all grade levels in urban school districts. I am currently a special education teacher in the Saint Louis Public School District, and I have enjoyed the challenge of working with educationally handicapped students and seeing many of them being mainstreamed into the general education population. I have had the opportunity to incorporate a learning center environment based on student needs, and utilized activity centers for individualized and small group instruction. These efforts helped to improve studen

Shelly M - Bethalto, MO 62010 (47 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $39.00/hr.
Because science is a "hands-on" subject, I feel it is extremely important to use demonstrations, examples that are relevant to every-day life, experiments and anything else that will help students understand the world around them. I have been told that I have an "out-of-the-box" approach to learning, but have found it to be successful with the majority of students. Classroom discussions are utilized more often then lectures, because when a student plays an active role in their education, they learn more. Over the past 12 years, I have worked in both the private and public sectors of the education community. I have taught grades 7-12 in all areas of science. I have also been the director of a learning center, where I started as a tutor. The years of experience have taught me a great deal about children of all ages and abilities. With each new year, I learn something new about myself
