Jonathon A - Nashville, TN 37206 (1.7 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I have had the opportunity to work and help develop young minds for a few years. After college, I tutored full time at a high performing urban charter school where I worked on basic remedial skills with students. I have continued to work with young people to build confidence in their skills and improve their performance in school and on tests. I have tutored students from 5th grade through 12th grade, focusing mostly on math all the way to calculus and English. I believe that the most important characteristic that a teacher must have is consistency. The teacher must develop a system of rigorous work with ample support. I believe that it is imperative to possess an in-depth knowledge of the subject which one teaches, not just be a few pages ahead in the book. In order to achieve this high level, I prepare meticulously for each session, reach the student on his or her level and help guide

Nathaniel S - Nashville, TN 37212 (1.8 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $34.00/hr.
Because I have an extensive background in Psychology, I have a strong understanding of the learning process, as well as many other factors that affect it. I focus on each individual child's strengths and use that to bring their weaknesses up to a higher level. Through patience and encouragement, I believe that most children can experience dramatic improvements in their abilities. I am able to explain complex ideas clearly, in simple terms that are understandable. Then I expand on what the child already understands until they have mastered the more advanced concepts. I greatly enjoy the excitement, challenge, and reward of enriching a child's life through education. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Southern Illinois University. This gives me a broad knowledge base in many educational arenas. I have tutoring experience with the program "Second Chance Saturdays" for high

Kelly C - Nashville, TN 37204 (3 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $34.00/hr.
As an English major at the University of Florida, I found a love for language learning and language acquisition; as a result, I declared Linguistics and TESL as additional majors. In these majors, I became quit ept at understanding grammatical principles and language learning theory. I began volunteering my knowledge to foreign language learners and found that I loved helping others learn. After receiving my BA, I began teaching writing and reading to native and non-native speakers at Santa Fe Community College in Gainesville, FL. As an English teacher, I also found other job opportunities at labs on campus and with private tutoring companies. One of the labs I worked in, the CLAST lab, also tutored math: college algebra, statistics, geometry, and logic. In this lab, I learned how to effectively teach math as well. In addition, I began teaching speed reading with a private seminar gr

Jessica C - Nashville, TN 37206 (3 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I have considerable experience in teaching reading and writing skills. Through my studies in undergraduate and graduate programs, I have gained a firm grasp of the knowledge and skills necessary to teach English. Also, during my graduate studies I took a course on best teaching practices in a classroom setting. Further, I have two years of teaching experience at the college level and have worked as a tutor at the elementary and middle school level in the past. These experiences have fully equipped me to be a tutor for Advanced Learners. Thank you for your time and consideration. In the classroom, I believe the collaborative approach is the best method for teaching. For impactful learning to occur, students must be directly and actively involved in their learning. This can be done through group work, group activities, and class discussion. This approach is also best for tutoring.

Drury P - Nashville, TN 37206 (3.8 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $36.50/hr.
Family & friends have expressed to me that my open-mindedness & clever & creative nature allow me to have an almost sixth sense-like intuition. Through the NCLB program, I put this theory to the test, & to be perfectly honest, I feel as if I lived up to this supposed “inherent capacity” to touch & better the lives of underprivileged, neglected, inner-city youth. As an educational activist, I REALLY, REALLY try to get & know each child on an individual basis. I want the child to become comfortable with me in their immediate environment: if a child cannot trust, respect, & admire his or her educator as a mentor, how can we truly expect the child to take his or her education seriously? Can we expect a progressive future if our children’s latent potential is never tapped into, & only remains dormant? I’m here to make that possibility less likely. From an early age, growing up in a loving

Regina M - Nashville, TN 37218 (4.6 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $35.50/hr.
As a student, I was promoted from hostess to assistant controller of a restaurant within the period of one year and prior to graduation from the community college. I have over 20 years experience working in accounting and the last 12 of those years as the supervisor of the accounting department in roles titled accounting manager and controller. I have always hired new graduates and mentored them through their first accounting jobs. I have also encouraged each employer to pay their interns and have trained them as well. I'm patient and understanding the complexities of accounting and the ensuing panic that it sometimes causes. In my experience the fundamental reason people need tutoring boils down to a failure to truly understand the concept of the debit and credit. I always begin by reviewing these concepts and ensuring that the student/intern fully understands the logic behind the

Othman H - Nashville, TN 37211 (5.3 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $32.50/hr.
I would look for the background of tutee and tailor my presentation to the level of student. I would correct the deficiency of the student's background before addressing the current subject matter. I would give lots of detailed examples. I would start by stating the fact and the theorem , then give many examples to explain how this example applies to the theorem or fact.My approach is hands-on. I will monitor the learning process until the student has an in-depth mastery of the concepts I have done individual tutoring in the last 35 years in a large number of subjects on call . This includes tutoring young children in math and other subjects. I tutored college and university students in Algebra, abstract algenra, linear algebra, Calculus, precalculus, areal and complex analysis,ordinary and partial differential equations,statistics and probability, statics, dynamics and many other subj

Christopher D - Nashville, TN 37207 (7.5 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $55.50/hr.
While earning my M.F.A. I took an advanced course in the pedagogy of teaching writing, which focused on the teaching of remedial writers. I worked in the university's Writing Center as a consultant while also teaching a first-year composition course, and went on, after earning my degree, to teach college writing full time.
At the Writing Center, I worked one-on-one with students to improve papers assigned for subjects as diverse as Biology, Economics, and Dancing. In addition, I have nearly ten years of experience editing literary magazines, and I wrote monthly articles for two different local magazines for two years. Not every student learns in the same way, and understanding this simple concept is crucial to successful teaching and tutoring. My goal is to understand where each student is in their larger journey as a writer, as well as where he or she is in terms of the immediate wor

Peserai C - Antioch, TN 37013 (8.9 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I enjoy finding out a student’s area of difficulty and address it directly. Students have different learning styles, it easy for me teach in a variety of styles so that to make sure my students understands. I do also apply almost everything I teach to real world situations, for example most young students may think that learning about triangles will not benefit his/her career in business. As his/her teacher I will show the student how one can use triangles to determine where to built a manufacturing company equidistant (meaning the distant between each raw material supply place to the manufacturing place is the same) to three raw material supply areas, which are not in the same place. I have had experience as a teacher for 2 years. My employer was Metro Nashville public school and they certified me to teach mathematics to grades 9th through 12th. As a teacher I taught geometry at Mcgavoc

Princess W - Hermitage, TN 37076 (9.3 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $41.50/hr.
One of my greatest pleasures in life has been the opportunity to teach my children after school, help them with their home work, and teach them how to develop lifelong good study habits.

It gives me great pleasure and a sense of pride when I see children excel in school because they have learned good study habits. I am a graduate of Wake Forest University with a BS in Biology. I am also highly knowledgeable in Chemistry. My education at Wake Forest gave me the opportunity to develop great writing skills. I am highly proficient in writing and speaking.

Brent H - Brentwood, TN 37027 (9.9 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $31.50/hr.
As my experience at college drew to a close, I found that the most rewarding activities I participated in were centered on education. I am a lifelong learner, and I love participating with others in the learning process. I set a relaxed atmosphere that fosters the students drive to ask questions and seek answers. I am comfortable with taking control of a session and speaking throughout (Lecture) or allowing the student to come up with their areas of difficulty and ask questions (Synthesis). I believe that educators frame the future of the young people they contact, and I want to help others as I have been helped in the past. I also would like the opportunity to learn by doing, and see if this field is the one for me. As a college student, I was convinced early that I would become a doctor or scientific researcher. About halfway through my college career, I decided that while science was
