Joy R - Knoxville, TN 37912 (35.6 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $35.50/hr.
Assuming that most students would rather be anywhere than an English class, I listen to their interests of the moment and then relate them to my goals. I explore their previous knowledge and build on that, avoiding either boring them or talking over their heads. I listen, we laugh, and then I reel them in, constantly showing them how my goals are relevant to their ultimate desires. Fast, if not immediate, feedback is essential to keeping students motivated, as is elaborate explanation of why they scored what they score. Therefore, students see themselves as in control of their own learning, with a benevolent and knowledgeable mentor easing them along. I have taught English to students at levels from seventh graders through college freshmen. My M.A. in English Literature equipped me to inspire both eager and reluctant students to write and read with confidence and capability. As a reporte

Jason W - Knoxville, TN 37914 (36.2 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $36.00/hr.
The teaching style that brings the best success I've found is centered on two points. First of all, it is based on listening, which means getting the student to talk. Eventually, with guidance, I aim to get them the ability to talk through and solve any problem. The second major technique I like to use is analogies. Even complicated subjects can be simplified into their core components which are easy to understand if taught as an analogy to something more familiar in daily life. Just as the Bible uses parables or employers use phrases from team sports to explain team roles, I find lots of success by using analogies. My specialty is reading, writing and research. I have a bachelor's degree from the University of Texas, where I studied government, law and economics. I believe most students can learn or solve any problem by talking it through, which is often easier and more effe

Rena B - Knoxville, TN 37914 (36.5 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $38.50/hr.
Working with different age groups, have shown me that every child is their own individual. I get to know the children I work with to understand the best approach to take with them. I can work in small groups, large groups, or individual. Some children are shy and may work better alone. It takes patience to teach and I am blessed to have that gift. I was determined to be the first to attend and graduate from college out of a big family. I have learned different aspects of Psychology to apply to everyday life. In the last 10 years, I have been working with troubled teens to help them get their lives back on track. I have also done some tutoring in between.

Linda H - Knoxville, TN 37919 (38.4 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $38.00/hr.
Having taught and tutored students from first grade through the college level, I feel qualified to help any student needing assistance with English-related studies. I have taught English in middle school, high school, and college. My experience also includes working one-on-one with students in summer programs sponsored by the university or school with which I was associated. Teaching to all learning styles has provided degrees of success for students that have enabled them to graduate or proceed to the next level of learning. I feel strongly that all students can learn if the key to teaching them is discovered and implemented. I strive to recognize each student as an independent personality, with different needs and different goals. In this capacity, I teach to all levels in whatever learning style is presented by the individual and have helped the student to achieve success in his or he

Ericka M - Knoxville, TN 37920 (38.6 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I graduated from the University of Tennessee with a BA in English Literature. Through my coursework at UT I polished both my analytical and writing skills, while concurrently gaining comprehensive knowledge of the canonical literature that is taught in school today and the methodology of teaching it. Additionally I have a semester of graduate school in education completed, and am well versed in different teaching strategies and used to working with learning disabled and difficult students. I believe in inspiring children to be intrinsically motivated to learn. By learning who a child is we, in turn, learn how to teach them. As a preschool teacher I am patient, encouraging, and motivated. My motto is "if at first you don't succeed try again" and it goes not only for the student but also for the teacher. I try to bring in as many outside experiences as possible to help children form

Britton S - Knoxville, TN 37920 (39.1 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I am an energetic educator and learner. The best way to teach a student is to provide them with the tools they need to discover the information for themselves. A teacher does no good if they simply feed the student the desired information. When we provide the student with the means of discovery, then what they find, they own. Having worked with children of varying ages, I am adept at problem solving and managing conflict, and I have an abundance of patience. Children are eager to learn, and teachers are there to harness that eagerness. My live for the written word resulted in my acquiring a dual major in both Literature and Creative writing. I have entered the field of education so that I may share this passion with others. For the past eight years I have been working in a Montessori school, first in the early childhood classroom, and now in the elementary classroom, resulting in

Sarah B - Knoxville, TN 37934 (39.3 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $35.00/hr.
Both my BA and my MA are in English, and I have extensive experience working in my field. After college, I taught high school English for 6 years. Currently, I work as an adjunct instructor at Pellissippi State Community College and ITT-Tech. Since 2007, I have also worked at the Thornton Center at the University of Tennessee, where I tutor student athletes; I help them with a variety of tasks in the writing process, including brainstorming, outlining, drafting, revising, and research. My teaching style is very relaxed, though I also encourage students to stay focused and on-task. I believe in creating a positive atmosphere where students feel comfortable asking questions and engaging in discussions. When I teach or tutor in writing, I make it my goal to give students a solid structure for composing assignments that they can use to write any paper. When I teach reading, I make it my goal
