Lindsay G - North Las Vegas, NV 89032 (2.1 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $39.50/hr.
Teaching has always been a part of my life. My mother was constantly teaching me, along with my siblings and the twenty other children that ran in and out of our home. I believe strongly in a teaching method that provides encouragement and positivism; one that highlights the good before pointing out the mistakes. My goal is to listen to the child and hear what his or her needs are and where he or she is struggling, and then to actively tackle one issue at a time through creative and interactive activities, problem-solving, and constructive criticism. I believe in children, their innocence, their carefree energy and endless intelligent ideas and innovations. My ultimate goal in life is to make a difference, and children are a great place to start! Growing up my mother ran a tutoring program out of our home. This is where I initially learned the skills involved in tutoring. Ever since I wa

Rhonda G - North Las Vegas, NV 89031 (2.2 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $42.50/hr.
I am very passionate when teaching students and I strive hard to ensure that every student grasps the material. I implore real-world examples to provide students with background knowledge concerning the subject area. I am patient, flexible, a good listener, and easy to communicate with. At all time, I strive to make the learning process fun but very productive. I also am very good at motivating and challenging students to help them reach the next level. As a teacher, I am driven to help motivate students to reach their highest potential. I am patient and flexible and always willing to help provide examples to help students fully understand the material. I received a Bachelors from the University of Michigan and a Masters degree in Secondary Education from the University of Phoenix. While, at the University of Michigan, I was a writer for the student newspaper.

Douglas S - Las Vegas, NV 89130 (3.1 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $35.50/hr.
There is nothing quite like the feeling of observing a breakthrough on the part of a young person as they overcome obstacles to learning. My style is gentle and always positive. I keep to a quick pace, never lingering too long in one area. I am well organized and take notes during each session. I do a lot of follow-up and review during each session to reinforce prior study. I am bottom-line oriented. The only measure that is important is the student's growth. I have tutored consistently from Janaury 2001 through the school year ending in June 2006. I began tutoring on a volunteer basis in as a Literacy Trainer for reading-challenged adults. Thereafter, I tutored high school students preparing to take the SAT, grammar school students struggling with math and reading and most recently as part of the "No Child Left Behind Act." My strength is math, however I have boosted my grammar

Kris L - Las Vegas, NV 89129 (3.8 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I have been a tutor throughout my undergraduate career. I have been employed by a tutoring service as well as independently. I have tutored all levels of high school Mathematics as well as most undergraduate level mathematics courses. I have 3 years experience in these various fields. My teaching style is unique. I make sure that students learn by doing, not by watching me do problems. As a student i always found that the most effective teachers used a style that allowed the student to do problems and ask questions. Today i put these practices to use in my tutoring. I believe that no child is a lost cause and that any child can learn given the right circumstances.

Laura S - Las Vegas, NV 89131-4665 (4.8 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I believe that a teacher's adaptability is the most essential skill. A teacher's style should be evaluated as often as a child's progress. All people develop at an individual pace and style so it makes sense that information should be presented in a manner that actually communicates to each child. Coming from a special education background, it is my belief that every person has the ability to learn. Adapting curriculum for each student would be ideal. For special education this is called the individual education plan. Tutoring, supplemental education, and individual attention to students help to provide this specialized, possibly ideal, situation. Over the past fifteen years, most of my teaching skills have been in non-traditional settings. Providing education for diverse age populations in the area of community programs taught me a multitude of instructional strategies. In 2001, the l

Mauricia B - Las Vegas, NV 89115 (4.9 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $35.00/hr.
As a teacher/tutor, I take a genuine interest in the particular needs of each student. I make it my mission to not only teach the material but also to make sure my student has a solid grasp of each lesson. I am very fun-loving and love to make learning fun, but I take my job very seriously. I enjoy using a lot of supplementary materials, such as games, music, charts, computer programs, etc. to make learning interactive. It is important for a child to master a particular subject, but even more important than grasping any subject is the art of mastery, or developing the ability to learn. I recently graduated from Pomona College, a liberal arts college ranked 4th in the nation. I received my Bachelors of Arts in Black Studies and minored in both politics and Spanish. Black Studies is an interdisciplinary major and includes such disciplines as literature, art history, history, cultural st

Stephen A - Las Vegas, NV 89128 (5 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $35.00/hr.
In my tutoring experience, I have worked with a wide variety of students at different learning levels. The teaching style I employ is tailored to the needs of each individual student. With mathematics, I emphasize an understanding of the key concepts underlying individual problems. I have also found that positive reinforcement is an effective tool for helping students who may be struggling with the material. I have an extensive background in Mathematics. I earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maryland College Park. I have experience tutoring in advanced Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, and SAT preparation. I feel I have sufficient expertise in Physics, Biology, and History to tutor in these areas as well.

John H - Las Vegas, NV 89101 (5.5 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $40.50/hr.
I employ a number of different tactics while teaching. My main focus is using open-ended questions which help students understand not only what the correct answer is, but also why the answer is correct. I am focus-driven and work to set objectives. I will focus on an objective until it is understood completely.
I have a strong ability to relate concepts into real-life situations which helps students to retain the information they gain. As the 7th Grade English and reading teacher at Robison Middle School, test scores on the state-mandated proficiency exam improved by 24%. After one year of service, I was asked to be the Chair of the Reading department. As the instructor for Read 180, I developed students' reading abilities who were far below school and district standards. Using a set curriculum based on computer, large group and small group discussion, I balanced classwork and themed

John T - Las Vegas, NV 89101 (5.7 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $35.50/hr.
I attended very rigorous academic institutions for both high school and college that demanded that their students achieve a well rounded education. As a result, I possess a vast amount of knowledge in a wide array of subjects. I am a very proficient writer and have also passed college level calculus and statistics. I have tutored students in all 5 basic subjects as well as Spanish, which I can speak, read, and write. I have always enjoyed teaching and helping people learn. I discovered that I had a knack for it when I participated in a program tutoring fellow students while I was in high school. I have found that the most effective way to tutor children is to get them excited about learning as well as to make sure that they believe in themselves. I have seen that all children can learn if they have the desire, the motivation, and the proper guidance.

I am a hands on teacher/tutor. I believe in active learning and student participation. I believe all children can learn, and that we all have different learning styles. I enjoy tapping into a specific child's learning style, and teaching him/her strategies to support that learning style. I am flexible and patient, and my years of experience give me the ability to understand each individual student's needs, and align my tutoring to accommodate those needs. I have been a teacher or tutor for over fifteen years. I have taught all grades, K - 12, as well as adults. The majority of my experience has been with students with disabilities, as well as students learning English as a Second Language.
