gretchen t. - Des Moines, IA 50314 (28.1 mi) - Composition Tutor - $125.00/hr.
I am a college student about to earn my Bachelor;s degree. My mother is a published author, and I have always done exceedingly well on essays I prefer the style of patience and hands on. No computers, no spell check. the only way to learn is to do it yourself. I have tutored adults for free when they have needed a good eye to evaluate their work. Many adults can not spell and have trouble building a basic sentence. I am good at proofreading and helping the thoughts to flow better. I ask a lot of questions in order to help the student understand the thought process.

Kelly L. - Des Moines, IA 50312 (30 mi) - Composition Tutor - $22.50/hr.
I will reiterate whatever the student is struggling with until they really understand. I am very patient and fun! School has been the most important structure in my life since I was a kid. My parents taught me that school comes first above anything else. I took their statement very seriously. I earned a 3.9 GPA at my university with Summa Cum Laude honors. I was a dedicated student who wants to help others succeed in school. I am a babysitter, which comes hand in hand with tutoring. I often help the kids with homework when I'm babysitting. I help my old high school speech and debate team. I must be able to constructively criticize the students but make speech and debate fun and challenging. I work well with kids, from elementary school to high school.

Lisa S - Iowa City, IA 11111 (12.5 mi) - Composition Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I believe in setting goals and working to ensure they are accomplished. In my opinion, learning should never feel like a boring chore. The student should be working hard, but enjoying him or herself in the process, and this is when the most efficient and effective learning occurs. I work to impart certain values in the students I serve, including: fortitude, imagination and pride. While I earned my bachelor's degree in communication from Loyola, I also worked as an Academic coach for high school students. I spent a year tutoring students for an academic competition that tested all skill areas including, writing, math, history and science. I spent the summer of 2006 working closely with people with disabilities. I perfected my teaching skills through hands-on learning/teaching techniques.

Kristi C - Pleasant Hill, IA 50327 (21.6 mi) - Composition Tutor - $37.50/hr.
As a young R.O.T.C cadet, I was very driven to excel in my college education. On my way to becoming a young Army Officer, I earned two bachelor degrees, BA in Communications and BA in Accoutning. My liberal arts educations granted me opportunities to learn and excel in many arenas such as writing, math, science, and the social sciences. I learned the art of effective communication, writing extensive essays and reports, as well as giving many speeches to audiences of various sizes. I also feel very confident in my ability to relay material to others as I was a student ambassador for my college, helped R.O.T.C cadets excel in the classroom, and tutored before and during college. I have tutored students in math, english, science, and the social sciences. I love teaching and admire the occupation. I personally believe that all people can learn and have a passion to learn, regardless of

Michael B - Des Moines, IA 50320 (24.6 mi) - Composition Tutor - $39.50/hr.
My teaching style is that I believe all students can learn but that there are different learning styles and we must match the correct learning style with the student. I am a very patient teacher who can really connect to students and their parents. I will do all that I can do to see your child grow academically. At the elementary level I have 2 years experience as a K,1st and 2nd grade combined teacher, three years as a 1st grade teacher and 1 year as combined 1st and 2nd grade teacher. In the area of special education I have taught students from age 3 to 16 with Mental Disabilities for 8 years. Currently I am working as a substitute teacher for the Carlisle Community Schools and Des Moines Public Schools.

Debra D - Indianola, IA 50125 (25 mi) - Composition Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I am firm, fair, and friendly. I adapt lessons to the student's learning style, bearing in mind what the student needs for success in the classroom. I make learning fun. In 2000 I volunteered in the local high school's journalism class because of my passion for writing. The following year I was offered a position as yearbook adviser, and I further developed my skills with high school students.
Since 2004 I have been a private tutor, teaching all elementary subjects as well as most middle school and high school curriculum. In 2005 I began teaching annual writing workshops at Simpson College for 6th - 12th grade students.
In 2006 I attended substitute teacher training, and I began substitute teaching in 2009. I also had the privilege of instructing college students in a Volunteer Income Tax site this year.

Jeff R - Des Moines, IA 50316 (27.7 mi) - Composition Tutor - $37.50/hr.
The core principle I hold to as an educator is that to be a great teacher I must also be a great student. A willingness to expand one’s knowledge and points of view by interaction with colleagues, students and the professional world which ones teaches about is the best way to insure that students respect you and the information that you give them. If students are taught by a malleable mind, then their minds, too, will be equally flexible. By understanding that all students possess multiple intelligences, and that those intelligences vary from student to student, teachers and tutors should guide instruction towards both the intelligences a student naturally possesses and those that need development. Another successful tool in motivating students is to make sure they know you are there for them beyond your time together and that you take an interest in their entire education. My underg

Michelle B - Ankeny, IA 50021 (28.8 mi) - Composition Tutor - $39.00/hr.
Having lived in France for the first 18 years of my life, has gifted me with the ability to speak French fluently. I am fluent in English also. In fact, in college, I tested out of English and tutored my classmates. I have been tutoring, teaching, and mentoring children, youth, and adults since then. Having been an excellent student myself, gives me the tools I need to help others learn. I graduated with highest honors in college and suma cum laude in graduate school. I have excellent composition, proofreading, and communication skills. I love all children and youth, and I enjoy teaching. Information being taught should start where the individual is and be brought gradually to where he or she will need to be, depending on the level and style of learning. All children can learn, though in different ways, and should be encouraged to compete with themselves. In this way, they stay

Michael W - Des Moines, IA, IA 50310 (30.6 mi) - Composition Tutor - $36.50/hr.
My approach for each class is to focus on the text and do exercises that give students the opportunity to work with the text first-hand. I focus on troublesome areas and I spend many hours planning each class. I prefer to let students come up with their own decisions, and craft their responses into the key ideas of the lesson. I believe that flexibility is key, and this strategy makes the students feel comfortable with discussing and thinking on their own terms. I am currently a teaching assistant for the Simpson College English Department. I selected the books for the semester, drafted the curriculum, and I instruct classes. I also hold advisory office hours. I teach poetry, fiction and nonfiction.
In addition to these things, I am a poet and fiction writer with a high level of experience and craft, and can assist students in expressing themselves creatively.
