Jimmy S. - Schertz, TX 78154 (32.7 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $35.00/hr.
Many of my works of poetry have been published in national publications and well as being used for public use such as The Whitney Project, greeting cards, and postcards. My first job right after turning 16 was working as a photographer and journalist for the local newspaper in my hometown. My main job was working with the teen section; GeneratioNext asking questions, taking polls, and writing articles that were teen related to teen issues, college and continuing education, and career goals. Throughout my junior high school and high school years I worked closely with the editor of the school newspaper as a writer, and with the yearbook committee taking classes in journalism and photography. When I started pursuing my associates while enrolled at San Antonio College I took photography classes more for recreation and to hone my hobby and appreciation for photos, editing, and working behind

David V. - Austin, TX 78704 (39.8 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $20.00/hr.
I take a servant leadership, customer-oriented approach to my responsibilities. I routinely try to answer the following question: What can I do to help students achieve their goals? For research papers, I encouraged students to pursue their own interests, such as a subject related to their major, in order to give them a better opportunity to enjoy the research process as opposed to merely fulfilling an exercise requirement. From January 2006 through August 2008, I worked part-time as a freshman composition instructor, writing lab tutor, and teaching assistant for the English department at UNT. As an instructor, I taught two classes per long semester and one, intensive summer session. During the fall semesters, I taught Composition I, which introduced students to a variety of writing concepts, such as the personal essay and the visual text. The students wrote five papers, three to f

Susan E - Bastrop, TX 78602 (30.3 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $34.50/hr.
I have found through my most recent teaching and tutoring opportunities that all children have the capability to learn. Some just need that one-on-one assistance in order to succeed. I believe in hands-on learning that provides students of all learning styles with the opportunity to excel. I also believe in discussion as another means of learning through the method of Socratic questioning for all levels of English learning. I am eager to provide the means for each of my students to be able to not only learn to read and write effectively, but to also be able to use critical thinking in all subjects and levels of learning. In order to achieve the knowledge necessary to teach secondary level students reading and writing skills I have been driven to achieve a Masters degree in Secondary Education with an emphasis in Secondary English. Through extensive research of learning strategies for bot

Elaine P - Wimberley, TX 78676 (31.8 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $61.00/hr.
I've always had a love of learning, and have naturally slipped into an informal tutor role with friends. During high school I took several AP tests and at the same time earned the International Baccalaureate diploma, so I understand very well the pressures involved. My two bachelor's degrees (Computer Science & Engineering) give me a strong foundation in math and science.
I have experience as a teaching assistant for undergraduates. In addition, for several summers I participated as a volunteer in my public library's reading program, working one-on-one with children of all ages. I feel quite confident in English thanks to my habit of recreational reading and writing, along with extensive experience writing papers, reports, and the like. I firmly believe that you learn best when you're having fun. Once a topic fascinates you, your mind automatically engages more, which helps you rememb

John D - Bastrop, TX 78602 (33.7 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $42.00/hr.
My teaching style is one in which I strive to engage students in the subject by both instructing and challenging them to think on their own. I also strive to accomplish this goal in such a manner that the student experiences the fun that is a part of learning, but one that also emphasizes the importance of the learning process as well. In all of my tutoring and teaching experiences, I communicate how critical good study habits are: self-discipline; finding a quiet place to study; punctuality; attention to detail; following the rules; etc. As a person who holds both a BA and MA in English, each with concentrations in writing (creative and technical, respectively), I am qualified to, and have for several years, tutored English language studies skills, including composition, grammar, punctuation, and reading comprehesion, to students from the third grade through college. I have also taught

As a student-athlete from the University of Texas at Austin, I understand what it takes to be a well-disciplined, organized, focused, dedicated student. I hold a bachelor degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders, which has allowed me to master a number of areas, including english, math, and science. I have also gained exceptional experience in formatting, researching, writing, editing, and revising numerous written works. These skills allow me to help your child become a very skilled reader, writer, and mathematician. I have tutored English and Math over the last two years. I have a truly divine passion for working with children. I will not stop until I have helped your child discover all of his/her academic talents!

Vanessa J - Wimberley, TX 78676 (37.4 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $42.00/hr.
For three years, I have been a writing consultant for students at Rice University who took classes in rhetoric & composition. Some students have been ESL (English as a Second Language). I have tutored at least 25 students total (about 5 per semester), and so I have had experience with tutoring students with a variety of needs. I recognize that each meeting is unique, and I have a great amount of patience and empathy. I am calm and open, and I want to do what I can for my students to feel at ease in discussing their writing. Understanding my students' needs and providing a good atmosphere of dialogue are priorities. I think that the written word is very important, and I want to do what I can to help students feel comfortable with this form of communication.

Mary W - Weimar, TX 78962 (37.4 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $37.50/hr.
My original degree was in English with a minor in Spanish. I received my teaching certification in 1979 in Secondary English/Spanish. I taught adult ESL part time for 2 years in the evenings. After a taste in this field, I began teaching in ESL and have taught 9 years in public schools. With one school district I also had a class helping students with the English part of the TAAS test. During the rest of my career I taught Spanish which was also 9 years. I believe the first thing you need to do is to find out what the student needs help with. At times I have used music, poetry, or
computer programs to get the students attention. Repetition is very helpful and note cards are good for memorization. Taking notes is a good way for the student to stay focused. A little comedy helps too to help students to remember. I enjoy helping students, adult or younger, feel the success of learn

Judy A - San Antonio, TX 78233 (38.1 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $36.50/hr.
It has been my privilege to teach at many levels and venues over my career which started in the mid 70’s. Elementary Education was my first major, and I enjoyed teaching in a Christian setting at 5th and 6th grade levels for many years. I opened my own Reading Center to help special students.
Later I went to graduate school at St John’s College. I’ve taught Jr. High, H.S., and Jr. College. Most recently Sylvan Learning Center has given me great experience teaching reading, writing, and math. My goal is to help students succeed in learning and in gaining confidence. My teaching style is to get the student engaged through multi-sensory and high interest sources. Utilizing student’s strengths helps gain early success and a willingness to grow and be challenged in new areas.
I consider my 25 years of teaching experience to be a rich storehouse from which I can draw for future opp

Lanelle C - San Antonio, TX 78233 (38.2 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $40.50/hr.
Depending on who I am teaching and what topic, I firmly but gently involve the students in the areas where they need help. I motivate them to a greater interest, therefore a more satisfactory outcome. Because I love reading, writing, and communicating, my interest and enthusiasm becomes contagious to others. I am patient and inventive in my teaching methods, fitting my style of teaching to the interests and experience of the student. When a student enjoys reading and writing, he or she then is more excited about learning for the rest of his or her life. These people become leaders. Therefore, I strive to entice my students to discover the joy in learning throughout their lives. I love the English language with its nuances, beauty, and precision of meaning. I taught in public schools for a number of years as a substitute, then returned to the university to study teaching of art, fina
