Christina G. - Cotati, CA 94931 (3.1 mi) - Spelling Tutor - $15.00/hr.
Being a teachers' aide I have a lot of experience teaching younger children their beginning information, such as beginning words, and spelling, and math, etc... I would say my teaching style is really focused on the student and what they need. In school I was an average student never getting lower than a C or higher than in an A. So I really want to focus on listening to the student, especially because they probably are not heard at school. I want to make each subject interesting to the student, whether that means going out and playing basketball or chess or candy or anything the student absolutely loves. I want to attach each subject to a good memory, I don't want to pressure them or push them to just memorize facts that I know they will probably forget after they are tested. From my own personal experience I want any student I tutor to turn around and actually enjoy learning about a su

Robert J. - Petaluma, CA 94954 (5 mi) - Spelling Tutor - $36.50/hr.
The high point of my grade school career was winning a spelling bee as a 4th
grader in competition with 4th and 5th graders. I took Latin in high school,
which has greatly helped my recognizing meaning and spelling unfamiliar words. I'm something of a word freak, my favorite newspaper puzzle being the Jumble, recognizing scrambled words; also like to do crossword puzzles, play Scrabble. Very informal and conversational. I like to laugh and joke as well as understand things that are challenging,
to both pupil and teacher. Repetition with interesting variation, coming at a problem from different angles
solidifies concepts and ideas in our heads. I have a B.S. in Technical Journalism from Iowa State University. I worked on a sales magazine upon graduating
until I was drafted into the armed forces, spending four years as a Navy Electronics Technician. On the G.I. Bill

The beginning of everything, I've got three younger sisters and there has always been a fair amount of helping out where they're concerned. I've babysat since I was twelve and for the past few years I've worked as a nanny. It's not exactly what you would expect for a tutor but I've been offering homework help in those areas for many years.
