John L - Winston-Salem, NC 27101 (25.9 mi) - MCAT Tutor - $35.50/hr.
I teach by completely explaining the idea, challenging the student, and addressing weaknesses or gaps in understanding. I feel that I can simplify complex concepts and explain them clearly, whether the question is thermodynamics, macroeconomics, or multiplication. Anyone can understand a difficult topic or answer challenging problem with the proper coaching, practice, and persistence. I am patient and understanding but resilient and dedicated. The challenges of tutoring a child with autism have reinforced these qualities and helped me learn to come up with alternate approaches and be patient at apparent roadblocks. I wish to use the knowledge that I have worked hard to gain helping other students comprehend difficult yet important ideas. I recently graduated from Wake Forest University with a biology major and minors in economics and philosophy. In completing the premedical requirements

Thomas P - Winston-Salem, NC 27106 (30.1 mi) - MCAT Tutor - $42.50/hr.
As seen from above, I have valid tutoring experience in both middle grades and HS. I was in the student teaching program at Wake Forest and upon graduation, I was a substitute teacher in the Winston-Salem, Forsyth County School system. I also participated in the Junior Achievement program in the Piedmont NC region for over 5 years. I am currently a tutor with the "No Child Left Behind Program." I am a disciplinarian. I have an excellent ability to gain a students attention, keep it and the results of my students have been well above average. I have a knack to bring into the classroom, outside events (latest ball games, Olympics, etc.) to establish a 'bond' between myself and the student. This allows me to gain their confidence as well as not create a bored atmosphere. I find this very important, especially with the more difficult students.

Michael H - Durham, NC 27713 (39 mi) - MCAT Tutor - $40.00/hr.
My teaching style is a mixture of direct instruction and discovery based learning whose components depend on the student(s) at hand. I've been known to make generalized lesson plans and improvise as I go, because every class is different, and too strict of a plan is destructive and boring for the students. Students typically need things explained to them in many different ways to garner a solid understanding of any topic, but especially upper level math and physics. Therefore, I pride myself on using any props, explanations, or examples that I can come up with to get the point across. At the same time, I tailor each lesson to the speed of the student(s) and the time constraints of the situation, varying the amount of direct vs. discovery learning accordingly, and making sure that the lines of communication between myself and the student are wide open so I can continually assess their
