Efleda B - Sutter Creek, CA 95685 (13.8 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $48.50/hr.
As the oldest of five children, my 15+ years of tutoring experience includes helping my siblings in their homework when we were growing up. I have also taught English for two years at a private Junior/Senior girls' high school in Kyoto, Japan; mentored the English Speaking Society for the high school students; and, more recently, trained three content editors at Intel, as well as developed training classes for HP.
Although I did well in math and science during my school years (my mother was a math and science teacher), I consider writing and English grammar my strengths.
Scholastically, I am proud of having been a four-year scholarship recipient and of finishing the technical writing certificate program with a 4.0 GPA. Because each student, young or old, responds to different learning stimuli (graphical or verbal) at diffrent rates, I always try to get to know my student first. I

William A - Valley Springs, CA 95252 (18.5 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $48.50/hr.
I have more than three decades of experience managing and working in marketing, PR, communications, the web, and media relations. In all of that work, I have always been the one "teaching people" how to use technology and computer, as well as how to write anc communicate. My passion, energy, drive, know-how, knowledge, inventiveness, and infectious optimism will all play a key role in me mentoring, teaching, and tutoring. What I like about helping people learn more and do better in communicating and expressing themselves is that it gives me a chance to "give back" all that I know in a special way. I teach people how to do things through a method of "learning by doing" with practical (and many times personal experience) exercises. Writing and communicating is a craft that anyone can do if they understand how to "map out" their thoughts and ideas in an outline and then "build from there" f

Timothy B - Galt, CA 95632 (37.1 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $48.50/hr.
Teaching children is a passion of mine. They soak in the knowledge like a sponge. I am patient, easy going, but also know the task at hand. I try to find the best way to teach that individual child. Every child learns in a different way. I seek to find that way. Since I learn best in a hands-on manner I try to teach that same way. I was taught at a early age to be the best I possibly could. I was taught to do my best. That has stuck with me all the way through college. I have earned a BS degree in Communication which has given me a knowledge of how to write effectively. I took an editing course which focused on the fundamentals of writing along with correct editing skills.
I have had the opportunity to teach individuals in their home while serving a church mission for two years. Also within my church I have taught children the doctrinal basics of the church.

My commitment to teaching spans thirty years. I consider myself a servant to this great republic. A mastery of the subject matter, enthusiasm, kindness, tenderness, and a belief in the dignity and ability of all children to learn, is my mantra. Encouragement must be present in the learning arena. I love children!!!!!! With thirty years experience in a variety of disciplines, I bring knowledge and enthusiasm to learning. I hold degrees in music, education and political science. I am an author of a book, NATIONAL SOCIALISM:THE GERMAN TRAGEDY. Currently, I teach music, tutor and edit a California magazine.I am available for proofreading, technical writing and editing.

Anthony Z - Granite Bay, CA 95746 (39.6 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $45.00/hr.
I love to teach, there is nothing more self rewarding then helping a person who is struggling to achieve something and helping them with their goals. I believe all students can find academic success somewhere if given the correct opportunities and surroundings. I firmly believe that I have been educated by some of the best and these educators have made a world of difference in my life and expectations. I would like to help students in the same way my educators helped me. As a college graduate, I was extremely driven to achieve a high level of academic excellence. I earned my bachelors degree in Communication Studies with a minor in Philosophy. These have enabled me to have an understanding of many areas of Language Arts, History, and English. As a Comm Studies major I was held to a high standard of technical writing with essay and would always use credible sources for my research.

Chad S - Auburn, CA 95603 (44.1 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $47.00/hr.
My commitment to education can be found very simply. At 28 years old, I decided to go back to college to complete my final two years of school. I attained my BA 3 years later, having had to work full time to support my wife and two young children. My goal is, at some point, to return to school to attain my teaching credential, so I can fulfill my dream of being an English teacher. Children are not students. They are not tools, nor are they pieces of a larger machine. They are people, impressionable and as important as the rest of the world. So, then, why would we expect everyone to learn the same? To teach a child in any discipline requires, in some cases, finesse, and an ability to adapt to their needs. That is what I bring to the table. I believe in a laid-back, friendly approach to tutoring, one where the student's needs are met before those of the classroom. After all, how

Jeff M - Meadow Vista, CA 95722 (46.7 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $44.50/hr.
as a graduate of San Jose State University I have a lot of pride in my command of the English language. I am a stickler for proper grammar and spelling in all of the correspondence that I send. I have produced a wide variety of effective communication projects over the years and continue to strive for perfection. I have mentored many assistants in the business and practice of communications and photography. Many of them have established their own studios throughout the state. My style of teaching starts with observations, questions and then active listening. With a valid agenda and skills assessment I can put an effective learning plan into place. I have a great deal of patience and continually seek to hone my teaching skills and be an inspirational mentor.

Amanda S - Auburn, CA 95602 (47.3 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $49.00/hr.
For the past 10 years, I have worked in my community, helping to better the lives of children. At age 15, I began mentoring young girls and volunteering for a non-profit organization, counseling developmentally delayed children and at-risk youth. I later went on to become a Behavioral Therapist, educating children with autism. My love for children (and passion for education) was the determining factor in the course of my college career. I attained a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Utah in 2008 (graduating with a cumulative GPA of 3.8). In addition to my Psychology degree, I also hold a certificate in Human Factors Engineering and recently published research in this field. As an educator, it is my job to recognize each child’s individual learning-style and adapt my teaching-style accordingly. I will build upon each child’s abilities and strengths, and work to improve upon his/he
