Jasmine W - Goodlettsville, TN 37072 (1.2 mi) - Sociology Tutor - $34.00/hr.
My style of teaching is one that strives to bring an overall understanding of the importance and relevance of the subject at hand. I believe children, as well as all people, learn much better and have much greater retention when they understand the bigger picture involved and understand why it is important to learn the subject at hand. I believe in relating the topics to something the pupil can understand and therefore grasp. One of my greatest teachers was a chemistry professor who was able to explain a complicated chemistry concept in terms of a McDonald's Happy Meal. It was something we all could relate to and understand. Furthermore, if I can relate why learning the particular topic is important, then I believe the child will become excited and be much more apt to retain and retell the information to others. That is my ultimate goal; I want to get children of all ages excited a

Susan M - Madison, TN 37115 (9.1 mi) - Sociology Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I try to communicate concepts in a simple and organized way and provide "shortcuts" whenever possible. I also try to keep in mind my own feelings and experiences as a learner of a foreign language (for me, Japanese). This helps me to be patient and understanding of the pressures and difficulties my students face. I use my own experiences as examples when trying to illustrate a point and give advice as a friend would. Hopefully this injects some humor and reality into my classes. I think I have taken my cues from the Japanese kindergarten teacher model, which is that of a big sister. I take responsibility for my students and serve as their role model; I am understanding and patient. I care about the progress of my students because in a sense they are my family and reflect back on me. I began working as an English teacher 6 years ago, when I was living in Japan. I had originally moved to J

Gretchen R - Nashville, TN 37216 (11 mi) - Sociology Tutor - $38.50/hr.
Growing up with more than five teachers in my family, I have always had a deep understanding of the importance of education and a drive to teach others. I recieved my Bachelor's in English from the University of Southern Indiana with the intention of completing a Masters and becomming an instructor at the college level. However, upon completion of my Bachelors, I immediately began teaching at Nashville State Community College as an adjunct english instructor. I then made a transition to tutoring grades K-12 for the No Child Left Behind Program. I have enjoyed working in this capacity for the program ever since I started tutoring five years ago. The greatest benefit of teaching, to me, is seeing the look in a child's eyes when he or she finally reaches that understanding of what you are teaching them. The challenge of finding a new way to help a child reach this understanding is what

Jennifer D - Nashville, TN 37207 (12.1 mi) - Sociology Tutor - $32.50/hr.
I have worked with children at all different ages, as well as children with largely varying developmental levels. I believe that encouraging children when they do well is absolutely necessary to effective learning. I also learn each child's disposition so that I can develop effective ways to redirect when they are not on the right path. I wholeheartedly believe that to get the respect that comes with a child trusting me enough to learn from me, I must show 100% respect to that child; it is an even exchange. I truly care about children, their well-being, and their futures and I know that when I interact with children, they recognize my sincerity and are therefore able to trust, and learn. I have a strong desire to continue utilizing my critical and inferential thinking skills, interpersonal communication skills (oral and written), comprehensive scope of clinical skills, and knowledge o

Shondra G - Nashville, TN 37208 (13.5 mi) - Sociology Tutor - $36.50/hr.
All children grasp concepts in different ways and from different methods. I have gained experience on how to pin point a child's learning style and have learned how to become more effective by teaching at a child's pace and level of understanding. So, my teaching style is dependant upon the child's learning style. My goal is always to get comprehension from the student, by any way that best works for that student. I strive to gain fulfillment from getting through to a student, and educating them. Being a Chemistry major, I have exceptional knowledge in Science and Math. I have worked with children from Elementary to High School. I have tutored/taught highly intelligent children and some resource students. Working as a substitute teacher, I developed many techniques and strategies to get children to understand. While working at a Youth Development Center, I engaged with teenage girls w

Charles B - Nashville, TN 37206 (13.8 mi) - Sociology Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I love helping others find their potential. I have helped tutor various kids while I studied in the USA and abroad in Mexico and Scotland. I am patient, a good listener first and foremost, and very understanding to those I am helping as I know that everyone may not learn the exact same way as myself or others they have been taught by before. Basically, I love to help other people find their own learning niche and apply their skills to learn more about their classes and their creative potential in general. I have worked many years with kids throughout grades K-college seniors with their general studies, English reading and writing classes, and basic Spanish work as well. I have worked over 2 years with AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps NCCC programs to help kids excel in their academic and life-learning journeys. I have been a successful tutor for kids while in their natural learning setting

Jonathon A - Nashville, TN 37206 (14 mi) - Sociology Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I have had the opportunity to work and help develop young minds for a few years. After college, I tutored full time at a high performing urban charter school where I worked on basic remedial skills with students. I have continued to work with young people to build confidence in their skills and improve their performance in school and on tests. I have tutored students from 5th grade through 12th grade, focusing mostly on math all the way to calculus and English. I believe that the most important characteristic that a teacher must have is consistency. The teacher must develop a system of rigorous work with ample support. I believe that it is imperative to possess an in-depth knowledge of the subject which one teaches, not just be a few pages ahead in the book. In order to achieve this high level, I prepare meticulously for each session, reach the student on his or her level and help guide

Constanzia H - Nashville, TN 37209 (15.7 mi) - Sociology Tutor - $32.00/hr.
Teaching is a very holistic activity. I spent the last year and a half working with at-risk kids in a wilderness setting as a Counselor/Teacher. Essentially, I had 8-10 home-schooled children under my care in a therapeutic environment set up for experiential education. I quickly discovered that it is very hard to teach children without first understanding them as individuals. My goal as a tutor was and is not simply the transference of information but also the transference of self-confidence to children that, if cultivated, will last a lifetime and enable children to tackle any educational or life obstacle. My college education was very self driven and self propelled. I received three academic scholarships throughout my college career and maintained a 3.84 GPA for the entire four years. At the close of my four years, I earned a BS is History, giving me a particularly good foundation in t

Princess W - Hermitage, TN 37076 (15.7 mi) - Sociology Tutor - $41.50/hr.
I am a graduate of Wake Forest University with a BS in Biology. I am also highly knowledgeable in Chemistry. My education at Wake Forest gave me the opportunity to develop great writing skills. I am highly proficient in writing and speaking. I also read French very well. I have develped great skills as a reader evaluator of student's papers through my job. I have also tutored for the past 5 years at both the college and middle school levels in the sciences and arts. I tutored in Biology, Human Anatomy and Physiology, Math, French, Reading, Writing, and Chemistry. One of my greatest pleasures in life has been the opportunity to teach my children after school, help them with their home work, and teach them how to develop lifelong good study habits. I started a volunteer home work help resource in my home when I lived in North Carolina. It gives me great pleasure and a sense of prid

Nathaniel S - Nashville, TN 37212 (16 mi) - Sociology Tutor - $34.00/hr.
Because I have an extensive background in Psychology, I have a strong understanding of the learning process, as well as many other factors that affect it. I focus on each individual child's strengths and use that to bring their weaknesses up to a higher level. Through patience and encouragement, I believe that most children can experience dramatic improvements in their abilities. I am able to explain complex ideas clearly, in simple terms that are understandable. Then I expand on what the child already understands until they have mastered the more advanced concepts. I greatly enjoy the excitement, challenge, and reward of enriching a child's life through education. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Southern Illinois University. This gives me a broad knowledge base in many educational arenas. I have tutoring experience with the program "Second Chance Saturdays" for high

Nicole A - Nashville, TN 37205 (16.1 mi) - Sociology Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I have a passion for children and a love for education. I strongly believe that every individual has a learning method that works best for them. I hope to help each child find their unique learning style that will allow them to excel in their education. One-on-one attention can make a world of a difference, by removing the distractions found within a classroom. Additionally, I firmly believe that learning should be fun and stimulating for the children. My teaching style strongly incorporates both individual learning styles and creative fun ideas for learning. During my years as an undergraduate student, I tutored middle school students in math for a program called America Counts. I have earned a bachelor's degree in Psychology, with a 3.8 GPA. My degree provided me with a wide range of coursework that allowed me to gain a vast amount of knowledge in math and science; algebra II, biology,

Flournoy P - Nashville, TN 37209 (16.8 mi) - Sociology Tutor - $36.00/hr.
Most high school students don't get the chance to teach their own geometry classes. With our teacher in the back of class, I lectured from the book, guided my peers’ board work, and answered their questions. Since then I have incorporated training and education in everything that I do. As a manger in two very different industries, I succeeded in delivering exceptional production and service by training my teams and giving them opportunities to become accountable for their performances. While a graduate sociology student, I jumped at the special invitation to adjunct for a semester in addition to my teaching assistant duties and found it to be even more rewarding than I imagined. During both of my graduate programs, I found that guiding study sessions and offering a variety of tutoring assistance and training (such as three languages, history, philosophy, fitness) became central to my suc
