Alexandra F. - Cordova, TN 38016 (33.9 mi) - English Tutor - $22.50/hr.
I took both AP Language and Composition and AP Literature and Composition and was able to keep an A average in both courses. I believe a hands on approach to teaching a subject is the best way for a child to succeed. I believe that flashcards as well as games help younger children succeed in mastering a subject. Making a subject fun is key to helping a child tackle a tough subject. For older kids, practice tests are very helpful as well as flashcards. Encouragement and support is also an important part of mastery. I have been a volunteer tutor at a local elementary school during their aftercare program. I have also been a mentor through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Memphis to a first grader who had trouble with math (adding,subtracting, and multiplication). I have also helped fellow peers study for tests and the Reading and English sections of the ACT.

Rachel C. - Cordova, TN 38016 (33.9 mi) - English Tutor - $32.50/hr.
In both undergraduate and graduate school, I worked as a Writing/English tutor at the colleges. I tutored college, masters, and doctorate students in English, Writing, and Grammar. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Writing in 2008 and am graduating this May (2012) with a Master's Degree in Journalism. I worked as a English, Writing, and Grammar Tutor for two years at both my college and graduate school. I have had experience tutoring and writing a variety of styles and genres including creative writing, non-fiction, editorials, poetry, blogs, press releases, and feature articles. Instead of telling the student the correct answer, I prefer to help them understand why the answer is correct. With writing, there can be better ways to word a sentence or rearrange a paragraph and I try to help them figure this out on their own. That way, the next time they run into a similar issue, they remem

Jelisa L. - Memphis, TN 38107 (37.7 mi) - English Tutor - $25.00/hr.
My teaching style is dependent upon the student's learning ability. Typically I am a hands on teacher and enjoy using as many visuals as possible. Hello everyone! I would like to think that I'm an all around person, willing to work in many fields. Although most of my educational background is geared towards Psychology, I have plenty of experience with other subjects; the Psychology of learning aids me in being capable to work with other subjects. My past occupational experiences include being a reading tutor for the Memphis Literacy Corps, the Elementary Education Coordinator and Self-Esteem Instructor at Youth Visions, Inc., a youth advisor at St. Paul M.B.C., an actress appearing in several different presentations that include commercials, and being enrolled in a Master's program; I will complete my Master's degree in August 2013.

Will R. - Memphis, TN 38112 (38.6 mi) - English Tutor - $15.00/hr.
I am a junior English major and Religious Studies minor at Rhodes College. I graduated from Harding Academy ('09), a school well known for its strong English department. The past two summers I have worked at Harding's summer camp as a counselor for first and second graders, so patience is definitely a trait that I have come to learn and appreciate. Being an English major, I am strong in areas concerning reading, writing, and grammar. Also, I play football for Rhodes College, and I try to display the work ethic I have learned on the field in all that I do. Reading and writing are, and have always been, enjoyable for me. However, I know that a lot of people do not feel the same way. My goal is to show students that if he or she can get past the miring details that oftentimes come with English, it can be pretty dang interesting. Since revealing the fun parts of English is my goal, I

Second undergrad degree in English I'm entering my final semester at the University of Memphis and I would like to offer my experience as a novelist to others that need help finalizing college essays, senior papers, or those interested in journalism and creative writing.

I have a passion for creative writing as well journalism and public speaking. I can help any student that needs help editing their papers for proper grammar, or needs an understanding of any form of literature from Shakespeare to Nikki Giovanni. I have a very interactive teaching style in which I want the student to ask me as many questions as possible. With literature how they interpret the material is just as important as mine. So, I hope to help the student express their vision of the mate

I have a total of 6 years experience in teaching. I have experience teaching in a private christian school setting, a public high risk school setting, as well as a public optional school setting. I have taught Kindergarten (all subjects) and 3rd grade (Math). I am certified to teach K-6 but am highly qualified by the state board of education to teach Language Arts and English up to grade 8. I am a teacher who believes that each student learns differently. I am known to mix traditional teaching with responsive classroom teaching. The responsive classroom is one where there is more engagement and is more student focused rather than teacher focused.
