I have over 18 years experience as a teacher and a tutor, working with ages 5 through adult, both in the U.S. and in Central America. My areas of expertise are Spanish and reading, especially remedial reading. My most significant experience includes the following positions: 1) 2 years as a teacher in Costa Rica, teaching language arts, ESL, math, and social studies at the 7th - 9th grade level, and adult basic literacy; 2) 4 years with Oakland, CA public schools as a dual-immersion bilingual classroom teacher, grades K-3, usually teaching 2 - 3 grades at the same time; 3) 2 years as a community college developmental reading teacher; and 4) 6 years as a Spanish teacher, ages 5 - adult, for homeschool groups in MD and KY. I begin by establishing rapport with the student, and usually I prefer a lighthearted, encouraging style of interaction. I believe every student is capable of le

Christa K - Louisville, KY 40208 (42.8 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I have been a playwright for the last ten years, which is why I chose to get my BA in writing. Being involved in extensive reading and writing programs in and out of school has given me a deep appreciation for words. Over the course of my education, I was fortunate enough to tutor several young students struggling with reading and writing, as well as weekly creative writing workshops with elementary students. The satisfaction that comes from working with a student, one on one, who is struggling, and seeing them change from angry and insecure to confident and proud is immense. I haven't found it anywhere else. As a teacher, my initial goal is to discover how to facilitate the individual learning styles of my students. I strive to instill a confidence that will lead to a willing and open mind conducive to further learning.

Chris K - Louisville, KY 40205 (42.9 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I am a dynamic and charismatic teacher who thrives in small group settings. I inject real world examples and allusions while I thoroughly discuss the basics of all skills. I love to learn, to discuss, to research and to find answers to questions, and this passion allows me to provide a pathway for students to learn to their fullest potential. I try to make learning fun, exciting and full of life, as this is the way I see it. As a former high school English teacher, I had the honor of working with student from the 9th to the 12th grade, as well as covering all major areas: composition, literature, spelling, vocabulary and everything else in between. In addition, my advanced schooling and training have given me a wife array of teachable skills - everything from test prep to basic reading skills to a strong background in history.

Melissa R - Lexington, KY 45056 (43.5 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $35.50/hr.
My experience in tutoring has shown me that everyone learns differently. Some students benefit from closely studying the textbook in a course, whereas others became easily overwhelmed reading large amounts of text and instead required a more interactive learning atmosphere based on discourse. I learned to identify a student's learning style and adapt my strategies to match that style. In general, I realized it was important to emphasize the main ideas of course material. A common struggle for many students is extracting central principles amidst several fine details. Teaching students strategies for identifying main points was a frequent goal of my tutoring sessions with students. I attained two Bachelor of Arts degrees, one in Psychology and the other in Linguistics. Due to my education in the social sciences I have developed a vast knowledge of the mechanics of writing, which is partic

Alexander V - Frankfort, KY 40601 (44.8 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $34.50/hr.
As a former academic scholarship student at Western Kentucky University, I have a keen understanding of what it takes to succeed at the highest level even under immense stress. Learning mathematics generally requires assistance from outside sources as it is not the easiest subject to understand. In the past, I tutored other college students with LDS in Math and German. I am very comfortable with all the major foundations of Chemistry including General, Organic, and Physical Chemistry. This includes both theoretical and lab work. I am also well versed in the English language, History, and Drama. I work best with individuals who are self-motivated and determined to succeed. I am the kind of teacher who responds to questions with questions. I understand that a lot of students are just looking for a sufficient answer, but this will not help them understand the material when they are required
