Statement of Teaching Philosophy
As a student, I have observed that the best teachers were those who cared the most about teaching. This passion is one of the single most important components of effective teaching as it leads to thorough preparation, continuous evolution of teaching skills, and the pleasure of watching students learn. The amount of time that a teacher puts into preparation directly translates to how the students learn. However, a teacher must be able to recognize how students learn best at the group and individual level, and let their lesson plans metamorphose as they interact with their students. The ultimate goal for the teacher is to communicate new information to students, not just memorizing facts, but also to learn how to think. This process can be made more efficient when both the teacher and the students enjoy what they are covering. Combined, these aspects all

SONYA G. - Saint Louis, MO 63146 (8.8 mi) - ACT Tutor - $30.00/hr.
I can teach in one-on-one or in a group. I am an educator who has taught for over 15 years in the public, private and college environments. My passion for education esteem over many years helping others to achieve the goals they have for themselves. I am patient, dedicated and a hard worker when it comes to education! My passion goes beyond just helping someone earn their degree or GED, but helping them to believe in themselves and being strong leaders. Anything is possible but you must believe in yourself if it is to become reality.

Anne Marie M. - Florissant, MO 63031 (11.4 mi) - ACT Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I listen intently to what students ask to decipher their level of understanding. I wish for the students to truely understand and not merely mimic. Math is thinking. Too often I see people who at first are struggling with math treating it as a mimicing subject. Some repetitive practice is needed, but understanding prior to the repetition is better. I have been teaching since I started college. I taught in the tutoring center at SIUE as a freshman. Since then I have taught a wide variety of classes at Lewis and Clark Community College and St. Louis Community College. I also have had students that I have tutored for many years until they moved off to college. Even then I sometimes was called for tutoring when they were back home. I also have helped with middle and high school math contest teams

Taylor D. - Saint Louis, MO 63124 (14 mi) - ACT Tutor - $42.50/hr.
I graduated from Princeton University with a BA (cum laude) in History and will be starting a Ph.D. program in History in the fall. I served as a tutor at the middle school level during my college years and have worked with High School students on History, English and ACT/SAT prep for the past year.I have also served in various other academically-related positions, including as a research assistant and library assistant. I like to nurture my students without enabling them. I tend to ask my students pointed questions about the subject at hand to inspire critical thinking and push them to arrive at their own interpretation of the correct answer. I feel that this best prepares them for college-level work.

George PhD S. - Fenton, MO 63026 (17.9 mi) - ACT Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I'm PhD physicist with more than 20 years of tutoring experience at all possible levels and with variety of students ranging from gifted kids of elementary school to PhD students of Wash Uni as well as active tutors themselves.<><><><>
I'm really patient (even with my own kids!) and start with putting myself in my student's shoes. I'm using variety of tools to deliver knowledge: verbal, visual, graphical, math formulas, examples from everyday life!
From my point of view there is no concept or problem which cannot be approached by anyone with any experience at least to some extent. Sure that might take some time and efforts but that's it. Sounds too weird? But I can tell you that there is a way to explain Big Bang or String Theory (some advanced theories in Physics) or Topology (Advanced Math) to elementary school students ... and I've done something similar or even got grant for thi

Caleb K - Saint Peters, MO 63376 (2.1 mi) - ACT Tutor - $34.00/hr.
I believe that every student can meet his or her potential provided that the subject matter is presented in a way that makes sense to them and that any material can be related through the right medium. I do not adhere to any particular teaching method; rather I adapt to the student and his or her individual learning style. I know from personal experience that the right educator does make a lifelong impact on a student’s academic, personal and professional success. My first teaching experience was as a high school senior where I was given the opportunity to teach a small group of 5th graders as part of the Missouri A+ program. We began with division, quickly moving into linear and nonlinear algebra, before touching on the fundamentals of complex numbers, graph theory and trigonometry, before concluding with a derivation of the quadratic formula and its applications. I spent three seme

Mark D - Saint Charles, MO 63301 (3.4 mi) - ACT Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I fit my teaching style to the student's learning style. I try to follow the model of my physics advisor, who has an excellent ability to figure out how a student learns best, then adapt his teaching and explanations accordingly. Students are often closer to understanding than they realize, and a different presentation can make a huge difference.
I work to improve weak areas and capitalize on strengths for each student. I keep things relaxed, but focused; and I make sure to work through the material with my students, moving on when they are ready. As we are working, I also help them with note-taking and study skills. I have just graduated from the University of Tulsa with B.S. in Physics and a B.A. in Music. This dual-degree program has given me a strong background in math and the sciences as well as liberal arts and especially writing, which was required in both fields. I have

Stephen R - Ofallon, MO 63368 (6.3 mi) - ACT Tutor - $34.50/hr.
I really enjoy tutoring. I love watching the students gain confidence as we work through the problems. I believe my attitude and approach to teaching helps the students. I provide enough understanding to the students but still challenge them. The worst thing you can do, is just give the answers. I believe everyone wants to learn and do their best, but it is hard when you do not understand what you are trying to do. I enjoy providing that one on one attention to open their minds and show them they can do it. I have always wanted to teach Math and Science. I have volunteered tutored on and off for five years for friends and family. I have a BS in Chemistry and have worked as a Chemist for 13 years. I currently am working as an accountant. I enjoy formulas and showing my students how everything comes togeher. Most people find Math frustrating and I enjoy showing them a different

Rhonda B - O FALLON, MO 63368 (6.9 mi) - ACT Tutor - $38.50/hr.
Some students remember best what they see, some what they hear, but nearly all will best recall material that they see hear say and do something with. My teaching style is one that tries to incorporate seeing, hearing, saying, and doing and getting students to use higher order thinking skills as much as I can. More than just rote memory and recall, I want then to be able to apply acquired knowledge to solve problems or create new ideas based on their previous learning. I have worked in both the public and private school settings and have 20 years teaching experience. I enjoy the most the opportunity to work with a child individually because that direct time and attention often makes it easier to assess areas of weakness and how best to adapt instruction to the learner's needs and learning style. One of my most cherished teaching positions was at the Arkansas School for Mathematics an

Sara F - Chesterfield, MO 63017 (8.1 mi) - ACT Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I am passionate about literature, writing, and proper grammar, but I also have a strong grounding in pop culture, which helps, I think, to make the subject matter relevant and engaging. I am patient and skilled at explaining difficult subjects in a way that I feel a student can understand and I believe that humor is a very important tool in making learning an enjoyable experience. Some of my favorite and most effective teachers were among the funniest people I know and that serves as an inspiration for my own teaching style. I graduated from Columbia University with a BA in English and political science and spent the four years following graduation working on the communications team for Mayor Michael Bloomberg in New York City. In that capacity I supervised a staff of five full time employees and a variable number of interns. That experience was helpful in terms of learning to teach and

Joni L - Maryland Heights, MO 63043 (8.2 mi) - ACT Tutor - $36.50/hr.
Throughout my school experience, I have been a top performer. I attended a "gifted" program in elementary school. I was the Valedictorian at Hagerstown Junior/Senior High School in Hagerstown, Indiana. I received a full-tuition scholarship to the University of Evansville in Evansville, Indiana. There, I majored in Economics and was a tutor for Micro- and Macroeconomics students my junior and senior years. My economics degree gave me a broad understanding of mathematics (I took Statistics and Calculus I-III), but also gave me experience in technical writing. Beyond this, I also have gained excellent English skills through my newspaper experiences in high school, college and during a summer internship. Lastly, I obtained a minor in French and am a proficient reader/writer/speaker.
In addition to my college experiences, I also currently volunteer with Junior Achievement. For two se

Caroline T - Chesterfield, MO 63005 (8.3 mi) - ACT Tutor - $38.00/hr.
Most of my teaching experience has come through the various assistantships I had at Wheaton College. These involved a wide range of tasks, from tutoring to leading discussions to conducting extensive research. I have been able to sharpen the skills I developed as an undergraduate through my studies and teaching opportunities at Notre Dame. Not only that, I have witnessed the art of pedagogy reach a level of excellence I had never thought possible. These first-rate professors combine raw intellectual power with gentleness, jocularity and humility, and while I am on leave this year from the program, I would be proud to help students in even a fraction of the way these individuals have helped me. Excellence in teaching, I believe, depends less on method and more on the character of the teacher. Since a student is a human being before he or she assumes the role of the learner, it is incumben
