Jodi I. - San Antonio, TX 78230 (5.5 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I tend to be really flexible and try to adapt my teaching style to the learning style of the student. For students who tend to be more tactile, I might have them handle apples if a math problem references apples. If a student is working on a writing assignment, I will offer suggestions (such as marking spelling/grammar/punction mistakes) and help them learn how to correct the errors so they won't continue to make the same errors in the future.

Jimmy S. - Schertz, TX 78154 (12.8 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $35.00/hr.
My first job was writing for the local newspaper as a journalist and photographer for the local newspaper in my hometown of Santa Fe. A lot of what I did for The Santa Fe New Mexican I use on a regular basis to improve on my writing style, my skills, grammar and creativity to allow the reader to become aware of what they're reading. My first job right after turning 16 was working as a photographer and journalist for the local newspaper in my hometown. My main job was working with the teen section; GeneratioNext asking questions, taking polls, and writing articles that were teen related to teen issues, college and continuing education, and career goals. Throughout my junior high school and high school years I worked closely with the editor of the school newspaper as a writer, and with the yearbook committee taking classes in journalism and photography.

Kathleen R - San Antonio, TX 78201 (1.4 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I was graduated from the St Louis 4-year Liberal Arts high school, St Joseph's Academy, after which I spent many years in Australia. All my tertiary and teacher's credentials are from Australia, which maintains the British-style of tertiary education. My credentials qualified me to be fully employed as a professional secondary school teacher and then as an adult ESL teacher for over 10 years. As a self-employed teacher, I taught in several language schools in Australia and recently conducted classes in Business English and Presentation Skills in Chile to corporate executives and managers. I am of the generation which studied English grammar and spelling, skills much appreciated by ambitious international and native-speaking students. As a professional teacher, I see my role as a facilitating educator, supporting adult students in what they need and want to know and learn. It is the teach

Erica M - San Antonio, TX 78212 (1.4 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $59.50/hr.
I design the lesson to the learning preference of the student. I incorporate technology, visual, tactile and kinesthetic teaching styles. This gives the student the maximum opportunity to learn. If a student is having trouble with reading comprehension there are various skill sets a child learns in order to help with standardized tests. I have experience in that area. An understanding of literary elements can also enhance a child's understanding of literature and reading. The ultimate goal is for the child to be able to read for gaining information, but also understanding of the world and experiences around them and from other people. In my last three years of teaching I was the Inclusion/Resource teacher, however, I also worked with some Life-Skills students, as well as doing some 4th grade co-teaching. I am comfortable in working with at-risk students and understand the importa

Amanda W - San Antonio, TX 78213 (2.5 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $37.00/hr.
In my experience as a tutor, I have acquired the highly important skill of adaptability. Certainly, particular techniques and strategies such as asking provocative questions are helpful with any student of any age. More importantly, though, I have learned that the best tutors are those who can shape each session to the tutee's individual needs and personality. This is most easily accomplished in developing a flexible approach constituted by a blend of directive and non-directive tactics. With this approach, my goal is always to aid the tutee in feeling comfortable and confident in developing new ways of thinking about his or her work, and, from there, helping him or her along the journey to success. In 2008, as an upper-level English major, I accepted a position with Schreiner University wherein I hoped to use my education in the concentration of composition. For the rest of my college

Lanelle C - San Antonio, TX 78233 (7.1 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $40.50/hr.
I love the English language with its nuances, beauty, and precision of meaning. I taught in public schools for a number of years as a substitute, then returned to the university to study teaching of art, finally achieving a Master's Degree in English (All A's), with certifications to teach both subjects. I have helped a number of adults to improve their writing, have edited and proofread others' works. I wrote a number of monographs for scholarly conferences and taught Freshman and Sophomore English at Texas State University for eleven years because I love teaching, tutoring, and writing. I have been teaching part time in a local school district. I am a "Renaissance woman" with many interests. Depending on who I am teaching and what topic, I firmly but gently involve the students in the areas where they need help. I motivate them to a greater interest, therefore a more satisfactory

My teaching credentials are in
English and education. However...
At the middle school level and
high school level, I have
taught/tutored English composition,
geography, history, social studies,
government, economics, and computer
applications.
At the college and adult level,
I have taught/tutored English
composition, oral communications
(public speaking and debate),
business and business
administration, resume writing,
advanced computer applications
(Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and the
Open Office Suite).
Having been CEO of a corporation
in the public arena, do not expect
me to be your normal indoctrinated
politically correct public school
teacher or college professor.
Judge me by the results. Whether it is in front of a class
of 40 or one-on-one, I have been
endowed not only with the talent
to teach, but also with the
God-given ability to motivate.

Justin T - Helotes, TX 78023 (10.3 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $39.50/hr.
My missionary experiences informed me of one idea: people are important and they have to be considered person-by-person. Those experiences have led me to take a teaching philosophy and teaching practice that is person-centric. I work to understand the rhetorics, theories, practices, and experiences that inform each student and the classroom as a whole. In practice, this manifests in extensive talking and co-writing (on daily assignments) to assess where exactly these students are at and how I can help them. I believe that each student, each individual, has the desire and capacity to learn, so I am constantly working to demystify composition so they can truly see how language can inform them and make their lives better. Applicable to this job, I remember my high school years and the processes I had during my English and Composition assignments. I completed an English Bachelor’s degree, wi
