Laura P - Asheville, NC 28803 (0.3 mi) - Painting Tutor - $42.00/hr.
I understand that any child can run into problems with schoolwork. I try to find out why the child is having a problem before trying to help them. Did he miss something and fall behind? Is she simply bored with the subject? The approach I take with the child depends on the answers to these questions. I feel it is important for the learner to understand that there is a reason for making the effort to learn each subject. In math, I like to assign the numbers and equations to subjects the learner likes, such as pizza, sports or music, for example. I also find it is beneficial to make references to the different careers one might use the knowledge learned in the child's classes. I am a mother of 3 children who are all very successful students. My eldest will graduate a semester early from college this month. My middle child is a junior in college and my youngest child is a senior in hi

Melanie V - Asheville, NC 28803 (1.3 mi) - Painting Tutor - $35.50/hr.
The last six years I have taught using a most effective multi-sensory method of instruction for children with language-based differences, both as a full-time teacher and a part-time tutor.
I possess excellent communication, computer, organizational, and teaching skills.
I’ve taught in a variety of situations from elementary to high school levels in both private and public school settings. I have tutored in an after-school reading clinic, as well as in home settings. I've held social work positions working with children considered “at risk,” educationally and/or behaviorally. The visual-auditory-kinesthetic or VAK method of instruction is a hands-on, child-involved method that reaches students with all types of learning needs. It is my primary teaching strategy utilized.
I find it important to match reading material,(utilizing both student ability and interest levels,)to promote max

Jennifer J - Asheville, NC 28803 (3.9 mi) - Painting Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I am a Spanish speaker and try very hard to create positive relationships with the Hispanic population at the schools in which I have worked. I am an enthusiastic creative teacher. I truly love teaching. I know that this was my calling in life. I am passionate about helping students become excited about their education and developing a positive sense of self. I believe that a well-balanced education can influence all aspects of a child’s life. This belief drives me to work diligently at helping all of my students become well-educated, productive members of society. I have been a public school teacher for seven years. I taught for four years at a middle school and three years at the elementary school level. I have a highly qualified license in the three following areas: Elementary Education, English as a Second Language K-12 and English 6-9. I will receive a Master’s degree in Teachi

Sabrina B - Fletcher, NC 28732 (6.1 mi) - Painting Tutor - $37.00/hr.
Having taught high school in both affluent and underprivileged areas I strive to make sure that every student has a positive learning experience. My degree is a BS in Communication/Business with a minor in education. Language has always been my first love and I continue to take classes related to this field. The past few years I have worked in sales but I continue to tutor. My philosophy has always been, "make it interesting and they will learn." However, what is interesting to you and I may not be interesting to the next person. Therefore, I listen to the child and figure out their learning style and interests. Only then can I properly teach and know they understand the subject matter. It is always exciting to see a Childs face when something clicks and they have that, "I understand what she is talking about moment."

Robert G - Asheville, NC 28801 (6.1 mi) - Painting Tutor - $38.00/hr.
Having a clear set of expectations for students establishes a good learning environment. When a student has a goal to strive towards, borders are established and the spontaneity of my teaching style serves to keep my lessons lively. From my experience as an apprentice and from
my tendency towards the hand made, I try to use physical examples as I teach in an effort to help a student retain information. Through experience we learn and I feel it is always important for a student to be encouraged to desire learning as a life long goal. Studying art has made me a keen observer of both the the human condition and the world that surrounds us. There is a complexity in this experience that involves aesthetic decision making, technical applications of craft and an underlying philosophy that serves to communicate my ideas. Much of my knowledge comes from hands on learning and through apprentices

Betsy C - Asheville, NC 28806 (6.2 mi) - Painting Tutor - $38.00/hr.
Since I am an artist, I naturally try to teach in a way that honors intuitive ways of learning. I believe that students can often sense the correct way to do a math or writing problem and should be encouraged to trust their own intelligence. Everyone has his/her own way to get at a particular problem. I think the key to understanding many learning difficulties is respecting the child's own processes. I elected to homeschool my three children who are now teenagers; thus I have many years of one-on-one teaching experience. I feel that some children need to be away from the stresses sometimes experienced at school in order to discover their academic gifts. An individual tutor has the luxury to get to know the student, see thier potential, and cheer them on in a way that a classroom teacher may not have the time to do. In our homeschool we have used a variety of curriculums which have mo

Katie C - Asheville, NC 70115 (6.5 mi) - Painting Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I strongly believe in allowing the student to learn through their own will and with their own techniques, I try to just be the vessel that allows them to get to this point. I have worked in Montessori type schools where learning is a self-discovery and a journey. I try to find a way to make the subject interesting in a specific way for the student to allow them to want to learn, and getting excited about succeeding. I studied Art History at Florida State University, which required a number of essay and extensive seminar classes, which taught me different ways to complete 10-20 page papers. I have worked teaching children in many different environments, in a preschool, Boys and Girls club, and at their homes. I have worked with children all ages from one to fifteen, with language and basic math skills.

John M - Hendersonville, NC 28791 (7 mi) - Painting Tutor - $49.50/hr.
I absolutely enjoy working with students of all ages. I place a high value on education because there is no replacement for this key component in a student’s quest for success. I have several years experience as a volunteer coach and understand all too well the delicate balance that exists between teaching, encouragement and constructive analysis. I am a hands-on teacher and firmly believe that clear instructions unified with connected repetition are vital for material comprehension. All students can not only meet, but exceed their academic expectations when given the right tools combined with positive reinforcement I have earned two bachelor degrees, a BS in Information Science and a BA in Political Science.

Jonathan M - Asheville, NC 28806 (7.3 mi) - Painting Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I strongly believe that the success of education depends on how well it targets a student's learning style and values. Everyone can learn, but individual attention is a vital part of that. We don't all learn the same way or at the same speed, and these differences should be addressed in a positive and creative way to both convey the subject material and strengthen a student's ability to learn in the future. I received my B.A. in English from Appalachian State University where I also received training in education. Afterward, I became an instructor at Richmond Community College, teaching basic reading and math to adults with learning disabilities as well as a course on PC literacy & business training. In addition to classroom instruction, I've had one-on-one experience tutoring university students in English and Learning Skills.

Throughout my graduate studies I have thrived in the studio. I have also gained experience teaching at a college level. My studies in undergraduate and graduate school have led me to my ultimate goal of being an art educator. Some skills I have learned include classroom management, building of syllabi, grading, creating valuable assignments, as well as proctoring exams. My passion lies within fine art and I am very privileged to have had such a wonderful education. A teaching philosophy that I subscribe to is that the best way of learning is through experience. My assignments are designed to help students explore their creativity as well as teach valuable artistic principles upon completion. I am very well aware that different students have different learning styles. This is why my assignments are multi faceted and contain a variety of approaches.
