Elizabeth R - Gardnerville, NV 89410 (23.8 mi) - Earth Science Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I have taught preschool,elementary and adult students for the past 8 years. As a preschool teacher, I developed my own curriculum and taught 3 year olds. I also worked for four years as a elementary teacher for Douglas County School District, in which I was responsible for organizing and following state and district K-2 curriculum. More recently, I have been employed at Family Support Council of Douglas County to teach adults in a variety of classes. I designed my own parenting and support classes for adults. I love teaching and believe it is my calling in life. I do believe all children can learn, but in different ways.I look forward to teaching your child in a customized manner, which best meets their needs and learning style. My goal is to help all children reach their full potential, whatever that may be. I use a variety of techniques to help children reach their goals and keep mysel

Elizabeth J - Minden, NV 89423 (24.6 mi) - Earth Science Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I believe in the Democratic approach to Educating the young.
I start the year by asking the students what they would like to learn that year and we record this on a large sheet of paper.
Students feel happy to know their wishes are so considered and
then at the end of the year we review the list and they see that
they have covered everything they wanted to learn and much more.
I am seriously concerned with the self-esteem of each children and work to elevate this so that the children will be able to
grow and achieve the most that they can while in my class. I love children and I love teaching. My initial experience was as a 2nd grade teacher in the Milwaukee
Public Schools.(6years) I then moved to Ohio where I taught
for 4 years as a Learning and Behavior Disordered teacher.
I attended Kent State University and procured a Masters in
Counseling for the Elementary Children. I t

Elizabeth J - Minden, NV 89423 (24.6 mi) - Earth Science Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I believe that our children hold the future of our world in their
hands and hearts and for this reason I have a deep desire to
assist them in learning all of their subjects as well as they
can.
My approach is democratic in that I ask the child for his/her
input on what they like to study and learn too. Finding out
a childs loves is important for a teacher. An example is:
Going to the library to find books for students to read because it is something they enjoy as well as doing
their assigned class work.
I use a balanced, patient, kind approach with children. They
respond best to this attitude. I have been an elementary teacher for over 21 years in Wisconsin,
Ohio, Arizona, and recently in Reno, Nevada. I hold a Masters Degree in Counseling from Kent State and acquired this in order
to better serve the children in my classroom with their
needs.

Randy G - Carson City, NV 89703 (32.3 mi) - Earth Science Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I am a registered Professional Civil Engineer and have worked managing construction projects around the world. I am proficient in math and english and enjoy showing others how to improve their lives through education. Albeit I have not taught in a school system, I have taught my own three children in our own home school. I really like children and love seeing the light go on when they finally comprehend the area of study that has been troubling them. I want children to learn to think for themselves in problem solving, not just go through the steps to get to an answer. Learning can and should be fun.

Pamela T - Carson City, NV 89706 (32.5 mi) - Earth Science Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I love working with students. As a teacher I enjoy the learning process and love watching the students discover new concepts and ideas. As as school counsleor I assisted students in working at their emotional and challenging behaviors. In both positions I strongly believe each student has the potential to learn. I teach to the different learn styles of my students. When I was working as a secretary I knew I wanted to further my education. I returned to school and completed my bachelor of science in education. As a classroom teacher I realized the many problems my students had to deal with. This prompted my to complete my master in school counseling. I have attended several workshops throughout my career to enchance my teaching and counseling methods with Reading, Writing and Grammar for students of any age.

Adam F - South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150 (33.7 mi) - Earth Science Tutor - $40.50/hr.
I like to use the book as an outline of the material to be taught. Visual aids are very important to me. I believe pictures are worth a thousand words. I am very patient and great with communicating ideas to others. While a student, I was a teachers assistant in a chemistry lab at my college. During school, I spent numerous hours studying with large groups of students. Together we practiced methods for teaching our knowledge, this way everyone in the group understood the material.

Jason G - South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150 (34.3 mi) - Earth Science Tutor - $43.50/hr.
I enjoy working with kids and teaching the things that I have learned. I am confident that I can make concepts as simple as possible, so people who usually have trouble understanding ideas in math and science may have a breakthough. Coming from a very competitive school like UCLA I have acquired skills in test taking which are very valuable and I would like to pass these on to prospective college students. As a Biology student at both Saddleback and the ultra competitive UCLA, I was able to achieve high marks in all of the core cirriculum. Subjects I am very familar with are physics, chemistry, math up to 1st semester calculus, biology and biochem.I also recieved an A in every english class I have ever attended. I have experience tutoring at Saddleback Community College in Mission Viejo Ca., mostly in math.

Matt S - Incline Village, NV 89450 (43 mi) - Earth Science Tutor - $38.50/hr.
Born and raised in upstate New York, I graduated from Cornell University in the spring of 2000 with a B.S. in Biology. In 2003, after a short stay in the biotechnology world, I moved west to work for an outdoor science school in Southern California. Since then, I have had the pleasure of traveling all over the country and working with a variety of successful environmental education programs, summer camps, and adventure programs. Having worked with students of all ages in a variety of settings, I specialize in teaching science and math concepts as well as test prep and study skills. My mission as a tutor is to help students understand subject content while learning how to learn.
My favorite part of being a teacher is watching confusion and doubt become knowledge and confidence. I believe that this transition of ignorance to understanding is the hallmark of education and my goal is

Kai B - Incline Village, NV 89451 (44.2 mi) - Earth Science Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I emphasize meaning in my instructional style. Rather than, say, inculcate a formula for comma us, I try to convey how comma use provides meaningful structure to an idea, i.e. the sentence. In the larger sphere of things, I believe in showing a student how a piece of literature--which may well include his or her own writing--is meaningful to himself. When this is accomplished, I have found that the "meaning" of the work provides the necessary impetus to motivate the student. As academic success is so inextricably linked with qualities such as interest and pertinacity, I emphasize the root cause: meaning. I am a valedictorian candidate, graduating with a degree in English. My background in English is both technical, focusing on classics in British and early American literature, while my position as editor of the Sierra Nevada Review, an annual publication of poetry, affords me a crea
