Jonathon E. - Sevierville, TN 37876 (18 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I have a philosophy that preparation is the foundation to anything, and that proper preparation will help anyone conquer any exam. I have mentored various people since 2000, in all types of subjects, including math, science, social sciences, English, writing, literature, and other related subjects. My academic record is very strong, and I believe empowering those I work with every single time. The only pre-requisites are that you have to be willing to learn, and learn how to learn. I like to use the Socratic method, mainly by asking questions and challenging assumptions. In addition, I like to engage those I teach, challenging them to think about what they previously have not considered. I believe in building on successes, and offering constructive criticism, where appropriate.

Angelia J - Knoxville, TN 37920 (13.4 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $40.50/hr.
We are all individuals and as such will have our own, unique styles of learning. My job as a tutor/mentor/teacher is to uncover that and foster the growth of such.
I am skilled at promoting creativity, creating a fun learning environment, setting achievable goals, and developing a sense of accomplishment in a student. I balance patience with clear expectations; I view a tutoring relationship as a partnership. After assessing the needs and goals of the student, we will work together to form a plan to achieve short-term and long-term goals. During my college years, while earning a degree in journalism, I tutored college-level English composition; this is when I first discovered the joy of helping someone learn something and “seeing the light come on” for them.
I have spent the last twenty years of my professional career in not-for-profit work, almost entirely devoted to programs

Rick D - Knoxville, TN 37922 (13.4 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I believe learning is about confidence. I have seen numerous students doing poorly in courses because they were convinced that they were not capable of learning the subject matter. Small successes help to build confidence in order to move on to the subsequent challenges. I believe in starting with the basics, and making sure that the students truly grasps the subject matter before moving to more difficult concepts. Often, it takes several different approaches before a student is able to understand the concept. I believe that with patience, I can find the right approach and help most students perform at a higher level. While completing my undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering at University of Idaho, I was often called upon to tutor people within the building where I lived during college. I also was employed by the University to grade papers and offer assistance to underclassm

Jennifer K - Knoxville, TN 37919 (14.1 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $37.00/hr.
My teaching style is specific to the individual child and their needs. When I worked at the residential center, I had to teach alcohol and drug awareness classes. During that time is when I learned that encouragement, patience, and a variety of methods are essential to a child's academic success. A child looks to the teacher for the effective skills and tools to accomplish their dreams. I have always felt compelled to help others achieve their dreams. I graduated with a bachelor's in psychology and began working at a residential alcohol and drug treatment facility for adolescents. There I assisted the education personnel in tutoring our clients. I helped our kids with math, science, and English, at all levels of education. My work experience in this position and in the positions that I was promoted to enhanced my writing skills, interpersonal relationships, and attention to detail

Dawn S - Knoxville, TN 39722 (14.8 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $33.50/hr.
When teaching, I want to instill in each child a love for learning. I do this, first of all, by setting the mood of the classroom - meaning, I make it conducive for learning with an attitude of happiness and respect for each child; believing that I can find attributes that I like about each child, and making the atmosphere pleasant, cozy, and fun. Secondly, I instill the class rules with positive outcomes so the environment is always positive. Usually this takes about a week of consistency, then my class is ready to take off! Once they know the rules, know you are going to be consistent, and enjoy coming to your classroom, then, learning is fun! I taught for the public school system in Memphis, TN for 17 years with 15 of those years in the same school. I have taught kindergarten, first, second, and third grade and for 3 years I taught a second/third split class of exceptional studen

Rena B - Knoxville, TN 37914 (15.2 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I was determined to be the first to attend and graduate from college out of a big family. I have learned different aspects of Psychology to apply to everyday life. In the last 10 years, I have been working with troubled teens to help them get their lives back on track. I have also done some tutoring in between. Working with different age groups, have shown me that every child is their own individual. I get to know the children I work with to understand the best approach to take with them. I can work in small groups, large groups, or individual. Some children are shy and may work better alone. It takes patience to teach and I am blessed to have that gift.

Jason W - Knoxville, TN 37914 (15.7 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $36.00/hr.
The teaching style that brings the best success I've found is centered on two points. First of all, it is based on listening, which means getting the student to talk. Eventually, with guidance, I aim to get them the ability to talk through and solve any problem. The second major technique I like to use is analogies. Even complicated subjects can be simplified into their core components which are easy to understand if taught as an analogy to something more familiar in daily life. Just as the Bible uses parables or employers use phrases from team sports to explain team roles, I find lots of success by using analogies. My specialty is reading, writing and research. I have a bachelor's degree from the University of Texas, where I studied government, law and economics. I believe most students can learn or solve any problem by talking it through, which is often easier and more effe

Linda H - Knoxville, TN 37919 (15.9 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $38.00/hr.
Having taught and tutored students from first grade through the college level, I feel qualified to help any student needing assistance with English-related studies. I have taught English in middle school, high school, and college. My experience also includes working one-on-one with students in summer programs sponsored by the university or school with which I was associated. Teaching to all learning styles has provided degrees of success for students that have enabled them to graduate or proceed to the next level of learning. I feel strongly that all students can learn if the key to teaching them is discovered and implemented. I strive to recognize each student as an independent personality, with different needs and different goals. In this capacity, I teach to all levels in whatever learning style is presented by the individual and have helped the student to achieve success in his or he

Robert C - Knoxville, TN 37921 (16 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $56.00/hr.
I have been a full-time (and quite busy) professional tutor for the past five years. I currently work as an independent tutor through The Tutor Connection and Wyzant, as well as my personal tutoring service. While living in California in 2007, I was employed by the San Diego Board of Education as a tutor for the AVID program, a group style tutoring initiative to assist high school students with difficulties and increase their motivation to learn. Upon my return to Knoxville, before becoming a full-time private tutor, I tutored U.T. student athletes as an employee of the University of Tennessee. When I was in grammar school, high school, and college, I regularly tutored my friends in areas they had difficulty with. Through experience and research, I have developed a tutoring style that has helped countless students achieve unmeasured success. My students usually respond very well to my

Joy R - Knoxville, TN 37912 (16.1 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $35.50/hr.
I have taught English to students at levels from seventh graders through college freshmen. My M.A. in English Literature equipped me to inspire both eager and reluctant students to write and read with confidence and capability. As a reporter, a proofreader, and an editor, I used language in the real world, and that application helps me inspire and motivate students. Teaching home-schooled students, international students, and students of widely varying ages, backgrounds, and ambitions has taught me to match the needs of the individual to the requirements of an increasingly competitive world. Teaching high school and college at the same time has given me enviable insight into what students need today to prepare them for tomorrow's needs. Assuming that most students would rather be anywhere than an English class, I listen to their interests of the moment and then relate them to my goals. I

JR L - Knoxville, TN 37922 (16.3 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $38.00/hr.
At the University of Tennessee every student is expected to fulfill certain core curriculum requirements in any degree program. As an AP student in high school, I tested out of U.S. History and freshman English/Composition. I tested out of the first year of Spanish via UT's foreign language placement exams as well. With 18 "free" credits under my belt from day one, I was able to pursue my love for writing in the journalism program. I have earned a BS in communications giving me pratical hands-on editing and writing skills, be it creative, technical, or persuasive. I completed my internship year at Farragut High School, where I taught both freshman and junior year writing and literature. I love the give and take of working with high school students. I relish hearing fresh, young opinions and seeing how they decide what they believe in and why. My style entails showing a student the relev

Lance T - Knoxville, TN 37912 (16.6 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I received my BS in Accounting 1988. While getting my degree I was involved in the on campus tutoring program. I have tutored students in, accounting mathematics, philosophy, marketing, business law, finance, and religion. Since graduating from college I have had several training opportunities in various jobs. These jobs have given me a wide range of experience in training (tutoring) a wide range of people with various levels of education, and their ability to grasp the information required for the job. I have passion for teaching others what I have learned. My work experience and education have given me a great deal of knowledge and I want to pass that along to others that may benefit from it. In working with students one needs to have the ability to connect with that student at their level of understanding. This can be different for every student, and the tutor needs to adjust to the s
