Dolores K - Columbus Junction, IA 52738 (13.2 mi) - Elementary Math Tutor - $32.50/hr.
I believe that ALL children are capable of learning. It is my responsibility to seek out those methodologies that are most compatible for the children in my care.
My administrators usually placed those students who were struggling in my care. I don't believe in using just one "curriculum" but am adept at combining a variety of techniques that will best enable the children find out that they are, indeed, capable of learning!
Teaching reading and writing are particular joys to me, as I believe anyone who learns to read has opened up a whole new world. Learning can be fun and relaxed, while achieving the goals necessary for academic success. A skilled educator experienced in working with diverse population groups, I'm a Reading Specialist and a classroom educator. Designing curriculum and consulting with homeschooling families have been integral parts of my growth as an educator.

Caitlin C - Muscatine, IA 52761 (16.7 mi) - Elementary Math Tutor - $59.00/hr.
As an University of Iowa graduate I have always held education as a high value. I have dedicated my time to personally achieving excellence in education, as well as helping others do the same. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology, a minor in Social Work and with a year and a half math experience at the college level. During the last couple years I was an Academic Mentor for a high school student at West High School in Iowa City and volunteered my time working with students to help improve their educational skills in West High School's Success Center. As a previous camp counselor I tutored students in an one-on-one and group setting to better their learning skills in preparation for the next school year. I truly enjoy working with all students. My past experiences of interacting with children has shown me all children have the ability to learn, but learn at differ

Mark E - Durant, IA 52747 (27.2 mi) - Elementary Math Tutor - $39.00/hr.
As a graduate from the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire with a Bachelor of Science degree, I am a very organized and self-driven person. I have a Wisconsin and Arizona Teaching License. I have taught fourth grade for four years and have used multiple strategies to reach all of my learners. My teaching has been geared toward providing students with every opportunity to succeed. I have a strong passion to educate young minds and help them develop into well-rounded, respectful, and responsible individuals. Throughout the course of my teaching career, I have had numerous opportunities to teach diverse groups of students, including those with learning disabilities, those who perform at grade level, and those who are gifted/exceptional. As a result, I continually design creative and stimulating lesson plans, which accommodate the multiple intelligences, bring a hands-on approach to lear

Andrew A - Iowa City, IA 52245 (31.6 mi) - Elementary Math Tutor - $36.00/hr.
Because of my elementary background, it is safe to say I am a very patient person and I use that skill in my ability. I allow the children to create their own paths and when there are roadblocks we work together to find a solution. I am not in the habit of giving students the answers. I feel education is most effective when self discovery is involved and I want my students to feel that they are learning and achieving in every way possible. All students are capable of success; some just need more guidance than others. My teaching experience has been primarily focused on elementary education, however I have tutored freshman in English and History. I have a degree in psychology from St. Ambrose in Davenport and finished my licensure at Ottawa University in Phoenix. I am certified to teach K-6 in Arizona and I have applied for Iowa certification.

Vishal Kumar S - Iowa City, IA 52240 (32.4 mi) - Elementary Math Tutor - $35.50/hr.
From my teaching experience at the University of Iowa, I think that the level of understanding of the subject varies from student to student. Some students grasp the subject easily while it is hard for others. Therefore I always try to teach the subject in a manner that will consider all the different levels of students and in which questions are encouraged. I have earned two MS degrees and a BS degree in chemistry in my academic career. I have two-and-a-half year experience of teaching undergraduate students at the University of Iowa. I received a very good evaluation from students which I would be happy to share with you. I have also passed SPEAK TEST along with the English Language Performance Test which is a requirement to be able to teach at the University of Iowa.

Toni P - Rock Island, IL 61201 (32.7 mi) - Elementary Math Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I'm a strong believer in the Gardner's ideas of many different learning styles and types of intelligent. Some students are better audio, tactile, or visual learners. I feel it is the teacher's responsibility to find the best learning style for each student and build on that format through scaffolding. I love nothing better than to see the light bulb go off in a students mind. This also helps them to realize that learning can be a fun adventure. I've been a special education teacher and held positions in resource and in self-contained rooms. I've taught students with learning problems in reading, math, and writing. I have also worked in the Lights on for Learning program and have been a home tutor for home bound students in the district.

Adam E - Iowa City, IA 52446 (32.8 mi) - Elementary Math Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I will find a positive way to teach a student of any age. Although I always say I don't have the tolerance for negativity, I consider myself an expert when it comes to turning it into positive thinking. I also have extensive experience teaching students that are either hesitant or reluctant to put forth effort to learn. In the past I have countered this with positive comebacks and humor, which is usually greeted with a smile. For the last year I have tutored University students in Iowa City for 2 subjects. From 2003-2004 I tutored various subjects at the University while in school to finish my bachelor's degree. In addition, I started my tutoring career in high school through personal and professional references. The subjects I have tutored throughout my career are: Economics, Algebra, Statistics, Computer Science, Financial Accounting, and Cost Accounting. I am currently working

Adrian D - Davenport, IA 52802 (33.8 mi) - Elementary Math Tutor - $34.00/hr.
Since my elementary years I've always been a student driven to succeed and pursue higher levels of education. Recently I've graduated from Iowa State University with a Bachelor's of Science in Civil Engineering which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. I can also speak and handle any questions in Spanish at an intermediate level. Furthermore, I served as a junior mentor in the CADS (Center for Alcohol and Drug Services) after school program, tutoring and leading the kids in organized fun. I love teaching and helping children pursue their dreams. I believe that all children can be successful if given the right time and role models. I am a friendly, patient, and easy going guy. I am willing to help any student in whichever way possible achieve and believe they can be successful.

Caleb B - Davenport, IA 52806 (34.6 mi) - Elementary Math Tutor - $41.50/hr.
I have over 200 hours of classroom observation and teaching time. I have been an afterschool supervisor/leader at an inner city elementary school. I have also subsitute taught in a public school classroom. I was also the president of the TRIPLE E elementary education club at my college. I was also a leader at AWANA (a children's program). In addition to the classroom experience I have, I have also written numerous Units and/or lesson plans to teach in classrooms. I am a kinesthetic learner, so I enjoy teaching in a very approachable, hands on kind of way. I realize every student is not that kind of learner, however, yet I try to make learning the subject at hand enjoyable and something that will be remembered not just for a test, but for life, in the student.

Ashleigh V - Davenport, IA 52806 (34.8 mi) - Elementary Math Tutor - $59.50/hr.
As early as I can remember I have always wanted to have a degree that involved children. So i decided to go to college to become an Elementary School teacher. I graduated from Black Hawk College where I earned my associates degree. After completion of my associates I then transfered to Western Illinois University. I majored in Elementary Education K-9. After graduating in December of 2009 I started subbing in the Moline and Rock Island School Districts. After subbing I then took an 2010-1011 opening for a Resource Para in the Moline School District. I work with students in grades 1-3 at Butterworth Elementary. I would love to someday become a teacher and have my own classroom just like my husband. I love teaching and assisting children in all grade levels to succeed. I do believe that all children can learn, and that each child is different. I am very patient, kind, considerate, and ene

Jonathan W - Rock Island, IL 61201 (34.8 mi) - Elementary Math Tutor - $35.50/hr.
I'm a student at Augustana College whose academic record has ranged from public school to home schooling to community college and and even private education. I've worked as a tutor for over 2 years at Black Hawk College, at the same time obtaining an Associates Degree. Throughout those years I've encountered many special needs students and many bright students, tutoring in subjects ranging from English, Math, Social Studies, to Computer Science. I believe the best way to learn is peer-to-peer learning. As an auto-didact I have the study skills necessary to regurgitate information as taught by the current institutional models. This is an uncreative and highly unnatural way to learn. There's a reason no major discovery was made in a classroom -- true innovation, discovery and learning is an organic process.
