Alexis G. - Reno, NV 89521 (9.2 mi) - Testing Strategies Tutor - $42.50/hr.
I've been tutoring since high schools in a wide range of subjects, such as latin, algebra II, and biology. The skills you use to teach yourself the material can be directly applied to someone else, especially when you find something does not click at first. I have a number of mnemonics for helping my tutees retain the material they've spent time learning. In college I don't tutor professionally because of time constraints, but I help other students understand problems they may be having difficulty with. I've also had my own SAT tutor and seen different programs and their styles, and I've chosen the one that I find the most effective.

Pamela T - Carson City, NV 89706 (4.8 mi) - Testing Strategies Tutor - $38.50/hr.
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. 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.

Devon H - Carson City, NV 89702 (5.4 mi) - Testing Strategies Tutor - $41.50/hr.
Given the right atmosphere, I honestly believe anyone can learn. Unfortunately, many individuals are given labels, especially regarding their learning capacity, and once that belief system is in place, the expectations are often lowered and self-esteem suffers. I believe in positive encouragement and support, while working through difficulties with a 'can do' attitude on my part which then becomes, with reinforcement and consistency, the belief of the child. Encouraging curiosity and problem solving gives children the tools to succeed in many areas outside as well as inside the classroom. My goal is to leave a smile on their face, a feeling of success in their heart, and the knowledge that they did learn something that day! I have been working with children and adolescents in a variety of capacities for 20+ years. I truly enjoy their energy and their desire to be successful given the rig

Matt S - Incline Village, NV 89450 (9 mi) - Testing Strategies Tutor - $38.50/hr.
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 to motivate my students to seek these opportunities. 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 educa

Kai B - Incline Village, NV 89451 (11.5 mi) - Testing Strategies Tutor - $37.50/hr.
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 creative grasp of writing. I am also the assistant coordinator of the Sierra Nevada Tutoring Center. During my time at the center, I have helped institute protocols for L2 learners and have instructed tutors on methods of tutoring. I have been a tutor for four years, and have tutored all ages, including elementary school children learning to read, as well as adults working on dissertations. 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,

Hannah P - Reno, NV 89523 (17 mi) - Testing Strategies Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I think that kids light up life and make it interesting. That's why I love working with them. I love the intellectual stimulation of the older age groups and the academic challenge they present. However, I love working with the younger kids as well, learning their fresh take on life and watching them learn HOW to learn is like watching life happen before your eyes. I think the most important concept for me, as a tutor, to remember, is to allow the student to arrive at the answer themselves. To get them to think, and by thus doing so, empower them to sharpen their skills and learn independently. I have experience tutoring anything from phonics to college level writing. I taught preschool for a year and a half at the Lion and Lamb Christian Preschool in Reno, NV. I have also tutored at the UNR Writing Center (when it still existed) during the Fall semester of '08. Since October 20

KimberlyAnne D - Reno, NV 89512 (17.5 mi) - Testing Strategies Tutor - $54.00/hr.
I have a friendly, encouraging approach with my students; I like them to feel comfortable working with me, but I also let them know that I have high expectations and that our tutoring sessions are not social time. My goal is to get students to understand the material and feel comfortable discussing and applying it, so my tutoring sessions are often very conversational. I provide a lot of feedback and will have students practice difficult concepts multiple times before moving on because I believe that practice is a key component to learning. I like to get to know my students and pinpoint their academic strengths and weaknesses so that together we can build on those things. I recently graduated from University of Nevada, Reno summa cum laude. I was also my high school valedictorian. I have always excelled in school because I love learning and have great organization and study skills.

Nicole L - Reno, NV 89503 (17.7 mi) - Testing Strategies Tutor - $33.50/hr.
Currently, I am a senior at UNR nearing the completion of a nutrition-dietetics major and psychology minor. From a young age, I was driven to exceed academically, which have positively influenced my success in the classroom. Upon completing a rigorous high school schedule(Scholar's Program:detailed list of required AP/honors classes and greater than a 3.5 GPA), I was well prepared for college. I began tutoring in the 6th grade, focusing primarily on math related concepts. Throughout the years, I have continued to instruct various other grade levels in multiple subjects. Personally, I believe my two strongest subjects are math and writing. I thoroughly enjoy teaching, especially the satisfaction of watching a student that was previously struggling start to succeed as a result of your time and instruction. I am an extrovert, personable, intelligent, and am not limited to one specific

Brett K - Reno, NV 89523 (17.7 mi) - Testing Strategies Tutor - $48.00/hr.
I am a very understanding and considerate person and my teaching style reflects that. I have been counseling a week-long church camp in southern California for the past 5 years now and I absolutely love doing it. The ages are 9-12 and I look forward to it every year. I have also worked with older children when I worked at the Boy's and Girl's Club. I definitely believe a successful tutor can really change the life of a young adult by stressing the importance of education. Sometimes all it takes is hearing it from a different person in a different perspective. I am a recent graduate of the University of Nevada, Reno. I earned my BS in Finance through the College of Business Administration which enabled me to gain experience in different subjects such as math, economics, accounting, information systems, and marketing. I also used to tutor other, younger students when I was in high school.

Jacob C - Sparks, NV 89431 (17.8 mi) - Testing Strategies Tutor - $34.50/hr.
I believe all students can achieve success given the right learning experience and motivation. I appreciate that there are several methods through which students learn, and I believe the key to effective teaching is to find the right method for each student. There are many ways to explain any subject. If one explanation does not make sense, it is usually possible to find another way to say, write, draw or demonstrate the same idea. I am very patient and considerate of students’ needs, and I try to be as sensitive as possible to the learning style of each student. My goal is to provide the most educational experience possible by finding the learning style that works best for each student and by allowing them to learn through discovery. I have earned a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in mining engineering which have given me a deep understanding in many areas of math, science

Catalina J - Reno, NV 89503 (17.9 mi) - Testing Strategies Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I am a parent and I understand that educating our children is a priority. Although challenging, I particularly enjoy working with children, teaching them as well as learning from them.
I believe that what makes me a good teacher is my ability to listen, understand a child's outlook on things and my constant focus on challenging traditional teaching styles. I am a believer in visualizing the everyday subject, and I always give memorable examples related to our learning material. Also, I understand that every child's capabilities are different and it is only a matter of adapting to their level of understanding and providing a constructive approach. I like to involve all students in classroom activities, delegate tasks and reward good results. I also share personal experiences from my academic and professional career.
At the end of the day, knowing that I made a difference in someone's

Jason L - Sparks, NV 89431 (18 mi) - Testing Strategies Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I love to work with all children and college students. I believe that everyone can learn in his or her on way. I want your child to succeed and become better learners and get better grades. I believe in teaching with a calm voice and to be postive towards the students and not bashing. I believe that if a child or college student is motivated to work and become better he or she will be a better student and better in society. As a graduate of the University of Nevada Reno, I am driven to succeed in education. I have earned a bachelors degree in English writing, which has allowed me to understand many techniques in writing papers for different audiences. I also have a minor in Speech Communication which enables me to help students with speech writing and prepartion. Over the last year I tutored students at UNR in English composition and I am willing to expand my tutoring expertise to includ
