Tamar H. - Lincoln, NE 68507 (7 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $20.00/hr.
I received a score of 730 on the verbal part of the SAT when I applied to college. In the past year I helped prepare a Chinese student applying to college in the US for the SAT. (He was admitted to five of the seven universities he applied to and is planning to attend the University of Massachusetts.) I try to find out what a student is interested in and incorporate that. In my work with Lincoln Public Schools I often have extra time with students since we complete the required material more quickly than the general class, and I often use that for special projects that apply the concepts we're learning to fields like computer science, architecture, and art. I've been a Mentor with Lincoln Public Schools for over a year. Mentors function as one-on-one teachers for gifted students in an area of their strength. I've taught math to elementary school students (many of whom were in middle-scho

Devin M. - Lincoln, NE 68612 (14.8 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $47.50/hr.
Latin is notorious in the modern world for being considered dry and irrelevant, but I like to take a more modern approach, influenced by my study of Spanish. I believe that all students, of varying degrees and preparation, can find use of and success in Latin, Spanish, and the overall study of grammar. As a teacher, I am easy going, patient, and completely non-judgmental, understanding that not all students want to be scholars of Latin or language. I try to emphasize the variety of other benefits the study provides, including success on standardized tests for college, graduate school, medical school, and beyond. Overall, I love working with students of all ages, and I firmly believe in the process of one on one instruction. The study of language has played a major role in my life since I was young, when I pieced together bits of Spanish from the native speakers in my extended family, and

Christina A. - Omaha, NE 68124 (28 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $30.00/hr.
I have been a teacher for 7 years. I have taught in a small-town private, Christian two-room schoolhouse (K-8); I currently substitute teach for OPS, and have been to all but one school in the district. I have also tutored on and off over the years, both individually and in small groups, both privately and through school district or companies. I enjoy working with students in a smaller setting, especially one or two at a time, and helping them understand concepts and thus succeed in their schoolwork. The process is just as important as the product. If a student can come up with the correct answer, but he or she has no idea how or why it is correct or how they got it, I feel like their learning is incomplete. Especially in Math, but also in many other subjects, concepts build upon each other. For this reason, I like to explain not just *how* to get there, but also *why* we got that answer

Bradley W - Lincoln, NE 68510 (11.3 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I taught recitation for Honors Differential Equations, Differential Equations, Calculus 3, Calculus 2 and Introduction to Computer Science as an undergraduate at Georgia Tech and physics and astronomy labs as a graduate student at the University of Tennessee. I was consistently rated highly as a teacher by students. I see teaching as a dialog between teacher and student and adjust the speed and depth of my teaching to best help the student succeed. Most importantly I want to the student to leave with a greater understanding of the subject than when they entered.

Karl J - Lincoln, NV 68508 (12.4 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $42.50/hr.
I am confident that my college education at the University of Nebraska, interpersonal skills, direct work experience and passion for education and further learning make me a great candidate for this exciting opportunity. I am a former student-athlete at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where I was a member of the Husker Tennis team. During those five years I tutored English to a wide range of multi-national students, helping them on a wide range of areas from grammar to rhetorical writing. I was a spokesman and representative for the Student Athlete Committee and engaged in numerous school visits helping children learn the fundamentals of English writing and successful presentation. My duties as a SAC representative included proofreading elementary level textbooks for English classes in Nebraska. I am passionate about helping children engage in education.

Kristen C - Lincoln, NE 68516 (14.8 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $36.00/hr.
My main experience lies in working with elementary aged children in literacy and religious education programs. However, I received a bachelors degree in political science from DePauw University and a law degree (with honors) from the University of Nebraska, so I have a great deal of educational experience to draw from in teaching students as a tutor. In addition to my educational experience, I also have “real world” business experience and excellent research and writing skills through working as an attorney, all of which I will also draw from while tutoring. I enjoy working with students of all ages. I strive to encourage students to develop a love for learning and the ability to learn independently. Each person has a different learning style so I like to allow students to take an active role in designing the method in which they will best learn the material. The best activities requir
