Lauren C - Alton, MO 62002 (33.2 mi) - Psychology Tutor - $38.50/hr.
As a substitute teacher in the Bethalto school district, I feel I have been trained in all of the subjects necessary to tutor students. On a daily occurrence, I teach math, science, english, reading, social studies, etc. My specialties are english and reading. English was my minor in college and is something that has always been second nature to me. I was also a personal tutor for a child in the spring of '08 an fall of '08. His grades improved drastically from Ds and Fs, to Bs. I have a very unique way of teaching. My key to success works on a system of discipline and rewards. I find creative ways to make the most mundane tasks fun to accomplish. I think the number on rule in teaching strategy should be finding a way to make the process enjoyable. I believe most kids that do poorly in school have an incredibly hard time putting their hearts into tutoring. In my professional experience,

Shelly M - Bethalto, MO 62010 (34.7 mi) - Psychology Tutor - $39.00/hr.
Because science is a "hands-on" subject, I feel it is extremely important to use demonstrations, examples that are relevant to every-day life, experiments and anything else that will help students understand the world around them. I have been told that I have an "out-of-the-box" approach to learning, but have found it to be successful with the majority of students. Classroom discussions are utilized more often then lectures, because when a student plays an active role in their education, they learn more. Over the past 12 years, I have worked in both the private and public sectors of the education community. I have taught grades 7-12 in all areas of science. I have also been the director of a learning center, where I started as a tutor. The years of experience have taught me a great deal about children of all ages and abilities. With each new year, I learn something new about myself

Susan L - Florissant, MO 63031 (37.5 mi) - Psychology Tutor - $36.50/hr.
As an ambitious doctoral candidate and highly motivated life-long learner, I am currently focused on academia and all that it entails. For example, I have earned a bachelor degree in psychology and a certificate in trauma studies. In addition, I have earned a master's degree in adult and higher education and am thoroughly enjoying my dissertation work/research in earning my doctoral degree. Additionally, I have three certificates in writing (Writing, Technical, and Creative), a certificate in institutional research, and a certificate in university teaching. My philosophical foundation of teaching reflects on my own learning experiences during my undergraduate and graduate coursework. During much of those higher learning opportunities, my professors utilized a very respectful perspective towards all students, and this background of having role models has instilled in me the importance of

Tarak P - Hazelwood, MO 63042 (37.8 mi) - Psychology Tutor - $36.00/hr.
Since students learn in many ways—by seeing and hearing; reflecting and acting; reasoning logically and intuitively; memorizing and visualizing,I provide various guidelines for how I want tasks completed in this course based upon student pool. Students might describe me as a knowledgeable coach who dispenses the fact, principles, and concepts they need and works closely with someone to correct problems in how they think and behave. I give students a lot of personal support and encouragement to do well in their course. As a supplemental Instructor/tutor at UMSL Department of Biology, I facilitate the learning process by explaining concepts and encouraging open communication with students. In addition, I conduct weekly review sessions to integrate how-to-learn with what-to-learn. I grade exams and laboratory reports.

Caleb K - Saint Peters, MO 63376 (38.2 mi) - Psychology Tutor - $34.00/hr.
My first teaching experience was as a high school senior where I was given the opportunity to teach a small group of 5th graders as part of the Missouri A+ program. We began with division, quickly moving into linear and nonlinear algebra, before touching on the fundamentals of complex numbers, graph theory and trigonometry, before concluding with a derivation of the quadratic formula and its applications. I spent three semesters as the academic chair for my fraternity enforcing study hours for fraternity brothers with lower GPA’s; tutoring students in algebra, calculus, physics, and computer science, among other fields. I have also had five years of experience in Latin up to the college level with one year of Japanese. I believe that every student can meet his or her potential provided that the subject matter is presented in a way that makes sense to them and that any material can be

JENNIFER S - CHATHAM, IL 62629 (39.8 mi) - Psychology Tutor - $41.50/hr.
After earning my BS in zoology with a minor in psychology, I worked as an educator at a local zoo working with elementary aged children. This was my first experience teaching and I soon realized how fun and rewarding educating could be. I continued my education to achieve my MS in behavior, ecology, and evolution. While working towards my MS degree I taught labs for 2 years for both majors and non-majors ranging from biological concepts to taxonomy, organismal biology, and general biology. My responsibilities teaching labs was as a lecturer and mentor, helping students with problems and assignments outside lab as well as with the lab task at hand. I find that most people tend to learn best when they can relate a concept to the real world. As a result, I tend to use examples, analogies, and diagrams often when I am explaining a process or concept. I also try to incorporate hands on le

Richard P - O'Fallon, MO 63366 (39.9 mi) - Psychology Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I am a very patient teacher who treats students with respect. It is my goal to reach all learners and meet their needs from all ability levels and cultural backgrounds.

One year in the Lincoln Country School District and 15 years in the Rockwood School District. I have taught grades 1,2,3 and 5.

Stephanie S - Edwardsville, MO 62025 (42 mi) - Psychology Tutor - $34.00/hr.
I consider myself to exert a demonstrator model of teaching, meaning that I help children learn through demonstrating skills and then coaching students to apply these skills. I also focus on fostering self-confidence which can encourage any child to learn new and difficult skills. I try to establish a trusting relationship with each student so that he or she will feel comfortable in the learning environment. I graduated cum laude with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Speech Communication. I was recently accepted into a Master's of Psychology program, specializing in Research, Evaluation, and Measurement. I have superb communication skills, both in oral and written form. I have informally tutored high school students in mathematics, psychology, and sciences. My current Master's program will afford me even more mathematical expertise, specifically in statistics. I have als

Stephen R - Ofallon, MO 63368 (42.1 mi) - Psychology Tutor - $34.50/hr.
I have always wanted to teach Math and Science. I have volunteered tutored on and off for five years for friends and family. I have a BS in Chemistry and have worked as a Chemist for 13 years. I currently am working as an accountant. I enjoy formulas and showing my students how everything comes togeher. Most people find Math frustrating and I enjoy showing them a different way to approach problems. I have tutored elementary students in all subjects, high school students in all subjects, and college students in algebra, calculus, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, computer science, and biology. I really enjoy tutoring. I love watching the students gain confidence as we work through the problems. I believe my attitude and approach to teaching helps the students. I provide enough understanding to the students but still challenge them. The worst thing you can do, is just give the a

Kyle M - Edwardsville, IL 62025 (43.2 mi) - Psychology Tutor - $57.50/hr.
I am a recent graduate from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, with a BS in Business Administration - International Business and a focus in Chinese. Because this program is relatively new, a degree in International Business required multiple Finance courses, which allowed me to learn many advanced statistical and mathematical concepts. In these classes, I often assumed an informal tutor role and helped my fellow students understand difficult points. In addition, I trained new employees during my tenure as Lab Manager of a campus computer lab. I like to teach by using examples (as many as it takes) and by breaking down difficult concepts into relevant, manageable information for the person I'm assisting. Positive reinforcement is a major part of how I teach. I am a fun, patient person that enjoys helping others, and I am confident that I can help your child meet and exceed hi
