Laurie H. - Chico, CA 95926 (23.6 mi) - Literature Tutor - $21.50/hr.
I have read a wide variety of authors and even won a scholarship for an essay based on Plato's writings. I love working one on one with a student. Wherever the student needs help or wants improvement, that is where I meet them. I'm very patient and extremely friendly, and I am determined to help a student understand in any way I can! I also think cookies help studying :) Sometimes, unusual methods like movie clips, cartoons, reading passages, or other "real-life" experiences help to solidify a topic, so I'm not afraid to think outside the box! I have been teaching all my life. Last year, I lived in Prague, Czech Republic, and taught English to students aged five through adult. They included children, accountants, analysts, engineers, energy experts, and lawyers. I've also taught swimming lessons to individual students and group classes for over ten years. I have a Master's in Creative Wr

Jeffrey P - Chcio, CA 95926 (22 mi) - Literature Tutor - $41.00/hr.
My teaching style would be that of Guided Discovery. This is a highly interactive style which leads the student to uncover the answer themselves as opposed to the teacher simply reciting the answer to them. Guided Discovery requires the student to learn by doing therefore developing necessary problem solving and deductive skills that will make them better learners and thinkers both now and in the future. I implement this style by asking leading questions, giving examples, making analagies and asking the student what they think or ask them to explain how they came upon a certain conclusion. This ensures that the desired cognitive skills and strategies are being learned. Having earned degrees in PE, Exercise Science, Exercise Physiology and Biomechanics I have a strong science background in subjects such as Biology, Anatomy, Physiology, Kinetics, Biomechanics, Cellular Biology, Physics and

ken k - chico, CA 95926 (22.5 mi) - Literature Tutor - $46.00/hr.
I have been an elementary school teacher for nearly 18 years. I taught for 7 years in Elk Creek and 10 years in Los Molinos where I currently teach 2nd and 3rd grade. I earned Glenn County Teacher of the Year in 1998 and Tehama County Teacher of the Year in 2007.
I was also named Glenn County Teacher of the Week for Channel 7 News in 1999. From 1992 to 1996 I trained in study skills for the History and Geology departments at Chico State through the Equity Services Office. This included a 3 hour training session each week in addition to tutoring individually and in groups for struggling college students. This was 4 of the greatest years ever! This University training really helped prepare me for the world of teaching and tutoring. I feel after all these wonderful years that I can assist any student who wants to learn as well as those who think they don't. My style depends sometimes on

Anna M - Chico, CA 95928 (22.8 mi) - Literature Tutor - $44.50/hr.
I have a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. While earning this degree I was given the opportunity to gain experience in working in various classrooms at many different grade levels. I feel most confident in my teaching skills when working one-on-one with students or in small groups. My age areas of expertise are Kindergarten-6th grade. "How many different ways can I teach a concept?" is the mentality I use when working with students. Every student learns in his/her own unique way. Being creative, adaptive, and fun are essential. I live for that "ah-ha moment" where everything clicks. It's no secret that we succeed in the things that we love doing. I love working with children and I strive to create a learning experience that engages my students. My goal is to leave my students eager to see what's in store for them in the next lesson.

FNU H - Yuba City, CA 95993 (39.2 mi) - Literature Tutor - $47.00/hr.
I am devoted to teaching and believe that it is the very index of my attitude. I love teaching anything else. I love to be with children and to teach them what they yet to know.I am available for teaching children all the time as i am a firm believer in teaching through intentions and discovery providing a competitive approach to learning.I love to teach the children in an appropriate environment so they may have agreat learning experience and that makes the real difference. As a mathematics graduate, I was anxious to achieve a high level of excellence in teaching.

MabelJoy D - Yuba City, CA 95991 (40.9 mi) - Literature Tutor - $40.50/hr.
As a former military child, I have learned to adapt very quickly to any situation and believe every experience is a learning one. I have worked with both military and non-military with my duties in some jobs included helping people with software and computer skills. My undergraduate degree in Mass Communications strengthened my ability to communicate effectively and sparked further interest in education. Since my graduation in 2003, I've completed over 60 units of college classes. I am currently working on a second degree, in Nursing. Exposure to the sciences and many other classes that require extensive reading, critical thinking, communication through discussions and writing papers has prepared me for a tutoring position such as this. I am a believer of diversity. I don't believe that learning is "One size fits all". I am aware that children come from a variety of backgrounds and th
