Kirkland H. - Memphis, TN 38125 (32 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I have been in educator for over 10 years. I started teaching because of my volunteer work at the Memphis Literacy Council. I love teaching because I believe that education is the key to our country's future in this global competitive marketplace. We must prepare our children for the challenges of tomorrow because we live in such a dynamic world. I believe that every child can learn regardless of his or her situation. When given enough time on task and effective, instruction all kids learn. This is what I do.

Mary P. - Germantown, TN 38139 (32.6 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $52.50/hr.
Classical violin training, I believe, is more effective than Suzuki.
In language acquisition, I can work with a student to simulate immersion in a foreign language, or create building blocks towards thinking like a fluent/native speaker. Linguist, historian,violinist, and polyglot. I speak English, Vietnamese,French, German, and Turkish. Out of these languages I feel I can teach English, German, and Turkish.

Rachel C. - Cordova, TN 38016 (36.1 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $32.50/hr.
In undergraduate school, I took a variety of Poetry classes. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Writing in 2008 and am graduating this May (2012) with a Master's Degree in Journalism. I worked as a English, Writing, and Grammar Tutor for two years at both my college and graduate school. I have had experience tutoring and writing a variety of styles and genres including creative writing, non-fiction, editorials, poetry, blogs, press releases, and feature articles. Instead of telling the student the correct answer, I prefer to help them understand why the answer is correct. With writing, there can be better ways to word a sentence or rearrange a paragraph and I try to help them figure this out on their own. That way, the next time they run into a similar issue, they remember how they improved their writing the previous time.

Will R. - Memphis, TN 38112 (43.8 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $15.00/hr.
I am a junior English major and Religious Studies minor at Rhodes College. I graduated from Harding Academy ('09), a school well known for its strong English department. The past two summers I have worked at Harding's summer camp as a counselor for first and second graders, so patience is definitely a trait that I have come to learn and appreciate. Being an English major, I am strong in areas concerning reading, writing, and grammar. Also, I play football for Rhodes College, and I try to display the work ethic I have learned on the field in all that I do. Reading and writing are, and have always been, enjoyable for me. However, I know that a lot of people do not feel the same way. My goal is to show students that if he or she can get past the miring details that oftentimes come with English, it can be pretty dang interesting. Since revealing the fun parts of English is my goal, I

Britney G - Hickory Valley, TN 38042 (19.7 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $39.50/hr.
I have discovered that every students is capable of achieving greatness if someone will take the time and effort to learn their learning style. I pride myself in being able to break things down to the most basic levels if necessary in order to reach a student. Often you have to know a child's personality, background, and home life in order to understand what he or she relates to. I don't believe in teaching a subject, I believe in teaching a student. I also do not believe in giving up. If the first method doesn't work then we will continue to try until something clicks and that child grasps the material and excels at it. I have a BA in History/English from the University of Mississippi. I have been a teacher for the past year in Tate County Mississippi. This experience has allowed me to develop a teaching style to reach all types of learners.

Teresa R - New Albany, MS 38652 (21.3 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $59.50/hr.
I love to learn, and love passing that on to others. I am a patient personality, and I may present a problem to a student to evaluate where they are. From there, we can go either backwards or to more advanced work. Education is very important for myself and for my children, and I like to instill that learning takes you further in life than where someone may have not even dreamed. I am amazed at seeing cashiers who can't make simple change, or someone who can't calculate a small percentage in their head, such as 10% of a number. I want children to learn and have a feel-good attitude with their accomplishments. I have tutored elementary students during my tenure in the Air Force on a volunterr basis. I worked as a Introduction to Computers instructor at Keiser College for two semesters.
I have a fascination with math and numbers. My extensive experience with budgeting and using spr

Mary W - Booneville, MS 38829 (28.8 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $33.50/hr.
As a Communication major at College of Charleston, the majority of my undergraduate assessment was research papers, essays, and writing exams. My grammar and writing skills have been far above average throughout my academic career. During the last three years since graduation, I have spent fifteen months teaching English as a Second Language at Chinese secondary schools. I also taught private lessons to Korean International students. As an English teacher, I represented my language every day and taught my students with accuracy and enthusiasm. I love working with older children. By the time students have reached secondary school, most are developing confidence in their abilities and discovering their unique talents. As a teacher, I enjoy encouraging students to reach their potential in any subject. I especially enjoy one-on-one tutoring, because the students are able to be more relaxed i

Andrea W - Oxford, MS 38655 (30.4 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $35.50/hr.
While working to obtain a degree in Elementary Education at the University of Mississippi, I was able to experience a variety of tutoring and instructional techniques in the K-6 grades. Each semester I was assigned to specific grade levels that allowed me to work with instructors and students. I was given opportunities to tutor students throughout the semester through assignments, projects, and volunteering. I have instructional experience and have tutored students in grade levels K-6 during my four years at the University of Mississippi. I obtained a certification to teach General Science grades 7-12 while working on my minor in Geology, and a certification to teach English grades 7-12. I believe education provides students the opportunity to move forward in society as confident and knowledgeable citizens. It is what I think to be one of the most important elements of an individual

I am a very energetic and motivating individual. I believe that learning is a viable component in success. It is our job to educate our children and provide the resources neccessary in order for them to reach their potential. I love to bring out the best in children.
