John D - Cookeville, TN 38501 (8.1 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I seek a student-centered classroom with a balance of authority and trustworthiness in the teacher so that the students respect me while at the same time feeling comfortable to share their ideas freely. I like for students to apply what they learn soon after the lesson. For example, if the subject was math, and we had been doing multiplication by flash cards, I might ask a question about the number of squares on a chess board. The idea is to firmly ground the students with their comfort zone as foundation and build upon their confidence with new ways of applying what they have learned so that they continue thinking outside of the rote lesson. After graduating from MTSU, I went to Prague, Czech Republic to train and work as a teacher of English as a foreign language. I secured a position at Bell School International. Here I taught mostly adult students but I also had a few high school cla

Barbara G - Mount Juliet, TN 37122 (38 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $35.50/hr.
Teaching is not something I had initially aspired to but found I am a teacher and motivator by nature. I love the challenge of figuring what pieces, educational, each student is missing and helping them fill the their gaps to reach the next level and have things come together for them. I am very patient and try to make each session fun and interesting. My students and work associates have always enjoyed working with me and I like feeling/knowing that we all came away with something we didn't start with. I have loved education and the process of learning since I was a child. Due to family issues, I dropped out at in the 9th grade but due to extensive reading most of my life on many subjects, and being gifted intellectually, thank God, I was enrolled in college at the age of 16. Due to my age, I lacked the discipline needed to succeed then so joined the Army at 18 and finished first in

Tanya G - Murfreesboro, TN 37129 (38.3 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $58.50/hr.
I love helping people, particularly children, reach their full potential by becoming life-long learners. Whenever I meet with a student, whether it be one-on-oe or in the classroom, I strive to identify his/her learning style and to create a connection to the lesson to his/her future experiences in the world beyond the classroom. I believe that education is the key to creating citizens with a sense of self-efficacy and a belief that one man or woman can make a differnce. While earning my MA in English, I spent two years tutoring students in English and training/mentoring other tutors. For the last two years, I have been designing and delivering trianing curriculum. I have plans to return to Middle Tennessee State University in January 2012 to earn my PhD in Math and Science Education.

carl m - Manchester, TN 37355 (39.7 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I constantly evaluate my success in communication of the course material to the students. I believe that everyone who is motivated to learn, will learn, and will learn the skills imparted well. I think about my own teaching style and its impact on student learning. I continuously tailor my teaching of information to the student to accommodate the learning needs of the students. I have a master’s degree from the University of Tennessee in physics. I have extensive experience in mentoring various University and Air Force Academy cadets and engineering interns during the summers of 2005 to 2009. I have established professional experience in developing interesting presentation skills; writing detailed and informative technical papers/reports concerning work efforts.

Andrea R - Gallatin, TN 37066 (40.7 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $38.50/hr.
It has been said that no one rises to low expectations. I believe that every child CAN learn, but that the process of teaching each child must vary depending on their learning style. Tutoring gives teachers the unique advantage of having students one on one, and allows us to truly discover what methods work best for those students. I have been teaching and tutoring students of all ages for the last ten years. Having graduated with a BA in English, I have learned much about writing and the writing process that I believe could help students at all levels. I have tutored students in English, reading, science, social studies, math, music, and French.

David J - Bethpage, TN 37022 (41.1 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $37.50/hr.
One of the things I enjoy most about teaching is seeing the progression of young students as they grow as humans and as learners. Knowing that I actually had something do with their successes at this particular time in their lives makes me feel really good about what I do. My teaching style is one that is usually calm and laid back. I always try to understand BEFORE I'm understood. Always restating their questions, and being willing to talk about things other than school every now and then helps them to become comfortable with me. In order to be effective, I have to be approachable. As a music teacher and band director, organization has always been key. Students can expect me to know right away whether they practiced or studied throughout the week or just the night before the lesson. I teach students to own their successes as well as any other outcomes. They have the ability and I simply

Patricia S - Spring City, TN 37381 (45.9 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $31.50/hr.
I enjoy teaching and working with children. I do believe that all children can learn - some differently than others. I try my best to be patient, easygoing, and encouraging. My goal is to open a child's world to new adventures, possibilities, and opportunities. It is exciting to see a child learn and discover new ideas or ways of processing information. A good educator provides discipline and can make a difference in a person's education. I believe I make a difference of the lives of my students. I am a teacher of great experience. Having taught in the private and public schools, I have been given opportunities to work with a variety of achievers - from handicapped to gifted. I have tutored in all academic subjects except higher high school and have an amount of expertise in the reading area. I have a B.S. in education from Union College in Barbourville, KY, and a M.A. as a read

Roy S - Dayton, TN 37321 (48.5 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $35.50/hr.
I am a graduate of Bryan College with a degree in Music Education, having taken many education classes and completed a semester of student teaching at the elementary and high school level in Rhea County schools. My prior experience in teaching comes from over 5 years of teaching piano lessons to beginning through advanced students from age 4-adult. While at Bryan, I was a tutor for music theory students as well as assisted and edited English and literature papers and essays. I have a great love of teaching and guiding young people in their academic studies. My approach to teaching or tutoring is open and involves as much personal encouragement as I can. I believe it is essential for the student to have a desire to learn in order for retainable education and it is essential for the teacher/tutor to encourage this desire as much as possible through teaching practices and activities.
