Peter G. - San Francisco, CA 94109 (40.9 mi) - Communications Tutor - $27.50/hr.
Taught Communications 101 in San Quentin University to prisoners in the Prison University Project I taught Communications 101 to 20 "lifers" at San Quentin Prison as part of the Prison University Project. Some of these men had not been in a classroom in 20 years. I've also spent three years on the Advertising Review Committee for the California Chapter of the American Lung Association vetting all adverting, marketing and PR messaging for the marketplace. Lastly, I published my first book in 2012 entitled "Buzzkill," which is now used as required reading at Drexel University in a Psychology 101 course. It has excellent reviews and I have a blog I used to promote it. It is available on Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com and about a million other outlets. I like to involve the students in exercises instead of passively instruct. I prefer to relate lessons to things that are happening in r

Karen R - El Sobrante, CA 94803 (37.7 mi) - Communications Tutor - $45.50/hr.
My doctoral dissertation examined college-level remedial reading and writing students in an effort to determine if adding online instruction to traditional instruction would improve student performance. My dissertation explored five hypotheses, and I found statistical significance in all five; thereby supporting the notion that adding online instruction to traditional instruction can improve student learning. While I was a doctoral student, I was also a Merit Scholar. In addition to my teaching, I have also tutored elementary, high school, and college students in reading, writing, and the understanding of Literature. I have also worked a great deal with ESL students. My love of teaching is stimulated most when working with students who require the most assistance. Through my study in Educational Psychology, I have learned that all students have their own learning styles; I am able to qui

Dr William B - Berkeley, CA 94708 (42.5 mi) - Communications Tutor - $44.00/hr.
As a teacher and tutor for over 27 years, I have had the pleasure of helping students explore their potential, find their passion, and excel in their learning experiences. I have been the Editor-in-Chief of several journals, and have written more than 70 articles, so I am especially strong in aiding students in researching and drafting research papers and essays. I also have taught in the classroom for more than a decade and have a reputation of bringing out the best in students. I have a Ph.D. in law and a B.S. in Political Science, but I also have extensive experience in other fields of social science and the humanities. Students learn best when they feel vested in the process of learning and excited about the journey; it is always my goal to convey my passion for the learning experience and my partnership with the student in that process. I am a firm believer in active learning and th

Timothy P - Oakland, CA 94611 (45.3 mi) - Communications Tutor - $47.50/hr.
I approach instruction from the view that “teach[ing] a man to fish, will feed him for a lifetime”. I am committed to building on what my students bring with them, using this as a fulcrum on which to hinge their learning. This approach succeeds in helping students understand that they are capable of and even responsible for teaching themselves?–?a skill I see as a necessity in life, especially once a student can no longer expect formal instruction. In addition to my own experiences with learning several languages, I have benefited from coursework in Behavioral Psychology, which has taught me to create positive classroom atmosphere. My students note my enthusiasm for language and express appreciation for my linguistic explanations. I have spent 6 years teaching university-level German language courses and reading comprehension & writing courses. Before this, I spent 2 years as a volunteer

Chika O - OAKLAND, CA 94610 (45.6 mi) - Communications Tutor - $47.50/hr.
I am passionate, driven, funny, and determined. "I have a never-ending smile". I am a good listener. I have a strong ability to explain things in a way that will grasp the attention of someone non-versed in a certain subject. This is because I explain things in detail without making one feel inferior.
Also, I like asking the tutee questions to engage the student and to ensure that the student understands the topic. I then ask the tutee to summarize what I have said after I explain something. This is an effective way to keep the student's attention.
Overall, my goal is to tutor students so that they learn. Students are in good hands with me because I am driven to succeed. As a graduate of UC Berkeley, I have a passion of helping others. During my freshman year in Calculus, I grasped the subject matter pretty well and volunteered to assist peers with homework problems. I en
