Isabel G. - Renton, WA 98059 (33.8 mi) - World History Tutor - $20.00/hr.
When I teach, I try my best to be open minded, and to give choices to the student, rather than follow a closed-box cookie cutter curriculum. I've found it's important to find a personal way of learning for a specific student.
Variety is important, because every child learns a little differently. Some kids learn by listening, others by seeing. Some kids learn only when they're making things.
Encouragement and recognition when progress is attained by the student is a great incentive. I'm currently a student in school who has had a wide range of experience in various different subjects, specifically working best with mathematics, science and language arts in the elementary and middle school level. I'm familiar with I've been doing my best to educate myself in as best as I can, not simply for the sole purpose of filling a resume, but for the sake of learning.

Mark G. - Issaquah, WA 98029 (35.8 mi) - World History Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I was a senior scientist - engineer for 37 years.
I retired to care for my comatose wife at home, and she died a few months later.
This situation has left me open to new directions.
My teaching experience has been 3 years as a graduate teaching assistant, and 2 years as a tutor to friends and family in science and mathematics.
My goal is to show how math and science can enrich one's life and these subjects are nothing to fear. I follow the method of G. Polya in his classic work "How to Solve It".
By asking the right questions, one can help the student define his problem, form a plan for the solution, carry out the plan, and examine the result.
I also try to work as many difficult problems from the student's text as time permits, in order to show that all problems have a solution, and the student can build confidence in attacking any problem.
I try to present the material in as man

Elena S. - Bremerton, WA 98311 (54.4 mi) - World History Tutor - $50.00/hr.
I am a speech therapist with 11 years and experience. I have worked with students pre-k through 12th grade, primarily pre-k through 5th grade. I have extensive experience working with students on reading comprehension, answering and asking questions, semantics of language (antonyms, synonyms, multiple meanings of words, attributes, categorization), syntax, grammar, phonics and much more! I have mainly worked with kids with disabilities, including autism, developmental delays, communication delays, speech and language impairment, and Down Syndrome. I have also worked with students on math skills.
I am also very comfortable with tutoring in areas such as GED preparation, as I am good at math, reading, writing, science and history. I use the iPad (excellent resource) books, worksheets and materials I make to fit the situation.

Avrielle C - Enumclaw, WA 98022 (15.3 mi) - World History Tutor - $42.00/hr.
As a teacher's-assistant for children ages 4-6 I have been able to gain experience working with them one on one and in whole groups for almost two years. This has taught me the value of identifying with the child's unique learning needs in order to encourage and drive their academic success. I believe children need patience from their tutors, steady encouragement, and to be in a positive environment that allows them to feel comfortable, focused, and ready to learn without distraction. The importance of good and fun learning early on is so vital to children, and I believe it is our duty as adults to encourage this on a daily basis. I have a B.A. in Technical Theatre. This knowledge in the backstage end of theatre deals greatly in literature, particularly the study of dramatic writing. Having already a strong knowledge of English studies this experience has further aided my skills in gr

Amelia C - Puyallup, WA 98373 (24.7 mi) - World History Tutor - $40.00/hr.
My teaching style, derived from a one on one approach as both a home tutor and teaching assistant, is simple: provide an open environment in which pupils feel free to ask any question. The most important aspects of tutoring are positive reinforcement, repetition, and assisting students as they develop confidence and learn to grasp and utilize the skills necessary to their academic and personal development. I feel that my personal education and tutoring experience is perfectly suited to developing a rapport with students while maintaining a professional teacher/pupil relationship. My experiences as a home school instructor for my children at the secondary level of education, as a personal tutor for SAT and GRE test preparation, and as a teaching assistant at the university level have provided me with the requisite skills to assist students at various levels of education. In addition to pr

I love to help all ages in need of a little help passing there classes and/or understanding what they are being taught in school. i am a very dedicated, motivated, patient, and considerate to the fact that results are not always immediate and that some time it takes time. my goal is to provide children and young adults with the opportunity to feel proud and satisfied with the fact that they are just as smart as others and were able to pass. i can only hope that my help with these kids lives help them to enjoy learning and feel a sense of self accomplishment My drive for knowledge enabled me to complete three degrees by the age of 22.

Russell T - Tacoma, WA 98443 (29 mi) - World History Tutor - $37.50/hr.
As a graduate of Pacific Lutheran University I thoroughly enjoyed the quality education experience I received and would like others to have a quality educational experience as well. Through earning a Bachelor's degree in history and a Minor in Spanish I have learned many important skills that allow me to help others learn as well. As a history major I learned the importance of paying attention to the details, the skills to research, the process of gathering evidence to support a claim, the writing process, and many other valuable lessons. As a Spanish minor I have a thorough understanding of Spanish grammar and speaking skills and was a Spanish tutor at PLU. My objective as a tutor is to instill confidence in those I help in their ability to learn and succeed in an academic environment. Having confidence in the ability to learn allows a person to be a lifelong learner and use their learn

Nathaniel W - Kent, WA 98035 (30.4 mi) - World History Tutor - $43.50/hr.
I believe that instilling the confidence to learn is the key to effective instruction. Students need confidence not only in their instructor’s mastery of the subject matter, but also in their own ability to gain their own such master. This is not to suggest that rigor should not be applied, but rather that a student must have an emotional engagement with the learning process and a sense of their own progress, however minimal it might seem at a particular time. Frustration is the primary obstacle to successful learning and overcoming it is the instructor’s chief task. From 2005 to 2008 I worked as a teacher and tutor for a Seattle-based test preparation firm. I taught classes for the SAT and GRE and tutored the SAT, GRE, and ACT. I believe I met and exceeded the high standards set by this organization. In 2008 I worked as a regional field director for the Obama campaign in several states,

Brandon S - Tacoma, WA 98422 (31.2 mi) - World History Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I graduated from the University of Washington last year with a BA in Journalism. I've also received an AA Degree from Highline Community College. Unlike many Journalism students, I have experience in arithmetic like algebra, pre-calculus and calculus. I've tutored students in math and writing, from first graders to college peers. I am a very patient, hands-on style of tutor. I take the time and try to explain things to people who have a hard time understanding. I try to gage what the student is struggling with and also what they do understand, so I can quickly pinpoint their troubles and focus on the problem issue. Some kids need more explaining, others need a picture drawn out for them. I am good at finding what method people learn best with.

Mark B - Federal Way, WA 98023 (33 mi) - World History Tutor - $42.50/hr.
I present the information or concepts at hand in several different ways. I draw on the learners personal experiences to make the information or concepts relevant to them. I help the learner tie the information or concepts to their own knowledge base thus establishing ownership. I tutored for the Federal Way, WA campus of DeVry University from spring of 2007 to fall of 2008. I tutored students in English, multiple maths, programming, game design, logic, and test prep. I stopped tutoring to devote my time to the final project of my degree. Now I'm an independent video game developer tutoring to make "ends meet" while I'm working on my first commercial game project.

Gail D - Snoqualmie, WA 98065 (33.5 mi) - World History Tutor - $43.00/hr.
I enjoy coaching and encouraging anyone to learn. I am enthusiastic and enjoy seeing "the light bulb" come on. I believe everyone has the capability to excel, and I understand that there are several learning styles. I work to help the student discover their learning style/s and happily adapt to their way of learning. I am patient and thoughtful of the student and their needs. I seek to help the student discover how and what to do and eventually 'own' their ability to learn and be self-driven. As seasoned home school teacher, I have educated my children for the past 17 years. I have worked with all age groups from kindergarten through 12th grade, teaching and mentoring one on one. I have the experience of teaching all the elementary level subjects for four of my five children. I have also taught the high school level subjects to three of my five children. I have fine-tuned organ

Thomas F - Ft Lewis, WA 98433 (34.1 mi) - World History Tutor - $44.50/hr.
I will be upfront, I was known as a firm, but fair, teacher. I see science as a field primarily learned through doing, and I enjoy performing science demonstrations with my students to help illustrate new concepts. At the same time, I expect students to attempt to solve problems on their own, as opposed to simply memorizing how I solve problems. While it is sometimes difficult at first, I find it gives them confidence to approach future concepts and ideas both in and out of the specific science course. As a high school teacher, I facilitated the instruction of approximately 100 students in Chemistry in accordance with Massachusetts Learning Standards. Developed and implemented course curriculum for the Forensic Science course, including labs featuring gun shot residue testing, urinalysis, and DNA electrophoresis . Supervised the after-school chemistry tutoring program for all high school
