Nancy O - Rutland, SD 57057 (33.9 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $32.50/hr.
I have worked with children of all ages and enjoy helping them learn. I realize that everyone does not learn at the same speed and am very patient and understanding. I believe that all children have the right to a quality education and over the years have spent as much time as I could helping any child that needed that extra one-on-one. Each child has their own unique personality and a teacher's approach needs to be fit to that student's needs. Learning is fun and all children deserve the chance to learn. I was not able to obtain a teaching job when I graduated from college so went to work in the field of business. My jobs included: private secretary to a County Judge, bookkeeper, loan processor for a savings and loan, receptionist, cashier, manager, assistant librarian and owner of an electric motor repair business. These experiences have given me a wide under-standing of the bus

Beth W - Sioux Falls, SD 57106 (40.1 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $33.00/hr.
I have had seven years of experience in working with children of all ages. While attending the University of North Dakota, I was employed at a child care center where I taught children from nine months to five years of age. I completed my student teaching in Sioux Falls and substitute taught in the district from December 2007-May 2008. During my substitute teaching experience, I was given an opportunity to obtain a long-term position in a resource room. This experience really allowed me to see to the diverse group of learners there are in the Sioux Falls School District. My other substitute teaching experiences gave me a chance to view different lesson plans and think quickly to become creative in my teaching strategies. It has always been a passion of mine to help enhance the level of interest children can experience in the educational world. I have a desire to reach out to diverse

Brandon B - Sioux Falls, SD 57106 (41.2 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I try to present a concept or fact in several different ways so that I can resonate with the students thinking style. I have been told that I am a very good communicator and educator and can make concepts that seem complicated look much simpler and more comprehendible. If you've ever looked at the Khan Academy website, were Sal Khan makes little You Tube videos on all sorts of math and science topics, you will see a very similar method to how I educate . I worked as the department tutor for a first semester calculus based physics course at my university. I also graded undergraduate physics homework for second semester calculus based physics. Throughout my undergraduate education, I worked as a research during the summer and post graduation, I spent continued school for a year as a graduate student. Then I took a year off to see the world as a consultant. Now I'm planning on going b

Tim M - Sioux Falls, SD 57104 (44.2 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I really enjoy ideas. One of my favorite things is to see someone make a connection for the first time between two ideas or concepts. I enjoy teaching through dialogue and conversation. I have a gift, I'm told, for analogies, and for explaining things in ways that enable people to understand new or complex ideas. My goal in teaching is always to help the students make personal connections with the material, and to show them how the "theoretical" topic of study intersects their life in a real, practical way. During my time at the University of Missouri-Columbia, I earned two degrees: a BA in Philosophy and a BA in Theater. I also took many writing classes, focusing on different types of creative writing, from fiction to poetry to playwrighting. When I graduated in 2002, I spent several years in Barcelona, Spain working with college students. During that time, I tutored students in

Kendell F - Brookings, SD 57006 (45.1 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $35.00/hr.
Learning is my passion, and helping others realize the importance of education is an important goal of mine. I approach teaching as a helper and guide rather than a lecturer; I feel that most learning takes place when a person figures out the problem on their own with help understanding the theory behind the issue at hand. Everyone can learn, it is just a matter of how and where the learning takes place. As your child’s tutor, I will work hard to help him understand and learn the skills necessary to succeed. As a graduate from South Dakota State University, I received a liberal arts education where I majored in Political Science and Global Studies with focus areas of history and religion. In December of 2009, I earned a Bachelor of Arts, which focus’s on the humanities with a heavy influence on writing. Through composition courses and research for term papers, I have come to love th
