Janae K. - Salinas, CA 93901 (16.1 mi) - Composition Tutor - $45.00/hr.
I have worked as a tutor for 10 years in all subjects, especially focusing on ESL learners. Recently, I have worked in an ESL school (FLS International) with university age students seeking to matriculate into American Universities. Before that, I worked in South Korea teaching English. While employed at these schools, I also work part-time as a tutor- mostly for middle and high school age students. Many of my students struggle with time management, and this is a main focus in my tutoring sessions. I hate lecturing! I do! This is why my tutoring style is very interactive. I don't like talking AT a person, I prefer to have a conversation. My goal as a tutor is to make subjects interesting, and also to make sure they stick- so you can do well on exams. I also teach study skills in every session, so ideally you won't have to rely on me forever. I try to give students tools that the

Christian D - Salinas, CA 93908 (13.8 mi) - Composition Tutor - $46.00/hr.
Having taught in Australia, France, Japan and the United States, I have gained a unique understanding of different school systems and teaching methodologies. I particularly enjoyed the smaller private school settings with motivated learners. All the same, I believe that my years in the public sector served to improve my organizational and management skills. I am known for providing critical thinking activities as a supplement to the core material in my math classes. Students appreciate my project-oriented lessons. I am a recent retiree with 33 years of teaching in both private and public institutions. I have had the pleasure of working on four different continents, primarily as a math and French instructor. Among my various accomplishments, I would include my year in France as a Fulbright exchange participant. After teaching French for my first dozen years, I then acquired a supple

Navarre S - Seaside, CA 93955 (16 mi) - Composition Tutor - $47.00/hr.
I enjoy working with students, regardless of their age or capabilities. I am a patient and understanding individual who strives to provide what students need to succeed. My method revolves around helping students find their own voice, to question and think for themselves, and to guide them in discovering and making decisions of their very own. Individuality is key for success in a students' education. I also incorporate the prior knowledge and background experiences students have to further their understanding of the world around them, as well as their education. I currently hold a BA in Human Communication with a concentration in the Single Subject Waiver in English, which has provided me with the experience necessary to tutor in reading, writing, literature, and technology. I've worked for a year as a Notetaker for several disabled college students, volunteered 70+ hours as a teacher's

Delmer C - Monterey, CA 93940 (17 mi) - Composition Tutor - $42.00/hr.
I generally read what a student writes, then suggest better and smoother ways of saying the same thing. I also like to eliminate as much unnecessary words as possible. Of course I also point out errors in punctuation and spelling. In addition to earning a B.A in English from Asbury College, I have had several years experience writing articles (paid) as well as writing a book. I also worked as the writer/editor for the website content of a local tech company.

Kelly S - Carmel, CA 93923 (17.4 mi) - Composition Tutor - $47.00/hr.
My former high school students used to tell me how much they appreciated my patience with them; modestly, I would have to agree with their assessment. I believe that individuals process information in different ways, and it is my responsibility to understand the best method to help a student successfully learn. In addition to being patient, I am creative, courteous, composed, and an effective communicator. With my acute attention to detail and calm persistence, learning (specifically, writing) becomes less daunting, more tolerable, and even enjoyable. Anyone can learn if permitted to do so in a positive environment and with the proper tools; I enable such an experience as a knowledgeable and conscientious tutor. After earning my BA and CA Teaching Credential in English, my love for the language and subject drove me to complete my MA in English and Comparative Literature in less than two

Deborah M - Monterey, CA 93940 (17.6 mi) - Composition Tutor - $51.00/hr.
Having grown up in Costa Rica attending a bilingual school, I am fully fluent in English and Spanish, and tutored language learners often in high school and college. I received my B.S. in Biology from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo where I was involved in the Science Education club, and assisted in several university and state-funded after-school programs for middle school students. After college I immediately went into a PhD program in Ecology & Evolution at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where I maintained a 4.0 GPA, and taught undergraduate Genetics and Ecology labs for one year. I am currently working towards my bilingual Single Subject Teaching Credential and a Master's degree in Education. I believe in a student's capability to reach his or her goals, and find that students are much more rewarded through a learning experience in which they use their previous knowledge to arrive a

Melissa A - Pebble Beach, CA 95039 (17.7 mi) - Composition Tutor - $43.00/hr.
Working with children of all ages is one of my greatest joys. My post graduate work focused,and continues to focus, on methods of instruction that create life long learners and teaching from each student's needs and motivations. Students possess multiple strengths, interests, and desires and it is my goal to access those attributes to spark interest and success in learning. All children can reach their potential and beyond when given the opportunity to succeed. In my twenty three years of teaching experience, I've sought cutting edge technology and methodology training. My career has included teaching all grades, K-8, either as the classroom teacher, summer school demonstration teacher, substitute or English language arts teacher. In the last ten years, I've been an English language arts teacher in grades six and eight at Stevenson School in Carmel and in the Sandwich Public Schools

Lysa F - Marina, CA 93933 (18 mi) - Composition Tutor - $47.00/hr.
In college, the focus of my degree was creative writing and social action. I gained extensive experience researching, writing narrative and informative papers and determining how to use the information most effectively. My creative work has been presented locally and at international conferences. After finishing my BA in Human Communications, I realized I wanted a better education for my daughters than the local school district could provide. I began an in depth study of educational philosophies and concluded that homeschooling would be in their best interest. Through educating them, I realized that I have a love for teaching. Over the course of several years, I have tutored children in creative and non-fiction writing. I have also tutored children with dyslexia using the Barton System. I believe in a multi-sensory approach to learning. All children learn in their own way. My job as a te

Jeannene B - Marina, CA 93933 (18.5 mi) - Composition Tutor - $57.50/hr.
I love teaching students to discover the answers to questions and problems that otherwise eluded them. I am a firm believer in student-centered learning, meaning the students are given the opportunity to research, discover, and progress through various techniques. Providing the appropriate learning environment is essential for a student to fully experience their potential. Therefore, I gladly provide each student with information that will give them the opportunity to produce better study habits and test taking abilities. I believe using these tools will provide students with a life long learning advantage that will follow them through all aspects of their lives. As an educator, I have been given the opportunity to teach in various venues and modalities. Through these opportunities I have taught adults, children and teenagers using many techniques and styles.

michael k - Salinas, CA 93906 (18.5 mi) - Composition Tutor - $43.00/hr.
I have a very diverse background and I have many years of experience teaching in different subjects. I was an English teacher for one year in Korea, teaching children at a public school. I have taught fine art at a private school in Salinas. I have also been teaching martial arts and self-defense for over 10 years. I have worked with children as young as 4, to adults in their senior years. I hold a bachelor's degree in Business Marketing from San Jose State and I graduated with honors. I enjoy working with students of all ages. As a teacher, there is nothing greater than to see my students succeed. I am more results-oriented and I encourage students to work persistently until they have accomplished their goals. I am friendly, patient, and easy going. Although I push my students to work hard, I also like to have fun and make the learning experience enjoyable as well.

Mary S - Salinas, CA 93906 (19 mi) - Composition Tutor - $46.50/hr.
As a graduate, I've been very blessed to have received a degree in Business Communication. In college I learned how to become a better educator, and communicate with them on the highest level. Although, I tutor in all of the academic areas, I also enjoy helping my student appreciate the art of becoming a good writer, and thinkers. My students are also encouraged to read for relaxation, and entertainment. Making the education process fun is also an asset. The extensive course work, I received in college has enabled me to teach others to become academically proficient. Teaching can be a most wonderful adventure. I believe every child can learn. At times students or overwhelming with new concepts, and they need to be encouraged, and praise until they can accomplish the task at hand.

Paul K - Pacific Grove, CA 93950 (19.4 mi) - Composition Tutor - $50.00/hr.
I have devoted myself to teaching as a profession for the last fourteen years because I feel a sense of worth in what I do. I believe that my role is that of a facilitator. My job is to help students define their goals, explore the resources they have at hand to reach those goals, and facilitate the process of meeting those goals. My choice to teach also rests on a foundation of community. As a college instructor, my worth is tied to more than the success of individual students. I strive to help students become an integral part of the communities in which they live, and I celebrate the fact that I play an instrumental role in the economic, social, and educational edification of my community. I have more than 14 years of experience as a Literature, Language, Business Communications, Technical Writing, and Composition Instructor at the college level. I hold a Master of Arts degree in Engli
