Mary W - Weimar, TX 78962 (24.8 mi) - Writing Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I believe the first thing you need to do is to find out what the student needs help with. At times I have used music, poetry, or
computer programs to get the students attention. Repetition is very helpful and note cards are good for memorization. Taking notes is a good way for the student to stay focused. A little comedy helps too to help students to remember. I enjoy helping students, adult or younger, feel the success of learning. Sometimes it is a struggle, but it is always fulfilling to see the relief and happiness they feel when they do succeed. My original degree was in English with a minor in Spanish. I received my teaching certification in 1979 in Secondary English/Spanish. I taught adult ESL part time for 2 years in the evenings. After a taste in this field, I began teaching in ESL and have taught 9 years in public schools. With one school district I also had a class h

John D - Bastrop, TX 78602 (28.1 mi) - Writing Tutor - $42.00/hr.
My teaching style is one in which I strive to engage students in the subject by both instructing and challenging them to think on their own. I also strive to accomplish this goal in such a manner that the student experiences the fun that is a part of learning, but one that also emphasizes the importance of the learning process as well. In all of my tutoring and teaching experiences, I communicate how critical good study habits are: self-discipline; finding a quiet place to study; punctuality; attention to detail; following the rules; etc. As a person who holds both a BA and MA in English, each with concentrations in writing (creative and technical, respectively), I am qualified to, and have for several years, tutored English language studies skills, including composition, grammar, punctuation, and reading comprehesion, to students from the third grade through college. I have also taught

Josephine K - Bastrop, TX 78602 (29.4 mi) - Writing Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I have always loved working with children and I believe I can make a positive difference in childrens' lives. Children learn through seeing, hearing, saying, feeling and doing. I try to determine which combination of learning styles are best for each individual student and then use that method to teach them the subject. I think each child wants to learn and succeed and I believe I can help them be a success. I come from a family of readers, I love to read, and I love to teach children to become good readers. I think reading is one of the most important skills one can posess and many doors open for good readers. I have 16 years teaching elementary grades 1 through 3. During this time I taught Compensatory Education for 2 years in 1st grade, 4 years in 2nd grade and 1 year in third grade. In the Compensatory Education classes I would receive the poorest readers and worked with them through

I taught all subjects for adult learners preparing for the GED tests through Region IX Education Services Center's Adult Education program for 4 years in the evenings. I also taught English as a Second Language to adults. I am an Adult reading tutor for adults who could not read.
I taught mathematics, vocabulary and biology to high school graduates preparing to take the nursing entrance exam at Vernon College.
I also taught basic computer classes in Windows operating systems and Microsoft Office Suite for Vernon College's Wichita Falls campus for 4 years. I had one or two evening classes each semester. I worked full time during the day as a Veterans' Employment Representative for Texas Workforce Commission. My teaching style depends on the student and subject I'm dealing with. For the non-reading adults I started by teaching them letter recognition and basic sounds; moved on

Annie S - Fulshear, TX 77441 (47.4 mi) - Writing Tutor - $55.50/hr.
I believe that I can offer a motivational, technological, organized teacher with the goal of enriching young minds to be well educated and well rounded students. My focus will not only be on my students' educational needs but also on their self development fostering their individual growth. I am a firm believer that all children can learn when provided with the toolls necessary and an enriching environment. I pride myself in letting students learn through self discovery while teaching them independence and confidence. At LSU and throughout my years of teaching, I was provided with numerous opportunities to work with children in many different educational settings. Not only have I been exposed to different grade levels but I have also taught gifted as well as special education students. Working with these children allowed me to understand the whole child and taught me the importance of
