Chad H. - Oak Ridge, TN 37830 (9.9 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I taught High School US, World and European history to grades 10 - 12. I taught AP European History and Government. I taught Geography, Civics, and Psychology for 5 years. I have owned my own construction firm for 10 years and worked in manufacturing. My specialty is European History with an emphasis in the classics. My literature background is not formal but is extensive. I have always emphasized the immeasurable distinction between education and schooling. Although the two are not necessarily mutually exclusive, in our era they are more and more. I strive to draw a student into a fascination with learning. If that occurs, then education is a fait accompli.

Leslie F. - Knoxville, TN 37921 (10.1 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $37.00/hr.
Social Studies is a personal favorite subject for me to both learn and teach. I began my career teaching music to students in grades K-8. I have always loved the Special Needs students and thus chose to pursue my Master's degree in the Special Education field. My first Special Ed. assignment was for ADHD and LD students in 7th grade Math and Language Arts. From there I have progressed to being the Lead teacher in inclusion settings as both the regular education teacher and the special education teacher. I am experienced in interpreting testing results and IEP writing and would willingly serve as an advocate for your chile and advocate. I am currently teaching grammar and composition to college level students. I believe in meeting a student at whatever level he or she is ready to work. I am friendly and like to develop a personal relationship with my students in order to know how to

Sam p. - Knoxville, TN 37919 (12.9 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $35.00/hr.
My style of teaching has a practical approach. I focus on what the student wants to get out of our time together and their goals. I have both a Bachelors and Masters degree in Accounting. After receiving my masters in 2005, I went on to work in public accounting for 5 years where I gained experience as an auditor working for a Big 4 CPA firm. Part of my job responsibilities were to develop and coach new staff while on the job. This requires teaching them how to apply their accounting knowledge learned school as well as teaching them accounting principals that were both new or forgotten. During that time is when I discovered that I loved to teach, and I have been tutoring privately ever since. My work experience also includes working as a tax consultant and a business analyst for two different private companies here in Knoxville. That said, I am confident that my background and experience

Vinila B. - Knoxville, TN 37922 (14.6 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $22.50/hr.
I have tutored with elementary, middle, and high school students in all levels of math, science, english, and social studies. I have tutored for around 3 years, and I see success with the kids that I work with because I know how to engage and effectively teach them because I was their age not too long ago! I teach through repetition, practice, and patience. I want to help the student to the best of my ability, and will adapt to the learning style he/she finds most effective.

I have done a lot of tutoring. I have tutored people for the past 4 years. I tutored a little boy with special needs and have taken a class back in high school called "peer tutoring".

Trudy R. - Alcoa, TN 37701 (19.5 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $21.50/hr.
While teaching at Maryville Children's Academy in Maryville, Tennessee, I created learning activities for the Kindergarten Readiness and Four Year Old students. I also created the 2012 Space Curriculum for the preschool system. During my Internship/Student Teaching experience at Donald Yates Primary School and Ocooe Middle School I taught various subjects in the second grade, and I also taught Social Studies and Science in the sixth grade. My teaching experience in the Ocoee Middle School sixth grade Social Studies class inspired me to create my Master's thesis Gate Trippin': An Unorthodox Curriculum Guide to an Ancient World. While designing the guide, I created learning strategies based on ideas from Stargate SG-1 to teach sixth graders about Ancient Egypt. While I attended Mount Olive East Church of God, I tutored children of various grade levels. As an Education Assistant and Substi

Jonathon E. - Sevierville, TN 37876 (40.3 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I excelled in this subject, never earning below an "A" average. I like to use the Socratic method, mainly by asking questions and challenging assumptions. In addition, I like to engage those I teach, challenging them to think about what they previously have not considered. I believe in building on successes, and offering constructive criticism, where appropriate. I have mentored various people since 2000, in all types of subjects, including math, science, social sciences, English, writing, literature, and other related subjects. My academic record is very strong, and I believe empowering those I work with every single time. The only pre-requisites are that you have to be willing to learn, and learn how to learn.

Heather R - Powell, TN 37849 (6.9 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $39.50/hr.
As a special education teacher, I have a passion for students who have more specific challenges or needs related to the learning process. Thus, I am an advocate for differentiated instruction and have experience meeting the challenges of these students.
My delivery has provided multi-modal instruction to students with special needs both individually and within classroom settings. Students’ disabilities ranged from severe to mild. Support was provided in both small groups and in team taught classrooms.
I have experience teaching and tutoring students in Language Arts, Literature, Social Studies, and Math based on students’ abilities. I have a comprehensive background in both early childhood, elementary, and secondary schools. As a special education teacher, I am familiar with a vast range of student needs and current research-based practices to be used within the classroom. This kn

Kathleen S - Knoxville, TN 37931 (8.1 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $35.50/hr.
Presently, I work as a teacher's assistant in special education. I earned a BA in English Literature from one of the finest private colleges in the Southeast. Maryville College encourages students to be life-long learners who seek cumulative growth through experiences. I am a published author and have organized and researched an original thesis paper. As a teacher's assistant, I work with learning disabled students in areas such as reading literacy and logical distinctions in meaning of symbols and signs in language. I have tutored children with various health disabilities such as ADD and ADHD as well as students with low spectrum autism. Education is the process of guiding children or adults in the experience of learning meaning of things. In other words, teaching words without establishing a proper sense of the meaning of those words dulls the intellectual life. I believe everyone

William H - Knoxville, TN 37932 (9.1 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $40.00/hr.
My teaching style can be called old-fashioned: the best results come from patient, focused, disciplined time on task. To learn math one must work a variety of problems, and practice them diligently. My strength as a tutor is my ability to explain the algorithms in a way that students can easily grasp. This includes the vitally important requirement of why the problem is worked the way it is, not simply how. I taught high-school math for 14 years, everything from Pre-Algebra to Calculus, in both public and private schools. I also have extensive writing experience, including for many newspapers, and am currently teaching Political Science at the Community-College level. Thus, I could tutor math, and/or any subject or assignment that required verbal and writing skills. I tutored UTK athletes in math and philosophy, and proctored Pre-Calculus at UTK as well.

Cathy K - Knoxville, TN 37912 (9.4 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $34.50/hr.
My backgrounds in special education (BS), adult GED preparation, and nursing (AAS - RN) have helped me develop into a patient, skilled, and compassionate teacher/tutor. I have a strong instructional foundation in basic math, pre-algebra, basic geometry, nursing math, anatomy and physiology, essay writing, English usage, and learning disabilities. As a published author, I know the importance of careful proofreading and editing skills and am well able to apply this knowledge with my writing students. I love teaching, learning, and researching. Working with students gives me the greatest job satisfaction I've ever experienced. I love teaching both school-age students and adults. I believe the three most important qualities a teacher can bring to a student are expert skills in the areas being taught, patience, and optimism. I truly believe all students can learn, and I provide a safe atmosph

Kimberly R - Knoxville, TN 37921 (9.5 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $36.50/hr.
When getting my Bachelor's degree, English was my chosen major. I chose the subject because I love to read and write, and excel at both of those things. In high school and college, I tutored middle and high school - aged children. I was able to find and help those kids because my parents were teachers; thus, so were their friends who needed tutors. As a professional editor and writer, I have the experience necessary to help these kids grasp one of the harder languages, English. French was my language in high school and I took Russian in college. I plan on participating in an acclerated program to learn Spanish next summer. My teaching style is very matter-of-fact and flexible. Some students learn by listening, others by reading, and still more by doing. It is my job to determine which students need which type of teaching. It's important to never let the student feel I am judging his abil

I am and always have been an avid reader. I learned to speak well from my mom who was an English teacher. As a naval officer and training analyst I have developed some skill at writing.
