Ian S. - El Cajon, CA 92020 (12.1 mi) - High School Journalism Tutor - $32.50/hr.
I am what you might call a camp kid. I grew up spending summers in the mountains, camping and hiking and when I grew older, working. The foundation of my leadership experience was built in the forrest. For six summers I worked as an outdoor educator and adventure guide, leading groups of students through week long trips into the natural world. I believe in experience as the greatest teacher. Students are empowered when they learn from their experience and begin to flourish in themselves.
At university, my enthusiasm for the outdoors lead me to the arts. I took a particular interest in poetry and short stories and immersed myself in literary life at UCSD. I was often asked to facilitate writing workshops and discussion groups, and in doing so I've found tutoring to come quite naturally to me.

gloria s. - Carlsbad, CA 92008 (29.6 mi) - High School Journalism Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I have taught all core subjects plus art history for over 20 years using various state mandated materials and supplementals I purchased through special ed catalogs. Student outcomes were best with the supplementals due to limited attention span and high interest-low level materials. I use various methods to determine mastery- I create my own written or verbal assessments, writing assignments and have students maintain learning journals.
I have a background in educational psychology which is useful in dealing with students with behavioral issues. I work through positive behavior supports, humor and style to motivate the student to understand the need to learn the core subject matter in order to proceed through high school. I am excellent at reading the needs of the student and creating lessons that are relevant, interesting and fun.

John M - Coronado, CA 92118 (1.1 mi) - High School Journalism Tutor - $43.00/hr.
I have extensive teaching experience at all levels from my years spent in Germany. I taught at the level of technical colleges (Technische Hochschule Bremen) high school and grade school (Schulzentrum Obervieland). I have exzperience in teaching both a specialized form of language instruction (English for electrical engineers) and general languages. I have found teaching beginners to be extremely rewarding because there is no basis to build on. Everything they can write or say was taught to them by me, and it is extremely gratifying if they feel challenged and motivated to continue to learn the subject I taught them in. As far as teaching languages goes, I believe in immediately beginning in the language and doing all instruction in that language. Translation should be minimized at the start, although it will have its place much later at an advanced stage. The challenge of making this ap

Douglas W - San Diego, CA 92101 (2.9 mi) - High School Journalism Tutor - $45.00/hr.
After a career as a highly successful jewelry designer and manufacturer I sold my company and became an English teacher. I
have always been interested in literature and journalism and while at university I participated in theater and was managing editor for the school newspaper. I began my teaching career at one of the toughest schools in Los Angeles and after following my science teacher wife to San Diego I have enjoyed several long term substitute positons with AP students at the High School Level. I have taught English now for six years to a full range of diversified students from grades six through twelve. As a teacher my biggest thrill is helping students reach their goals with clear understanding. Not all students learn the same and so good teachers must have many stategies for diversity in the classroom. With verbal and social skills that elicit trust, I have an ability to teach

Holly B - San Diego, CA 92102 (3.2 mi) - High School Journalism Tutor - $45.00/hr.
I am an enthusiastic and seasoned professional who is passionate about the value of quality human service with a natural affinity to assist, advocate and encourage. I am an active listener and my strength lies in building effective loyal relationships. These qualities, and the high value I place on education give me the structure needed to be a great teacher. I am also patient and forbearing, realizing that each of us learns in our own unique way and at our own pace. As a liaison, I handle difficult situations with tact, diplomacy, flexibility, humor and understanding, and would apply those attributes to the learning experience in order to make it a positive, successful and even joyful, undertaking for student and teacher. I raised three wonderful children, and then went back to college, graduating with honors from Northwestern University. I have life experience in a wide variety of

Guy M - San Diego, CA 92106 (4.4 mi) - High School Journalism Tutor - $47.50/hr.
I am a patient teacher that understands that some concepts are not easily understood and simply repeating yourself without changing your tack will not bring about understanding. Providing real world examples that are relevant to a student's interests is one powerful way to encourage learning. With regards to math and science, I've often found that abstract theoretical concepts are more difficult to understand, whereas practical examples are more easy to visualize. Whenever possible, I try to create scenarios that apply in the real world so that the student can understand and apply the concept in the future. I am a synthetic Organic Chemist with over 7 years of industrial experience with Pfizer Inc. During this time period I routinely shared research progress with my peers and helped educate them on new reactions, instrumentation, techniques and methodology. During my studies at Kala

As a graduate of the University of Puget Sound, I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in English studies as well as a minor in Biology. I spent a year in college editing the student newspaper, in which I furthered my strong writing and editing skills. During my job at a legal education organization, I wrote and released press releases, managed an online newsletter, and researched and developed position papers. Following that, I achieved my teaching credential. I teach 11th and 12th grade English, inspiring students to become better readers, writers, thinkers and speakers, and prepare them for college. My tutoring, work, and teaching experiences, along with my strong writing and editing experience, have advanced my skills and strengths. My teaching style is student-centered. This approach is two-fold. I use scaffolds to assist in the discovery process, but encourage students to truly perform

Emily C - San Diego, CA 92103 (4.6 mi) - High School Journalism Tutor - $53.00/hr.
I am warm-hearted and intuitive. I will listen carefully to what you say about your tutoring needs before I look at the work you are doing and offer my analysis of how you can make your language stronger, clearer and more persuasive.
I have raised two children who have financed their college educations through scholarships. What I learned from them is that learning is best when YOU do it. I can guide your steps and give you feedback, but everything in between will come from you, and that is exciting!
We will be a winning team, you and I! Working with hundreds of college students to improve their writing, from academic essays in all subjects to college applications puts a big smile on my face. When they report to me that they received 'A' grades or acceptance to the college of their choice, we both know they have sharpened the tools which will energize their futures.

Juliet H - San Diego, CA 92116 (5.8 mi) - High School Journalism Tutor - $44.00/hr.
As a Master’s degree recipient in English, I have developed a comprehensive background in literature and composition. Moreover, my professional history includes many years of teaching and mentoring in both in the United States and abroad, which has enhanced my ability to communicate complex subject matter to a culturally varied student demographic. In Taipei, Taiwan, I prepared, facilitated and assessed English classes for local elementary, secondary, and adult Taiwanese students. While receiving my NCLB certified CLAD credential from SDSU, I served an inner-city population of students as a student teacher at San Diego High School, during which I had implemented and practiced effective teaching strategies to accommodate students with special needs and English Language Learners. I have since earned a CSET certification in general science and have designed technologically advanced units of
