Kyle S. - St. Louis, MO 63139 (50.2 mi) - GRE Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I worked in the financial sector for 10 years and have a Master's Degree in Economics and Finance. Since then I have focused my efforts into freelance teaching, and have worked with students in a variety of subjects: chess, math, finance, language arts, history, piano, and writing, among others. Other subjects I’ve studied informally: literature, language, history, politics & government. I believe that each student has a unique learning style of that must be discovered in real-time. Therefore I tailor the lessons towards an open, organic, collaborative process. I focus on small incremental steps designed to build momentum and flow states, which is the best way to start anything. The goal of any lesson is to bring the student to a place where they can learn on their own. The purpose of learning is fun!

Andrew B - St. Louis, MO 63118 (47.6 mi) - GRE Tutor - $58.50/hr.
I know exactly what teachers and administrators are looking for in “good writing,” but this isn’t something that I was born with or that came naturally—it is a learned skill that my own teachers have cultivated by building upon the skills I brought to the classroom. As such, the most influential facet of my own teaching philosophy is my commitment to respecting student intelligences. If my students are not confident in the abilities they bring with them to the tutoring session, then the likelihood of facilitating sustainable improvement in the student drops dramatically. In light of this, my tutoring style foregrounds the importance of first reinforcing the knowledge my students already have and then building off of this knowledge. After having earned both my bachelor’s and my master’s in the St. Louis area, I decided to commit myself to bettering students through education in this area.

Matthew K - Saint Louis, MO 63130 (52.5 mi) - GRE Tutor - $37.00/hr.
Not everyone learns in the same way. I try to discern how the student I am tutoring learns best, whether it's by just doing examples, or visually by physically relating the material to something easier to understand. After I have found out how best to teach my student, I am able to move forward and help them to the best of my ability. In my tutoring experience, I have always been respectful and curteous to my students. I believe that students are much more likely to confident in their learning if they feel as if they are respected their teacher/tutor. I also make sure to be supportive even when the student is struggling and then compliment them when they make great strides. As a senior civil engineering student at Washington University, I have received an outstanding education, especially in math and science. I will graduate in May with a B.S. in Civil Engineering. In the fall, I
