Mark G. - Issaquah, WA 98029 (49.5 mi) - Geography Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I follow the method of G. Polya in his classic work "How to Solve It".
By asking the right questions, one can help the student define his problem, form a plan for the solution, carry out the plan, and examine the result.
I also try to work as many difficult problems from the student's text as time permits, in order to show that all problems have a solution, and the student can build confidence in attacking any problem.
I try to present the material in as many ways as needed, so that I can match the subject to the student's style of learning. I was a senior scientist - engineer for 37 years.
I retired to care for my comatose wife at home, and she died a few months later.
This situation has left me open to new directions.
My teaching experience has been 3 years as a graduate teaching assistant, and 2 years as a tutor to friends and family in science and mathematics.
My goal is to sh

Aurora H - Startup, WA 98293 (27.5 mi) - Geography Tutor - $46.50/hr.
I am a very flexible teacher. Over the years I have tutored small children, teens and peers in a wide variety of subjects. I am known for my ability to make difficult concepts easy to understand and the way I make dry material interesting. I prefer to work with people individually so that I can match my teaching style to their learning style. I have worked with dyslexic students and gifted students. I have worked with students that needed to work through problems slowly with lots of guidance and students that prefer to figure it out and come to me with specific questions. I started by tutoring other students in trigonometry and calculus in high school. In college I continued to tutor other students in a variety of courses including general logic, chemistry, physics and English. I have an extensive background in physical sciences: BS in Chemistry, extended coursework in geology and

Sarah C - Arlington, WA 98223 (39.7 mi) - Geography Tutor - $48.00/hr.
As the daughter of two educators, I spent my childhood immersed in educational values. My passion for education lead me to attend Western Washington University where I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education and History. I tutored Geometry and worked in several classrooms at both the high school and middle school level throughout my time at Western. After graduation, I taught seventh grade Medieval World History at Alderwood Middle School in the Edmonds School District. Through that position I not only gained experience within the middle school classroom, but also in teaching analysis within research papers and essays, basic reading, decoding, writing, and research skills with an incredibly diverse population. While it is my belief that all students have the ability to learn; I also understand that academics can be difficult. It is my job to support students who, for whatev

Janna G - Snohomish, WA 98296 (43.4 mi) - Geography Tutor - $43.00/hr.
As it has evolved over the years, my teaching style has become a mix of facilitation and direct instruction, with the goal always being the student's making his own discovery. I was trained in the Socratic style, which seems to match well with inquiry-based learning, and that is how my classes usually end up. I introduce activities, then gradually release them to the students to lead. Over the last 15 years, I have worked in various different areas. First, I taught adult ESL, and had occasional tutoring gigs with Russian speakers learning English, and some English speakers learning Russian. Currently, I work as a special education teacher. Part of my job is to work in small ratios with honors students who have disabilities. This "study skills" class often requires one-on-one tutoring.

Gail D - Snoqualmie, WA 98065 (44 mi) - Geography Tutor - $43.00/hr.
I enjoy coaching and encouraging anyone to learn. I am enthusiastic and enjoy seeing "the light bulb" come on. I believe everyone has the capability to excel, and I understand that there are several learning styles. I work to help the student discover their learning style/s and happily adapt to their way of learning. I am patient and thoughtful of the student and their needs. I seek to help the student discover how and what to do and eventually 'own' their ability to learn and be self-driven. As seasoned home school teacher, I have educated my children for the past 17 years. I have worked with all age groups from kindergarten through 12th grade, teaching and mentoring one on one. I have the experience of teaching all the elementary level subjects for four of my five children. I have also taught the high school level subjects to three of my five children. I have fine-tuned organ

Russell A - Sammamish, WA 98075 (47.4 mi) - Geography Tutor - $48.50/hr.
I am a recent graduate from Washington State University and I'm currently looking for employment in the Greater Seattle area. I have a degree in General Mathematics and enjoy helping others understand the material. I will work well with high school and younger students because they would not see me as another teacher because I will treat them as an equal and not a student. I also a a minor in English and have taken many engineering classes. Although I have no professional experience as a tutor, I have helped many of my friends understand the material. I would be a good choice because I had to get help in mathematics when I was an undergrad and I know how to relate and help the students that are having difficulty in mathematics. I will work with the students and find where out where they are weakest. By doing so I will be able to give them the knowledge required to understand the material

The use of contemporary teaching strategies in teaching general chemistry can be incorporated in new developments in science education. Case method teaching can increase students' interests in studying chemistry, concept mapping deepens student understanding, Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) strategy increases the level of classroom interaction, workshop and problem-based learning provide students with an opportunity to acquire effective problem solving techniques. Teaching Experience:
Laboratory Exercises:
-> Method of chemical demonstrations (Institute of Chemistry,Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics)

Abha S - bellevue, WA 98007 (51.6 mi) - Geography Tutor - $48.00/hr.
Qualified, trained, and certified chemistry teacher; good communication skills; ability to work with secondary and post-secondary students; eager for immediate employment in a secondary school. have enjoyed teaching ever since I was a doing my bachelors degree for a private institute at allahabad, India (this involved working with more than 50 students and guiding other lab assistants also). It was extremely rewarding to see that students could be motivated to learn and understand material for which they initially had little interest. This is my favorite quotation because it expresses what, in my opinion, is the essence of science -- it is beautiful and poetic in its own right. The statement applies particularly well to chemistry, since there are so many everyday applications of this "central" science. In these few words, Spencer eloquently sums up the role of chemistry as a scientific

Lorraine T - Issaquah, WA 98027 (51.8 mi) - Geography Tutor - $48.50/hr.
I often work with students who struggle learning in the conventional classroom. I love to see my students achieve and be excited about what they accomplish. My tutoring style is to listen to the student to discover the root of the problem that is blocking learning. Understanding the student, their frustrations, and their learning style is crucial to assisting them. Discovering what methods work best with each student can become key. Making the subject real and applicable to their world also brings great results. I never under estimate the effect of enthusiasm and a since of self-confidence to boost learning, and strive to bring both to the experience. I have 25 years of experience as a classroom teacher. I have also taught students in small group and 1 to 1 settings. I have a passion for education. My current teaching certificates are in Elementary Education, Physical Education, Remedial
