Virginia B - Springdale, AR 72764 (4.5 mi) - Writing Tutor - $33.00/hr.
My teaching philosophy involves connecting with individual students. One of my strengths is identifying strong points in a student’s performance and teaching him to tap into successful facets of his/her performance.
In English, I was trained in (and advocate) “Faulkner English” as developed by Claude Faulkner and taught at the University of Arkansas. This method employs a certain amount of deconstruction of sentences, beginning with the most simple, and can be geared to any level.
In French, I do use some repetition, and, yes, memorizing conjugations, as a means of making material available to the student. I also use linguistic games, skits, simple verses and play, when appropriate. I have taught either French or English, either in the classroom or as a private tutor, since 1989, when I was recruited as an undergraduate to teach Elementary French. For the next 5 years I taught all le

Edmund R - rogers, AR 72758 (5.2 mi) - Writing Tutor - $41.50/hr.
For me, teaching is a calling, a passion, something you have to love. After a successful career in private industry I was unhappy and missing something. After some soul-searching I realized my dream and became a teacher. I feel that the teacher should help facilitate the learning experience for the student. I believe in setting the bar high and helping the student reach their full potential. My teaching style involves a variety of model to best fit the learning style of the student. It has been my experience that tying in what you learn about into the world today and applying that knowledge is key to student engagement. I became a teacher after 10 years in the private sector. I taught in California in the Westminster School District for 12 years (2 as a substitute/non-contract and 10 under contract). My subjects have included language arts, social science, and U.S. History. I have develo

Michelle M - Lowell, AR 72745 (5.8 mi) - Writing Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I absolutely love learning and helping others accomplish their goals (just ask my husband, who I've helped hold down a full-time job while going back to school). I also love studying for tests and make exam prep fun. I am very organized and motivational. I have a knack for making a daunting task seem easy by breaking it down two small tasks and goals. I am an EXCELLENT communicator and very reliable. Your child will know exactly what is expected and will have a detailed plan for how he or she will accomplish his or her goals. I am an award-winning journalist and editor with 10 years of experience. I graduated from the University of Kansas with a bachelor's degree in journalism. I also concentrated on English, political science and history while in school. While in college, I was the teaching assistant for advanced reporting and advanced editing, two capstone classes for a bachelor's degr

Regina B - Fayetteville, AR 72704 (7.2 mi) - Writing Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I am a licensed attorney and a skilled writer. I earned two degrees from the University of Arkansas: a BA in Political Science and International Relations, and a BA in Spanish and European Studies. In college I tutored for Kaplan Test Prep and for the Learning 2 Learn Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas. After graduating from law school, I volunteered as a tutor in the Austin Library Tutoring Program. I have experience tutoring students of all ages, primarily in English, reading, social science, Spanish, and elementary mathematics. I enjoy teaching and working with students of all ages. Learning happens best in an environment of mutual respect, and I am always learning from my students even as I teach them. I encourage students to think through their learning process, to ask questions, to explain things to me in their own words to promote understanding, to learn how to find informatio

Leslie C - Fayetteville, AR 72704 (7.5 mi) - Writing Tutor - $34.50/hr.
Throughout college, I held myself to a high educational standard, and maintained a 3.92 GPA. I majored in music, minored in chemistry, and completed extensive coursework in the math and science areas. Since graduation, I have worked in the chemical field, and possess a firm knowledge of the field of math and science and excellent writing and reading comprehension skills. I tutored during high school and college, and worked as a tutor in the campus Academic Support Lab during the last two years of my college career, tutoring students in the arts, music, sciences, mathematics, English, history, philosophy, and literature. I also tutored many students with learning disabilites such as autism and ADD/ADHD. I firmly believe that every student can learn, given the proper environment and instruction. I make it a point to listen to my students and try to see intellectual confusion and impas

Carla K - Bentonville, AR 72712 (7.6 mi) - Writing Tutor - $60.00/hr.
My teaching style is highly creative to borderline eccentric! I have extensive training in the various learning styles and instinctively target the student's learning style in order to make the most progress. I am a firm believer in kinesthetic learning activities and of using a hands-on, mnemonic-driven approach to teaching.
My varied background and life resume offers life experiences that I can use to expand students' varied situations. I have enjoyed substitute teaching since 1991; it was a part- time occupation that worked well as I re-entered the college scene in order to advance my AA degree to a BA in Political Science. Life and destiny urged me to earn a teacher's certification in Texas, where I later worked as an ESL 4th-5th grade teacher in the Waco (Texas) Independent School District for three years. A move to Kentucky to be closer to my aging mother resulted in si

Mitchell S - Fayetteville, AR 72703 (7.8 mi) - Writing Tutor - $34.50/hr.
While in attendance at the University of Arkansas, I earned two degrees, a B.A. in Political Science and a B.A. in American Studies. In addition to these degrees, I also earned a minor in History. As I was completing my undergraduate degree, I participated in varsity athletics, maintained a part-time job, was active in student government, and volunteered through AAO. I am capable of aiding in history, geometry, algebra, and other basic courses. I love to help children learn all that they possibly can because I feel that a quality education is the great equalizer. I am easy-going, task-oriented, and very passionate about helping those who may be having trouble in learning something.

Ben N - Fayetteville, AR 72701 (8.7 mi) - Writing Tutor - $53.50/hr.
The primary obligation of a tutor is to show the pupil that big, intimidating chunks of academic work, whether they be assignments, units, or even entire classes, can be broken down into logical sequences of more manageable parts. To accomplish that, I focus first on my demeanor. When struggling in school, it is easy to panic, and if the tutor is relaxed, calm, and deliberate, then that catches on and the session can proceed in a level-headed manner. Also, I make sure that the sessions are reliably structured. We look first at the syllabus, then at the assignment at hand, and articulate what exactly needs to be accomplished. After that, we lay out a road map and proceed in a step-by-step fashion until the work is done. By the completion, in May, of my graduate degree, I will have taught 45 hours of undergraduate English courses in Composition/Rhetoric, Business Writing, Literature,

Michael L - Fayetteville, AR 72701 (9.5 mi) - Writing Tutor - $39.50/hr.
I have tried to apply a balance of patience and diligence to my teaching. I am always hoping for maximum results but, realize that learning is up to the individual and each person has a different learning experience. Being sincerely interested in a student's progress and success has no substitute. It is one of the most powerful resources a person has as a teacher. I graduated from Henderson State University with a BA degree in sociology and since then I have worked in residential treatment facilities as a therapist, a teacher, and tutor or councelor. I am currently a CASA volunteer in Fayetteville, assisting children who need advocacy in the court system. I have been a freelance writer here in Fayetteville for many years and have had much of my writing published. I feel that I have a strog set of unique skills to offer to this position and I would appreciate the opportunity to talk furt

Patricia J - Fayetteville, AR 72701 (9.7 mi) - Writing Tutor - $39.00/hr.
My teaching style is one of discipline and at the same time hands-on. Students must feel the relevance of the world around them in order to gain an understanding of what's being taught. I work with the individual but never let the focus off of the competition that's waiting. Students must understand that learning is an every day, every moment experience. It's all about how they see the world around them. I love teaching and working with children. The "aha" moment is what I live for. I believe that EVERY student can achieve what they set their mind to with guidance and persistence. In a nutshell, I taught high school English for eleven years. I am passionate about all facets of education in the classroom and the real world. I have much to offer my students whether it be a love of literature, grammar and vocabulary or life itself! I love to teach.

Tracey G - Fayetteville, AR 72701 (9.9 mi) - Writing Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I have a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education and I am a certified to teach pk-8th grades. I also have a masters degree in Educational Administration and Curriculum Supervision. I am completing my 7th year of teaching. In that time I have taught Kindergarten and 3rd grades in the regular school year. In the summer I have taught all grades k-5th. I also have tutored many students in every grade level up to 5th grade. I am a very passionate teacher and I feel a strong sense of responsibility for the students I teach and tutor. I work to build a rapport with my students so that they are comfortable working with me and sharing their struggles with me. My teaching style certainly changes with each subject that I teach. I know that students who are struggling usually do not need more of the same type of instruction that they received in class. I try to find different or hands-on oppo

cora l - Fayetteville, AR 72701 (10 mi) - Writing Tutor - $32.00/hr.
As a former instructor at the University of Arkansas, I am dedicated to furthering the education of others. I taught as the sole instructor for American National Government (ANG) core course for two semesters (60 students each) and was an assistant teacher for one semester in a class of 220. During my two years as a graduate student in the Public Administration, teaching ANG afforded me an amazing experience that was personally rewarding. I have earned two bachelor degrees, a BA in Political Science (with a 4.0 departmental grade average) and a BA in Geography (with a 3.8 departmental grade average). I gained grammatical and other writing skills largely through my political science and public administration studies. After studying a variety of subjects in college and graduate school, I realized that most (if not all) of the world's problems could be alleviated through better education. I
