Anthony D - Santa Fe, NM 87506 (8.5 mi) - Literature Tutor - $33.00/hr.
In teaching I am basically a generalist and humanist. My background is in mathematics and the sciences, but with a solid foundation in the humanities. Practically, I have never stopped learning something new and in addition to my formal credential I have done university course work in languages, forestry, animal husbandry, and sports training. I believe my teaching style is one in which I help students make associations by way of discovery and interconnections. Much of mathematics can describe the natural world and I attempt to make mathematics both interesting and fund by drawing on these associations. I have worked in both industry and government working on a worldwide basis with people of varying cultural backgrounds. I have traveled extensively in my profession. Over the last several years I have been involved with several business and working extensively with the Native American pue

Felicia C - Santa Fe, NM 87501 (19.6 mi) - Literature Tutor - $36.50/hr.
My philosophy for effective education is comprised of six components creativity, character, culture, civic capacity, shared governance and student centeredness. I believe student centeredness is the trunk and the other components are the branches. Each component is connected to the other and they share common characteristics. For me teaching is about making the connection for students between the literature, writing, piece of art or media and their lives. By using the six components I can facilitate the learning process and enable my students to find a thread of meaning in the lessons I present. I believe that education is exciting and enriching to a students life when lessons don’t consist of memorizing facts, but examining the entire context of a work. I have classroom experience at the elementary and secondary level. While working on my AA degree I worked at a high school in a Languag

Nancy O - Santa Fe, NM 87501 (19.6 mi) - Literature Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I'm passionately interested in encouraging students to find personal connections to their education, so that they are actively engaged in their own learning. Engagement is essential for meaningful education. I also try to understand what approach will work best with a particular student: what are his interests? his strengths? how does he learn best?
There are no simple formulas; but once I understand my student's interests and learning styles and have established a caring relationship, I use my experience and intuition to help him learn. I have extensive experience in education in a variety of learning environments. I began my apprenticeship in academia as a peer tutor for the College of Santa Fe's Student Support Services/TRIO Program (program of academic support for first generation, low-income students and students with learning differences or physical disabilities). I tutored studen

James S - Santa Fe, NM 87507 (20.1 mi) - Literature Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I start by making sure the student has a basic understanding, than expanding their understanding and knowledge while encouraging questions and discussion.
Classes I have taught tutored and instructed:
Accounting Basics Management Wine Appreciation
Journal Entrees Structure and Organization
AP/AR Theory
Correcting Balance Sheets Customer Service Training
Chart of Accounts Marketing
Excel Classes Product Cycles
. I believe that people learn the most when they start to question, WHY? It is important to assure the basics are laid out for a solid foundation for the understanding and learning to build upon and from.

Mary Patricia R - Santa Fe, NM 87507 (21 mi) - Literature Tutor - $57.50/hr.
My style of teaching, especially with tutoring, is to find out
what kind of learner my student is: tacit, oral, or verbal.
Then the lesson style can be geared to that, while leading the student to become more aware of the other abilities and options.
Also, it is imperative that students understand why they are learning what is being presented to them. Cause and effect leads
to greater awareness and more objective, analytical, and critical
thinking. Creating a reason and success in learning, making it
practical and fun can lead any child to want to continue to
grow in any area of interest, and tie that back to other skills
which my not be so appealing at this point in their life. I have taught and been certified in four states. Grades 7-9 is the level I prefer, though I have taught at the Junior College level also. History is my major, and having spent much of my

Mary Ann L - El Rito, NM 87530 (21.8 mi) - Literature Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I believe that students need to be challenged. When they are highly challenged, they really produce. In my tutoring experience, my students' test scores rose two grade levels in ten weeks because they were challenged. Previously, these students were thought to not be able to speak, read, or write English, and were pre-testing at very low grade levels. For the first three years out of the university, I was a school librarian, and was board certified K-12 by the Washington State Board of Education as a result of this experience. From 2006-2008, I have been tutoring writing at Northern New Mexico College, from 4th grade remedial level through college papers in all subjects. I am presently working in an Upward Bound program for 9th graders, to help increase their study skills.

Janet H - Santa Fe, NM 87507 (21.9 mi) - Literature Tutor - $37.50/hr.
As the first in my family to earn a university degree, I have a strong connection with students of all ages who need educational support. I have more than 20 years of experience teaching English and writing to a diverse range of learners from middle school and high school to PhD research students. While working full-time, I have earned a BS in English Education, MA in English/Non-fiction Writing, and a PhD in English/Writing so I understand the demands students must juggle as they try to educate themselves. I have also worked as a free-lance writer and editor and have published articles, stories, and poetry. I am a patient, student-centered facilitator of critical thinking and writing skills. With specific training in writing pedagogy, I see the best results in small groups or with individuals when the process of writing can be explored through creative catalysts designed around the spe

Jennifer F - Santa Fe, NM 87508 (28.6 mi) - Literature Tutor - $39.50/hr.
I believe that listening is a key to helping a student succeed in a subject matter that may not come easily to them. Building on a child's strengths and trying to find a "way in" that makes sense to them is a good strategy. Using creativity and "outside the box" approaches to learning can help a child access their latent abilities. Writing is such a powerful tool, not only for self-expression but for changing the world and for success in many professions-- I try to highlight the importance of writing to students' lives whenever possible, to connect the writing process (and literature) to their passions and to get them excited about it. I have extensive experience teaching all aspects of English, writing and composition, grammar, and literature. I have taught at University of New Mexico for the past seven years during my graduate work, and as a part-time instructor. In my teaching I commo
