Sara N. - League City, TX 77573 (18.4 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $32.50/hr.
I have taught at both the middle and high school level in the subject of English. Within that broad subject I have taught World Literature, British Literature, Creative Writing, Rhetoric, Composition and more. I am currently a Professor at San Jacinto College where I teach collegiate level Composition. I have a hands-on approach to teaching. It is my desire to facilitate a student's own ability to self-teach, to solve and understand new problems as they occur. This type of teaching will not only improve whatever English and reading skills needing improvement, but will also translate into all other aspects of their education and life.

Tutor Certification.
Syndicated columnist. My style is age-appropriate: I modify my approach to accommodate age, learning level, personality and a combination of abilities and interests. My philosophy is that it is the instructor that should make adjustments on behalf of the student, not the other was around. Any good teacher can accommodate any student with the ability to understand people. Experience includes teaching in public and private schools prior to and following tutor certification. Research for Tutor Certification focused on the study and analysis of adult learning problems stemming from poor learning and education experienced of youth. The study included exchanging past negative experiences for positive ones which substantially increases current abilities and progress. College Algebra students were in the study. While my credentials include college level learning, my expe

Mimli G. - Sugar Land, TX 77478 (43.4 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $22.50/hr.
Having taught for more than five years as a certified teacher, I feel that I have what it takes to be an educator. Understanding the psyche of the student is of prime significance to me, which helps me in directing the teaching strategies and techniques. In order to let the student realize the significance of learning, I try to design a curriculum that is application based. I prefer that the student understands the purpose behind learning. In order to achieve my goal, I spend quality time in talking and developing an effective communication platform. I avoid doing rote learning. Therefore I make the worksheets and lesson plan as application based as I can. Some techniques and strategies are also employed on occasions.

Melanie W - Houston, TX 77097 (38.5 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $44.50/hr.
I believe the key to academic success is ensuring the student feels a sense of accomplishment and pride in self. My method of teaching focuses on determining the best learning style and beginning with lessons that will bring about success, and then challenging the student gradually. I try to make learning fun, while encouraging questions and an "out-of-the-box" approach to problem solving. The ultimate goal is to develop an independent and motivated learner. I currently work as a professional science/health writer, and I have a keen grasp of literature comprehension, grammar, and composition. I have tutored students in English, math, and science. Additionally, I have volunteered as a soccer coach, Sunday school teacher, and "Hands-On Science" instructor in the classroom. I previously taught private swimming lessons and piano lessons for children.

Katherine S - Houston, TX 77006 (38.5 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $38.50/hr.
After finishing my undergraduate work, I served in the Peace Corps for over two years. During this time I worked with various groups in the areas of elementary education tutoring, ESL for children and adults, and small-business training. When I finished the Peace Corps I was awarded a scholarship/fellowship to Duquesne University, where I completed my Master's degree. During this time I worked half-time with a nonprofit. At the end of my fellowship this nonprofit offered me a teaching job in conjunction with West Virginia University. I recently returned from a service-learning (study abroad) trip that I led in Mexico. I have tutored children, and taught university students and adults for over 3 years. I love teaching in a one-on-one environment. I think that this environment makes it easier for teachers to be empathetic towards learning blockades. Last year I trained at a writing center

Courtney R - houston, TX 77077 (45.5 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $42.00/hr.
As a graduate of Texas Southern University, where excellence is our motto, I was driven to acheive excellence in biology. I earned my BS in Biology in December of 2009, which has enabled me to gain understanding in science and math. I have also learned during my time at TSU to write and gain skills in writing due to writing lab reports and many essays along the way. During the last five years I have had a chance to tutor a few of my fellow biology majors in biology. Teaching and working with children I believe is a passion one must have it can't be acquired. All children can learn and can find a joy in the learning process if they are guided well. I am patient and easy going with all especially children of all ages. I believe all children have the right to the best education possible. My goal is to provide and serve the children in the quest for educational excellence.

Kelly G - Houston, TX 77095 (56 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I have trained adults for about 5 years in total both in a business and education setting. I have taught/tutored students for 3 years in total. My strengths truly lie in my ability to teach writing and grammar. I can teach this from the elementary to college level. I have extensive experience writing research papers and essays in my own college career. I have also taught writing to students. I really try to find out how the student learns best as well as what the student specifically is having issues doing. I then try to target those areas of weakness using methods that appeal to how that student learns. I very much like to incorporate the use of technology to make the job easier and more engaging for the student whenever possible.
