Jonathon E. - Sevierville, TN 37876 (15.7 mi) - Reading Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I am an avid reader, having read thousands of books. My reading interests are wide and varied, and involve numerous styles, from authors as wide-ranging as Mark Twain, James Joyce, Charles Dickens, Alexander Pope, and Chaucer, to name a few. I have mentored various people since 2000, in all types of subjects, including math, science, social sciences, English, writing, literature, and other related subjects. My academic record is very strong, and I believe empowering those I work with every single time. The only pre-requisites are that you have to be willing to learn, and learn how to learn. I like to use the Socratic method, mainly by asking questions and challenging assumptions. In addition, I like to engage those I teach, challenging them to think about what they previously have not considered. I believe in building on successes, and offering constructive criticism, where appropriate.
