Leona G. - Vallejo, CA 94590 (7.6 mi) - Grammar Tutor - $42.50/hr.
In an effort to conjure mutual respect, I approach each student more like a peer rather than a teacher, although they know who is an charge. With my elementary students, I have been known to kick a soccer ball around with them or read them a book... schedule permitting. "Play time" is my pro bono contribution after a good lesson. University of California-Berkeley graduate in individual major titled "Diplomacies to End the Division of Europe-1949-1990." Tutored English to German students in Germany, and returned to America to "give back". Specializing in one-on-one tutoring with resources and interactive activities found on the internet as well as worksheets on paper.
I am very patient and have a record of success with my past students. They have averaged a 25% increase in test scores after a minimum of 4 lessons to a maximum of 10 lessons.
Looking forward to gaining my teachi

sienna m. - Concord, CA 94521 (8.9 mi) - Grammar Tutor - $32.50/hr.
One of my favorites. Im very helpful with learning and correcting the grammar technique in english writing. I am also very professional with editing and proof reading works of writing needing to be turned in for college. I continously tutor ages k-12, college students and international students. I have been tutoring for five years and enjoy sifting out the difficulties. Many students have trouble absorbing the material and many students read the curriculum abstractly. I help my students with processing the material easier so that we can progress efficiently. I am very proficient with teaching my students to understand rather than just finish the activity or problem. I pay very close attention to the learning style of my students. I make sure they are focusing and learning rather than copying my teachings.

Elizabeth G. - Richmond, CA 94804 (11.9 mi) - Grammar Tutor - $25.00/hr.
Have tutored adults and teenagers with reading; vocabulary, grammar, and writing; work one-on-one with students at their pace in a relaxed setting (library or public place preferred). English is my specialty because my background is in writing and mass communication. I have worked at a daily newspaper as an editorial assistant and I also have written freelance articles about jazz (and music in general) for publications such as Jazziz; Jazz Now; Windplayer; and the Alameda Newspaper Group. My style is structured yet easy going and patience exercised.

I have been an employee of the Solano County Office of Education working with Special needs students for the last ten years as a Para Educator.

Amy M. - Oakland, CA 94605 (15.1 mi) - Grammar Tutor - $90.00/hr.
I can teach grammar, and I can also edit your work for grammar and punctuation. I assess the student's level of mastery by listening to parents, communicating with the student (in whatever appropriate way needed) and then doing some basic testing. Once the student is assessed, I design a learning environment and activities that coincide with the student's specific strengths, while adding some elements of challenge. I tend to work in a very focused way for 10-15 minutes, and then add in tactile activities (like Bannana Grams for example) for 10 minutes or so, in order to maintain the student's attention. Children and youth who are struggling to read and write get patient assistance to learn the words correctly. My work will improve writing techniques (including essays and basic writing skills), reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and literary creativity. For younger children I
