Janae K. - Salinas, CA 93901 (11.5 mi) - Creative Writing Tutor - $45.00/hr.
I hate lecturing! I do! This is why my tutoring style is very interactive. I don't like talking AT a person, I prefer to have a conversation. My goal as a tutor is to make subjects interesting, and also to make sure they stick- so you can do well on exams. I also teach study skills in every session, so ideally you won't have to rely on me forever. I try to give students tools that they can use to teach them how to teach themselves- something they'll have to do if they're considering college. I have worked as a tutor for 10 years in all subjects, especially focusing on ESL learners. Recently, I have worked in an ESL school (FLS International) with university age students seeking to matriculate into American Universities. Before that, I worked in South Korea teaching English. While employed at these schools, I also work part-time as a tutor- mostly for middle and high school age st

Mary V. - Santa Cruz, CA 95060 (32.2 mi) - Creative Writing Tutor - $22.50/hr.
I have experience being an English tutor to four different families during my time abroad in Barcelona. My students varied in age, the youngest being seven and the oldest being 13. This experience allowed me to better understand students at all different levels and what teaching methods children at different ages better respond to. I also have experience using my passion for art as tools of learning. I have experience teaching drawing and painting as tools of stress relief and of memorization. I also tend to encourage students to read and help to kickstart their overall motivation for learning and discovering by tapping in to their creative as well as academic sides.

Delmer C - Monterey, CA 93940 (0.9 mi) - Creative Writing Tutor - $42.00/hr.
I generally read what a student writes, then suggest better and smoother ways of saying the same thing. I also like to eliminate as much unnecessary words as possible. Of course I also point out errors in punctuation and spelling. In addition to earning a B.A in English from Asbury College, I have had several years experience writing articles (paid) as well as writing a book. I also worked as the writer/editor for the website content of a local tech company.

Kelly S - Carmel, CA 93923 (2.6 mi) - Creative Writing Tutor - $47.00/hr.
After earning my BA and CA Teaching Credential in English, my love for the language and subject drove me to complete my MA in English and Comparative Literature in less than two years. Such an intense program demanded that I not only be highly organized, but that my analytical, writing, and verbal skills be immensely effective, as well. Consequently, I successfully translated these abilities to the many students I have taught and tutored over the past six years. Although I have instructed students in all the humanities (even basic French), my expertise is in English composition (essay writing) and the development of critical thinking skills regarding English literature. My former high school students used to tell me how much they appreciated my patience with them; modestly, I would have to agree with their assessment. I believe that individuals process information in different ways, and

Jeannene B - Marina, CA 93933 (6.7 mi) - Creative Writing Tutor - $57.50/hr.
I love teaching students to discover the answers to questions and problems that otherwise eluded them. I am a firm believer in student-centered learning, meaning the students are given the opportunity to research, discover, and progress through various techniques. Providing the appropriate learning environment is essential for a student to fully experience their potential. Therefore, I gladly provide each student with information that will give them the opportunity to produce better study habits and test taking abilities. I believe using these tools will provide students with a life long learning advantage that will follow them through all aspects of their lives. As an educator, I have been given the opportunity to teach in various venues and modalities. Through these opportunities I have taught adults, children and teenagers using many techniques and styles.

Mary S - Salinas, CA 93906 (12.7 mi) - Creative Writing Tutor - $46.50/hr.
As a graduate, I've been very blessed to have received a degree in Business Communication. In college I learned how to become a better educator, and communicate with them on the highest level. Although, I tutor in all of the academic areas, I also enjoy helping my student appreciate the art of becoming a good writer, and thinkers. My students are also encouraged to read for relaxation, and entertainment. Making the education process fun is also an asset. The extensive course work, I received in college has enabled me to teach others to become academically proficient. Teaching can be a most wonderful adventure. I believe every child can learn. At times students or overwhelming with new concepts, and they need to be encouraged, and praise until they can accomplish the task at hand.

I enjoy working with students of all ages. As a teacher, there is nothing greater than to see my students succeed. I am more results-oriented and I encourage students to work persistently until they have accomplished their goals. I am friendly, patient, and easy going.

Caitlin O - Aptos, CA 95003 (22.8 mi) - Creative Writing Tutor - $47.00/hr.
I have always been very fond of learning; I received a BS from California State University Monterey Bay and a MA from Monterey Institute of International Studies. Both degrees focused on environmental policy and Spanish. I tutored writing with an emphasis on science and policy for 2 years with the CSUMB peer tutoring program and volunteered with Monterey County Reads as a reading assistant for children K-3 during my undergrad and graduate education. I volunteered abroad as an English teacher in rural Ecuador in the summer of 2009, graduated from MIIS in 2010, and moved back to Ecuador to teach English. I have tutored English reading, writing, and ESL for 3 years, but I also have a strong background in the sciences and Spanish language. As a tutor I feel it is my job to provide students with the extra help they need in reaching their educational outside of the classroom. I have always bee

I care about students and I love helping them develop skills that will benefit them in the future. I believe in recognizing that each child is an individual and that each child learns at his/her own pace. I am extremely patient, easy going, considerate, flexible, punctual, and organized.

paul s - aptos, CA 95003 (24.2 mi) - Creative Writing Tutor - $47.00/hr.
In 2009, I completed a profession editing certificate to add to my degrees in English and rhetoric. Because of this experience, I am confident teaching and tutoring the humanities (English, history, philosophy, etc.) at high-school and college levels. For two years, I have taught all subjects as an aid in a fourth and fifth grade special day (SDC) class. This experience has taught me effective ways to teach difficult material to young learners with particular learning needs. I am comfortable lecturing on various subjects. However, I have seen the best results with repetition and continual reinforcement of the subject matter while weaving in larger ideas here and there. I am calm, patient, persistent, and supportive of everyone's particular abilities.
