Kelly S. - Alpine, CA 91901 (35 mi) - Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I have taught Kindergarten - 5th Grade general and special education for over 20 years. My passion is helping students overcome learning difficulties. In addition to holding teaching credentials, I have been trained in Orton-Gillingham, and Lindamood-Bell. My specialty is helping elementary students with reading, but I am able to effectively teach math as well. I am a positive and caring teacher. I identify a student's strengths and weaknesses, and develop an individualized plan to support them. I believe that young learners need multi-sensory instruction to be the most successful.

I believe that the most important thing you can do for a student is to empower him or her to believe in him- or herself. My approach, especially with writing, is to encourage the student's own self-expression through active questioning and dialogue about the subject matter, while also imparting the fundamental rules and how they work.

I have spent the past three years sharing this experience with my f

Matthew M - Ramona, CA 92065 (41.7 mi) - Tutor - $41.00/hr.
When I was in high school I tutored other students in science and math. In college I majored in psychology (BA University of Missouri), and then statistics (MA University of Missouri, PhD Carnegie Mellon University). I taught and tutored all levels of undergraduate statistics, with emphasis on behavioral science majors. In my classes and tutoring I met students (and classmates) from diverse parts of the world. Learning requires practice, so I emphasize practice to mastery, following Kumon. In tutoring, it is usually the case that the students can learn most of the subject without a tutor, but that each student who has difficulty has a difficulty not shared by most other students, hence not covered in class or homework. For tutoring, I learn what the students can already do well, what they can do with difficulty, and what they can't do yet, and I learn what is limiting their next pro
