Ellen F - Des Moines, IA 50322-1650 (32.6 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $34.50/hr.
I am a patient teacher who strives to identify goals and help learners achieve those goals. People learn in different ways, and I have background experience in determining what works best and applying those methods. A teacher's positive, encouraging attitude is key to learning success. I taught English at the secondary level for 17 years (2 years - jr high, 15 years - high school) in Iowa (12 years), Texas (4 years), and Ohio (2 years). I taught all English curriculum courses over time, with a focus on composition, speech communication, American & British Literature, and World Literature. In addition I directed plays and coached students for speech contests. I earned an MA degree in English/Business & Technical Communication.I have worked in the business world as a technical trainer, technical writer, business analyst, and project manager.

Dawn B - Des Moines, IA 50310 (33.3 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $35.00/hr.
The majority of my teaching and tutoring experience has been in English and Math. During college, I worked in the on-campus tutoring center for 4 years, focusing primarily on Math. After graduating, I spent 4 years in China teaching English and training others to teach English as a Foreign Language. I also took on a number of private English tutoring jobs during those years, including several helping students prepare for the essay portion of the SAT exam. After returning to the States, I worked as a substitute teacher at the middle and high school level, filling in for whatever subject was needed. I currently read and score essays for the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) exam. I like working one-on-one with students, helping them to identify what they already know about a subject or topic and then logically building that up, step-by-step, into what they need to know. F

Michael W - Des Moines, IA, IA 50310 (33.9 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $36.50/hr.
My approach for each class is to focus on the text and do exercises that give students the opportunity to work with the text first-hand. I focus on troublesome areas and I spend many hours planning each class. I prefer to let students come up with their own decisions, and craft their responses into the key ideas of the lesson. I believe that flexibility is key, and this strategy makes the students feel comfortable with discussing and thinking on their own terms. I am currently a teaching assistant for the Simpson College English Department. I selected the books for the semester, drafted the curriculum, and I instruct classes. I also hold advisory office hours. I teach poetry, fiction and nonfiction.
In addition to these things, I am a poet and fiction writer with a high level of experience and craft, and can assist students in expressing themselves creatively.
