Vernon M. - Buffalo, MO 65622 (17.8 mi) - Composition Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I have tutored off and on since high school, and have been a substitute teacher for all grades for the last six years. I excel at spelling and grammar, and had a classical education in literature, Latin and Greek. Because of this classical education, I have been able to teach in-depth,and to share the etymology of many English words with students and teachers alike. I graduated from college one year early, having tested out of all my general studies, which freed me to take independent studies classes, such as in Chaucer and Middle English. I engage the student with questions and illustrations. I am big on gentle correction and encouragement. I know the difference between Latinized English and real English, and I share this with my students. I know grammar is something one can't prescribe, just describe.

Robert J - Marshfield, MO 65706 (36.7 mi) - Composition Tutor - $37.00/hr.
My strongest subject is algebra (commutative, homological, or abstract). My degree is in general mathematics so I experienced most forms of mathematics at a high college level. I began tutoring as a freshman in high school. Professionally, I have spent ten years in management in four different industries. I have been told that I explain things well. 1) Give the person you are turtoring an opportunity to tell you where they are having a problem.
2) While working through problems monitor the person you are tutoring to see if there are other problems.
3) Suggest changes. Never force them. There isn't one correct way. Make a suggestion on how to improve and explain why you are making the suggestion.
4) Do multiple versions of a similar problem. The first time I will complete the problem, explaining each step. The next time the person I am tutoring will guide me through the problem, t

Ellen S - Springfield, MO 65806 (38.7 mi) - Composition Tutor - $33.50/hr.
I have no teaching experience in the traditional sense. I have been working in the writing center at the University for the 2008-2009 school year. I have been able to assist several students with grammar and sentence structure issues. These issues include, but are not limited to, development of the thesis statement, parallel structure, and paper organization. I find it thrilling when I am able to help the students to transform a D paper into an A paper with a little guidance. I have 20 years of experience as a nurse, I returned to college to pursue a career that involved writing. I am about to graduate this May with a BS in Professional Writing with a Biomedical Science minor. I have had classes in Scientific and Technical Editing in which I excelled. I have an eye for detail and am oftentimes referred to as a grammar Nazi. I love the language and I love to write. I am the go-to- girl wh

Ryan T - Springfield, MO 65802 (39 mi) - Composition Tutor - $38.50/hr.
Although I have only been teaching in a classroom setting for the last two semesters, I have spent a great deal of time teaching friends and fellow students over the years. I am very patient and able to adapt to the student with whom I am working. I am a firm believer that learning, and learning math especially, is not a spectator sport and that a great deal of practice is required to fully understand most material. I do my best to provide a helping hand with that practice. Throughout high school and college, I performed at an academic level well above average. As a result, I often found myself helping my fellow students. As part of my graduate assistantship at Missouri State, I work in the math tutoring lab several hours a week, tutoring (primarily) algebra and calculus students. I also teach MTH 102, which is approximately equivalent to high school Algebra II. I also have a great deal

Stephanie F - Springfield, MO 65802 (39.1 mi) - Composition Tutor - $39.50/hr.
When I do teach others about English, I try to understand the way in which they learn. For example, if I were describing the usage of a word, I would explain it, and then use different examples. Once I found which way they best understood, I would expound upon that explanation.
Because I enjoy learning about English and using it properly, it gives me great pleasure to pass my knowledge to others. I believe that having strong English skills, spoken and written, is important in expressing our opinions and knowledge. I do not have any direct experience teaching or professionally tutoring in English. However, I am very proud of my English skills, and I look for opportunities to help others develop theirs. I entered one year of tutoring experience because I believe that I have equivalent experience through assisting others with their class assignments or professional documents. I hav

Linda K - Springfield, MO 65804 (39.7 mi) - Composition Tutor - $35.00/hr.
With 28 years teaching experience, I help struggling students blossom in Math. I love tutoring and can recognize road blocks in a student's mind that we can remove together for successful achievement. High School Algebra and Geometry were the subjects I taught most often, but I have tutored students expertly through courses as advanced as College Algebra. I also have GED experience tutoring in both Math and English, and ACT Test preparation. Tutoring is a joy! I truly embrace the challenge of each learner and try to discover the best methods and practices to help each child or adult meet his/her goals. Frequent follow-up questions to verify understanding, variety of techniques, encouragement and reviews combine to produce the effective strategy I have developed. I work creatively to get the learner down the road to success.

HOLLY H - SPRINGFIELD, MO 65807 (39.8 mi) - Composition Tutor - $34.50/hr.
Earlier on in my college education, my plan was to apply to Law School at MU, the university I was attending at that time. To apply, one was to have a Bachelor's degree in the area of their choice. I have always been fascinated by people . . . the way they think, how they learn, why they do what they do, etc., so I chose to major in psychology. Toward the end of my Bachelor's degree, my husband and I started a family, and the more and more I thought about things, the stronger I felt about choosing a career that was more conducive to family life . . . so I changed career paths and chose to become an elementary teacher. I transferred here to MSU (to be closer to my mom, who could help with the baby while I attended classes). At that time, I finished my degree while taking classes toward Post-Bac Teaching Certification. When I graduated in December, I had a degree in psychology, as we
