Leslie F. - Knoxville, TN 37921 (5.9 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $37.00/hr.
Social Studies is a personal favorite subject for me to both learn and teach. I believe in meeting a student at whatever level he or she is ready to work. I am friendly and like to develop a personal relationship with my students in order to know how to serve them better. I use technology as appropriate. I began my career teaching music to students in grades K-8. I have always loved the Special Needs students and thus chose to pursue my Master's degree in the Special Education field. My first Special Ed. assignment was for ADHD and LD students in 7th grade Math and Language Arts. From there I have progressed to being the Lead teacher in inclusion settings as both the regular education teacher and the special education teacher. I am experienced in interpreting testing results and IEP writing and would willingly serve as an advocate for your chile and advocate. I am currently teachin

Sam p. - Knoxville, TN 37919 (9.6 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $35.00/hr.
My style of teaching has a practical approach. I focus on what the student wants to get out of our time together and their goals. I have both a Bachelors and Masters degree in Accounting. After receiving my masters in 2005, I went on to work in public accounting for 5 years where I gained experience as an auditor working for a Big 4 CPA firm. Part of my job responsibilities were to develop and coach new staff while on the job. This requires teaching them how to apply their accounting knowledge learned school as well as teaching them accounting principals that were both new or forgotten. During that time is when I discovered that I loved to teach, and I have been tutoring privately ever since. My work experience also includes working as a tax consultant and a business analyst for two different private companies here in Knoxville. That said, I am confident that my background and experience

Trudy R. - Alcoa, TN 37701 (16.7 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $21.50/hr.
While teaching at Maryville Children's Academy in Maryville, Tennessee, I created learning activities for the Kindergarten Readiness and Four Year Old students. I also created the 2012 Space Curriculum for the preschool system. During my Internship/Student Teaching experience at Donald Yates Primary School and Ocooe Middle School I taught various subjects in the second grade, and I also taught Social Studies and Science in the sixth grade. My teaching experience in the Ocoee Middle School sixth grade Social Studies class inspired me to create my Master's thesis Gate Trippin': An Unorthodox Curriculum Guide to an Ancient World. While designing the guide, I created learning strategies based on ideas from Stargate SG-1 to teach sixth graders about Ancient Egypt. While I attended Mount Olive East Church of God, I tutored children of various grade levels. As an Education Assistant and Substi

Hands on learning with a lot of learning activities. I have done a lot of tutoring. I have tutored people for the past 4 years.

I took this class for about two years.

Jonathon E. - Sevierville, TN 37876 (35.3 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I excelled in this subject, never earning below an "A" average. I have mentored various people since 2000, in all types of subjects, including math, science, social sciences, English, writing, literature, and other related subjects. My academic record is very strong, and I believe empowering those I work with every single time. The only pre-requisites are that you have to be willing to learn, and learn how to learn. I like to use the Socratic method, mainly by asking questions and challenging assumptions. In addition, I like to engage those I teach, challenging them to think about what they previously have not considered. I believe in building on successes, and offering constructive criticism, where appropriate.

Heather R - Powell, TN 37849 (1.6 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $39.50/hr.
I have a comprehensive background in both early childhood, elementary, and secondary schools. As a special education teacher, I am familiar with a vast range of student needs and current research-based practices to be used within the classroom. This knowledge has enabled me to grow as a professional, while allowing my students to thrive at his/her education level.
While teaching in New Mexico, I taught using "English as a Second Language" models and strategies to non-native English speakers. This allowed for my delivery to be fine-tuned in a way that is more extensive based on individual need.
I combine my experience and education in a style that serves to enhance learning, while being committed to professional development. I am currently tutoring online and working independently for an educational assessment company. As a special education teacher, I have a passion for students who

I am and always have been an avid reader. I learned to speak well from my mom who was an English teacher. As a naval officer and training analyst I have developed some skill at writing. My undergraduate college degree is a B.S. in Agricultural Education. This degree included a fair amount of science and so I am qualified to teach biology, chemistry, vocational agriculture, and horticulture. My graduate degree is an M.S. in Educational Administration.

Cathy K - Knoxville, TN 37912 (4.9 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $34.50/hr.
I love teaching both school-age students and adults. I believe the three most important qualities a teacher can bring to a student are expert skills in the areas being taught, patience, and optimism. I truly believe all students can learn, and I provide a safe atmosphere that encourages risk-taking (the willingess to make mistakes for the benefit of learning), exploration and expansion of background knowledge, and the progressive acquisition of new material. With guidance, a student can construct knowledge and own it. This is far more important and complex than just imparting information. A good teacher can make all the difference in the success of a student. My backgrounds in special education (BS), adult GED preparation, and nursing (AAS - RN) have helped me develop into a patient, skilled, and compassionate teacher/tutor. I have a strong instructional foundation in basic math, pre-alg

Lance T - Knoxville, TN 37912 (6 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I received my BS in Accounting 1988. While getting my degree I was involved in the on campus tutoring program. I have tutored students in, accounting mathematics, philosophy, marketing, business law, finance, and religion. Since graduating from college I have had several training opportunities in various jobs. These jobs have given me a wide range of experience in training (tutoring) a wide range of people with various levels of education, and their ability to grasp the information required for the job. I have passion for teaching others what I have learned. My work experience and education have given me a great deal of knowledge and I want to pass that along to others that may benefit from it. In working with students one needs to have the ability to connect with that student at their level of understanding. This can be different for every student, and the tutor needs to adjust to the s

Kimberly R - Knoxville, TN 37921 (6.4 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $36.50/hr.
When getting my Bachelor's degree, English was my chosen major. I chose the subject because I love to read and write, and excel at both of those things. In high school and college, I tutored middle and high school - aged children. I was able to find and help those kids because my parents were teachers; thus, so were their friends who needed tutors. As a professional editor and writer, I have the experience necessary to help these kids grasp one of the harder languages, English. French was my language in high school and I took Russian in college. I plan on participating in an acclerated program to learn Spanish next summer. My teaching style is very matter-of-fact and flexible. Some students learn by listening, others by reading, and still more by doing. It is my job to determine which students need which type of teaching. It's important to never let the student feel I am judging his abil

Joy R - Knoxville, TN 37912 (6.4 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $35.50/hr.
Assuming that most students would rather be anywhere than an English class, I listen to their interests of the moment and then relate them to my goals. I explore their previous knowledge and build on that, avoiding either boring them or talking over their heads. I listen, we laugh, and then I reel them in, constantly showing them how my goals are relevant to their ultimate desires. Fast, if not immediate, feedback is essential to keeping students motivated, as is elaborate explanation of why they scored what they score. Therefore, students see themselves as in control of their own learning, with a benevolent and knowledgeable mentor easing them along. I have taught English to students at levels from seventh graders through college freshmen. My M.A. in English Literature equipped me to inspire both eager and reluctant students to write and read with confidence and capability. As a reporte
