Jamie V - Cedar Rapids, IA 52402 (22.1 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $33.00/hr.
"What do you want to be when you grow up?" The life long question...I can remember responding with teaching. Life throws you curves, and I ended up in Business. I still have the desire to educate others and want to dedicate a part of my life to that dream.
Each child has a unique way of learning. The key to success is identifying the best techniques. Once you find the correct methods, then the child can become better educated. I will strive to find the correct style, add enthusiasm, and find a way for the child to relate. I will create a system of recognition and goals. Structure helps motivate and encourage people. All children have their strengths and weaknesses. I believe it is important to emphasize on the strengths while improving on the weaknesses. I want to show my strengths and make a difference in a child’s life. Starting my Junior year of High School and continuing until gra

Helane G - Cedar Rapids, IA 52403 (23.3 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I have always been a lover of children starting in middle school volunteering at learning activities for children. Since then, I have developed skills in teaching, especially in the area of reading. I
believe children should be educated in the least restrictive environment, placing them in the situation where they can best reach their potentials. I try to engage children in challenging, interactive and reinforcing learning situations. I approach material from the visual and auditory perspectives. I am dedicated to making a learning experience productive and rewarding for the child, building skills and healthy self-esteem. I have had a passion for reading all of my life. I pursued a bachelor's degree in English from the University of Wisconsin, which I received in 1973. I have taught children of all ages and disabilities in all academic areas. I prefer working with younger students. I h

Robert O - Cedar Rapids, IA 52402 (23.5 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $36.00/hr.
My formal experience as a tutor is minimal. However I have been called upon by several friends and acquaintances to assist in academic assignments with which they had been struggling. It has been my experience (as well as that of friends in academia) that a great number of young people do not understand the nature of plagiarism, i.e., when to cite and why it is necessary to do so. Another common problem is with spelling and usage (e.g., their, there, they're), spell-check not withstanding. The study of History has given me an understanding of why these, among other things, are important matters and why young people should be instructed in them. As a student of history I tend to emphasize that nothing happens in a vacuum. People and events must be placed in a context. Understanding when and where is an important first step to understanding why, whether the subject be literature, t

Amy F - Cedar Rapids, IA 52405 (24.6 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I graduated from Monmouth College in 2007 with a BA in Spanish and a minor in English. I took all of the Education coursework there for secondary Education. I've taught Spanish one year at the University of Iowa. During this year I also worked in the writing lab, a service provided for undergraduate students who need help throughout the writing process. I am currently a graduate student in the Department of Social Foundations of Education at the University of Iowa. I have experience tutoring students in English and Spanish. I thoroughly enjoy teaching and working with all ages of students. I recognize the value of individual instruction and the positive impact that it has on students. I believe that the best teaching involves collaboration between the student and teacher and always strive to provide opportunities for students to produce knowledge and solutions, instead of passively recei

Martin L - Cedar Rapids, IA 52402 (24.6 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $35.50/hr.
With more than nine years of business experience in both Finance and Operations management and five years as a homemaker raising my four children, I have a very diverse level of experience which I will provide as a tutor. I have developed a complete battery of skills in English, Business, Mathematics and Social Sciences. Currently emerging from several years of medical disability, I have a lot to offer as I begin my return to the workforce. Tutoring is the next step on my journey. I will soon begin my educational pursuit to move to a teaching profession. Effective teaching requires goal-setting and patience on the parts of both the instructor and the student. We are a team! I am simply there to facilitate their education.
Most of what I teach is enhanced by my approach to helping the student learn. I seek to ask them to "teach" me by offering questions to them. This has proven very ef

Cheri B - Cedar Rapids, IA 52402 (25.1 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I first like to understand the student's learning style, as we all have different methods of learning. Some are visual, others do better with reading a text, or using examples. I use a variety of methods to teach my students, depending on age. I also want to learn where and why the student is struggling with the subject. I make my tutoring sessions interesting so that I capture the student's attention and thoroughly engage him/her. I am patient, understanding, and considerate of my students, instilling confidence and pride in learning. I believe all students want to succeed, and given the right tools and teaching methods, they can soar! I thoroughly enjoy working with students, and provide fun yet focused tutoring. I hold a Masters degree in Linguistics, and have teaching experience for students of all ages, in various settings, including as a substitute teacher in public schools, a full

Krystal M - Cedar Rapids, IA 52404 (28.9 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $32.00/hr.
I have worked with students of many different backgrounds, ages, and abilities. I love to help a student find that "a-ha" moment where he or she finally understands a concept that has been a struggle. I enjoy teaching new concepts or working with students to master a concept. I currently teach in an interim classroom for secondary students who have been suspended or expelled. I teach all subjects, but am most comfortable with LA and math. Before this, I taught in a high school classroom for students with behavioral disabilities. I taught LA and social skills. I also have been a para-educator in a junior high school, a substitute teacher, and taught dance lessons.

Haritha N - North Liberty, IA 52317 (39.6 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $39.00/hr.
As an undergraduate student in India, I used to help my younger brother and cousins with school. Especially being in engineering my Math, Chemistry and Physics backgrounds are very strong. I have never tutored for money but I used to tutor a lot for free. This developed my passion for teaching and even as a graduate student at Univ. of North Texas, I used to teach undergraduate students (including freshmen). I have taught engineering classes at undergraduate level, which requires extensive math skills. I always believed that all the children are smart and can learn difficult things. For them to do that all they need is a good teacher who can develop their interest in the subject, which will ultimately result in their success. I was successful in doing that with my brother and my cousin and today they both work in IT companies and Software engineers. I am very proud that I could make that

I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning.
