My preferred method of teaching is hands-on, through real experiments. Unfortunately, experiments cannot always be done, so I use lots of illustrations and age-appropriate analogies that are easy to relate to. Many times students are convinced that science is a subject too difficult to conquer, that they must just survive it, but science is all around us. I strive for that "a-ha" moment when a student realizes that all biological and physiological processes are interrelated and that the trick to understanding science is to build on previously learned concepts. I believe that teaching solid fundamentals and relating more difficult topics to already learned information is key to helping students thoroughly understand the subject. Throughout my undergraduate years, I was recognized as an outstanding student and held the maximum number of teaching assistant positions every semester. I o

John D - Bastrop, TX 78602 (27.1 mi) - Elementary Tutor - $42.00/hr.
As a person who holds both a BA and MA in English, each with concentrations in writing (creative and technical, respectively), I am qualified to, and have for several years, tutored English language studies skills, including composition, grammar, punctuation, and reading comprehesion, to students from the third grade through college. I have also taught English composition at the college level. Additionally, I have tutored students from primary to secondary school in other liberal arts subjects where English language and study skills are applicable, such as social studies and history. As well, I have tutored primary school students in science and arithmetic. Finally, I have also tutored beginning guitar. My teaching style is one in which I strive to engage students in the subject by both instructing and challenging them to think on their own. I also strive to accomplish this goal in such

Josephine K - Bastrop, TX 78602 (28.9 mi) - Elementary Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I have always loved working with children and I believe I can make a positive difference in childrens' lives. Children learn through seeing, hearing, saying, feeling and doing. I try to determine which combination of learning styles are best for each individual student and then use that method to teach them the subject. I think each child wants to learn and succeed and I believe I can help them be a success. I come from a family of readers, I love to read, and I love to teach children to become good readers. I think reading is one of the most important skills one can posess and many doors open for good readers. I have 16 years teaching elementary grades 1 through 3. During this time I taught Compensatory Education for 2 years in 1st grade, 4 years in 2nd grade and 1 year in third grade. In the Compensatory Education classes I would receive the poorest readers and worked with them through

I taught all subjects for adult learners preparing for the GED tests through Region IX Education Services Center's Adult Education program for 4 years in the evenings. I also taught English as a Second Language to adults. I am an Adult reading tutor for adults who could not read.
I taught mathematics, vocabulary and biology to high school graduates preparing to take the nursing entrance exam at Vernon College.
I also taught basic computer classes in Windows operating systems and Microsoft Office Suite for Vernon College's Wichita Falls campus for 4 years. I had one or two evening classes each semester. I worked full time during the day as a Veterans' Employment Representative for Texas Workforce Commission. My teaching style depends on the student and subject I'm dealing with. For the non-reading adults I started by teaching them letter recognition and basic sounds; moved on

Robert H - College Station, TX 77840 (40.1 mi) - Elementary Tutor - $37.00/hr.
My enthusiasm for teaching is manifested in my personable teaching style. I want my student to have a complete and confident understanding in any material they aim to master. I work with a clear and disciplined lesson plan to be as efficient as possible. Also, I feel a relaxed and comfortable environment is essential to having an optimum learning experience. I believe in good education and have personally witnessed the value and power a great teacher can impact on a student, and I want as many people as possible to experience educational success. As a college graduate, I have a fervent passion for teaching and mentoring. Earning a B.S. in Chemistry and a minor in Mathematics has given me a valuable understanding of math and science. I also have numerous experiences teaching, mentoring, and chemistry research. I have been employed by several tutoring initiatives for students on universit
