Victoria H. - Petaluma, CA 94954 (4.8 mi) - Reading Comprehension Tutor - $25.00/hr.
The beginning of everything, I've got three younger sisters and there has always been a fair amount of helping out where they're concerned. I've babysat since I was twelve and for the past few years I've worked as a nanny. It's not exactly what you would expect for a tutor but I've been offering homework help in those areas for many years.

Robert J. - Petaluma, CA 94954 (6.9 mi) - Reading Comprehension Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I'll re-read portions of writing I don't understand until the meaning
becomes clear; if the writer is a good one, I usually "get it" on the
first read. I do enjoy discussing with other readers what the author's point is. Very informal and conversational. I like to laugh and joke as well as understand things that are challenging,
to both pupil and teacher. Repetition with interesting variation, coming at a problem from different angles
solidifies concepts and ideas in our heads. I have a B.S. in Technical Journalism from Iowa State University. I worked on a sales magazine upon graduating
until I was drafted into the armed forces, spending four years as a Navy Electronics Technician. On the G.I. Bill
I did Television Production coursework at College of San Mateo and entered the Broadcast TV Graduate Program at
San Francisco State. I did not complete my Master's degree, but my traini

Leona G. - Vallejo, CA 94590 (13.4 mi) - Reading Comprehension Tutor - $42.50/hr.
In an effort to conjure mutual respect, I approach each student more like a peer rather than a teacher, although they know who is an charge. With my elementary students, I have been known to kick a soccer ball around with them or read them a book... schedule permitting. "Play time" is my pro bono contribution after a good lesson. University of California-Berkeley graduate in individual major titled "Diplomacies to End the Division of Europe-1949-1990." Tutored English to German students in Germany, and returned to America to "give back". Specializing in one-on-one tutoring with resources and interactive activities found on the internet as well as worksheets on paper.
I am very patient and have a record of success with my past students. They have averaged a 25% increase in test scores after a minimum of 4 lessons to a maximum of 10 lessons.
Looking forward to gaining my teachi

What is the difference between Reading and Reading Comprehension? If you do not comprehend what you read you are not reading, are you? I believe learning should always be engaging and meaningful. It is critical to address individual student learning modalities and needs so the student can experience great success. I have always been a teacher of best practices, meaning incorporating those strategies and methodologies which are the most effective. They work because they promote high student investment and engagement. I have been a dynamic, successful elementary, middle and high school teacher as well as college instructor of Art, English, French and History for many years. I also taught in a two way language immersion school ( English and Spanish) for six years so I can teach Beginning and Intermediate levels of Spanish.
