Mark G. - Issaquah, WA 98029 (23.9 mi) - American History Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I was a senior scientist - engineer for 37 years.
I retired to care for my comatose wife at home, and she died a few months later.
This situation has left me open to new directions.
My teaching experience has been 3 years as a graduate teaching assistant, and 2 years as a tutor to friends and family in science and mathematics.
My goal is to show how math and science can enrich one's life and these subjects are nothing to fear. I follow the method of G. Polya in his classic work "How to Solve It".
By asking the right questions, one can help the student define his problem, form a plan for the solution, carry out the plan, and examine the result.
I also try to work as many difficult problems from the student's text as time permits, in order to show that all problems have a solution, and the student can build confidence in attacking any problem.
I try to present the material in as man

Olivia P. - Seattle, WA 98112 (25.5 mi) - American History Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I’m a Washington State Certified educator with over ten years of experience teaching and tutoring students of all ages. I’ve taught in both alternative and traditional schools, and have tutored a wide range of learners—from homeless youth to gifted students at top performing schools. I earned my B.A. in English Literature and Washington State Teaching Certificate for Secondary Education from Seattle Pacific University in 2009. Currently I'm pursuing a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, providing a framework to unite behavioral psychology with individualized education for optimal learning. I believe in integrated, holistic education, and I’m particularly passionate about supporting students with learning or behavioral difficulties. My teaching philosophy centers on individualized instruction. Rather than assuming a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor sessions to meet your stud

Elena S. - Bremerton, WA 98311 (31.7 mi) - American History Tutor - $50.00/hr.
I use the iPad (excellent resource) books, worksheets and materials I make to fit the situation. I am a speech therapist with 11 years and experience. I have worked with students pre-k through 12th grade, primarily pre-k through 5th grade. I have extensive experience working with students on reading comprehension, answering and asking questions, semantics of language (antonyms, synonyms, multiple meanings of words, attributes, categorization), syntax, grammar, phonics and much more! I have mainly worked with kids with disabilities, including autism, developmental delays, communication delays, speech and language impairment, and Down Syndrome. I have also worked with students on math skills.
I am also very comfortable with tutoring in areas such as GED preparation, as I am good at math, reading, writing, science and history.

Heather s. - Woodinville, WA 98077 (33.7 mi) - American History Tutor - $42.50/hr.
My teaching experience is broad across subjects and age levels. Learning and teaching excite me and I like to think that attitude rubs off on my students. It can be fun to learn, and even those subjects a student does not find enjoyable, can prove satisfying. I've taught middle school and high school, as well as at Bellevue College, Renton technical College, and North Seattle Community College. My own experiences include not just teaching, but also professional broadcasting, journalism (both broadcast and print newswriting, creative writing, editing, and reporting), writing a book, supervising employees as well as students, and poetry awards. I like students to be comfortable, enjoy their experiences with me as much as possible, and learn not only the material they need to study, but also habits and practices that will help them with future studies.

Amelia C - Puyallup, WA 98373 (6.3 mi) - American History Tutor - $40.00/hr.
My experiences as a home school instructor for my children at the secondary level of education, as a personal tutor for SAT and GRE test preparation, and as a teaching assistant at the university level have provided me with the requisite skills to assist students at various levels of education. In addition to preparing and presenting a full curriculum (including, music, art and foreign language) for my children over a period of four years, I also have two years experience tutoring in basic grammar and writing skills and library research techniques to university students. My teaching style, derived from a one on one approach as both a home tutor and teaching assistant, is simple: provide an open environment in which pupils feel free to ask any question. The most important aspects of tutoring are positive reinforcement, repetition, and assisting students as they develop confidence and lear

Russell T - Tacoma, WA 98443 (6.7 mi) - American History Tutor - $37.50/hr.
My objective as a tutor is to instill confidence in those I help in their ability to learn and succeed in an academic environment. Having confidence in the ability to learn allows a person to be a lifelong learner and use their learning to be of service to others. By having a positive attitude, sharing enthusiasm for the subject matter, and being patient, persistent, and understanding I believe I can help students achieve this goal. I believe persistence and determination is the key to success. I am in a wheelchair and as such I will only be able to tutor in a wheelchair accessible building. As a graduate of Pacific Lutheran University I thoroughly enjoyed the quality education experience I received and would like others to have a quality educational experience as well. Through earning a Bachelor's degree in history and a Minor in Spanish I have learned many important skills that allow m

Brandon S - Tacoma, WA 98422 (7.9 mi) - American History Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I graduated from the University of Washington last year with a BA in Journalism. I've also received an AA Degree from Highline Community College. Unlike many Journalism students, I have experience in arithmetic like algebra, pre-calculus and calculus. I've tutored students in math and writing, from first graders to college peers. I am a very patient, hands-on style of tutor. I take the time and try to explain things to people who have a hard time understanding. I try to gage what the student is struggling with and also what they do understand, so I can quickly pinpoint their troubles and focus on the problem issue. Some kids need more explaining, others need a picture drawn out for them. I am good at finding what method people learn best with.

Mark B - Federal Way, WA 98023 (9.7 mi) - American History Tutor - $42.50/hr.
I tutored for the Federal Way, WA campus of DeVry University from spring of 2007 to fall of 2008. I tutored students in English, multiple maths, programming, game design, logic, and test prep. I stopped tutoring to devote my time to the final project of my degree. Now I'm an independent video game developer tutoring to make "ends meet" while I'm working on my first commercial game project. I present the information or concepts at hand in several different ways. I draw on the learners personal experiences to make the information or concepts relevant to them. I help the learner tie the information or concepts to their own knowledge base thus establishing ownership.

Carolee W - Tacoma, WA 98445 (10.1 mi) - American History Tutor - $39.00/hr.
Interactive--listening to and learning from student to determine "where they're at". Then, posing questions to enable them to find their own beginning/solution/answers. If session doesn't find a promising beginning, start from a base and progress with them. Interaction prevents or indicates "going too fast" or overwhelming them--"the eyes" are engaged or indicate "shut-down". Making the math or education "mean something" provides a reason for learning or further developing the concepts.
Encouragement and sincere compliments are very important. Sharing your own struggles or an "ah-huh" moment helps ease the role differences toward a comfortable, encouraging, learning relationship. I have tutored and educated staff to raise their knowledge and understanding in an effort to help them appreciate their role and the benefit of their effort toward the goals of the overall department an

Nathaniel W - Kent, WA 98035 (10.4 mi) - American History Tutor - $43.50/hr.
I believe that instilling the confidence to learn is the key to effective instruction. Students need confidence not only in their instructor’s mastery of the subject matter, but also in their own ability to gain their own such master. This is not to suggest that rigor should not be applied, but rather that a student must have an emotional engagement with the learning process and a sense of their own progress, however minimal it might seem at a particular time. Frustration is the primary obstacle to successful learning and overcoming it is the instructor’s chief task. From 2005 to 2008 I worked as a teacher and tutor for a Seattle-based test preparation firm. I taught classes for the SAT and GRE and tutored the SAT, GRE, and ACT. I believe I met and exceeded the high standards set by this organization. In 2008 I worked as a regional field director for the Obama campaign in several states,
