Katharine D. - San Antonio, TX 78209 (8.4 mi) - High School Shakespeare Tutor - $54.00/hr.
I am an extremely relaxed, nurturing, personable and humorous instructor, experienced at teaching on both the junior high, high school and college levels. I have been gratified by the highly positive teacher evaluations I've received, which I am happy to share with potential clients. I usually become not just a teacher or tutor but a mentor and friend to students truly wanting to learn and grow. As an empty nester,I have boundless energy, love and creativity to share with young people, and hope you will become one of them. Despite being over 50, my students invariably tell me I'm "cool." I plead guilty as charged! As a veteran, award-winning magazine writer, published in dozens of national and regional periodicals, I am comfortable writing in any mode, medium and style, and excel at transmitting the secrets of this craft to students of all ages and ability levels. I have also worked as a

Jodi I. - San Antonio, TX 78230 (12.8 mi) - High School Shakespeare Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I tend to be really flexible and try to adapt my teaching style to the learning style of the student. For students who tend to be more tactile, I might have them handle apples if a math problem references apples. If a student is working on a writing assignment, I will offer suggestions (such as marking spelling/grammar/punction mistakes) and help them learn how to correct the errors so they won't continue to make the same errors in the future.

Ychlindria S - Converse, TX 78109 (1.8 mi) - High School Shakespeare Tutor - $38.00/hr.
As a student-athlete from the University of Texas at Austin, I understand what it takes to be a well-disciplined, organized, focused, dedicated student. I hold a bachelor degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders, which has allowed me to master a number of areas, including english, math, and science. I have also gained exceptional experience in formatting, researching, writing, editing, and revising numerous written works. These skills allow me to help your child become a very skilled reader, writer, and mathematician. I have tutored English and Math over the last two years. I have a truly divine passion for working with children. I will not stop until I have helped your child discover all of his/her academic talents! We all have strengths and weaknesses, and I am available to build upon your child's strengths, and to also drastically improve his/her weaknesses, resulting in a more

Erica M - San Antonio, TX 78212 (10.3 mi) - High School Shakespeare Tutor - $59.50/hr.
In my last three years of teaching I was the Inclusion/Resource teacher, however, I also worked with some Life-Skills students, as well as doing some 4th grade co-teaching. I am comfortable in working with at-risk students and understand the importance of having a rapport with them. My first year as a teacher I taught ESL at a catholic high school. I would love to tutor you or your child because I can help you/them grow and become an independent learner. I would like to stress my thanks for your consideration and look forward to hearing from you. I design the lesson to the learning preference of the student. I incorporate technology, visual, tactile and kinesthetic teaching styles. This gives the student the maximum opportunity to learn. If a student is having trouble with reading comprehension there are various skill sets a child learns in order to help with standardized tests.

Kathleen R - San Antonio, TX 78201 (12.2 mi) - High School Shakespeare Tutor - $38.50/hr.
As a professional teacher, I see my role as a facilitating educator, supporting adult students in what they need and want to know and learn. It is the teacher's responsibility to serve the education needs of the student in a communicative, patient and enjoyable manner. I believe learning new skills and absorbing new knowledge, in themselves, are two of the greatest joys of life. Essentially, learning is a pleasure. As with all adult education, the actual responsibility for learning is the student's; the teacher creates purposeful lessons, guides, corrects, assesses and, certainly, supports and praises all efforts. Also critical to the success of the student-teacher relationship is mutual trust and respect. I was graduated from the St Louis 4-year Liberal Arts high school, St Joseph's Academy, after which I spent many years in Australia. All my tertiary and teacher's credentials are from

Amanda W - San Antonio, TX 78213 (12.2 mi) - High School Shakespeare Tutor - $37.00/hr.
In 2008, as an upper-level English major, I accepted a position with Schreiner University wherein I hoped to use my education in the concentration of composition. For the rest of my college career until I earned my B.A., I tutored fellow students at various stages of the writing process, from conceptualization to polishing. I also met frequently with fellow tutors to discuss researched tutoring theory and tactics. Having achieved great success in this position, my supervisor, the director of Schreiner's Writing Center, also personally arranged much contract work for me with clients of various ages and levels of education. In my experience as a tutor, I have acquired the highly important skill of adaptability. Certainly, particular techniques and strategies such as asking provocative questions are helpful with any student of any age. More importantly, though, I have learned that the be

Sean d - San Antonio, TX 78228 (15.4 mi) - High School Shakespeare Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I began teaching as an Instructor and Dean's Fellow in Rhetoric and Composition and in English literature courses while a graduate student at the University of Iowa, consistently earning student praise in end-of-course evaluations. I bring the depth and breadth of full baccalaureate majors in Greek, Latin and British literature to my teaching and research, and am adept at assisting students who have not benefited from exposure to advanced essay composition. I feel I am specifically gifted in empowering my students to work hard at improving their essay skills. It is, after all, the essay that constitutes all college-level discourse, and for this reason it is imperative that college-bound students be well-honed writers of expository prose. I have a reputation for making often difficult and recondite literature accessible and appealing, while candidly admitting its rigors. My personal ed

Justin T - Helotes, TX 78023 (17.9 mi) - High School Shakespeare Tutor - $39.50/hr.
My missionary experiences informed me of one idea: people are important and they have to be considered person-by-person. Those experiences have led me to take a teaching philosophy and teaching practice that is person-centric. I work to understand the rhetorics, theories, practices, and experiences that inform each student and the classroom as a whole. In practice, this manifests in extensive talking and co-writing (on daily assignments) to assess where exactly these students are at and how I can help them. I believe that each student, each individual, has the desire and capacity to learn, so I am constantly working to demystify composition so they can truly see how language can inform them and make their lives better. Applicable to this job, I remember my high school years and the processes I had during my English and Composition assignments. I completed an English Bachelor’s degree, wi

Vanessa J - Wimberley, TX 78676 (30.7 mi) - High School Shakespeare Tutor - $42.00/hr.
I recognize that each meeting is unique, and I have a great amount of patience and empathy. I am calm and open, and I want to do what I can for my students to feel at ease in discussing their writing. Understanding my students' needs and providing a good atmosphere of dialogue are priorities. I think that the written word is very important, and I want to do what I can to help students feel comfortable with this form of communication. For three years, I have been a writing consultant for students at Rice University who took classes in rhetoric & composition. Some students have been ESL (English as a Second Language). I have tutored at least 25 students total (about 5 per semester), and so I have had experience with tutoring students with a variety of needs.

Elaine P - Wimberley, TX 78676 (31.1 mi) - High School Shakespeare Tutor - $61.00/hr.
I firmly believe that you learn best when you're having fun. Once a topic fascinates you, your mind automatically engages more, which helps you remember better. So I work to draw students in by keeping things interesting, using fun examples, humor, and applying things to areas they will actually care about. I want to make you actually WANT to learn.
I have a very adaptable teaching style. If one explanation isn't helpful, I'll try to approach from a different perspective, until we get something that works. I also prefer to encourage children to figure things out themselves, using only a light hand to guide them in the right direction. It builds problem-solving skills, gives you a sense of achievement, and keeps you actively involved. I've always had a love of learning, and have naturally slipped into an informal tutor role with friends. During high school I took several AP tests and a

Richard W - Austin, TX 78748 (44.7 mi) - High School Shakespeare Tutor - $37.00/hr.
My wife and I home-schooled our three children from 1993 until 2004. In addition, I was active in Scouts from 1994 until 2007 as Assistant Scoutmaster, Scoutmaster and Merit Badge Counselor. These positions are supervisory in nature and involve both formal and informal teaching, mentoring and guiding. This experience also entailed several summer camps.
My strengths are in the natural sciences, which formed the bulk of my work at UT, and English composition and grammar, as I gained extensive experience proofreading and writing essays for publication. I typically employ the Socratic method: asking questions to discover what the student knows (or thinks he knows) and guiding his thinking toward discovering the knowledge himself.
Both my three children and my Scouts have declared that they enjoy my teaching because it engages their interest and because it is frequently humorous (when t
