Louise B. - Manteca, CA 95336 (48.3 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $30.00/hr.
My teaching style is "thinking outside of the box", where I try in multiple ways to teach a student until they have an understanding. Each student is an individual and each has different learning styles. I am the one, that needs to be flexable with teaching. I like to joke some and lighten up the atmospher while tutoring.

Frank Y. - Ripon, CA 95366 (49.4 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $36.50/hr.
21 years experience as Combat Medic, flight Medic for the U.S. Army. Completed advance courses in medical management, patient care, emergency management of patients. Pastoral experieience for almost 30 years. Public speaker for churches, schools, and many organizations. Motivational speaker for numerous organizations. Marriage counselor, personal counseling experience of over 15 years. currently pursuing doctoral degree. In my experience I have found that it is always better to not only provide the didactic, but with it there must also be an ability for the student to relate personally. As it relates to methods of instruction, I have always utilized the three step method of: 1) See one, 2) Do one, and 3) Teach one. This is also akin to crawl, walk, and run method. There must always be a teacher student means of communication that is functional and effective.

Efleda B - Sutter Creek, CA 95685 (17 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $48.50/hr.
Because each student, young or old, responds to different learning stimuli (graphical or verbal) at diffrent rates, I always try to get to know my student first. I then try to tailor my tutoring to how they respond best and retain what they've learned.
I believe in repetition and using examples that a student can relate to, and then testing the student's understanding of the subject matter. As the oldest of five children, my 15+ years of tutoring experience includes helping my siblings in their homework when we were growing up. I have also taught English for two years at a private Junior/Senior girls' high school in Kyoto, Japan; mentored the English Speaking Society for the high school students; and, more recently, trained three content editors at Intel, as well as developed training classes for HP.

Kristie S - Valley Springs, CA 95252 (24.1 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $60.50/hr.
Since 1996, I have been a successful elementary school teacher servicing students in grades K-8. Along with being a classroom teacher, I have obtained my Administrative Credential and Masters in Education with an emphasis on best practices. I have the background to assess students and develop individualized goals to meet their needs. Most children have had positive and negative experiences at school. I believe regardless of a child's past experiences, I have the ability to develop meaningful relationships and help students believe in themselves and see their strengths. I do this in a caring manner, but always hold children to their personal best. Throughout the years I have influenced hundreds of children and have often been referred to as their "favorite teacher."

Caitlin O - Camino, CA 95709 (24.8 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $46.00/hr.
I realize that each student learns differently and thus should be approached differently. My teaching style is to exert patience and positive reinforcement for each style of learning. I believe that tutoring is the missing link in a child's education, and that providing structure and follow up is the best method. I began tutoring as a volunteer in High School. I have since graduated Magna Cum Laude in less then 4 years earning two bachelor degrees in Political Science and Philosophy. I have recently finished my first year of law school in the top 30% of the class. My experience in Political Science, Philosophy, and law have set me apart in grammar, punctuation, and both formal and creative writing. I have most recently privately tutored a high school student in English, Literature, and Writing.

Jenni G - Soulsbyville, CA 95372 (24.9 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $61.50/hr.
Having homeschooled my children (eldest is attending a top 20 public university)and volunteering extensively in the school community, I have become familiar with a wide variety of learning styles. My legal background has prepared me for tutoring in that I am able to effectively communicate with the student and present the material in a manner conducive to a learning experience(similar to explaining legalese to a lay person). Above all, I strive to ensure that the student has a true understanding of the materials, as opposed to simple memorization. I strongly encourage the student to take an analytical approach to learning, and to view both sides of any issue so that true understaning of the subject matter is achieved. In a one-on-one situation, I prefer dialogue. Assuming the student does the assigned work before the session, I find that a informal, relaxed conversation on the subjec

Maureen C - El Dorado Hills, CA 95762 (33.6 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $44.00/hr.
First and foremost, it is important to me and, especially for my students, that we have excellent rapport. I want to know their academic goals and what is most important to them as we establish our tutoring relationship. I do everything in my power to let my students know that I am there for them, that I care about how they learn best, and that I want regular feedback on what they are feeling successful about and what it is that may need more reenforcement or practice. I then adjust my teaching strategies based on their learning needs. I am a credentialed teacher who has had 22 yrs. of teaching experience, ten years in elementary and twelve years in middle school. I majored in English Literature in college and have taught seventh and eight grade Language Arts for 12 years.

Tracy C - South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150 (38.6 mi) - Study Skills Tutor - $36.00/hr.
My teaching style is to individualize instruction for each child. I believe that every child has their own way of learning and I would teach in a way so that they could be successful. I teach one concept at a time, building on each concept as they master it. I have a style that is very positive and encouraging so as to keep the student motivated. I celebrate even the smallest of successes. I believe that every child can turn a weakness into a strength given the right guidance. I have been a Special Education Assistant for the past 12 years. I assist the classroom teacher with with everything from paperwork to teaching lessons. I have also taught middle school math for 5 years during the summer on an emergecy credential.
