Katie H. - Birmingham, AL 35216 (16.2 mi) - ACT Tutor - $22.50/hr.
My love of teaching comes from a lifelong love of learning. After graduating with a 4.0 from Vestavia Hills High School in Birmingham, AL, I went to Auburn University to pursue an Industrial and Systems Engineering degree. After a few years of working as an Engineer with Alabama Power Company, I studied to earn my Masters of Business Administration from the University of Alabama, Birmingham.I believe that having a broad knowledge of all subjects is very important. A few years ago, I decided to leave my corporate job and stay at home to raise my child. I had always loved teaching, so I began to work on my teaching degree online. I am currently in school to go back and teach high school math.
I am a bit of a math nerd but LOVE to read, so I enjoy English as well. I specialize in teaching math and English at all levels. I also can teach test preparation, study skills and various compute

Christian S - Birmingham, AL 35242 (13.1 mi) - ACT Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I enjoy working, teaching, and mentoring children. I have learned to adjust to the different learning styles of children, which makes it easier for the child to feel more comfortable with learning. In order to work with children there has to be a great amount of patience and concern. I have learned patience through working with children from all walks of life and I have come to appreciate each child's story. I belive that reaching out to those in need will not only help someone else to meet their full potential but for the teacher also. I believe in making a difference in other's life because others have helped shaped me into who I am today. As a recent graduate, I have learned the importance of education. I have earned a Bachelor of Science with a major in Biology and minor in Chemistry. Not only do I contain a strong understanding in those subjects but took several classes in other are

Ashley H - Sylacauga, AL 35150 (13.3 mi) - ACT Tutor - $58.00/hr.
I would say my teaching style is more relaxed. I believe this helps one see students weaknesses and strengths better. It also allows one to compare the overall effect of teaching for each student. When I see a student falling behind then thats when I take action and try top get them where they should be in that area. My experience is one that has taken me many different places to meet many diffrent people. I have always had a gift of helping others and conveying to them my knowledge. I obtained my BA in English Communication from Talladega College and also i have a minor in History. I have had a great deal of expereince in writng papers, essays, articles ,and reports. During my time in college, I also tutored Spanish speaking students in the usuage of the English language.

Andrew T - Hoover, AL 35216 (16.3 mi) - ACT Tutor - $55.50/hr.
During my Sophomore Year at College of Charleston I worked in the Math Lab tutoring all levels of classical mathematics up to Calculus III. I happened to be the only tutor who checked a box saying I could help high school students, and therefore worked with every family who called the college looking for a math tutor. After that year had a very large math tutoring business on the side, and over the last 10 years I have privately tutored mathematics and offered SAT and ACT Prep services at many of the finest academic institutions in Charleston, SC. I can teach with or without a textbook. My great advantage in privately tutoring for 10 years is in my being forced to work with all levels of mathematics; that is, while most teachers teach one or two math subjects only, I have had to brush up on everything from elementary algebra to calculus year, after year, after year. I know how to "read"

Ashley B - Birmingham, AL 35216 (16.9 mi) - ACT Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I think differentiated instruction is the best way to teach. This essentially means changing up the instruction in an effort to allow all students to learn. Because students have different learning styles, teachers should try to teach the material in new, different, and creative ways. Teachers should consider the way that the particular child learns best (ex. auditory, visual, performing, ect.)as well as brain hemisphere dominance. Teachers should cater instruction to match the needs of individual learners. During graduate school, I was a substitute teacher, taught a teaching writing practicum at UAB, and was a reading tutor. I was a student teacher for 8th grade language arts, and then I was a real teacher for 6th grade English. I have taken 18 hours of graduate level English classes, and this is more than is required to earn a Master's degree in secondary English education. I also have

Terri G - Calera, AL 35040 (17.3 mi) - ACT Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I truly enjoy teaching math and enjoy watching the 'click' when a student begins to understand the concepts. I believe many students have been erroneously convinced that "they don't get math" or that math is too hard. I believe in not just working through the problems at hand but in trying to help each student gain a better understanding of the thinking process involved in solving problems. Although proficiency comes through practice, there is more to math than just rote repetition. I began tutoring students in 1984 while working in the math lab as an undergraduate student at the University of Southern Mississippi. After completing my Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics with a general science minor, I had the opportunity to teach college algebra as a graduate teaching assistant. I have been tutoring/teaching mathematics and some sciences ever since. I have experience tutoring

Brian T - Hoover, AL 35244 (18.3 mi) - ACT Tutor - $35.50/hr.
My style is to first find the way each student learns best. Be it through visual or oral means. It is also important to note that each student is different and has different needs. Those needs need to be known so that we my help their greatest need. I graduated from Georgia Tech in 2008. In high school I was on the math team all four years. That helped me excel in my math skills. I also tutored my peers my senior year everyday before class started. I currently tutor a high school senior.

Shyam P - Birmingham, AL 35209 (19.3 mi) - ACT Tutor - $36.50/hr.
As a premedical student, my main focus during college was on biology, chemistry, physics, and math. Through extensive lab work, I have also learned how to write scholarly reports. During my undergraduate years, I have taught inorganic and organic chemistry to sophomore and junior undergraduate students for 4 months. Also, I have taught elementary and middle school students about labs in Birmingham's McWane Center. Currently, I work for Examkrackers, which is a company that focuses on the MCAT exam. I prepare and teach lectures to students who hope to get into medical school. Even though I focus mainly on math and science, I have experience with different age groups and am comfortable teaching students above the age of 5. I enjoy teaching and the think that every child has the ability to learn anything they want. Through my personal experience, I realize that some people have a harder tim

Jamaica D - Montevallo, AL 35115 (19.4 mi) - ACT Tutor - $35.00/hr.
My goal when teaching a student is to explain the subject in the most simplest way possible. So next time the student is back in the classroom, they will have some understanding of what the teacher is teaching. I also like to get an understanding of the way the student learns. This helps me when deciding on teaching techniques. I have over 10 years in tutoring elementary and high school students. I started tutoring in 2000 with the YMCA's after-school program. I stayed there for six years before taking a break to finish college. In summer 2009, I started tutoring with the Boys & Girls Club in Montevallo. Also in summer 2009, I started tutoring high school students from Bibb, Chilton, & Shelby counties through the Upward Bound program at the University of Montevallo. I currently help students with any homework they may have as well as with taking the ACT to get into college. I have tutore

LaBriel S - Birmingham, AL 35209 (19.5 mi) - ACT Tutor - $41.50/hr.
As one of the few college graduates in my family, I have always been driven and determined to achieve above and beyond in education. I have earned one bachelor degree, BA in English, which has enabled me to appreciate the subject within itself and reading more than I have in the past. In addition, I have learned the importance of forming and writing good research papers using all the rules of writing and grammar. During the past five years I have tutored and helped students in English, reading, writing, and reading comprehension. I love to learn, therefore I have always loved teaching children that which I have learned and grasped as a subject matter. All children are different and I find that with knowing this, they learn in differnt ways. Your child's academic excellence and overall success is my goal, which I am available to help him or her with. I also strive to provide the bes
