Eve

College English Tutor • +41 Subjects

I have been a teacher all my life whether in the classroom or just in life. I love learning, and I am constantly seeking out new areas of interest, whether it's online courses or working on a new degree or taking up a new hobby. Interacting with students of all ages, backgrounds and nationalities always leads to that rewarding experience of helping someone learn something new. I'm always up for the challenges of teaching -- as a wise man once said, "There are as many kinds of intelligence as there are individuals"! Understanding each individual's unique learning process is the key that helps any student learn any subject.

I teach my students to do the same. I enjoy helping anybody who wants to learn.

Jacob

Anatomy & Physiology Tutor • +45 Subjects

We are on this earth to learn, and to use what we learn to serve others. If you're not doing these two things, you're not living the full, rich life you deserve.I got my undergraduate degree from U.C. Santa Cruz. A few years later I was in Rome, Italy with a Cambridge RSA certificate, teaching English as a Foreign language.I've had a lot of other odd jobs that involved writing and teaching. Eventually I got a teaching credential in science: biology because this was the subject closest to my B.A.I tutor all the natural sciences, as well as English/ESL. My favorite subjects to tutor will always be Italian, science, and writing. Italian is close to my heart because of the years I lived in Italy. But science is the most fun to tutor, because you will usually get to build things, or at least draw some cool diagrams.I also love to teach writing because it's so much fun to see the look on a student's face when he or she realizes how easy it is. I had an amazing English teacher in high school who taught me a few simple formulas for writing. His shortcuts got me through an A.P. History exam, and they helped me all the way through college. I can teach them to you in an hour.If you master a few rules and get enough practice, you can become a strong writer.How you learn is a very personal process. Everyone is unique, and everyone has a unique way of learning.One of the reasons I left my teaching position was frustration over the "one-size-fits-all" style that's forced on us in school.If you're seeking a tutor, you probably prefer not to learn through the single "listen and read" technique that is the basis of most of our educational system. I want to help you learn in your own way.Outside of academia, I'm interested in biking, travel, the environment, and entrepreneurship. I've volunteered for the state parks, Tree People, and similar organizations. Over the course of my life, I've probably traveled more miles on a bike than I've driven.I once followed the route of an ancient Roman road, the Appian Way, across half of Italy on a bike. It took me almost 2 weeks and I'm writing a book about it.I've also started a few home businesses, and lately I've been reading a lot of books on sales and marketing. At the moment I'm helping a real estate agent with his marketing, but some day I would like to run a bike touring company in Italy.

Sherley

Elementary School Reading Tutor • +39 Subjects

I received my degree in the Arts from Columbia. I have been working as a tutor for over 5 years part time and I really love it! Teaching the youth is so important to me and I feel like tutoring has a more personalized approach.I tutor English. My main focus is writing which is such an important skill in this day and age, I mean you use it for everything. My teaching philosophy is if you aren't trying to engage the student then they won't try to engage you! It is very import to have fun when you're teaching! Happy students learn faster and will retain what you just taught them! My favorite thing in the world to do besides teaching is going to Barnes and Nobles to relax. At Barnes and Nobles, I can truly be anywhere I like! I mean there are just so many books the mind can't help but travel.

Desiree

10th Grade Tutor • +65 Subjects

I am currently a graduate student and teaching assistant in the History department at California State University, Northridge. I also earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in History at CSUN. I work on campus in the Michael Patterson History Writing Center as a writing tutor for students enrolled in history courses.With its personalized approach, one-on-one tutoring is an exceptionally powerful tool for any student looking to improve their grades, their confidence, and their educational experience. I greatly enjoy watching my students improve their logical thinking processes, become clearer written communicators and, of course, see higher grades! I believe that writing is a skill similar to any other: with practice, dedication, and a little help, anyone can become a clear, effective writer.In addition to my experience with one-on-one tutoring, I have also taught reading, public speaking, and study skills classes to students as young as Kindergarten all the way up to graduate students. Reading, study habits, public speaking, and organization are all skills that, like writing, can be honed with guidance and practice. I truly believe that cultivating these skills leads not only to improved academic performance but to improved confidence and self-esteem in all areas of life.In my spare time, I enjoy reading, exercising, playing with cats, and learning everything I can about the world.

Adult Literacy Tutor • +23 Subjects

As an education enthusiast, I am dedicated to the process of learning through interactive efforts. I believe in a holistic approach that incorporates the various learning styles of auditory, visual, kinesthetic and those (like myself) that must physically feel the pen hit the paper. I am fun, friendly, and passionate about helping students succeed and gain confidence in subjects they may have felt uneasy about previously.

Additionally, I have developed a curriculum for the GRE, which has helped students achieve their goals!

Stephanie

Accounting Tutor • +49 Subjects

I earned my Bachelor's of Science degree from the University of Baltimore in Real Estate and Economic Development. I am currently working towards my Master's degree in Real Estate Development at Arizona State University. I believe that organization, effort, and patience are the keys to success. Since a child I have been at ease with mathematics which has fueled my interest in business. My unique educational experience and work history have provided me with a solid foundation in financial analysis, cost management, and advanced Microsoft Excel valuation skills. I approach teaching with the same methods I use in daily life; assertive communication, mastering fundamental principles, and connecting lessons to real world examples. Outside of the classroom and boardroom I enjoy gardening and collecting vinyl.
