For the Love of Language and Numbers
I know how daunting the English language can be, especially in composing material that expresses exactly what you are trying to convey. Not to mention the complications posed by proper grammar and punctuation which can sometimes seem to be an impenetrable mystery. But by mastering these disciplines, you will receive many benefits in your ability to communicate. First, your chances of obtaining satisfactory employment will be enhanced. Secondly, your confidence will increase immensely. I ... Read more

The thing that I like most about tutoring is ... Read more
Belinda
Experienced Elementary School Tutor
After 17 years of classroom teaching, tutoring is a great way to share what I've learned. Primary and intermediate students are wonderful to work with because their growth is broad at this age. I have many games, manipulatives, and resources to help students learn and want my students to enjoy the experience of learning because it increases the amount that is learned and how long it is retained. I do not believe that there is one "right" way to teach a subject or to create that wonderful "... Read more

Richard
German/ English tutor
I am a former Middle School/High School freshman level German language teacher. I learned German as a native English speaker, so I know it's not easy to learn another language, but it can be done. I had to travel to Germany to get proficient, and I recommend that to anyone who wishes to get very good at learning German, however I also recommend having a good knowledge base before embarking on such an adventure, as you will get so much more from the experience. I like to use active learning te... Read more

Shelley
Experienced, Patient, Naturally Gifted Teacher
For most of my life, for as far back as I can remember, I heard the words, "You should be a teacher!" This "suggestion" came from family, friends, teachers and mentors. I considered teaching as a profession in my early college days, however, it didn't take me long to realize that there were way too many rules in school. I have always been a "think outside the box," "color outside the lines" sort of person. While this approach got me a 4.0 in college I was not sure it would be rewarded in our ... Read more
