Bryan
Tutor
I have experience as an ESL tutor at Weber State. I also tutored Spanish and German at the University of Utah and at Portland State University. I was a Teaching Assistant at Utah for on year. There I was responsible for grading, testing, teaching the class, etc. One of the best things about teaching or tutoring is that you are learning the subject again.

Justin
English Tutor and Proofreader: Critical, Creative Reading and Writing
English language and literature are passions of mine, and my approach to tutoring is to try to inspire the same enthusiasm in pupils. This requires conveying a sense of appreciation for storytelling and awe at the power of the written word. Engagement with texts that will interest students is key. My tutoring strategy involves helping students realize their own way of understanding and using language. I strive to encourage learners to create their own proper ways of interpreting and expressi... Read more
Stephen
Experienced art teacher who focuses on skill and technique
We make art because it lets us communicate the things inside us that language has difficulty describing. Sometimes it is deep love for a parent, spouse, friend, or child. Sometimes it is wonder and awe at the beauty of nature and the world around us. At other times it is a suffering inside that is hard to deal with. For all these reasons to describe our emotions, often when we start creating something, our hands are unable to translate what our minds can picture. They might be able to creat... Read more

During college, I served as an elementary school tutor at Waddell Elementary for 2 years. I tutored two students in reading, math, spelling, vocabulary and science.

Most teachers lack the tim... Read more
