Scott
Professional Mandarin Interpreter Ready to Pass on Knowledge
I'm a part-time Mandarin medical interpreter, hoping to tutor a little bit on the side. I love language learning and teaching. I majored in Chinese Language at the University of Iowa and graduated in 2004. During that time I took a summer course at Beijing University. After graduating, I moved to Taiwan to teach English and improve my Chinese. I lived there for 8 years and moved back to the States in 2013. I am fluent in Chinese and can read both simplified and traditional Characters. ... Read more

CPS Elementary & Middle School Teacher w/10+ Years Experience

I'm a lifelong learner, teacher and explorer of the world - having taught on three continents and taken classes on four. I love the moment when the the connections are finally made between the student and subject, the aha moment. Having both taught and been a students in numerous circumstances, I understand how learning styles differ and the need to connect the subject matter with the student in their style of learning. I started teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) as a t... Read more

Photography and Graphic Design
This is my passion, photography helped me open my eyes and see the beauty in everything around me. It helped me become who I am today. Everything else, graphic design, video editing, cooking, writing even information technology was just an extension of my passion, I see it as pieces of the same puzzle. I shot weddings, family events, products, portraits, landscapes. I designed newspapers, created marketing collateral, ads, posters, brochures, business cards. I edited video content for diff...

Evan
Dynamic Special Education Teacher
I am a teacher with ten years of experience teaching students with disabilities in grades K-8. I love watching students learn and feel that many students who struggle with learning have not been able to feel successful. A student who feels success is more likely to become motivated and take larger academic risks which results in him or her challenging themselves more. I believe that learning should be fun and hands on and try to plan my lessons in as much of a project based approach or real l... Read more
Catherine
Professional, Experienced, & Creative
I have been a second grade classroom teacher for the last eight years and an elementary tutor for the two years prior to that. I am a big believer in movement and the use of manipulators. I like to have my students move around the room during lesson times and independent work times because no-one can stay in one place hour after hour. I use the concept of a "Help Desk" where students can come and ask any question about any topic. I thoroughly enjoy working one-on-one or in small gro... Read more

Victoria
Patient and knowledgeable Math, Biology and Chemistry Tutor
I am an enthusiastic, gifted, experienced, result focused teacher and professional tutor. I have been been teaching and tutoring for more than 15 years going back all the way to high school.

My tutoring service is invaluable but I have kept it reasonably priced so as to acc... Read more
