Molly
High School English, Literature, Writing and Grammar
After being a stay-at-home mom for 15 years, I was called to be a teacher in the 6th grade classroom of a local private school.

I have also taught computer applications that specialized in the Microsoft Office Su... Read more
Jacob
Experienced ESL and French Teacher
I have been teaching English as a second language and French for ten years now. My experience has mostly been with secondary (middle) school students, but I have also taught some high school language courses, especially French literature. When it comes to second-language teaching and learning, no method has worked for me more than a comprehensive approach, involving all the skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Having learned a foreign language (French) myself, I understand ... Read more

Christine
Experienced Reading and Math Tutor for First-Seventh Grades
Hello! Are you looking for someone to make a personal connection and build academic strengths with your child? I am passionate about getting to know children as individuals and helping to build self motivation. Teaching (and tutoring!) is so much more than just numbers and books. I will work with your child's existing strengths to grow self esteem and confidence. Often times, a child's biggest academic hurdle is their own negative feelings about their abilities. I am all about focusing on the... Read more
Jonathan
English--specialty in research writing and literature.
I am absolutely fascinated by the English language and have spent my academic career studying it. Being able to share that fascination is one of the things I enjoy most about teaching. However, I know many people, no matter their walk in life, struggle with the intricacies and utter confusion which goes hand and hand with communicating in (arguably) the most complicated language in the world. I have a life-long interest in teaching. After scoring a 31 on my English ACTs when I was 17, I w... Read more
Semah
Teaching TEFL for all ages
I started my career as a TEFL teacher by first being a student of a foreign language; however, not in school but in real life. I moved to Bulgaria and worked there, without knowing a single Bulgarian word before I left. My teacher in Bulgarian was flexible, funny, and active in my learning experience and he gave me the skills I needed to succeed. Therefore, I understand what it means to live in an area without knowing the language and learning from zero. I understand how students feel, when t... Read more

I have enjoyed teaching all grade levels, preschool to college
After completing my master's in psychology, I taught at Furman University in SC and then locally at DeVry. When my daughter started kindergarten, I became a very involved parent, volunteering multiple days to help with tutoring as well as other teacher's aide needs. I discovered that I could work part-time as a para-professional which I then did, teaching Speech at an elementary school, then a middle school and finally at a high school. I really enjoy the one-on-one relationship I can get... Read more
