Favorite educational quote

By Chris A. | 2/21/2013 4:36 PM CST |

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. (Aristotle)

This quote provokes me never to accept the status quo and always challenge assumptions. It is the thought that through education we never stop learning or seeking after truth and knowledge.

Learning the Computer

By JOHN B. | 9/19/2012 10:32 AM CST |

There is still a segment of the population that has difficulty with computers or “How to Use”: a software program, the computer as a tool, or taming the beast they see on their desk at work.

The first thing I say to comfort my students is that they are not going to break their computer by doing something “silly”. They may get a garbage (or unexpected) response from the program, but that is simply because computers are machines that need to be told what to do. True, computers are excellent at doing things, but computers do not have the level of understanding how to read our minds and do what...

Caring Tutor

By Julia C. | 8/15/2012 11:57 AM CST |

Are your children struggling in school? Do you wish your child to do better in school? Are there college students who need extra help? There are many reasons why a student is not at grade level or struggling to stay at grade level, and high school students who graduate with limited English, Reading, and Writing abilities. Sometimes a child has a learning disability (ADHD, Autism, Asperger's) or limited English skills. A student's achievements and self-esteem are the most important things students can receive if they are struggling or has limited English skills. So many students fall through...

I Love Tutoring!!

By Kathleen D. | 8/14/2012 1:55 PM CST |

Hello! My name is Kathleen (Kathy). I came across WyzAnt, and I feel like it is exactly what I have been looking for! I have always excelled at all things English. I love spelling, grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, teaching computer skills, etc. I am fascinated by language and by the choices people use to express themselves. I would love the opportunity to help a student feel more confident in all subjects related to English.

I also worked as an Executive Assistant for many years, and am very proficient in all Microsoft Office programs, and find them to be a great deal of fun once...

Get ready for school!

By Ellen V. | 7/27/2012 2:30 PM CST |

If your student meant to get some books read, wanted to begin new lessons as he/she will have a hard teacher or needs to study ESOL as your family just arrived from Latin America, then we have some weeks to get started. School will begin before you know it!

Maintain skill and knowledge during the summer, start to master upcoming subjects

By John M. | 5/23/2012 10:47 AM CST |

Some students forget their skills and knowledge of subjects during the summer because they do not practice and receive tutoring.

Other students maintain or increase their skill and knowledge during the summer by practicing and receiving tutoring on their subjects(s).

To help maintain skill and knowledge level, many parents and students are having me provide tutoring during the summer for one or both of the following reasons:
1. tutoring for reviewing current subjects for practice and maintenance or enhancement of knowledge and skill levels
2. tutoring on upcoming subjects for learning so...

It is important to practice!

By Alexei M. | 3/4/2012 10:47 AM CST |

The ELAs are coming. Is your child ready?

Well, if your child was not practicing reading, vocabulary and math for a few hours per week, there is a great chance that you need a tutor to explain the subject curriculum one more time. As the time goes by, the memory fades away.

My students play games that help to train their memory, speed and attention. Education is a year long (including summer time) process that is built up by understanding simple things that will help your child to gain a better knowledge and understanding of next grade math, language, and other subjects.

Please do not procrastinate...

What's up with all the prices?

By Alexei M. | 2/13/2012 8:08 AM CST |

I think www.wyzant.com is doing a great job bringing together students and tutors. Even though some tutors charge up to $70/hour and higher, it is hard to see my qualifications until you try. Therefore, I charge $25/hour so that the potential students would try me out and see how good I am on the background of professors and teachers. I am trying to bring affordable tutorials to my students for them to know that good tutors are not the most expensive ones.
