Computer Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Ashland, VA

I am a recent high school graduate. I graduated in the top fourth of my class. My GPA is a 3.48. My best subject is math. I enjoy helping and working with others to help them succeed. I completed a class in high school named Teach Cadet where I learned the basics about education and the importance of being a versatile teacher. I was able to work with children from head start to elementary level. I also was a member of two organizations at school where I worked with sixth graders about the importance of goals and worked with fourth graders about the importance of team work. I try to adapt to the way the student prefers. I understand that there are various ways people obtain and grasp knowledge.

Post-pubescent persons have a great capacity to learn abstract material; all that is necessary to open that potential is to motivate them. I do not specialize in that motivation. I do, however, excel at taking a puzzled student and explaining the difficult material in a way that makes sense to him or her. Mnemonic devices, simplifications, and advanced tools contribute to progress for any student of mine. As a typically destitute college student, I chose to supplement my income with the knowledge I knew best. This covered non-biological sciences and mathematics, as well as conversational Spanish and English literary composition up to the sophomore college level, Over the last five years, though the three years of my undergraduate education were the most busy, both peers and high school students took advantage of my services.

When I teach reading, I convey my love of reading. When I teach math, I convey the logical beauty of math. When I teach other subjects, I stress the importance of the material and how it is relevant to everyday life. In Sunday school this week, we combined with another class, so there were people there who aren’t usually. Several of them thanked me and let me know how much they got out of it. My response is that I am a teacher. It’s who I am and what I do. I was a corporate trainer for 3 years, followed by 12 years serving as a software instructor. Prior to and throughout this time, I also taught Sunday school and Vacation Bible school, teaching everyone from 2 year olds to adults. I spent one summer as a reading tutor, and many of my software classes have been 1-on-1 tutoring sessions. I have volunteered as an SOL coach and in Head Start classrooms.

My teaching styles vary depending on the student. I had one student who was an adult, moving to Ecuador for 2 years to work. I taught him the basics using methods such as flash cards, workbooks, and homework assignments. We met 3x a week for 3 months. In college I taught a Spanish course for a Christian Highschool near my university. This was rather different since the students were in their early teens. My method with them was 'FUN.' I used pop culture and things that interested them to help them learn. For example: I had them bring in a picture of their favorite celebrity and they had to describe the colors, clothing, and characteristics of that celebrity in Spanish. It was a success. Graduating with a 3.4 GPA in Mass Communications, I have always been creative in both design and writing. I have earned a dual BS in Mass Communications with the emaphasis being in both Public Relations a

Knowing each child learns differently, an assessment of their progress based on test scores, observations and on-on-one tutoring, gives me the strategy I use to develop an individual plan. Some students work well in small groups and other need individual tutoring. I spent most of my career training adults. For the last two years I have been employed with Richmond City Public Schools as a Title I Math Tutor. Growing up, I had a family of educators to encourage me to strive to do my best. Tutoring in the Richmond City School system has given me the opportunity to tutor and encourage these students to strive for their best. I have found my niche because of my love for children combined with my desire see them succeed academically.

I used to be a Math Tutor at Lorain County Community College. With a strong mathematic background, I was able to tutor students in all levels of college mathematics. During my undergraduate, I took many high level math course for an engineer such as Calculus I, II, III, IV and linear algebra. I graduated from Case Western Reserve University (Cleveland, Ohio) in January 2008 with a Bachelor of Science degree in biomedical engineer. In the junior year of my undergraduate, I had an opportunity to coop at DePuy Orthopaedics Inc., a Johnson and Johnson Company. As a student of the top-ten colleges in biomedical engineering education, this precious opportunity not only challenges my education, but also helps me to accumulate new knowledge about industrial engineering and R&D. I found this experience to be extremely valuable, and its value has been extended since I received an award in recogni

I love teaching all ages, but have experience working with college freshman. I believe that these students are at an age where they need to realize their dreams and need help to gain confidence within themselves. My strong point is within Math, but also comprehension. Written words and puzzles are not always easily understood. Some people need facts to help them learn or examples. I have worked with college students in the past, working with comprehensive learning and mathematics. I learned that each student understands in their own personal way; some learn by seeing something concrete and for others it is working through the steps in the problem that helps them understand. I have also had the experience of teaching a freshman seminar class where the focus was finding the students strong point or drive and having them research their major or likes to find what job fields might fit them

In addition to college instructing, homeschooling my seven children over the last 20 years has taught me that unflappable patience, a sense of humor that makes learning fun, and the ability to help the student learn and achieve in simple steps was vital to their success. Also, an atmosphere of mutual-respect fosters self-confidence so that the student can believe in their own success. I evaluate students in light of their abilities, individual learning style, and the level of their commitment to their own success. In my over 25 years in the business world I often found myself in a position of translating complex business and financial concepts into simplified examples so that they could be understood by non-accountants. This experience and resulting skill easily translated for me into classroom instruction as well as one-on-one individual instruction. I am presently an instructor at a p

As a tutor, I review previous test, quizzes and work with the student to see where the "disconnect" lies. Most students are very capable, they just need someone to explain the material in a way they understand. Some students are visiual learners, other kinetic learners or they learn by doing. As I understand how the child learns and ask questions to see "why" the student chose the particular answer, I am able to see the problem and use a different teaching style for tutoring purposes. I was a tutor for the School of Business and Economics in Elizabeth City where I earned by BS in Business in 2003. I tutored beginning through Intermediate accounting, Principles of Marketing and other business subjects from 2000-2003. I was a formal tutor for one year and a student tutor for 2 years.

My teaching experience includes: underwriting skills enhancement for professional insurance agents; tutoring for Sylvan of kindergarten-age students through high school seniors; and introducing the building blocks of reading skills and math skills to elementary age children. Learning can be interesting, fun, challenging and enriching. I find I can assist students by using my sense of humor; adapting to a student’s most effective way to learn (auditory, visual, contextual, etc.); and using my work experiences to help students make real world connections to abstract learning. I love seeing that flash in a student’s eyes because of something I did or said that allowed them to grasp the material we are studying. I am certified to teach students of kindergarten age through the 6th grade. I taught all subjects including math, reading, history, science, social studies, etc. This certif

I love helping children and youth learn to the best of their ability. I will work to adapt to a child's learning style and believe that with the right teaching style, patience, and with time a child can excel in any subject. I strive to be patient, passionate, and discerning. My goal is for each child to walk away from every session feeling confident about themselves and with a sense of accomplishment. I am a recent graduate of Liberty University and graduated a member of two honor societies including Aplha Lambda Delta and Psi Chi, the National Honor Society of Psychology. I earned a BS in Psychology with a focus in Human Services and Counseling, and a minor in Biblical Studies.

Working with children requires different methods or styles of teaching. Once working with a child, you'll be able to see what there needs are. You can try different methods and see which one they respond to most accurately. I have worked with students in grades 9 - 12, taught material from approved curriculum, and developed daily lesson plans. Most importantly I participated in school retention initiatives by providing regular, accurate and timely feedback to students and school concerning academics, behavior and attendance. I can motivate students to actively participate in all aspects of the educational process. I’ve mastered displaying problem solving, cooperative negotiating skills and conflict resolution strategies. I know how to use classroom instructional time appropriately and wisely. I have also completed 50 Practicum hours to include observation of the classroom as well as taug
