Rachel P. - Gretna, VA 24557 (20.7 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $32.50/hr.
I have my degree in Elementary Education. I have had experience teaching large class sizes, but I have also spent a lot of time in small group reading instruction, and I have worked in small group math. I tutored a kindergarten girl to improve her phonemic awareness. I tutored Language Arts in elementary school after school hours. I worked at a day care for 5 years and helped students with their homework after school. I believe in meeting students at their level of need, and mastering the skills needed in order to move onto higher level skills. I believe in teaching students how to develop their critical thinking skills, and teaching them the concepts needed to succeed in school and life.

Douglas B - Appomattox, VA 24522 (16.8 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $37.00/hr.
My experiences have spanned all ages and types of children's learning abilities. From a church setting, to a public school to a driver training car. As a substitute teacher, I worked on developing a good rapport with the students. And was always willing to assist them in working towards understanding the concepts before them. I am very patient and understanding with the children, because a stressful environment is not conducive to learning. I believe that a child should be able to learn while they are having fun and that positive reinforcement can go a long way towards helping develop good study skills. I have a bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering and was a software engineer for over 25 years. In 2003, I was certified for Middle School Mathematics in Massachusetts. I have enjoyed being a substitute teacher over 200 days in various Middle and High Schools. I have worked for 20

Aileen H - Evington, VA 24550 (23.1 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I believe that all students are capable of learning math. My goal is help each student understand math, and not just memorize steps. I accomplish this by using many methods to present material, including pictures, graphs, manipulatives, experiments, and physical movement. I have experience working with students of all levels of ability, and have enjoyed helping all of them. When I was young, I chose to pursue a career in Software Engineering because it was a practical and exciting way to make use of my passion for math. After working for nine years, I became a full mother. I began volunteering at the schools every chance I could. When my children left elementary school behind, I realized I wanted to teach math. I have been a middle school teacher of math for 8 years. My positions have included teaching all math subjects from Math 6 to Geometry. In addition, I tutored students af

Jennifer C - Lynchburg, VA 24502 (23.1 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I enjoy teaching students through a variety of methods including traditional, hands on, and student specific. Each student learns differently and as a tutor I seek to tailor the education to the specific skills and needs of the specific student. I believe the goal of teaching is not only to learn specific content and skills, but to inspire students to love learning, and make learning fun and interactive. I hope to challenge the student in many ways, while helping them grow into their full potential. I will be graduating in May 2011 with a Masters of Arts in Teaching for Special Education and will then obtain a teaching license for Special Education, K-12. During my Masters program I have taught students in large groups and small groups, performed assessments on students, and planned daily lesson plans and curriculum for students in a variety of subjects. Through my years of higher

Russell W - Lynchburg, VA 24502 (23.7 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $34.50/hr.
I taught Physics, Algebra and Trigonometry for a local high school. From that point, the bulk of my career was as an engineer, nuclear, mechanical and electrical. I have a number of years in Project Management. I also have four years of experience teaching at a Technical College, where taught College Math, Computer Science and Accounting. Teaching through positive re-enforcement. Present concept, allow student to demonstrate understanding, and then use a step-by-step approach to find out where lack of understanding occurs. The instructor should always be as positive as possibe and try to make learning as enjoyable as possible.

Avis W - Lynchburg, VA 24502 (23.9 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $53.50/hr.
What works for one student may not work for the other. One-on-one instruction is a great opportunity to find out which learning-teaching style works best for the individual student. I am patient, friendly and flexible. At the same time, I am driven to see tangible progress in my work, so that, ultimately, the student achieves his or her goals.
Being a teacher is not a job for me; rather, it is who I am. Teaching is my service to others. If you looked over my resume, you would see that I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, a year of experience as an adjunct instructor at a medical career college and two years teaching English as a Second Language at a private institution. However, if you looked over my life, you would see that I have been teaching, tutoring and mentoring my entire life. I have volunteered as a mentor, a tutor, and a teacher in community organizations, in l

Thomas H - Lynchburg, VA 24502 (23.9 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology earned in 1970 at Lynchburg College and a Master of Science degree in Environmental Health from East Tennessee University earned in 1979. I have taught sixth and seventh grade math, science and physical education and high school biology (three years total). I am now teaching a general environmental science course at National College in Lynchburg, Virgina. I have worked for the Virginia Department of Air Pollution and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality for the last thirty years from inspector, permit writer and Regional Director. My expertise is in the environmental field but like to teach in the elementary or science areas. I enjoy watching the students learn and "get it" and see the spark of interest that wasn't there before. I understand that some students have difficulty learning in a classroom format and some have person

Saami S - Lynchburg, VA 24506 (24 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I have 25 years of teaching experience in math and science at the secondary and tertiary levels. Concurrent with this, I have spent about ten years tutoring individual students and small groups in a variety of subjects for enrichment and remediation purposes. Typical examples of my tutoring/teaching include preparation for college admission, SAT, and SOL. Official recognition of my expertise is seen in my Virginia Teacher’s License with postgraduate professional certificate, which I have held continuously since 1992. An even higher level of honor comes from being a Finalist for the Sporn award at Virginia Tech in 2001 (in top group of 7, out of 192 professors with 480 nominations) after nomination by students “for excellence in teaching introductory subjects”. To complement my teaching in the classroom, I developed a web site to support instruction of undergraduate courses and I hav

Melissa K - Lynchburg, VA 24502 (24.1 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I always wanted to be a teacher since I was a little girl. After earning both undergraduate and graduate degree in education, I taught first grade in both public and Christian schools for 5 years. I attended many Professional Development courses and applied new knowledge to my classroom. I also spent close to two years as an Educational Consultant and trainer for Houghton Mifflin Publishing Company in Asia from 2006-2008. I focused on teaching teachers how to teach reading using the 5 Essential Elements of Reading: Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Vocabulary, Fluency, and Comprehension. Even though I am not currently teaching as my profession, I am still passionate about education and would love to continue to teach/tutor in small groups or one-on-one. I am child focused and believe it is fundamental to begin with the end in mind by determining where the child is at and where he/she nee

Darlene F - Madison Heights, VA 24572 (24.7 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $36.50/hr.
My students in college say that I have a laid-back style, with a sense of humor and a willingness to help students who need anything. I believe in using a variety of teaching methods to help students learn in their own ways, whether they are visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learners. With a background in theater, I try to use my creativity to make learning fun. I love teaching! I'm a people person who enjoys working with all kinds of people. I have a bachelor's degree in Drama, a music minor, and a Master's degree in English education. I have 7 years' experience teaching English at the college level. I also wrote entertainment articles for a local magazine for 4 years, and I have a book published. I'm eager to see what I can do for you!

Amy B - Lynchburg, VA 17366 (24.7 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $32.50/hr.
I enjoy working with all ages of children because each age group offers unique opportunities. I love tutoring because it allows me to teach in a one on one setting. I believe that no two people learn in exactly the same way so tutoring provides me the ability to teach a child in a manner that will maximize that child’s learning potential. I have a relaxed and patient personality and try to use this to cultivate a relaxed atmosphere in which the child can learn in the way that best suits his/her needs. During my years at Liberty University, I was provided with an outstanding education that challenged me to grasp the complexities of the universe. I currently hold a BS in Biochemistry and Molecular biology, and I have minored in Psychology and Chemistry. The combination of subjects that I have studied provides me with an understanding of math and the sciences and with the knowledge of how

Elizabeth J - Lynchburg, VA 24502 (24.7 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $37.00/hr.
Personally, I love to learn, and this drive within myself helps me to communicate my passion for education to my students. I have worked with children from age 5 through college age, and I understand the importance of creativity and individualized attention. I believe all students should have the opportunity and resources to succeed. My goal for working as a tutor would be to provide them with these tools and to help them in their own pursuit of knowledge. My experience with teaching and tutoring students is two-fold. I have received my BA in English from Liberty University and am in the process of earning a MA from the same institution. As an English student, I have a good working knowledge of grammar and composition, as well as excellent reading and comprehension skills, and I have tutored students in biology and math.

Margaret C - Lynchburg, VA 24501 (25.6 mi) - Pre-Algebra Tutor - $36.00/hr.
Education has always been extremely important to me. To me there is no greater feeling than finally grasping a difficult concept and I love helping someone else achieve that feeling. Consistently during grade school, high school, and college, other students came to me for help with their schoolwork and I enjoyed providing them with a new perspective, or recapping the teacher’s lecture. I have worked as a tutor for migrant aid workers’ children, helping them to learn English, as well as with Biology, Math and Grammar. I have a BA in Biology with extensive credit hours in Chemistry. I have also worked as a Chemist for two and a half years. I have always enjoyed English and Grammar and have consistently excelled in both. I have a great deal of experience training fellow employees and have devised the system of show them once, let them do it once while talking them through it, and then
