Ashley B - Roanoke, VA 24018 (10.7 mi) - Calculus I Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I am compassionate, patient, and sincere. I employ various teaching styles depending on the age and needs of the student. For college and high school students, I ask that students bring their textbooks as well as notes to each session. I often prepare example questions for material similar to that tested on an exam. Not only does this allow the student with an opportunity to practice additional problems in areas that are weak, but also ensures that the student fully comprehends the information. When tutoring younger children, I believe active learning is best because many children are visual and/or kinesthetic learners. I tutor children using methods that best match his/her learning style. As a recent graduate from the College of William & Mary, I have earned a bachelor’s degree (BS) in Neuroscience and a minor in Biochemistry. As a tutor for four years, I have tutored both college athle

Yao W - Roanoke, VA 24020 (11.2 mi) - Calculus I Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I have seven years of experience in teaching college algebra, calculus series and differential equations. I was a teaching assistant for five years when I was a graduate student at the University of Virginia. I have taught calculus I to III multiple times in my teaching career and have an excellent understanding of the subjects. I also have plenty of one-on-one experience helping students. For example, during my office hours, I explained difficult concepts and did extra examples on the blackboard to students who had difficulties understanding it the first time. When I taught at UMass-Amherst after graduated from UVA, I worked in the calculus tutoring center organized by the math department to provide students extra help. I am an easy going person. When my students were in the office hours, we always had a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. I really enjoy explaining a difficult concept in

Kelly S - Roanoke, VA 24015 (11.7 mi) - Calculus I Tutor - $38.00/hr.
As a college student I worked as a tutor in the learning center on campus. I have earned my bachelor degree in mathematics and my masters degree in secondary education. This allowed me to start my career as a high school math teacher. While earning my masters in education I also took several graduate level math courses, and once I started teaching I continued to take graduate level courses to gain a second masters degree in mathematics. With that I have been able to teach AP/Dual calculus at Cave Spring High School this school year as a dual instructor for Virginia Western. Teaching has always been a passion of mine. I love working with children and students. Through the differnt classes and levels that I have taught I have always believed that every student can succeed, even though the paths they take to get there may be differnt than others.

Kaylee K - Blacksburg, VA 24060 (15.5 mi) - Calculus I Tutor - $35.50/hr.
The greatest reward one can achieve is to see the smile on someones face when they have found success in understanding something they felt impossible. I feel that there is no single method to learning, instead it is each individuals character that defines their own learning methods. I like to seek out what drives an individual to help them find their own passion about learning. With everything I do in life I go 150% and never give up. I hope that I can spread this outlook and motivation to others and help them find the true value in their education. I am a senior studying Animal and Poultry Sciences at Virginia Tech. I have always had a personal passion for education and have enjoyed spreading the joys of learning and understanding to my peers, siblings, and friends. I excel in the subject areas of Math and Science, however have extensive writing skills.

Patrick T - Blacksburg, VA 24060 (19.8 mi) - Calculus I Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I enjoy teaching. I believe all children have the ability to succeed in the subject of math. The key to teaching children math is to find out what motivates your students. Then I try to find away to incorporate their interest into the lesson so they relate with the subject at hand. I also try to observe my students to see what the best way to teach them weather it is hands on or just a simple explanation of the material. I was a math tutor at Northern Virginia Community College in Sterling, VA from 08/03 to 07/07. I have also taught adult swim lessons and group swim lessons for children at the Ashburn Sports Pavilion in Ashburn VA.

Laurie D - Radford, VA 24143 (20.5 mi) - Calculus I Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I am a Certified Public Accountant with over 30 years of accounting and finance experience. Although I have no formal teaching degree, I feel that I would be an excellent tutor. First, I have successfully trained many employees over the years. Second, my two sons, ages 21 and 19 graduated numbers 2 and 1 in their high school classes, respectively. Now, both are "straight A" students at the University of Tennessee. Here, I feel that I have lead by example. Finally, my personality, while being friendly and patient, is also that of a highly motivated "over achiever" who loves to help others. I feel that I offer the best of both worlds, a love of learning in an academic environment as well as real-life experience in the business world. I love teaching and helping others, especially children. I believe that there are "no stupid questions" and that all children can learn. I think that one of m

Skyler M - Buena Vista, VA 24416 (44.4 mi) - Calculus I Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I have been blessed with professors at the university level who understand the importance of one-on-one instruction. Through the "creativity" of thoughtful instructors I have seen myself grow and develop in ways that I hadn't thought possible. Every student learns differently, and once the instructor gets to know the student well enough and is able to tailor their lessons to the needs of the student, true learning happens. Teaching isn't just about preparing a student for a test; teaching is about creating and inspiring the desire to learn within the student so that they will be learn, not just because they are forced to, but because they are thirsty for knowledge. I have spent several years as a student and tutor at the university level. I am planning to enter medical school in the Fall of 2012 and as such have developed a strong foundation in the sciences throughout my undergraduate ed
