Tambra G. - Charlottesville, VA 22903 (0.2 mi) - Composition Tutor - $62.50/hr.
Over 25 years of teaching experience (all grade levels ~ from preschool to university graduate level courses). I enjoy tutoring, as it allows me to work one-on-one with a student to best assess their strengths and weaknesses in order to help them reach their goals. My doctoral work in Educational Psychology has given me a unique advantage in incorporating learning theory with applied teaching techniques. My clinical psychology experience and educational background has prepared me well for all forms of educational assessment. My post-Master's reading education work and research keeps me current on how best to diagnose and remediate reading comprehension and fluidity concerns. As an assistant psychology professor at the community college level, I am currently conducting my doctoral dissertation research on reading comprehension for this student population.

Corrinne P. - Culpeper, VA 22701 (35.6 mi) - Composition Tutor - $52.50/hr.
As the child of a novelist, there was an extremely heavy emphasis on composition in my education. Let's start out by saying I am definitely not your average tutor! Fun is vital to motivation, and I live on the stuff! I have been teaching for over fifteen years in a variety of environments, working in inclusive environments with children aged birth to twelve. I am now in my second year as a Special Education Teacher at a private school in DC that specializes in working with children who have Learning and Emotional Disabilities. I hold my M.Ed.HD in Special Education from GWU and a Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education. During the summer, I serve as the Behavior Intervention Specialist for Fairfax County Park Authority in Inclusion camps. Even in high school and college, I tutored peers and proofread papers.
Currently, I tutor clients in Clinton, MD twice a week, and in Alexandria tw

Sharon M. - Sumerduck, VA 22742 (45.2 mi) - Composition Tutor - $30.00/hr.
I have taught composition on the college level for over 20 years. Interactive! Students need to apply what they have learned, to reinforce the learning cycle. My instructional experience includes over 230 credit hours of composition and language arts instruction, including creative writing, literary analysis and Shakespeare. However, most of the instruction has been focused on composition. I developed a bachelor level English course for Pearson Education, working as a writer on a team of three; the course was deployed nationally at over 100 campuses.

Niko S. - Moseley, VA 23120 (50.4 mi) - Composition Tutor - $35.00/hr.
My teaching style is very hands on and unique. I focus on the writer's voice above all because without that, they are only writing words with no soul behind them. In college I was a "student instructor" in my university's writing lab, which is just another way of saying that I was a tutor. Post graduation, I now have experience with journalism as I've written articles for The Style Vibe and Green Label, both highly respected online magazines. Also as a creative writer I have published numerous short stories as well as a few poems. I currently have two novellas under review for publication.

Lester B - Powhatan, VA 23139 (34.9 mi) - Composition Tutor - $39.00/hr.
The chance to tutor peers in high school was the initial spark towards considering education as a career. During my undergraduate studies the desire has grown as I was given the opportunity in the role of Teaching Assistant. I found from those experiences that I have an ability to gauge a student’s comprehension of the material during sessions. This allows me to make adjustments on-the-fly and in the process become more effective in accomplishing the objective. In my teaching, I look to engage students through whatever means at my disposal with a primary focus on participation. Learning must become pro-active. My love for teaching comes from a teacher who showed that in everything they do, a true inspiration. For just over a decade I have been involved in some form of peer education or mentoring. As a senior in high school, I tutored students in mathematics and science. As an ACS Certifi

Thomas C - Maidens, VA 23102 (36.2 mi) - Composition Tutor - $40.00/hr.
As a lover of words and the creative processes, I was driven to learn how to read and write at a very young age, which allowed me to achieve a high level of excellence in education throughout my formative scholastic years.
I have earned a BS in Professional and Technical Communication which has enabled me to gain and enjoy an understanding in many areas of technology and IT as a Senior Technical Writer. I also have over 90 hours of “English” classes that have certainly given me the desire to continue both my love of words and the creative processes. My style is based on what I constitute seizing the moment for the student’s gain. Good teaching, preferences, abilities, and the norms of my discipline are all part of my approach to giving good and honest instruction. to me when that students eyes light up and they get it.

Darlene F - Madison Heights, VA 24572 (45.7 mi) - Composition 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.

Sharon M - Sumerduck, VA 22742 (46.3 mi) - Composition Tutor - $48.00/hr.
My instructional approach emphasizes interactivity, use of new technologies, and a positive, "we can do it" philosophy that acknowledges writing s a process that starts with the creation of ideas, moves to refinement and revision, and ends with emphasis on correctness.
In this approach, students who find writing challenging often discover that an emphasis on writing freely and creatively along with a focus on critical thinking skills, is the fastest way to improved written content and technique. I offer 16 years of English writing instructional experience. I have taught a diverse range of students, both in terms of abilities and cultural backgrounds. Instructional areas include English as a second language, developmental concerns, creative writing and poetry (I am a published poet), professional and technical writing. I have also provided SAT and AP preparation tutoring.
