Shantel M. - Suffolk, VA 23434 (38.3 mi) - Creative Writing Tutor - $32.50/hr.
Teaching is not only my passion but my calling. Having had the opportunity to teach both fifth and second grade specializing in reading I have learned very helpful techniques. I have also taught inclusion which has definitely strengthened my ability to differentiate instruction and to teach across the curriculum . I have also had the opportunity of teaching kindergarten for the past nine summers for a non profit organization; Horizons of Hampton roads. I believe every child can learn and every student can excel.

Meagan W. - Newport News, VA 23605 (46.4 mi) - Creative Writing Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I have loved English since I was in middle school. I went to college with the desire to graduate with a degree in English Education, but realized (after almost three years in this program) that the education program at my school was completely disorganized. I decided to drop education and pursue a degree in solely English with a special interest in literature.
I have also starred in two plays that my church put on- one that required only actions and another that had a multitude of lines and musical sections.
As for Sign Language, I have an aunt who was born deaf. Because of that, I started learning simple signs before I could talk. I am by no means an interpreter, but I can carry on full conversations and aid in the tutoring of students who want to learn. I prefer to relate things to the real world. For instance, when teaching anything dealing with Greek Mythology, I like to pick

Amy B - Chesapeake, VA 23322 (25.4 mi) - Creative Writing Tutor - $40.50/hr.
I have two younger sisters myself, and I am currently coaching the eight year old's softball team. From this experience, I have learned to have patience and creativity when it comes to teaching. I break things down so they become fun and informative. While at Virginia Tech, I dedicated much of my time to volunteering. Here I fell in love with serving others. During this time, one of the programs I volunteered for was an after-school teaching program. Here, I tutored elementary-aged children in english, science, and math. I enjoy helping others learn!

Eric O - Chesapeake, VA 23320 (27.5 mi) - Creative Writing Tutor - $39.50/hr.
By earning a duel BA in Spanish and Linguistics and a MA in Applied Linguistics, I have spent an extensive amount of time researching teaching methods and learning styles pertaining to first and second language acquisition. Understanding these learning styles allows me to relate to a wide range of students and discover what works best on an individual basis. I have applied these skills as a university writing tutor, as well as an editor for McGraw-Hill text books in the foreign language department. I am very enthusiastic about language learning, because I know understanding and utilizing language has the ability to influence learning across all subject matter. I am patient and methodical in analyzing the student's learning styles in order to identify the most effective and efficient presentation of the material. However, I am also confident that learning styles are co-dependent on te

Walter J - Chesapeake, VA 23320 (28.3 mi) - Creative Writing Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I am a very motivating person and tend to use humor as a method of teaching. I teach to and with the child and never down to him/her. I break large components into their simplest forms so that a child learns to take things one step at a time and not feel overwhelmed. I make the learning relevant to what the child is interested in or knows about so that he/she can be more engaged in the learning process. We set the goal-a reasonable one yet with high expectations and together we achieve it. For the past ten years, I have been teaching High School English.
I have taught grades 9-12 in Literature, Composition and Standards of Learning in preparation for the state exams. I have taught inclusion classes involving students with numerous learning styles and have always met and exceeded the expectations of their parents.

Jennifer W - Virginia Beach, VA 23454 (30.9 mi) - Creative Writing Tutor - $43.50/hr.
I am a very enthusiastic teacher and tutor. I love to see a student's eyes light up because he/she has had an "aha!" moment and finally understands a concept with which he/she had been struggling. I understand that all students have different learning styles, and I believe it is the teacher's job to tap into those styles and present lessons in a way which will appeal to the student. It is important to me to show students how reading and writing skills apply to their lives and how they will use these tools in their future careers. My goal is to motivate all my students to reach their full potential and to give them confidence that they can and will succeed in reading and writing. I graduated with honors from Old Dominion University, was a member of the National English Honor Society, and possess a bachelor's degree in English with an emphasis in secondary education.

Leslie F - Virginia Beach, VA 23455 (33.3 mi) - Creative Writing Tutor - $41.50/hr.
I know that learning a foreign language is a challenge for many people and takes a lot of commitment for everyone. I know what it takes to get from the point where you are struggling with a subject to the point where you are really enjoying the topic. All students are capable of reaching this point, it just takes a lot of practice, a little hard work and some fun. I will bring everything I have learned as a student and tutor to the table and will modify my teaching style to match the needs of the student. As a high school and university student, I regularly tutored other students in Spanish and other subjects, both professionally and on a volunteer basis. While I was earning my bachelor's and my master's in Spanish, I gained the skills required to help other students reach their foreign language goals. I was paid by George Mason University to tutor college athletes in Spanish. I ha

Kathryn D - Hampton, VA 23668 (36.3 mi) - Creative Writing Tutor - $39.50/hr.
In high school I worked in the local elementary schools helping students with their homework in addition to supplementing what they learned in class with additional activities. I have also worked at Sylvan Learning Center as a Materials Manager, but I also worked with students should an instructor need to work with a student one on one. I have a BA degree in Journalism with a minor in English, and have a large amount of experience in media software such as the Adobe Suite, Final Cut Pro editing software, and professional grade video production outside of English/Grammar/Composition. I have been signed on as a creative writing instructor for a summer arts program in Norfolk. Every student learns differently, so what may work for one will not work for another. I am a very hands-on and nurturing instructor who loves learning from the student even as I teach them. I don't like to confine a s

I have been teaching for seventeen years. I have taught students of all levels and ages, from the student who excels at everything and does not need to study to the student who is struggling to read and comprehend. I have been successful throughout my career with excellent test scores for my students. Throughout my teaching experience, I have learned and perfected many different ways to teach concepts to students according to their ability level. I feel that all students have the ability to succeed, just at different levels. During the span of my career, I have taught English,Reading, Phonics, Writing, SAT Prep, Biology, US History, Algebra, and Spanish. I love to see students become proud of themselves. I love teaching and plan to retire as a teacher after thirty years. I feel all students have potential but need someone or something to bring it out. Most of the time, students just
