I'd love to help you succeed.

I am a 2011 graduate of the United States Naval Academy with a Bachelors of Science in Political Science. During my education, I was exposed to many subjects, ranging from Electrical Engineering to European Literature. The most important things I learned during my time there were time management and study skills, because without a strong foundation in those subjects, one can not excel in others.
I am a very patient person, and I like to help. It may take a session or two, but I'm confident that I can adapt my teaching style to meet your needs.

More About This Tutor...

I usually like to meet with a person and understand their basic needs, before I decide which was to approach their tutoring - not every person learns the same way, so I approach each situation differently.
While attending Mary Baldwin College, I not only majored in English, but also worked as a tutor in the school writing center. As a tutor, I worked with students (freshmen-seniors) on basic editorial skills, correct punctuation, and the overall writing process (brainstorming, rough drafts, final copies, etc). However, my experience does not only tend to the college level - I have also worked with children in middle and high school for SAT prep, reading comprehension, and grammar.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a Sociology major and an accounting student at Longwood University, I was able to gain an understanding in a variety of areas from classes in business, sociology, anthropology, psychology, english, math and the sciences. I have excelled in writing financial as well as literary reports. I tutored many of my classmates while I was in college and was afforded the opportunity to substitute teach sociology when my professors were out due to illness or personal reasons. In my career I have trained many of my employees and have created new departments by implementing policies and procedures.
I have the unusual ability to teach in a way that each individual can relate to and on a level that they can each understand. I feel that all people can learn given the right circumstances and a teacher that understands the way that person is able to learn. Learning is a process and I approach ... read more

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!
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.

I thoroughly enjoy teaching and working with all children. I am a true believer that all children learn differently. I like to engage my students in any way necessary. I am very flexible to the many different learning styles and I am willing to do what it takes to assist a child in grasping those challenging concepts. I am one who strives to see my students achieve academic success.
As a special educator, I am blessed to have the experience of working with both students with disabilites and students without dsabilites. I am currently a co-teacher working with English 12 students. This opportunity has given me a lot of skills in the area of English and I have also been allowed to teach a supplemental class to assist my students in further understanding the concepts and skills learned in their English class. In addition, I have taught elementary math to Algebra and I have also assist ... read more

I graduated from Union College in June of 2008 with a BS in Biology. Due to hard work and dedication, I received my BS in three years instead of four. I have been substitute teaching for almost a year for many different grade levels. As of recently, I have been tutoring students in mathematics.
I am a very patient person that believes in sticking with something until the student fully understands it. It may take a variety of techniques, rephrasing or working through examples, but I believe if you are dedicated there is nothing you cannot learn as a student.

Teaching is a joy to me and privilege I am grateful to have. I am a creative, patient, and caring person and I love to incorporate games and fun into learning while maintaining the seriousness of the subject. I seek to know each student’s personality in order that we may build a trusting environment where they feel safe to try their best. Each student has a different learning style and I tailor everything to fit the unique needs of each student. As a guide to their learning I believe in the constructivist approach where students do not just learn how to do something but understand why it works. With time and encouragement everyone can reach their educational goals and gain confidence. It is my honor to be a part of the success.
While studying in college to become an elementary teacher I sought out many opportunities to practice my new skills and found them in all levels of academi ... read more

As a graduate of a top-level liberal arts college, I found that great teachers are the best influence for great teaching. I have been teaching for 6 years with experience at the middle school, high school, and college level. I have tutored students in writing, math, science, music, and test prep. For three years, I ran the Kenyon College Statistics Clinic where I tutored students in entry and upper level statistics courses. I have extensive experience with various mathematical software packages and have one publication pending in which these packages were utilized. While at Kenyon, I earned degrees in Music and Mathematics with a concentration in Statistics. I continue to use these skills today as a middle and high school teacher and coach.
Instead of "teacher" or "tutor", my students have come to know me as their "thinking coach." I pride myself in being able to adapt my "coaching ... read more

My teaching style includes utilizing tactile kinesthetic activities allowing students to learn using a hands-on experience while learning. Using manipulatives is also a tool used in my teaching process where students are able to sit at their seat, yet use fun arts and crafts so they can have a visual with their activities.
I have over 3 years of teaching experience with Norfolk Public Schools as a Reading Teacher teaching regular education and special education students. I have over 1 year of tutoring experience working with students in small groups and on a one-on-one basis.

In the absence of the primary instructor I provide an enhanced learning environment with stimulating and thought provoking conversation. It is my sole purpose to maintain a structured and enjoyable environment for effective learning. Lastly, I utilize the opportunity to work with the youth as method of learning from them as much as they learn from me and my ventures.
I use a unique technique of incorporating visual, audio, and kinesthetic methods in an integrated approach. Additionally, I use a method of conceptual questioning, and analytical thinking skills. Furthermore, expanding the students grammar, diction, and word usage are all important in my tactics.
