College Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Hampton, VA

You will see many ads by former or current professors trying to make a buck on the side. They are terrible tutors - they spent their whole careers having students beg them for a better grade. I have spent my whole life learning how to explain the most complex concepts to absolutely anybody. You will also see many people touting a related professional position as qualification. Many of them got their positions through nepotism and cheating to get paper qualifications (Some are my former clients) and neither have a good understanding of the material nor do they explain things well. I have run this business catering to client's needs for over a decade now. My rates are due to supply and demand - I have a busy schedule full of repeat customers and their referrals. I have many paper qualifications as well, but they honestly don't tell you much. Help with a particular program also depe

My approach to tutoring is to first find which specific area is causing each individual problems. Once we work on that area and master the concepts, I will then go back an work with each student to figure out a study strategy that will work for them long term. The goal is for them to be able to be successful on their own in their studies so they no longer need me! I am passionate about the sciences, and enjoy spreading this enthusiasm by making science and math exciting! Real world concepts, simplified explanations or complex material, and patience can make science enjoyable for people of all ages and skill levels!

I have a relaxed, stress-free teaching style, while staying on task and topic. I make sure the pupils really understand the material by breaking things down to the basics, and reviewing the foundations. After reviewing and application of the concepts, I have my students switch roles and "teach" me the material. I believe if you can explain the material to someone else, you really understand it. I double-majored in biology in chemistry in undergrad, so the field of science and medicine is my first love and my strength. I have also received a Masters of Public Health Degree in Epidemiology, and have since completed my 2nd year of medical school. I have always had a strong affinity for math and english as well. I have a published thesis paper that was constructed and presented as required for my masters curriculum. I have been tutoring since I was in high school, and have tutored elementary

As the assistant Tutorial Coordinator for an undergraduate tutoring center, I was in charge of certifying and training tutors and promoting good academic skills. I come from a family of teachers and know the value in using teachable moments to reinforce learned material. I have tutored in the social sciences, English, the arts and Pre-Law courses. I am ready to answer your questions, initially. Then, I am ready to assist you in learning how to find the answers for yourself. I am here to help you improve on your study habits, review assigned materials, and practice tricks to help you understand the material.

I graduated from Hampton University with a BS in Molecular Biology and my love for science pushed me to pursue a MS in Medical Science. I have tutored at Hampton University in the areas of Organic Chemistry, General Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physical Science, and General Biology. I have also taught at Thomas Nelson Community College in The Biological Sciences. I have been teaching sixth grade science for the last two years. My students have the highest scores in the school. Three out of four of my classes have at least a 92% pass rate for the city's benchmark test. I love working one on one with students. I enjoy relating science to real day events and showing students how to think out of the box. I teach using neumonics, songs and repetition. I believe that science is one of the most important subjects because it teaches you how the world around you works. Most people believe that teache

I have earned a BS in Computer Science, with a very strong math minor. It would have been a double major, but third-year theoretical math stopped being fun (and computers were still fun). However, math up to and including first year calculus was both straightforward and mostly fun. I have worked with computers, systems administration and programming, since graduation, but I have lost none of the math I learned as high as high school algebra and geometry and basic calculus. I enjoy teaching and explaining many things to individuals and small groups, of all ages, although my tutoring experience is somewhat limited. I can communicate in different styles with different people, based on how I see they can learn most effectively. Seeing the "Aha!" expression when a student has grasped a topic, especially when he or she has been frustrated, is one of my greatest rewards. Especially in math, I b

During my years as a biology student, I learned many aspects of the discipline such as anatomy and physiology, parasitology, and ecology. My coursework included completing scientific reports, research projects as well as various group presentations. My educational background is very diverse and I have been able to tutor in the subjects of earth science, english, biology, and health. I have also completed coursework in computer science, African-American, European, and United States history. I studied english, oral communication and literature and integrated that knowledge in my other courses. I have also conducted several health-related workshops in the community based on my academic credentials. I believe it is very important to teach students in a way in which they will understand and retain the information. Each student learns differently and I am willing to implement the teaching meth

I have a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on Special Education. I was a Special Education Teacher for two years and I've been a tutor for more than 5 years. I have learned creative ways to teach people with language barriers english from working in Japan. I have worked with all age groups for math, english, science, and reading. I enjoy the opportunity to teach individuals new things and opening their eyes to new experiences. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am a patient, easy going, and considerate person. My goal is to create an atmosphere where students learn and retain the information they need. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing creative ways to learn information. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. I am available t

I am passionate about education. I firmly believe that every child has his/her own learning style. Students need to able to ultize how they learn in order to be successful. I beleive in an interactive approach that allows students to enjoy the material while learning. Each child holds his/her own potential and must be able to maximize this potential to have be academically successful and a life long learner. As a teacher it is my job to assist students in achieving this potential to increase their skill base,knowlege,and ability to be a successful learner. My experience includes teaching and supervising in a variety of special education areas. This has allowed to me gain extensive knowlege on the learning process and how different students learn best, visual, auditroy etc. I am focused not just on helping the student problem solve or find an answer but making sure they understand the pr

My teaching style is tailored to the individual. The first thing I do when I'm trying to teach someone something is determine their learning style. If they don't know it I help them figure it out. I do find that most people learn best by diving in and doing it themselves first, while I serve as a "safety net". Whenever I was teaching new helmsmen or junior officers how to steer survey lines, I would direct them how to do it the first few times, and then when they felt ready to try it themselves, I stood back and let them, not stepping in until the absolute last second. Letting them make and try to correct their own mistakes seemed to be the best teaching tool I had. As a NOAA Corps Officer, I helped teach new personnel many facets of our day-to-day operations, from instructing new officers on getting their Officer of the Deck qualifications to preparing new survey techs for their hydrogr

I understand the importance of helping others in the best way possible to help them achieve their personal goals. I love working with all age groups. I understand that everyone has a different style inwhich they learn things. What I try to do is learn everyones learning style and teach in according to what will make the most logical sense to help them learn new subjects. Teaching others is very interesting to me.

I had an amazing biology teacher in high school who was upbeat, interactive and made learning, memorable and fun. I try to take this same approach myself to figure out what is important to students and play on their interests and strengths to help them learn. I typically try a couple of different styles, like flash card memorization, word association (sometimes seemingly unrelated but the funnier and more obscure they are, tend to stick in the memory better), picture association, etc. Having effective discussions about subject matters, particularly with difficult topics, can help the student gain a more in depth understanding. At the undergraduate level, as a high honors student, I took the opportunity to tutor psychology and biology undergraduates. I also received a TA position for Research Methods in psychology. I also volunteered for 2 years mentoring underprivileged Junior HS stud
