Let me help you bring your words to life.

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.

Patient and Effective English and Psychology Tutor

I am an experienced tutor with intensive concentration on writing support. I have a Master's degree in Educational Psychology and I have worked as a teaching assistant at the university level. On average, my learners improve by two or more letter grades, and all have shown marked improvement. In the four years I've worked as a private tutor, my learners have had a 100% success rate!
I have a highly customized teaching style. Typically, I assess a learner's strengths and limitations then we work together to create a learning plan that guarantees improvement. I strive to empower learners to take charge of their educational success by helping them set and achieve their goals.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a William and Mary graduate with a BS in Chemistry, with several years of programming experience from developing my own computer games. In addition I performed laboratory research at the College of William and Mary for a thesis and have 2 years of experience tutoring in Elementary Spanish, Computer Science, General Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry.
My teaching style is very simple, but effective. I merely talk to the student to find out where he or she is having difficulty, and work to find ways to remedy the problem. We will go over the concepts and do some exercises that will help to answer questions and deepen understanding of the source material.

My teaching style embraces differences among learners to understand why they respond the way they do. As an instructor, I want to understand how members/groups learn and maintain the balance in the classroom. I provide learning through a variety of ways such as powerpoint presentations, lectures to supplement the weekly readings, provide additional resources to support the material. The most important benefit that I can offer my students is to be accessible to them at all times. Assessments would reflect the learning objectives through problem-solving, open discussions, group work, role play and journal writing.
As the only member of my family to achieve a Master's degree, I am committed to lifelong learning. I have earned an Associate's degree in Business Management, Bachelor of Science degree in Economics, and a MBA in Business Administration. Currently I am finishing up co ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is so passionate, I love opening doors to where students actually grasps the idea of learning and the effectiveness of it. As a young adult I often times relate my learning experience to theirs, in order for the students to see hard work actually pays off. I enjoy the success of watching students receive good grades, and the excitement of feeling accomplished. I personally believe it’s about the teacher just as much as it’s about the student, if a student realizes a teacher cares there’s no limit to what that student can accomplish.
I graduated from high school with honors from a school that never pushed the effectiveness of attending college to students. I maintained my focus and attended Virginia State University in the fall of 2006. My mother was my inspiration, so much that I ventured towards science as my field of study. I chose to be a chemist, allowing myse ... read more

My strength lies in my ability to motivate my students. One of my former assistant principals said that I could get my kids to do anything for me. I motivated them by making learning fun. I have never been one who liked worksheets, but I loved hands on experience. My students did too. Once when we were studying prepositions, and the kids were having a hard time understanding them, I taped clouds on the wall in the hall way. I told them to complete the statement with a preposition: “---the cloud.” Each student wrote a preposition and put it on the cloud in the hallway. I believed in learning by doing—I still do.
I retired from teaching after thirty one years in a variety of places. I began teaching English and drama in 1974 in Alleghany County, Virginia. After two years there, I moved to Sussex County, Virginia, where I taught for one year. I got married in 1977, and ta ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is what I was born to do, and I enjoy working with students of varying ages and abilities. Approaching difficult tasks or challenging assignments with new ideas or fresh techniques can make reluctant learners receptive. I am patient, but not a push over and I do require students to think and do their own work. However, I am able to do this with humor and positive encouragement. Working with a child's learning style and differentiating instruction to meet the needs of the learner is key to success in all educational endeavors.
After 17 years in the classroom, I still firmly believe that teachers are born and not made, and that all people should develop a love for life-long learning in whatever their career fields or passions may be. My loves do include reading and writing, but with advanced degrees in adult and vocational education and curriculum studies, I also enjoy ... read more

As a tutor, I review previous test, quizzes and work with the student to see where the "disconnect" lies. Most students are very capable, they just need someone to explain the material in a way they understand. Some students are visiual learners, other kinetic learners or they learn by doing. As I understand how the child learns and ask questions to see "why" the student chose the particular answer, I am able to see the problem and use a different teaching style for tutoring purposes.
I was a tutor for the School of Business and Economics in Elizabeth City where I earned by BS in Business in 2003. I tutored beginning through Intermediate accounting, Principles of Marketing and other business subjects from 2000-2003. I was a formal tutor for one year and a student tutor for 2 years. I currently tutor family members, friends and church members in all basic elementary through col ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with college students in the past, working with comprehensive learning and mathematics. I learned that each student understands in their own personal way; some learn by seeing something concrete and for others it is working through the steps in the problem that helps them understand. I have also had the experience of teaching a freshman seminar class where the focus was finding the students strong point or drive and having them research their major or likes to find what job fields might fit them well.
I love teaching all ages, but have experience working with college freshman. I believe that these students are at an age where they need to realize their dreams and need help to gain confidence within themselves. My strong point is within Math, but also comprehension. Written words and puzzles are not always easily understood. Some people need facts to help them learn o ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My teaching styles vary depending on the student. I had one student who was an adult, moving to Ecuador for 2 years to work. I taught him the basics using methods such as flash cards, workbooks, and homework assignments. We met 3x a week for 3 months. In college I taught a Spanish course for a Christian Highschool near my university. This was rather different since the students were in their early teens. My method with them was 'FUN.' I used pop culture and things that interested them to help them learn. For example: I had them bring in a picture of their favorite celebrity and they had to describe the colors, clothing, and characteristics of that celebrity in Spanish. It was a success.
Graduating with a 3.4 GPA in Mass Communications, I have always been creative in both design and writing. I have earned a dual BS in Mass Communications with the emaphasis being in both Public Relat ... read more
