Resume Writing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Locust Grove, VA

I am a dedicated professional who is passionate about helping students achieve academic success. This past year, I spent time as an SES Lead Tutor after school and in-home and tutored (Reading - phonics based - and Math) many children in grades K through 7th that held IEPs. I believe that each child learns at their own Pace and if they are tested, the gaps in their education will appear. Once these gaps are addressed, they can move forward with their peers. You must find out what works for each student and use that method to make learning fun. I believe in step-by-step hands on with a lot of practice. I would love to continue to have a positive impact on all students when it comes to Math and share with them the love that I have. I started out as a Computer Instructor and enjoyed teaching computer classes but something was missing. I saw that my children was not getting the education

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.

Teaching is my passion and I believe that by teaching I can instill firm educational values in children and help develop within them a desire to learn and grow, which will lead to academic pride and success. I’ve taught for five years at Public School 94 in the Bronx, NY and two years in Woodbridge, VA. Working as a New York City public school teacher has allowed me to acquire valuable skills and experience needed to build a solid foundation for my teaching career. Working with students, parents/guardians, and co-workers from diverse backgrounds has enriched and heightened my cultural sensitivity and understanding and has enabled me to meet the needs of a rich and diverse population. Guided by experiences in my life and lessons I’ve learned through teaching, I’ve come to understand that all children learn differently. My goal is to first determine where the students need help, based o

It has always been a passion of mine to work with and educate young children and youth. I began tutoring at a Elementary School for a few hours when I was in high school as well as assisted other children with math and reading on an as needed basis. When I was away at undergrad school, I was able to work with local Elementary children, but it was not on a consistent basis. Once I graduated from Undergrad, I returned home and began tutoring with my church and volunteered to work with the Sr. Youth Ministry as well. During this time period I also worked with two different tutoring companies. My teaching style varies based on the child that I am working with that time. I have worked with children with all different kinds of learning styles, so I have learned over the years that you have to be flexible and mindful of the specific child that you are working with. Through my experience I have

In addition to college instructing, homeschooling my seven children over the last 20 years has taught me that unflappable patience, a sense of humor that makes learning fun, and the ability to help the student learn and achieve in simple steps was vital to their success. Also, an atmosphere of mutual-respect fosters self-confidence so that the student can believe in their own success. I evaluate students in light of their abilities, individual learning style, and the level of their commitment to their own success. In my over 25 years in the business world I often found myself in a position of translating complex business and financial concepts into simplified examples so that they could be understood by non-accountants. This experience and resulting skill easily translated for me into classroom instruction as well as one-on-one individual instruction. I am presently an instructor at a p
