Computer Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Norfolk, VA

My teaching style relies heavily on feedback from the client. I try to have a phone call with a student to learn what they are having difficulty with but also what their professor might expect from them. Then I get a good sense of their personality to understand the best way to get ideas across to them. There are often roadblocks to learning such as personal hangups or self doubt that must be addressed. Other times it is just a matter of understanding what the person does or does not get. 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 t

Visual explanation and simple repetition are the most successful tools to help a child learn. I am patient and calm with students but not afraid of discipline.

My teaching style initally involves getting to the know the person, what they are struggling with, why they think they may need a tutor, and anything they have tried in the past and what has and has not worked for them. I like to encorporate all aspects to assist with learning (visual aids, listening, and hands-on/practical). This may involve games, cartoons/movies (if tutoring Spanish), worksheeets. I also feel that goal-setting is important, and I think I would ask the tutee to set some individual/personal goals for themself, (i.e. amount of time studying or achieving certain fluency level). I recently earned my M.A. in Counseling. I have extensive experience in working with individuals (children, adolescents, adults), from diverse backgrounds. I have earned two B.A. degrees, in Psychology and Spanish. I am very familiar with the academic and learning environment, as well as the

I believe that it is important to determine how exactly a person learns. Some people are audio learners and need to talk it out. Others learn better by repetition and doing different examples. I have learned from tutoring math, many people use a combination of learning techniques and it is important for a tutor to be patient with the student and to use positive reinforcement. As a graduate of the University of Virginia and Kaplan University, I know the meaning of hard work and dedication. I received my BA in Sociology with a minor in Religion from the University of Virginia in 2004. I went on to receive my MBA in Finance from Kaplan University in 2009. I have always had a love for math as my older sister is a math professor. Everything that she learned, she taught to me. I have been helping my peers with math ever since I have been in school and I love helping people understand what come

I enjoy working with children and helping them meet academic goals. As a tutor my job would be to find out how a child learns best. Learning styles can include auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. Children also need engaging,interesting, and varied activities during their learning experiences. Another key point would be to identify strengths and weaknesses and to build a plan based on that information. I feel that all children can succeed. I have been teaching middle school science for the past eight years at a local Middle School. My endorsement is in biology. For the past four years I have been enrolled in a master's degree program in reading at ODU. This May I will graduate from that program. My goal is to teach reading and work with struggling readers.

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. 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.

With this objective in mind, I combine class room teaching with interactive sessions.The learning styles and capabilities of the students vary. So I incorporate different methods of teaching.It is important that the students understand the concepts and principles thoroughly.I want the students to solve some of the problems while they are with me to make sure that they have grasped the principles.I prefer to create an environment that motivates the students.
