Eastern Virginia Medical School Summer Scholar 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 pati

Terrence C. - Norfolk, VA 23518 (3.9 mi) - Science Tutor - $37.50/hr.
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

Kristen W - Norfolk, VA 23505 (1.9 mi) - Science Tutor - $38.00/hr.
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. Before college I was a summer camp counselor for three years and part-time babysitter; jobs that taught me how to work with children. I hope to improve a child's life through improving education. In the past year I have graduated with a double major and passed the Society of Actuaries' Probability exam. My experience in finding effective study techniques and quickly understanding new material allows me to explain subjects to others as directly as possible. I am determined to make the most of each hour of every day.

Alayne Z - Norfolk, VA 23503 (4.7 mi) - Science Tutor - $41.50/hr.
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

Jean G - Portsmouth, VA 23703 (5.2 mi) - Science Tutor - $39.50/hr.
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 am also qualified to tutor biology.

Karen K - PORTSMOUTH, VA 23702 (5.4 mi) - Science Tutor - $34.50/hr.
I began my experience teaching at a small school. I taught 7/8 grade general science, ninth grade earth and space science, and tenth grade biology. I worked at this school for two years, before relocating. I then worked with a tutoring service. I tutored elementary students in a private setting (in homes) in reading and math. I also taught seventh grade science at another small school. Teaching is more than a job for me, I really enjoy helping my students. I believe that all children have the ability and the desire to learn. Some students need a little more attention and enouragement. I enjoy getting to know my students so that I can find their strengths and weaknesses and build on them.

Malikah M - Chesapeake, VA 23320 (6.3 mi) - Science Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I enjoy assisting others with their studies by improving their acadamic standards.I believe that the outcome of a student's achievments through hard work is most rewarding. I look forward to a difference in each student's life by providing a great learning experience. I look forward to targeting each student's specific weaknesses that may be a hindrance preventing them from performing at their maximum capacity. I will do my best to assist each student based on their own individual learning styles. I am a recent graduate from Old Dominion University with a degree in biology. In the past I have had experiences with assisting fellow students in biology and chemistry courses. In addition, I have also assisted as an undergraduate teaching assistant in a non biology majors laboratory. My previous experiences have been mostly in the fields of biology and chemistry, but I may also tutor students

Larry R - Chesapeake, VA 23320 (7.1 mi) - Science Tutor - $52.50/hr.
I have worked for Norfolk City Public Schools and Virginia Beach City Public Schools as a substitute teacher for approximately six years. During that period I performed a multitude of jobs including long term substitute positions, teaching high school physics, and performed tasks far beyond the parameters of substitute job specifications. This current school year I was requested by the school improvement specialist, to work as the primary SOL tutor for Earth Science. I also worked for many years in the AVID program as a site tutor aiding in introducing new tutors to the procedures and techniques that would make them most productive as a tutor, while integrating the AVID program to the site. My teaching style consists of incorporating all learning styles of most people in order to achieve the highest level of comprehension in course subjects.

Mridula P - Chesapeake, VA 23320 (7.1 mi) - Science Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I am a Masters Degree holder in Bioinformatics and our curriculum encompasses Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Cell Biology, Computer science, Immunology, Mathematics, Molecular Biology & Genetics, Proteomics, Statistics, Sequence Analysis and Structural Biology. In addition to this, my Bachelors Degree Course work also includes many of the above mentioned topics. I taught these subjects to Masters’ students for two and a half years while working as a full time Bioinformatics faculty from January 2006 to June 2008. Besides I have given home tuition in Mathematics and Science to many high school and college students. This academic background along with exposure to premier scientific institutions enabled me to improve my knowledge and skills. A good teacher encourages students to think and analyze and not to accept the information passively. With this objective in mind, I combine class room te
