Resume Writing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Orange, 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

I have been tutoring for nearly two decades; having lived and taught both in the U. S. and abroad. I am a highly qualified teacher in Elementary & Middle School & also in Special Education. I have had all successful experiences working one to one to teach, review, and reinforce skills in all subject areas in K.G. to 7th grade. I am patient and kind and can keep a student focused for each lesson by breaking down concepts using time frames to maintain attention. I not only help my students understand the subjects in which they are being tutored, but I also teach them important study skills and help them build confidence in their own abilities. One is never too young or old to enjoy the benefits from tutoring, and it is often a question of just a few months or even weeks before students are back on track.

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.

For just over a decade I have been involved in some form of peer education or mentoring. As a senior in high school, I tutored students in mathematics and science. As an ACS Certified Chemist, I have been exposed to upper level mathematics, chemistry and physics, but am still required to use writings skills in preparing various reports and papers. The opportunity to be a Teaching Assistant in upper-level chemistry and mathematics was rewarding and reinforcing at the same time. I have served in a variety of leadership roles, both academic and extra-curricular, that have shaped the person I am today. The chance to tutor peers in high school was the initial spark towards considering education as a career. During my undergraduate studies the desire has grown as I was given the opportunity in the role of Teaching Assistant. I found from those experiences that I have an ability to gauge a stud

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 proprietary college with teaching experience in Accounting I, II, III (Bookkeeping), Computerized Accounting, Income Tax, Intermediate Accounting, Cost Accounting, Business Management, and Basic Business Math. I have had frequent one-on-one tutoring sessions with numerous students throughout my instructing career. 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 stu

In working with any student, the key is to be genuine and enthusiastic. A large part of successful communication is a sense of humor (!) and a willingness to work hard. My strategy is to be confident in the subject matter, comfortable in the relationship with the student, and clear on the goals. The positive accomplishments result. My educational and professional background (B.A., Masters, Doctorate of Law) supports my experience in teaching both young students and adults, tutoring at high schools and colleges, and private in-home instruction. Teaching English, History, Composition, Public Speaking, and Government and Politics, provided the opportunities to also use skills acquired practicing law. As a public school teacher, law school tutor, and retired attorney, it is vital that my experience and communication expertise result in enthusiastic and successful learning.

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 taught i

My experience includes two years of full time teaching at the PreK level. I also have experience working with grade level students through practicums, student teaching, and substitute teaching. I have assisted teachers with middle school students during a summer technical program as well. I currently hold a M.S. in Education specializing at the Elementary grade levels. I also have a B.F.A. in Photography with a minor in Journalism. My teaching style varies depending on the needs of each student. Because students learn in different ways, I feel it is important to start with a basic teaching method and evolve from there for each individual child and his or her level of learning. I feel that motivation goes a long way and that students should feel rewarded for any level of progress they accomplish.

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

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 or examples. 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

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 Relations and Journalism. I also have a minor in Spanish, a language in which I am fluent. I have excelled at English since highschool and have written many articles, essays, and website content. Most of my tutoring has been in Spanish, although I would like to branch out into writing/grammar as well. 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 tee
