Matthew B. - Virginia Beach, VA 23462 (5.4 mi) - Literature Tutor - $32.50/hr.
I am a very patient person, and I like to help. It may take a session or two, but I'm confident that I can adapt my teaching style to meet your needs. I am a 2011 graduate of the United States Naval Academy with a Bachelors of Science in Political Science. During my education, I was exposed to many subjects, ranging from Electrical Engineering to European Literature. The most important things I learned during my time there were time management and study skills, because without a strong foundation in those subjects, one can not excel in others.

Meagan W. - Newport News, VA 23605 (14 mi) - Literature Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I have loved English since I was in middle school. I went to college with the desire to graduate with a degree in English Education, but realized (after almost three years in this program) that the education program at my school was completely disorganized. I decided to drop education and pursue a degree in solely English with a special interest in literature.
I have also starred in two plays that my church put on- one that required only actions and another that had a multitude of lines and musical sections.
As for Sign Language, I have an aunt who was born deaf. Because of that, I started learning simple signs before I could talk. I am by no means an interpreter, but I can carry on full conversations and aid in the tutoring of students who want to learn. I prefer to relate things to the real world. For instance, when teaching anything dealing with Greek Mythology, I like to pick

Brian B. - Newport News, VA 23606 (18.8 mi) - Literature Tutor - $32.50/hr.
I vary it the best I can to accommodate the student, though I believe that the most important factor is that the student be guided through the process and never just given the answer or denied explanation. As a graduate of university level education from the English field, I have written a great deal and have been extensively exposed to the writing process. A great deal of my education was focused on Education/Teaching in the event I decided to apply my degree in such a manner. I have some experience with students in the formal classroom environment as well as the one-on-one setting.

Aimee J - Chesapeake, VA 23325 (1 mi) - Literature Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I believe in using multiple teaching strategies that encompass all the different learning curves. I believe in using many examples such as hands on activities, listening skill development, study skills techniques, think pair share, jig saw method, and the scientific approach.
I also highly believe in positive reinforcement. Praising and encouraging a child for job well done, and supporting and scaffolding a child who needs encouragement, giving a child small successes can lead to bigger successes which will make a difference in a students academic life. As an early childhood educator, I have a passion for the education of young children. I strive for success in creating a love and a desire for learning in every academic environment. I am certified in early childhood education and have seven years teaching experience in both the private and public sectors. I have great reference

Donrell O - Portsmouth, VA 23704 (3.2 mi) - Literature Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I love tutoring and mentoring children. I believe that each child has the ability to grasp any concept. I also know that every child can learn affectively off one standard teaching style. I am available to help your child find academic success, by finding a creative approach to helping your child learn the material him/her is having trouble in. I believe all children can meet their full potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference to a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all my student's lives. As an Honors graduate, I was eager to achieve a level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelors degree in Political Science, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of english and government. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due t

Matthew C - Portsmouth, VA 23702 (3.4 mi) - Literature Tutor - $41.00/hr.
Whether teaching my son to read, guiding elementary school students through a discussion of the water cycle, or assisting a classmate with a term paper, I always try to employ the Socratic method. I believe that one teaches by asking questions rather than by providing answers. Things learned by rote are easily forgotten. By asking questions, the instructor fully involves the students in the learning process. There is nothing so satisfying to me as seeing students progress under my tutelage. Having been the top student in my senior class at Norfolk State University, I often assisted my classmates who had difficulties in writing papers. During my time as an undergraduate, I served as a long-term substitute teacher in the Portsmouth Public School system. I recieved my BA in English and graduated with a 3.97 grade point average. This fall, I will begin the Master's of Teaching program at Emp

Kathryn D - Hampton, VA 23668 (4.6 mi) - Literature Tutor - $39.50/hr.
In high school I worked in the local elementary schools helping students with their homework in addition to supplementing what they learned in class with additional activities. I have also worked at Sylvan Learning Center as a Materials Manager, but I also worked with students should an instructor need to work with a student one on one. I have a BA degree in Journalism with a minor in English, and have a large amount of experience in media software such as the Adobe Suite, Final Cut Pro editing software, and professional grade video production outside of English/Grammar/Composition. I have been signed on as a creative writing instructor for a summer arts program in Norfolk. Every student learns differently, so what may work for one will not work for another. I am a very hands-on and nurturing instructor who loves learning from the student even as I teach them. I don't like to confine a s
