Terrence C. - Norfolk, VA 23518 (5.7 mi) - Middle School Social Studies 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

Aimee J - Chesapeake, VA 23325 (1 mi) - Middle School Social Studies 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

Rebecca W - Norfolk, VA 23507 (2.7 mi) - Middle School Social Studies Tutor - $39.00/hr.
As a gradute of the College of Creative Arts at West Virginia University, I was given the opportunity to learn and experience all aspects of the music education program. I earned my bachelor degree in Music Education and taught private lessons for a part time job to help put myself through school. I am currently in my fifth year of teaching and have experience in general music and middle school band. I love working with kids of all ages and enjoy the process as much as the final outcome. I love teaching and working with all children. I am a firm believer that all children learn differently and, as an educator it is my job to adapt to your child's style of learning. I have worked with children of all different ages and backgrounds; and found that they key to working across the demographic is patience, compassion and a willingness to learn.

Karen H - Norfolk, VA 23505 (4.9 mi) - Middle School Social Studies Tutor - $42.00/hr.
I love teaching and plan to retire as a teacher after thirty years. I feel all students have potential but need someone or something to bring it out. Most of the time, students just need to know that someone believes in them.I teach through verbal, auditory, and kinesthetic modes. Every student learns differently and through different means.I want them to feel a sense of accomplishment when they are finished. My philosophy is much like the old cliche, "Give a man a fish;he eats for a day, but teach a man to fish; he eats forever. If we give students the tools to be successful, they will be successful.Positive influences in the teen years make all the difference in the adult world. I strive to make a difference. I have been teaching for seventeen years. I have taught students of all levels and ages, from the student who excels at everything and does not need to study to the student

Walter J - Chesapeake, VA 23320 (5 mi) - Middle School Social Studies Tutor - $40.00/hr.
For the past ten years, I have been teaching High School English.
I have taught grades 9-12 in Literature, Composition and Standards of Learning in preparation for the state exams. I have taught inclusion classes involving students with numerous learning styles and have always met and exceeded the expectations of their parents. I am a very motivating person and tend to use humor as a method of teaching. I teach to and with the child and never down to him/her. I break large components into their simplest forms so that a child learns to take things one step at a time and not feel overwhelmed. I make the learning relevant to what the child is interested in or knows about so that he/she can be more engaged in the learning process. We set the goal-a reasonable one yet with high expectations and together we achieve it.

Kristen W - Norfolk, VA 23505 (5.1 mi) - Middle School Social Studies Tutor - $38.00/hr.
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. 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.
