Continuing Education Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in South Boston, VA

I love tutoring and mentoring. I naturally adapt my style to that of each student. As part of the instruction, I often ask easy questions to help them discover the rules of math for themselves. By doing this, my students quickly find concepts that were difficult for them begin to make sense! I also encourage them to ask about everything in the lesson they don’t fully understand. I am very patient, caring and encouraging. I help my students build confidence, self-esteem and a positive attitude. I have taught, tutored, trained and mentored students of all ages for more than 15 years. My background includes being a math teacher and adjunct professor. I taught at colleges in New Jersey and at Duke University. The students I tutor are often in grades 5-12, in college or preparing to return to school. I also have several years experience applying math to real world situations, includ

I have been teaching English as a second language since July of 2009 and had prior experience in teaching preschoolers as a volunteer when my child was in preschool and continued up until she's in 6th grade. Now, it's a whole new ball game. I teach English to adults who have come here from different parts of the world without any knowledge of English. I teach beginning, intermediate, advanced, and pronunciation classes. Mostly, the beginning and intermediate are combined classes. There I mostly put a lot of energy because of the size of the class: 65 students total (two separate sections). I pay a lot of attention to what topic to cover for each level. I encourage a comfortable setting in the classroom. I have always have the knack of being with people, but had no idea that teaching English as a second language would be something I want to pursue. I graduated from University of

I have always loved learning and have earned several degrees in Psychology (BA), Art (AA), Spanish (Minor) and Psychometry (Tests and Measurement) (EdS) and continue to educate myself (School Psychology, PhD candidate), all of which have centered around learning and instruction. In addition, having worked in the schools for over 6 years has allowed me to learn the process by which many teachers instruct and I have developed a repertoire of helpful strategies and interventions that are based in scientific research. As part of my job in the public schools I have an extensive knowledge of tests and evaluations as well as experience working with students with unique learning styles. I have children of my own and have always enjoyed experiencing learning through their eyes and observing the different ways in which they learn. I am comfortable working with all age ranges and can accommodate s

I have just recently started to pursue my doctoral degree in educational leadership at University of Phoneix. I have always had a passion for mentoring, teaching, and advising young people. I have had tons of experience working with youth and mentoring them. At age 18, I even started a youth outreach ministry called Serenity Ambassadors for Christ reaching at risk teenagers through music and biblical teaching. At the same time, I was teaching and advising youth at my church and surrounding areas. I earned my Masters Degree in Theology and Counseling in May 2008 at Oral Roberts University. My teaching style can vary depending on what age level that I am teaching. According to Erik Erickson, there are eight stages of learning that we develop as children until we become an adult learner. So for the ages (2-7) my teaching style would be a hands- on learning approach. There would be a lot o

I bring my sincere and unique compassion for seeing young people succeed. I believe that education is the key to success for young students. It is important to motivate children in utilizing their inner strengths and abilities and discovering what truly inspires them. I believe students should have a positive influence and it’s important to provide a stimulating learning environment that encourages students to trust their own opinions, while fostering confidence in order for students to reach their full potential. Bridging the achievement gap is a significant part of my life’s mission.

I have a natural passion for educating youth of all ages and find joy in helping them succeed. No child is unreachable when it comes to connecting with them. The only true difficulty may be finding their learning style. Teaching is easy when you know your audience. Our country has put our youth in a state of desperation with regard to their level of education, desire to obtain higher levels of education, and the ability to compete internationally. I want to be a part of the solution in reaching our youth and reassuring them that they can still be and achieve anything they seek. Education is the central focus of my everyday life. I have obtained a BS in Management-Health Care/HR and 5 Associate degrees in Business Administration, Administrative Office Technology, Medical Office Technology, Legal Secretary, and College Transfer.

As children learn in different ways and at different paces, many have difficulty adapting to the standardized teaching of institutional education. I believe that children learn best from a personal approach that meets their needs and draws on their strengths. I begin the teaching process by building rapport, encouraging ideas, and instilling confidence. I then determine a starting point by measuring the child’s aptitude. Following initial sessions, I develop an individualized plan that ensures appropriate and effective teaching methods. My style is flexible, patient, and engaging. The child is not a passive listener but an active part of the process, and he or she will feel more confident and independent with each session. As a counselor, mentor, and student, I have gained valuable insights into teaching and motivating others. I have earned a BA in Human Development, and I am currently p

I really enjoy being around kids and helping them learn new things. When you teach a kid something and they finally get it, the sight of their face lighting up is priceless. I believe that one should teach using a variety of methods because all kids do not learn the same way and each individual method shows something new each time. I believe that all kids can learn so much if they work as hard as they can and put forth maximum effort. I think it is very easy to learn/teach using as many hands on examples as possible. I graduated from Liberty University in May 2009 with a BS in Accounting. I am currently and have been a substitute teacher in Bedford County for the 2009-2010 school year.

I have a BA in Theatre Arts, a minor in Dance, and have received a Montessori Certification from NAMC. However, I learned the fundamentals of teaching (being on time, prepared, patient, and encouraging) from my first job as a dance teacher while I was still in high school. After University, I taught ESL in Korea for three years, as well as developed curriculum for a set of nationwide schools. In addition to that, I tutored students privately outside of the classroom. Throughout my teaching experience, I interacted with a wide range of students with varying abilities. This, coupled with my education, has enabled me to become an experienced, creative, and innovative teacher. I believe that first and foremost, teachers should inspire students to not only live up to their own potential, but to exceed their expectations and realize that they can meet and surpass any goal they set for themselv

I was an Elementary Education major for a year and a half of the time that I spent in college and even though I changed my major to Journalism and Mass Communications, I have found myself coming back to where I started. I enjoy knowing that if given this opportunity that I can reach out to so many children by helping them succeed in the classroom.I have recently started tutoring a co-workers son and I really like the growth that I see in his school work and the progress that I have been able to him make. Working with him has let me realize even more that this is something that I’m very passionate about. I enjoy knowing that I can have such a great influence in a child’s future. Being able to work with children and help them achieve that A in that classroom that they may have never thought they could get, can be the difference between a child going to college or not.
