Advertising Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Stafford, VA

While I was a Rotary Exchange Student – South Africa | 1999-2000, I volunteered to tutor students of various ages every subject, except Afrikaans, and was very pleased with their progress, and enjoyed it. I excel in the Arts (Creative, and Graphic), English, Statistics, French, Social Studies, Reading/Writing (especially essay) and would be best for college prep (Highschool ages grades 9-12), as well as Creative Arts for all ages. Please see my profile for everything I feel confident to be at expert level of. I am confident I could dramatically improve any student's writing skills as well as their art abilities. I adjust to the learner and speak their language, establish rapport through mutual respect, and try and make it as fun as possible.

I love tutoring and working with students to help them reach their highest potential. It is very rewarding when I know that I have taught a student something new or helped them to acheive better grades in a subject they are struggling with. I like to work with students as opposed to just editing papers for them because I believe that this is when they can learn the most! I love English and writing and can definitely share that love with those who may not be as into the subject and can motivate them to succeed! I gained my tutoring experience working the Wilmer Writing Center at Lynchburg College while I was a student there. I worked with undergraduate and graduate students, as well as professors, to edit their papers; these papers covered all subject areas from English to Science to Teaching. I also tutored students in English specifically while working at the writing center. I helped to

I have always had the desire to help people, and have truly embraced any opportunity to work with and help children. While many children learn in various ways, I believe all children have the ability to learn and grasp necessary skills needed to be successful in today's world. My goal is to give back to the community and to be a role model for our youth today. I have been told on many occassions that I have a talent for positively affecting poeple's lives. I believe this is a talent that I need to expose, and put this to good use. Children are our future, and our children need young professionals in thier lives to motivate them and ensure that they have every opportunity to succeed. I vow to do this, and would find it a proviledge to be able to work with these children. Recently, I completed my Masters of Business Administration from the University of Maryland University College. I have

In high school and college, part of the community service that I performed was tutoring elementary school kids in math. My BS in finance has given me ample experience and knowledge in the field as well as improved my math and reasoning skills. I know everyone learns in different ways, so I have found the best way to make someone understand is to put it in terms of something they understand, whether it be sports, chess, movies, anything. This allows them to relate to the material much faster and retain it much longer. Once they grasp the general concept, introducing details and new ideas becomes much easier.

During high school I interned in a first grade classroom for one year in which I planmed/taught lessons. I also have young siblings and family members which I help with assignments on a daily basis. In college, I tutored students taking various Psychology courses. I enjoy conducting research, reading scientific articles, analyzing and interpreting data. I enjoy teaching individuals of all ages and cultures. I adopt a hands on approach to learning and have extreme patience for slower learners. My main goal during teaching is to help one have a better understanding of the subject by relating to the material. To reach this goal it is imperative that I am resourceful enough to provide my students with vital and accurate information.

As an instructor, it is gratifying to witness advances in students' understanding, achievement and confidence as they acquire new knowledge and insight. The process of teaching is built on a foundation of positive interaction and trust. The role of the teacher is to facilitate and support learning. A structured and clear teaching approach provides a reliable framework for the student to learn, but students should feel guided and not restricted. My teaching style as a tutor is generally student-centered; facilitative and encouraging, steady, and receptive to student input. However, applying the approach that will best facilitate learning also involves understanding and addressing the needs of the individual student. Students are most responsive to learning when provided with consistent guidance from a knowledgeable source and believe that they can achieve the academic goals set forth. I h

During lessons, I am patient, calm, well-spoken, but challenging. I continually ask my students questions and make sure the focus stays on them and their learning rather than myself. I find that the discovery approach works well in my classes and students are always willing to participate in fun games and other activities that allow them to find the answer on their own. The best teacher is one that is always willing to learn and wants to help the individual become a well-rounded person, not just someone who can always give the correct answer. Paulo Freire, the late Brazilian Sociologist, was not only one of the greatest thinkers of the century, but also a humble educator. He believed that there should be no set boundaries between student and teacher because all people have something to contribute. He also believed that one's education should be rooted in the one's reality. Thus a "stu
