The Last Tutor You Will Ever Need!

Hello...I am a certified English teacher for grades 6-12 and have been a 7th grade teacher the last 11 years at Matoaca Middle School. Before that, I was the sole English teacher for grades 9-12 at Kenston Forest, a private school. In total, I have 16 years experience in a classroom. Every year, I offer small group tutoring and have worked for a company and an elementary school (separately) tutoring students. I am comfortable teaching all subject matter for students in grades 6 or lower.

Composition is one of my top subjects! As a writer, speaker, White House correspondent, consultant, and freelance journalist, I am highly experienced in composing engaging and effective content on a wide variety of subjects. I write two articles of 800 to 1,200 words apiece for thediplomat.com, reaching an international audience of up to 800,000 readers with each piece. I would love to teach that skill, and its associated fundamentals, to your student.

Personalized, sensitive to the student's needs, fun, and encouraging. At the same time, disciplined and goal-oriented throughout.
As a journalist, I have had the privilege of reporting from the White House Briefing Room many times during last few years. Since the 1990's, I have researched, consulted, and designed numerous international business and government-related projects. For the last 4 years my articles on China have been published by "The Diplomat", www.TheDiplomat.com. Having lived in China for many years, I am qualified to tutor in Mandarin Chinese. In my early career years, I tutored international students in English. As a small business owner, I know how to market and build brands. I look forward to being useful to you and your student.

My comments on tutoring Composition : I have always done well with composition, and have received training during my education and job experience as a secretary. I have also written, but not published many essays, which have been received well.

Relaxed, personal, but concentrate on learning, making progress at student's pace and level of achievement. I will try to make learning fun and interesting.

A Little Bit About Me...

Education has always been one of my greatest facinations. I achieved a BA in English grammars, a MLA in creative writing, and fifteen credits towards a PhD in literature and literary criticism. I discovered the writing center at my undergraduate university and became a tutor immediately. I found that I was in a position to learn just as much at the students I tutored. Over the past twelve years, I have continued that facination with learning in voluntary tutoring sessions.
I believe in the program of teaching across the curriculum. As a teacher to be, I believe that students are much more willing to participate in writing goood papers when it is in a subject that has meaning for them. If this is not possile, I take an approach to the topic in order to make it more interesting, especially when there are such good internet resources today. I am a fun educator who takes great joy in h ... read more

More About This Tutor...

For the last seven years, I have taught and tutored English to adults who speak other languages. In the last two years, I have added tutoring students in grades 3-12. While teaching English as a Second Language at a local college, I was a lead lab instructor for two years. Students work with me on pronunciation, reading, writing and grammar. They also work on improving their test taking skills. I have a Masters Degree in the area of Child Development and Family Life, and a Bachelors Degree in the areas of History and English.
We do not all learn to speak, read and write languages in the same way. Some of us learn by mostly hearing or saying; some of us learn by mostly seeing and looking; and some of us learn by mostly doing, using touch and moving parts of our bodies or things. I use all three ways to learn when helping others improve their English. I use hearing, seeing and doing ... read more

I have a Bachelors of Science in Chemistry from the College of William and Mary and will be returning to finish my Masters Degree at Georgetown University in January of 2011. I graduated with a 3.2 GPA from William and Mary and currently have a 3.7 GPA at Georgetown. During my time at William and Mary I worked as a tutor for Calculus, Biology and Chemistry. I enjoyed working with my fellow students to help them achieve. I have extensive experience tutoring and love helping others.
The most important skill I can teach someone is how. I believe in not only helping students to understand the material but instilling in them a joy of learning. I want students to understand how to get to the answers, why the answers are correct and how to do it themselves. This skill boosts self esteem and confidence. I also believe that it is very important to teach study skills and techniques th ... read more

I strive to make a difference in my students' lives by teaching them accountability. I use my sense of humor, but try to maintain a routine and strong communication.

It is the only way to truly make the world a better place.

Concurrently, I worked with University Instructors teaching SAT Prep, Math and Reading Buddies Programs, and a summer school enrichment program.
