Computer Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Thornburg, VA

I am a dedicated professional who is passionate about helping students achieve academic success. This past year, I spent time as an SES Lead Tutor after school and in-home and tutored (Reading - phonics based - and Math) many children in grades K through 7th that held IEPs. I believe that each child learns at their own Pace and if they are tested, the gaps in their education will appear. Once these gaps are addressed, they can move forward with their peers. You must find out what works for each student and use that method to make learning fun. I believe in step-by-step hands on with a lot of practice. I would love to continue to have a positive impact on all students when it comes to Math and share with them the love that I have. I started out as a Computer Instructor and enjoyed teaching computer classes but something was missing. I saw that my children was not getting the education

In my over 25 years in the business world I often found myself in a position of translating complex business and financial concepts into simplified examples so that they could be understood by non-accountants. This experience and resulting skill easily translated for me into classroom instruction as well as one-on-one individual instruction. I am presently an instructor at a proprietary college with teaching experience in Accounting I, II, III (Bookkeeping), Computerized Accounting, Income Tax, Intermediate Accounting, Cost Accounting, Business Management, and Basic Business Math. I have had frequent one-on-one tutoring sessions with numerous students throughout my instructing career. In addition to college instructing, homeschooling my seven children over the last 20 years has taught me that unflappable patience, a sense of humor that makes learning fun, and the ability to help the stu

I work well as a one on one special education aide because my attention is soley on the activities and education of my students. I am a laid back worker, and extremely patient because I find that if I allow myself to get out of shape, then I am not an effective teacher and aide, and my students will see this. I strive to be a good role model to them all, even when I may be frustrated but I find constructive ways of venting such as listening to music during class quiet times and taking walks with my students during activity breaks and while they are in PE. I have worked for one school year as a substitute for both Hanover County and Louisa County, I am Currently employed by Hanover County Public Schools as a teaching assistant while continuing my work on my graduate work. I will still be employed by hanover County Schools for the 2009-2010 School year.

Post-pubescent persons have a great capacity to learn abstract material; all that is necessary to open that potential is to motivate them. I do not specialize in that motivation. I do, however, excel at taking a puzzled student and explaining the difficult material in a way that makes sense to him or her. Mnemonic devices, simplifications, and advanced tools contribute to progress for any student of mine. As a typically destitute college student, I chose to supplement my income with the knowledge I knew best. This covered non-biological sciences and mathematics, as well as conversational Spanish and English literary composition up to the sophomore college level, Over the last five years, though the three years of my undergraduate education were the most busy, both peers and high school students took advantage of my services.

I was a corporate trainer for 3 years, followed by 12 years serving as a software instructor. Prior to and throughout this time, I also taught Sunday school and Vacation Bible school, teaching everyone from 2 year olds to adults. I spent one summer as a reading tutor, and many of my software classes have been 1-on-1 tutoring sessions. I have volunteered as an SOL coach and in Head Start classrooms. When I teach reading, I convey my love of reading. When I teach math, I convey the logical beauty of math. When I teach other subjects, I stress the importance of the material and how it is relevant to everyday life. In Sunday school this week, we combined with another class, so there were people there who aren’t usually. Several of them thanked me and let me know how much they got out of it. My response is that I am a teacher. It’s who I am and what I do.

Although my main career choice was not as a teacher, I still love to tutor. Working with students helps to keep me fresh with the material I’ve learned and it also helps my students understand the material for their classes. My patience and care for teaching never dissipated. I have been very constructive during my sessions and I provided a variety of day to day visualization for my tutees. I have tutored for Statistics, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Circuits, Geometry, Algebra, and Calculus at J Sergeant Reynolds Community College and Smart Solution Tutoring. I was a Teacher Assistant in Calculus I & II at Virginia Sate University. I currently work as an Engineer Consultant for academic and industrial clients.

As a lover of words and the creative processes, I was driven to learn how to read and write at a very young age, which allowed me to achieve a high level of excellence in education throughout my formative scholastic years. I have earned a BS in Professional and Technical Communication which has enabled me to gain and enjoy an understanding in many areas of technology and IT as a Senior Technical Writer. I also have over 90 hours of “English” classes that have certainly given me the desire to continue both my love of words and the creative processes. My style is based on what I constitute seizing the moment for the student’s gain. Good teaching, preferences, abilities, and the norms of my discipline are all part of my approach to giving good and honest instruction. to me when that students eyes light up and they get it.

I used to be a Math Tutor at Lorain County Community College. With a strong mathematic background, I was able to tutor students in all levels of college mathematics. During my undergraduate, I took many high level math course for an engineer such as Calculus I, II, III, IV and linear algebra. I graduated from Case Western Reserve University (Cleveland, Ohio) in January 2008 with a Bachelor of Science degree in biomedical engineer. In the junior year of my undergraduate, I had an opportunity to coop at DePuy Orthopaedics Inc., a Johnson and Johnson Company. As a student of the top-ten colleges in biomedical engineering education, this precious opportunity not only challenges my education, but also helps me to accumulate new knowledge about industrial engineering and R&D. I found this experience to be extremely valuable, and its value has been extended since I received an award in recogni

Graduating with a 3.4 GPA in Mass Communications, I have always been creative in both design and writing. I have earned a dual BS in Mass Communications with the emaphasis being in both Public Relations and Journalism. I also have a minor in Spanish, a language in which I am fluent. I have excelled at English since highschool and have written many articles, essays, and website content. Most of my tutoring has been in Spanish, although I would like to branch out into writing/grammar as well. My teaching styles vary depending on the student. I had one student who was an adult, moving to Ecuador for 2 years to work. I taught him the basics using methods such as flash cards, workbooks, and homework assignments. We met 3x a week for 3 months. In college I taught a Spanish course for a Christian Highschool near my university. This was rather different since the students were in their early tee

Knowing each child learns differently, an assessment of their progress based on test scores, observations and on-on-one tutoring, gives me the strategy I use to develop an individual plan. Some students work well in small groups and other need individual tutoring. I spent most of my career training adults. For the last two years I have been employed with Richmond City Public Schools as a Title I Math Tutor. Growing up, I had a family of educators to encourage me to strive to do my best. Tutoring in the Richmond City School system has given me the opportunity to tutor and encourage these students to strive for their best. I have found my niche because of my love for children combined with my desire see them succeed academically.

I have worked with college students in the past, working with comprehensive learning and mathematics. I learned that each student understands in their own personal way; some learn by seeing something concrete and for others it is working through the steps in the problem that helps them understand. I have also had the experience of teaching a freshman seminar class where the focus was finding the students strong point or drive and having them research their major or likes to find what job fields might fit them well. I love teaching all ages, but have experience working with college freshman. I believe that these students are at an age where they need to realize their dreams and need help to gain confidence within themselves. My strong point is within Math, but also comprehension. Written words and puzzles are not always easily understood. Some people need facts to help them learn or exa
