Terrence C. - Norfolk, VA 23518 (26.7 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $37.50/hr.
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 their positions through nepotism and cheating to get paper qualifications (Some are my former clients) and neither have a good understanding of the material nor do they explain things well. I have run this business catering to client's needs for over a decade now. My rates are due to supply and demand - I have a busy schedule full of repeat customers and their referrals. I have many paper qualifications as well, but they honestly don't tell you much. Help with a particular program also depe

Leslie S - Newport News, VA 23602 (8.1 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $39.50/hr.
Teaching is not a job for me, it is what defines me. I have been teaching for over 13 years and still desire to do nothing else. I love my job and find great joy in making a difference in the lives of my students. I have high expectations and believe students can reach their potential given the right support. I believe I also have the skills to teach those students who struggle most. I seem to have the knack for breaking it down for them so they can understand. I presently teach at a K-12 private school for students with learning differences. I have taught students in all grades, K-12. This year, I have been a remediation teacher in reading (decoding), math, and writing. In math, I am comfortable teaching through geometry. I have 10 plus years teaching students with dyslexia and other reading deficits with their decoding and spelling skills. Through programs that implement Orto

Cara W - Newport News, VA 23606 (12.6 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $42.50/hr.
A year ago, I had the honor of substituting as an Assistant Teacher with an amazing kindergarten teacher. I learned then that she maintains her respect and passion for her career by following this mantra: "I need to understand my students come to me in the morning having already experienced some kind of morning of their own at home. I don’t know what that morning was like, but I can tell when it’s been a bad one. I have to be able to engage each of them, no matter what their morning was, and welcome them to the safety of my classroom. I want each of them to feel safe here, so that they can be excited about learning.” To this day, I follow and believe that mantra and pledge to make it work in all of my educational efforts. In 2007, I graduated from Penn State with a plan of attending graduate school for Creative Writing. I was devastated when I received three rejection letters from school

Dorothy S - Williamsburg, VA 23185 (13.3 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $36.50/hr.
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. I believe in thinking outside the box. All children are capable of success if there are people in their lives who believe in them and support them. Education is so important. It is the only way to truly make the world a better place. I tutored for 8 years before getting involved with the AVID program at the Middle and High School level. Concurrently, I worked with University Instructors teaching SAT Prep, Math and Reading Buddies Programs, and a summer school enrichment program. After obtaining my Provisional license with three endorsements (English, Journalism, and Speech Communications), I began my career as a full-time teacher. As a first-year teacher and yearbook adviser, I won trophy class with the VHSL. I enjo

I have a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on Special Education. I was a Special Education Teacher for two years and I've been a tutor for more than 5 years. I have learned creative ways to teach people with language barriers english from working in Japan. I have worked with all age groups for math, english, science, and reading. I enjoy the opportunity to teach individuals new things and opening their eyes to new experiences. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways.

Merry W - Urbanna, VA 23175 (21.3 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $54.50/hr.
Recognizing that each person has his/her own learning style, I emphasize "application" of material learned. I do this primarily by providing examples of information taught and require my students to do the same. My approach to teaching is to create a friendly environment with positive expectations to enhance the learning experience. Having been devoted to the welfare of children and families and valuing education highly throughout my life, I find tutoring a satisfying occupation. After vounteering my services for many years, I attained formal degrees in education, psychology, and counseling, with very high GPAs. I taught psychology and sociology for several years and have also tutored K-college individually and in groups for many years.

Kristen W - Norfolk, VA 23505 (24.9 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $38.00/hr.
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. 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.

Karen H - Norfolk, VA 23505 (25.1 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $42.00/hr.
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 who is struggling to read and comprehend. I have been successful throughout my career with excellent test scores for my students. Throughout my teaching experience, I have learned and perfected many different ways to teach concepts to students according to their ability level. I feel that all students have the ability to succeed, just at different levels. During the span of my career, I have taught English,Reading, Phonics, Writing, SAT Prep, Biology, US History, Algebra, and Spanish. I love to see students become proud of themselves. 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

Jean G - Portsmouth, VA 23703 (25.4 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $39.50/hr.
I enjoy working with children and helping them meet academic goals. As a tutor my job would be to find out how a child learns best. Learning styles can include auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. Children also need engaging,interesting, and varied activities during their learning experiences. Another key point would be to identify strengths and weaknesses and to build a plan based on that information. I feel that all children can succeed. I have been teaching middle school science for the past eight years at a local Middle School. My endorsement is in biology. For the past four years I have been enrolled in a master's degree program in reading at ODU. This May I will graduate from that program. My goal is to teach reading and work with struggling readers. I am also qualified to tutor biology.

Over the course of several years, I have led and coordinated tutoring sessions for fellow classmates and other individuals seeking assistance in mathematics, statistics and english related courses.

Larry R - Chesapeake, VA 23320 (33.8 mi) - Testing Skills Tutor - $52.50/hr.
My teaching style consists of incorporating all learning styles of most people in order to achieve the highest level of comprehension in course subjects. I believe that most students gain the best understanding when they are required to use their auditory skills, while visualizing the information, and writing the information for the practice of kinesthetic learning. It is imperative that the learning environment is entertaining yet informative so that the students view the learning process as fun. Any additional learning techniques or styles may be applied to accommodate all children in need. I have worked for Norfolk City Public Schools and Virginia Beach City Public Schools as a substitute teacher for approximately six years. During that period I performed a multitude of jobs including long term substitute positions, teaching high school physics, and performed tasks far beyond the para
