Experienced and Caring Teacher

I enjoy working with children and adults and I have worked as a public school teacher for 10 years. I have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from the College of William and Mary. I have worked with autistic students in my classroom and with students who have a variety of learning abilities.
Students learn in many different ways. They have both strengths and weaknesses that play a role in their ultimate success. Learning should be student-centered.

Reasonable Rates for a Passionate, Experienced Teacher

I think that the most important aspect of tutoring is finding out why the student needs a tutor, and to get to the bottom of that, it is important to listen to the student and figure out what the barrier to learning has been. Once that is solved, whether it be a lack of interest in the subject, or simply a lack of aptitude for that subject (not all of us are math wizards, for example), I devise an approach that fits the individual student's learning profile and interest area. Teaching styles have to differ from student to student in order to meet that person's needs; this is what I do to maximize the learning experience.
I have been teaching Information Technology at both the elementary and middle-school level in private schools in Northern Virginia for most of the last ten years. In addition, I have tutored at high-school level in Chemistry and History. With both a Bachelor's ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Through earning my degree in biomedical science, I have accrued a significant amount of experience in both chemistry and biology. My passion has always been for the sciences, but I also minored in International Relations. I am well versed in all of the topics covered in my major and minor as well as several others. As a worker in employ of the school of sciences, I have been asked to tutor students in general and organic chemistry, physics and history and those students which I have tutored saw significant improvements in their test scores, while at the same time enjoying the experience of learning by understanding concepts, rather than memorizing information.
I know that each student has an incredible amount of potential and the trick to unlocking it is not in forcing a set way of understanding ideas, but in approaching each problem from several different fronts and working towa ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I will be graduating in May 2011 with a Masters of Arts in Teaching for Special Education and will then obtain a teaching license for Special Education, K-12. During my Masters program I have taught students in large groups and small groups, performed assessments on students, and planned daily lesson plans and curriculum for students in a variety of subjects. Through my years of higher education I have gained a love for students, children, and education for everyone.
I enjoy teaching students through a variety of methods including traditional, hands on, and student specific. Each student learns differently and as a tutor I seek to tailor the education to the specific skills and needs of the specific student. I believe the goal of teaching is not only to learn specific content and skills, but to inspire students to love learning, and make learning fun and interactive. I hope t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

If you looked over my resume, you would see that I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, a year of experience as an adjunct instructor at a medical career college and two years teaching English as a Second Language at a private institution. However, if you looked over my life, you would see that I have been teaching, tutoring and mentoring my entire life. I have volunteered as a mentor, a tutor, and a teacher in community organizations, in local schools, and at my local church; and I home schooled my own children. During my teaching career, I have worked with people from varied backgrounds, various ages, people from all over the world, and I love it.
What works for one student may not work for the other. One-on-one instruction is a great opportunity to find out which learning-teaching style works best for the individual student. I am patient, friendly and flexible. At the s ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a College graduate, I was dedicated to the advancement of myself and others. I have earned a degree in Mass Communications, yet have had the opportunity to Substitute Teach, be a Para-Professional, and also teach at-risk student in a one-on-one setting as a Homebound Instructor for 2 years. These experiences have garnered a sense of urgency within me to reach as many students who are at risk; students who often lack the background to challenge them to complete their education. I have taught these students in various subjects including, History, Math, Science, and English.
I love reaching students who are often overlooked due to their lack of mobility and interest to learn in a classroom setting. I believe that every person on this planet should reach atleast one person in order to excel as a person giving to the advancement of all humanity. This is my goal. I firmly believe that ... read more

I have a great deal of experience training fellow employees and have devised the system of show them once, let them do it once while talking them through it, and then let them do it once without assistance. This system also translates to teaching. The last step is the most important; it forces the student to think for him or herself and instills confidence that the problem is not beyond his or her level of understanding. It is very important to teach students how to figure things out for themselves – probably the most important lesson I learned at UVa. If a child knows how to utilize resources such as the textbook, example problems, and the internet, then he or she will be able to work independently through a tough problem.
Education has always been extremely important to me. To me there is no greater feeling than finally grasping a difficult concept and I love helping someone ... read more

As a graduate of Liberty University, I understand the importance of having a strong foundation educationally. With a background in business and analyzing numbers, I understand many math concepts that will benefit your company's goal. During the last three years, I have worked as a Academic Coach and Mentor for Lynchburg City Schools; there I provided one-on-one tutoring and life mentorship to over 100 students. I was also a homebound instructor for inner city at-risk youth where I provided one-on-one instruction for the students' core classes. I worked as a substitute teacher for Lynchburg City Schools and the Regional Juvenile Detention Center.
I have worked with children of all ages and I enjoy making a difference in their lives. Helping them understand that they can create their own futures by setting goals and working hard towards them. I care about the well-being of my student ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My experiences have spanned all ages and types of children's learning abilities. From a church setting, to a public school to a driver training car. As a substitute teacher, I worked on developing a good rapport with the students. And was always willing to assist them in working towards understanding the concepts before them. I am very patient and understanding with the children, because a stressful environment is not conducive to learning. I believe that a child should be able to learn while they are having fun and that positive reinforcement can go a long way towards helping develop good study skills.
I have a bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering and was a software engineer for over 25 years. In 2003, I was certified for Middle School Mathematics in Massachusetts. I have enjoyed being a substitute teacher over 200 days in various Middle and High Schools. I have worked f ... read more

The joy that teaching and interacting with children brings is indescribable; there are few things that can match the satisfaction one feels when a pupil finally "gets it!" I believe that true education comes through understanding. Oftentimes students are taught tricks or rules to help them through a subject area, but I strive to bring my students to a point of clarity; I want them to be completely comfortable with the subject content because they understand it, not because they memorized a formula. Therefore, I am a firm believer in teaching the material and not simply teaching students how to answer a particular question.
I am a recent honors graduate of the Virginia Military Institute with a degree in civil and environmental engineering. This course of academic study exposed me to a broad range of upper-level mathematics, physics, and chemistry. During my college career I vo ... read more

I am a recently graduated Master's student with extensive experience in teaching and tutoring and working with students of all ages. I currently hold both a BA and an MA in English, and while completing my Master's degree I was a Graduate Assisant, teaching two freshman level writing classes per semester. This position allowed me to work closely with students in the writing and research process, as well as providing me with multiple teaching tools to improve my instruction. In my undergrad I volunteered as a tutor for ESL graduate students, and during my summers in school I spent time substitute teaching all grade levels.
Throughout my last two years teaching, I have come to love teaching students in writing and literature. I believe one of the most valuable and long-lasting skills an educator can provide students with is strong literacy, and the ability to both read comprehensivel ... read more

I have been a teacher for 17 years; teaching at the elementary level, high school English, plus a variety of grades and subjects while tutoring online with eSylvan. I have a MA degree with emphasis in language arts/curriculum and instruction. Currently I teach kindergarten. I have been with Lynchburg City Schools for 7 years. I teach math enrichment classes with my district that meet after school for grades 4 and 5.
I like to incorporate technology into my lessons. I am flexible and able to adjust/alter my lessons to meet the needs of the children. I like to provide on-going assessment to parents and students. This also helps me so that I can best meet the needs of my students. I have successful classroom management tools that allow a warm, caring, educational environment.

A Little Bit About Me...

When teaching, I believe in the "wow factor" so the student can really see how much fun learning can be. When they are amazed with the world of knowledge, it makes their learning and my teaching so much fun! I am here to help students set and achieve their highest goals.
As a lifelong student and advocate of learning, I achieved a GPA of 3.75 upon returning to university classes as an older adult. I have many years of working in business, coaching and mentoring in several fields, which include accounting and business practices, such as customer service. While attending college, my happiest moments arrived with exceptional grades on research and theory papers. In the team environment, I am usually the "editor" since it comes so naturally.

I believe that students of all ages respond to humor, honesty, and respect. Subjects in which that students have difficulty can be made accessible to them by demonstrating to them the humor in learning something hard and the fun of conquering the subject. Learing should be something students enjoy.
I taught 7th grade Language Arts for six years when I lived in Florida. I collaborated on the team that created the Orange County curriculum for teaching writing to the middle grades. This curriculum is still in use today. I worked for the Princeton Review as a tutor doing SAT preparation both privately and in a classroom setting. This was in preparation for both the verbal and math skills sections.

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 substituted for grades 6-12. I have been a football coach at Liberty High School for 3 years and I have been a track & field coach at Liberty High School for 5 years.

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.
