Phillip M. - Mechanicsville, VA 23111 (54.5 mi) - ACT Tutor - $30.00/hr.
I have over 10 years of experience in the education field with a special love for tutoring Mathematics. My experience is extensive as I ran my own tutoring business for 3 years doing mostly freelance work in college. The unique thing about my experience is that I have tutored ages 8-28 through my many recipients. I have a knack for getting children and adults excited to learn whether it is through motivation outside the subject area, or showing them that they can in fact do this. My teaching style is upbeat and positive. If I cannot be excited for my subject areas. Why should any student I tutor?

Jonathan V - Great Mills, MD 20634 (3.5 mi) - ACT Tutor - $42.00/hr.
I love teaching. Whenever a friend needed help, I was always there to help them out with their school work. I am a good tutor and I'm patient and considerate. My goal is always to make sure that they understand the subject rather than just having them complete homework. I have earned a Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering and working on my Master's degree in Engineering Management. Both degrees have helped me gain knowledge in math, science and in information technology. My grammatical skills are good due to writing a lot of research papers and lab reports. In my spare time, I had help other friends in the subject of math of different levels, from college algebra to Calculus III.

Peter E - Waldorf, MD 20602 (30.6 mi) - ACT Tutor - $46.00/hr.
As a coach, I pay close attention to pedagogy as well as to the needs and learning styles of my students. With a very interdisciplinary background education in materials science and engineering physics, I bring rich applications to the classroom and thereby place the teaching of mathematics and physics into context for my students. I integrate technology into students’ learning experiences - using PowerPoint presentations and/or handouts from my lecture notes and outlines, requiring students to fill in some intentional blanks during class or their private study thereby keeping them engaged on the content. I ask appropriate leading and probing questions to explore the student’s lower and higher order thinking skills – cf. Bloom’s taxonomy. A multi-lingual professional educator and research scientist with 20+ years of experience, I majored in engineering/energy physics and materials scie

Merry W - Urbanna, VA 23175 (36.9 mi) - ACT Tutor - $54.50/hr.
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. 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.

Sean C - District heights, MD 20747 (42.4 mi) - ACT Tutor - $45.50/hr.
I am Paine College graduate. I earned a BS in Mathematics and Computer Science in 2006. While at Paine College I took variety of science classes including organic chemistry, atmospheric science, and cell biology. Since graduating, I have spent two years as a high school math teacher. I have also tooken graduate work in mathematic and math education. For the past eight years I have also work or volunteered as a personal math tutor. Teaching is something that is not meant for everyone. I am fortunate to say that my academic success is due to my ability to break down any material to a basic ideal and teach the materials in mutiple ways. The most important thing I do is make the material appeal to any individuals. Once these things are established, I believe student can effectivly learn and grow.

Melinda M - Alexandria, VA 22302 (47.6 mi) - ACT Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I believe that each student is truly a unique individual with different strengths and weaknesses. I think it is important to work with each student on a one to one basis; assess their personal needs and focus on them. Not every student learns the same so it is extremely important to take notice of the different personalities and do my best to adhere them. I think that education is truly a powerful tool. I believe that with the proper instruction and overall support, a student may use their education to achieve their dreams. As a teacher/tutor I feel it is my responsiblity to teach with a passion that shows my students how I truly believe in what I am teaching them. Since graduating with my BA in English I have decided to return to school to earn my Secondary Teaching License. I have developed a great desire to pursue a career in teaching English; to hopefully teach young adults the be

Allison Q - Alexandria, VA 22311 (48.4 mi) - ACT Tutor - $40.00/hr.
My greatest strength as a tutor is that I know what it is like to have no knowledge of a foreign language. Thus, I am able to diagnose the particular difficulties a student is having and provide appropriate guidance in resolving those difficulties. I believe in repetition and drills, both written and spoken. In addition, I also believe in using the target language as much as possible. I will encourage students to use what knowledge they have of the target language in order to communicate with me. I used to be afraid to speak foreign languages, but several of my teachers were able to create a comfortable enough environment such that I was no longer afraid. I hope to do the same. My education in international relations and international public affairs has allowed me to gain knowledge in the social sciences and foreign languages. As an undergraduate student, I studied and worked in S
