A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is upbeat and positive. If I cannot be excited for my subject areas. Why should any student I tutor?
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.

More About This Tutor...

As a college English professor and high school English teacher with an MA in English, I have had the opportunity to help many young people improve their writing and critical thinking skills. I have also tutored students from middle school to college level English on many occasions. I can help students at all skill levels become better writers and thinkers.
My teaching style is best described as modern Socratic method. Questioning to elicit critical thinking is the essence of education. Many of my students have thanked me in later years for teaching the principles of clarity, simplicity, brevity and humanity in writing, as those principles haave led to job promotions and advanced degrees.

My comments on tutoring Spelling : English Major

I like to see examples of what the person is having difficulty with in order to pinpoint problems and then work on them from there.
I am currently an English major, specifying in creative writing, at Virginia Tech. In high school, I took both of the offered AP English courses and passed with a 4 on both. In college, almost every class I have taken has been English-oriented, with regards to either literature or writing. When it comes to helping others, I have been editing friends' papers some in high school and multiple times weekly in college. I am able to find what they are doing wrong and constructively advise ways to fix their problems with writing.

All Things Writing!!!

In Writing... I generally give my students a mild assessment to see how I can best help them. I also conduct all of my own lesson planning. However, I am certainly accustomed to helping students with current academic work they may already have from their current classes. The first thing that I typically help students do is get pass the creativity block (if needed). Even I, like all writers have suffered from the inability to start my essay because I didn't know what to write about or how to collect ideas for my topic. So the first thing I do for my student writers is help them employ a couple brainstorming techniques to get their ideas going. The second thing I show my writers is what I call the Order of an Essay. This involves arranging and writing the ideas in the order that constructs a well-written essay. This is usually the biggest thing that most student writers strug ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have been employed as a Speech Language Pathologist in public school settings since 1989. I have worked with preschool through 12th grade. I enjoy working with all children, especially elementary. Although I am a speech-language pathologist, I feel confident I can work with students needing assistance in all skill areas. With my own personal experiences and knowledge base, I would be more than capable of helping children improve their academic skills so they can be more successful in the classroom setting.

Bienvenidos!

Hi! My name is Lauren Cotman. I am a middle school Spanish teacher in Chesterfield County. I have been studying Spanish since I was in the 6th grade and went on to become the President of the Spanish National Honors Society while I was in High School. While in High School, I developed a love for the language and all of the different cultures of the Spanish speaking world. I went on to major in Spanish at Bridgewater College and I was very active with the Latino population on campus and in the community. I went on to further my knowledge by studying abroad in Cuernavaca, Mexico and in Barcelona, Spain. From these two experiences I walked away with a much more impressive knowledge of the language but also experiences that I will have with me for the rest of my life. I look forward to being able to help your Spanish student develop the foundation and skills that will allow for he/she ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I find it important to identify the needs of each student and develop a customized tutoring strategy. Providing several examples allows the student to convert the information in the most useful manner. Whether a student is a visual, auditory, or mechanics based learner, I utilize a teaching method that will provide the best source of memory recognition. When students realize that they can succeed in a subject, regardless of the obstacles, they will establish confidence in their abilities. I hope to inspire and share my passion and methods for learning with as many students as possible.
Throughout my academics, I have found a natural ability to excel in all mathematics and english related courses. For example, I hold a track record of nearly straight A's, in all mathematics courses. Over the course of several years, I have led and coordinated tutoring sessions for fellow classma ... read more

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.

I prefer special needs students because I enjoy finding what works for a learner and working around their preferences - and special needs children will often tell you, directly or not, their learning style. However, this is not to say it is difficult for me to teach children without special needs. I believe in explaining things in numerous ways to help a student understand, and this creative thinking to find a new way to say something is not only a skill of mine, but something I enjoy. Finally, I always believe students will rise to the level of expectations that are set; therefore, I always set high, yet achievable, goals to bring out every student's potential.
I have earned my BA in Religion from The College of William and Mary. I have tutored every year since 2004 in situations ranging from private tutoring of special needs students, tutoring under-privileged kids and gifted kid ... read more
