David G. - Merry Point, VA 22513 (15.6 mi) - Tutor - $45.00/hr.
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. 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.

Joseph L. - Aylett, VA 23009 (21 mi) - Tutor - $32.50/hr.
As far as I can remember I have always appreciated quality education. As a small boy I remember going to the small local library in Portsmouth, Virginia where the Librarian once said that she knew that if she would only have one patron for the day that it would be me.
I have worked in three libraries during my career. During college I was selected as a Librarian Assitant based on my interest, academic achievement and overall poitive conduct at the university. After college later on in my carer after college I worked at both the Main Branch and one of the other locations in the City of Richmond, Virginia.
I believe that education is key to success early in life and that a good education make a sound foundation for later success in life. This is one of the driving forces that causes me to have an interest in tutoring to assist students in becoming strong in areas of weakness. Further

Phillip M. - Mechanicsville, VA 23111 (22.2 mi) - Tutor - $30.00/hr.
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.

Christina T. - Mechanicsville, VA 23111 (22.2 mi) - Tutor - $38.50/hr.
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. 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.

Dana C. - Mechanicsville, VA 23116 (25.4 mi) - Tutor - $30.00/hr.
Writing & Public Speaking are my niche. As a tutor, I have helped students at all academic levels (K-12, and beginner undergrad) I've recently discovered a joy for helping others learn and am currently a substitute teacher in Henrico County Public Schools. My current students are primarily at elementary, middle school and high school levels. Throughout my sessions I teach and emphasize the mechanics of writing. I also assist students in test preparation. Many parents want to prepare their children/students for the college or specialty center of their choice. So Essay Writing and Reading Comprehension are subject matters that I work on with students to help achieve those goals. 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
