Skyler M - Buena Vista, VA 24416 (10.7 mi) - Science Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I have been blessed with professors at the university level who understand the importance of one-on-one instruction. Through the "creativity" of thoughtful instructors I have seen myself grow and develop in ways that I hadn't thought possible. Every student learns differently, and once the instructor gets to know the student well enough and is able to tailor their lessons to the needs of the student, true learning happens. Teaching isn't just about preparing a student for a test; teaching is about creating and inspiring the desire to learn within the student so that they will be learn, not just because they are forced to, but because they are thirsty for knowledge. I have spent several years as a student and tutor at the university level. I am planning to enter medical school in the Fall of 2012 and as such have developed a strong foundation in the sciences throughout my undergraduate ed

Rebecca M - Fincastle, VA 24090 (15.7 mi) - Science Tutor - $35.00/hr.
As a recent graduate from Radford University, I am anxious to begin teaching. I have spent the last year in a middle school classroom observing and teaching. The first semester I was in the school part time while taking classes at Radford. During this semester I did a lot of observing and moderate amounts of teaching. During my spring semester, I was in the middle school classroom full time and teaching full time. I have no job expereince to show for what I've learned but would love the opportunity to begin. I have always wanted to be a teacher and love working with children of all ages. My areas of study were middle school science and social studies but I believe in my academic ability to help children across many aspects of learning. I believe all children can learn when given the opportunity. Some of the most influential people in my life over the years have been my teachers a

Shawn W - Bedford, VA 24523 (20 mi) - Science Tutor - $34.50/hr.
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 have helped different types of students away from school in various subjects. I love math and I am in the process of completing the requirements to gain a teaching license to teach high school math. 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. I believe that one should teach using a variety of methods because all kids do not learn the same way and each individual method shows something new each time. I believe that all

Kyle D - Lynchburg, VA 24503 (20.7 mi) - Science Tutor - $35.50/hr.
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 voluntee

Michelle G - Lynchburg, VA 24503 (21.1 mi) - Science Tutor - $36.00/hr.
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. I like to set my standards high and I am thrilled when my students strive to reach my standards. There isn't anything that excites me more as when a student finally "gets" a skill. I am a devoted teacher. I consider myself a life-long learner. 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 be

Gavin D - Lynchburg, VA 24501 (22.5 mi) - Science Tutor - $38.50/hr.
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 students and

Margaret C - Lynchburg, VA 24501 (22.8 mi) - Science Tutor - $36.00/hr.
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 else achieve that feeling. Consistently during grade school, high school, and college, other students came to me for help with their schoolwork and I enjoyed providing them with a new perspective, or recapping the teacher’s lecture. I have worked as a tutor for migrant aid workers’ children, helping them to learn English, as well as with Biology, Math and Grammar. I have a BA in Biology with extensive credit hours in Chemistry. I have also worked as a Chemist for two and a half years. I have always enjoyed English and Grammar and have consistently excelled in both. 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

Linda H - Troutville, VA 24175 (23.3 mi) - Science Tutor - $34.00/hr.
I believe that all children can learn but they don't all learn the same way. It is my job as the teacher to make the lessons interesting and present them in such a way that the student will understand what is being taught. I believe that students need to feel valued and successful and it is my job to help them achieve success in their education and to feel valued as people. I have enjoyed working with middle schoolers which is such a difficult time for so many trying to find where they "fit" in the world. I feel it is my duty to make them feel safe and secure in the setting I provide so they can learn. I am a special education teacher and have worked with a wide range of students with various abilities as well as disabilities: mental retardation, learning disabilities, emotional disorders, and autism. I remediate students with and without disabilities who have done poorly on SOL te

Amy B - Lynchburg, VA 17366 (24 mi) - Science Tutor - $32.50/hr.
During my years at Liberty University, I was provided with an outstanding education that challenged me to grasp the complexities of the universe. I currently hold a BS in Biochemistry and Molecular biology, and I have minored in Psychology and Chemistry. The combination of subjects that I have studied provides me with an understanding of math and the sciences and with the knowledge of how to communicate these subjects to other individuals. Furthermore, membership with the Liberty University debate team has provided me with superior research and communication skills. During the last five years, I have unofficially tutored many of my fellow debaters in the sciences and officially tutored in the areas of high school chemistry and algebra. I enjoy working with all ages of children because each age group offers unique opportunities. I love tutoring because it allows me to teach in a one on on

Avis W - Lynchburg, VA 24502 (24.4 mi) - Science Tutor - $53.50/hr.
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 same ti

As a student at Lynchburg College, I have had the opportunity to serve as a Peer Assisted Study Session Leader in general and organic chemistry. I will complete my BS in Biomedical Science in May 2011, with a wide range a science experience, from immunology to organic chemistry. The past 3 years, I have led PASS tutor sessions helping classmates understand and learn the material. I enjoy teaching because it helps students as much as it helps me. Being able to explain material helps retain knowledge and skills associated with the subject matter. I enjoy seeing students and colleagues be successful in their learning experience.

Saami S - Lynchburg, VA 24506 (25 mi) - Science Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I have 25 years of teaching experience in math and science at the secondary and tertiary levels. Concurrent with this, I have spent about ten years tutoring individual students and small groups in a variety of subjects for enrichment and remediation purposes. Typical examples of my tutoring/teaching include preparation for college admission, SAT, and SOL. Official recognition of my expertise is seen in my Virginia Teacher’s License with postgraduate professional certificate, which I have held continuously since 1992. An even higher level of honor comes from being a Finalist for the Sporn award at Virginia Tech in 2001 (in top group of 7, out of 192 professors with 480 nominations) after nomination by students “for excellence in teaching introductory subjects”. To complement my teaching in the classroom, I developed a web site to support instruction of undergraduate courses and I hav

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 to chal
