Shakespeare Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Nelson, VA

Web manager and usability analyst as well as instructor. I have been asked at various jobs to teach training classes to my peers because of my ability to deliver an easy to understand lesson. I've been told I am very good at explaining a topic that someone has no experience with at all. I am on contract with NC States Computer Training Unit. I try to find the teaching style that is going to work for the student. Are they visual? Do they need to touch to learn? Finding out how to teach them and then helping them learn skills for independent study are just as important as the material.

I completed a course at UNC-CH on Shakespeare for my degree. I can quote Hamlet and summarize/analyze the major works, but I'm not a fanatic. I am a patient and understanding teacher. I enjoy fostering close relationships with my students so that I can cultivate my methods to best suit their learning style. I have a degree in English and Creative Writing from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and have two years experience writing for the Daily Tar Heel. I have also completed internships with the local NPR station, WUNC, and with the organization AGRADU (Advocates for Grassroots Development in Uganda).

I have a long history of tutoring experience along with substitute teaching at The Baylor School in Chattanooga from 2000 until 2008 and prior to that at various private homes for 2 years. I have a BA degree in Economics/International Studies/French from the University of TN – Chattanooga, a certificate in French from the Sorbonne in Paris and 23 hours in English from Arizona State University.

Most of my tutoring experience is with high school students and lies in French, writing skills, and general life/study skills for boarding students. I have also worked with elementary students in all areas of study. I evaluate each child during my first session to determine their learning style and their level of need. Once we establish that, I tailor a program of study designed to improve not only the current s

My students have always found me to be extremely enthusiastic, thoroughly prepared, and genuinely concerned about their progress and success. I am very patient and encouraging, and I will keep working with students until they truly understand the material. I have had great success with students of all ages including those with learning disabilities. I know I have made a difference in my students' lives. One student found me a year after I taught his class and told me, "I would not have gotten my GED if it weren't for you, Mr. Uscher." Rewards like that cannot be measured. I am a very experienced tutor. I have tutored math, reading, writing, history, ESL, and other subjects to students of all ages from elementary school through adult education.

As a Peer Tutor of Greek and Latin at UNC Asheville from 2008-2010, I led weekly tutoring sessions for groups of students in introductory and intermediate Greek and Latin. While I developed my own understanding of Greek, Latin and English grammar during this appointment, I gained an even greater understanding of the way different students learn and the means necessary to drive them to success. During my undergraduate career, I also pursued a variety of independent opportunities to help other develop their reading and writing skills. I hope to instill in my students a sense of individual responsibility by treating them with a shared level of mutual respect and trust. It inspires me to see students learn inductively, not through repeated lecturing, allowing them to develop the skills necessary to succeed outside of the classroom. I believe that anyone can learn what they wish with the pro

In my nine years of experience, I have taught an array of courses ranging from Developmental English, English as a Second Language, English Grammar, English Composition, Advanced Composition, to literature and film courses for more advanced students. I have also taught a wide variety of students, of all ages and social backgrounds and I managed to build a positive rapport with each of them. My teaching skills have been honed by this extensive experience and having to teach so many different classes has kept me up to date with the subjects I teach. While teaching my courses, I have a few goals in mind: to develop my student's critical thinking and analytical abilities, to make him/her keep an open mind to cultural differences, to help him/her overcome the challenges of venturing into unexplored intellectual territories and difficult texts, and, of course, to make him/her a confident and e

I love teaching and showing people how easy accounting can be and how much it helps you in real life situations. Most students get overwhelmed easily with double entry accrual accounting. I find it best to relate the material directly to the students personal life purchase and income habits. This way they can have a hands on approach and hopefully find the rules easy and helpful in daily financial situations. As a staff accountant for a large, global corporation (sales revenue approx. $250 million/yr) I have very much experience in all areas of finance and accounting. I specialize in journal entry writing and reconciliations. I reconcile both bank account statements and account balances with my master bank reconciliation having approximately $40 million debits and credits monthly.

Though I am a student of Biotechnology, helping others in the field of mathematics has been of interest in that its a common “language” worldwide. Prior to completing my General Arts degree, I had aided two individuals in math, an adult and a high school student in college algebra; and recently aided a coworker this past year in the same subject. In addition, I had later acquired 70+ credit hours towards an Electrical Engineering Degree, which further honed my math skills into the range of college level calculus, trigonometry, differentials, and basic statistics. Furthermore, I have experience in working with the public for 10+ years in customer support/service environments. All who wish to learn have but to ask for help. I believe anyone can learn anything they want and that no one deserves to be told otherwise. In tutoring math, the individual needs to have their homework present

I have had many years experience teaching students at the middle and secondary levels. I have an exceptional knowledge of all areas of English - American and British literature, composition, and grammar - demonstrated in part by my perfect scores on the teaching professional test, the Praxis. Additionally, I have had five years experience teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) at all levels. I have enjoyed great success teaching ESL to absolute beginners, with many of my students progressing from no English to 5th or 6th grade reading levels after one year's instruction. I enjoy teaching students at all ability levels. I have the expertise to challenge and assist the most advanced learners, and the skills and teaching strategies to lead struggling students to high levels of success. While all aspects of English came easily to me as a student, I have had other courses that challenged
