You will see many ads by former or current professors trying to make a buck on the side. They are terrible tutors - they spent their whole careers having students beg them for a better grade. I have spent my whole life learning how to explain the most complex concepts to absolutely anybody. You will also see many people touting a related professional position as qualification. Many of them got their positions through nepotism and cheating to get paper qualifications (Some are my former clients) and neither have a good understanding of the material nor do they explain things well. I have run this business catering to client's needs for over a decade now. My rates are due to supply and demand - I have a busy schedule full of repeat customers and their referrals. I have many paper qualifications as well, but they honestly don't tell you much. Help with a particular program also depe

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. 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.

I presently teach at a K-12 private school for students with learning differences. I have taught students in all grades, K-12. This year, I have been a remediation teacher in reading (decoding), math, and writing. In math, I am comfortable teaching through geometry. I have 10 plus years teaching students with dyslexia and other reading deficits with their decoding and spelling skills. Through programs that implement Orton-Gillingham approaches, I have found great success. Teaching is not a job for me, it is what defines me. I have been teaching for over 13 years and still desire to do nothing else. I love my job and find great joy in making a difference in the lives of my students. I have high expectations and believe students can reach their potential given the right support. I believe I also have the skills to teach those students who struggle most. I seem to have the knack f

A year ago, I had the honor of substituting as an Assistant Teacher with an amazing kindergarten teacher. I learned then that she maintains her respect and passion for her career by following this mantra: "I need to understand my students come to me in the morning having already experienced some kind of morning of their own at home. I don’t know what that morning was like, but I can tell when it’s been a bad one. I have to be able to engage each of them, no matter what their morning was, and welcome them to the safety of my classroom. I want each of them to feel safe here, so that they can be excited about learning.” To this day, I follow and believe that mantra and pledge to make it work in all of my educational efforts. In 2007, I graduated from Penn State with a plan of attending graduate school for Creative Writing. I was devastated when I received three rejection letters from school

I tutored for 8 years before getting involved with the AVID program at the Middle and High School level. Concurrently, I worked with University Instructors teaching SAT Prep, Math and Reading Buddies Programs, and a summer school enrichment program. After obtaining my Provisional license with three endorsements (English, Journalism, and Speech Communications), I began my career as a full-time teacher. As a first-year teacher and yearbook adviser, I won trophy class with the VHSL. I enjoy being creative in the classroom, integrating technology, and engaging students in regular and advanced English classes. I've taught 9-11, revised a pacing guide, and collaborated with other teachers on a regular basis. I strive to make a difference in my students' lives by teaching them accountability. I use my sense of humor, but try to maintain a routine and strong communication. I believe in th

I love working with all age groups. I understand that everyone has a different style inwhich they learn things. What I try to do is learn everyones learning style and teach in according to what will make the most logical sense to help them learn new subjects. Teaching others is very interesting to me. As a Citadel graduate I was taught how to be a great leader. I have great organizational skills, analytical skills, and I know how to work with diverse groups. I understand the importance of helping others in the best way possible to help them achieve their personal goals.

I have a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on Special Education. I was a Special Education Teacher for two years and I've been a tutor for more than 5 years. I have learned creative ways to teach people with language barriers english from working in Japan. I have worked with all age groups for math, english, science, and reading. I enjoy the opportunity to teach individuals new things and opening their eyes to new experiences. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am a patient, easy going, and considerate person. My goal is to create an atmosphere where students learn and retain the information they need. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing creative ways to learn information. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. I am available t

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 classmates an

In the past year I have graduated with a double major and passed the Society of Actuaries' Probability exam. My experience in finding effective study techniques and quickly understanding new material allows me to explain subjects to others as directly as possible. I am determined to make the most of each hour of every day. Visual explanation and simple repetition are the most successful tools to help a child learn. I am patient and calm with students but not afraid of discipline. Before college I was a summer camp counselor for three years and part-time babysitter; jobs that taught me how to work with children. I hope to improve a child's life through improving education.

I love teaching and plan to retire as a teacher after thirty years. I feel all students have potential but need someone or something to bring it out. Most of the time, students just need to know that someone believes in them.I teach through verbal, auditory, and kinesthetic modes. Every student learns differently and through different means.I want them to feel a sense of accomplishment when they are finished. My philosophy is much like the old cliche, "Give a man a fish;he eats for a day, but teach a man to fish; he eats forever. If we give students the tools to be successful, they will be successful.Positive influences in the teen years make all the difference in the adult world. I strive to make a difference. I have been teaching for seventeen years. I have taught students of all levels and ages, from the student who excels at everything and does not need to study to the student

I enjoy working with children and helping them meet academic goals. As a tutor my job would be to find out how a child learns best. Learning styles can include auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. Children also need engaging,interesting, and varied activities during their learning experiences. Another key point would be to identify strengths and weaknesses and to build a plan based on that information. I feel that all children can succeed. I have been teaching middle school science for the past eight years at a local Middle School. My endorsement is in biology. For the past four years I have been enrolled in a master's degree program in reading at ODU. This May I will graduate from that program. My goal is to teach reading and work with struggling readers. I am also qualified to tutor biology.

During high school I took AP History and Government and past the AP Exam. I enjoy studying for Test Prep and enjoy helping students achieve their goals. I have tutored students for many years and enjoy working with students. I want to help and make a difference in each student that I tutor. I like to reach out to all of my students. I learn each of my students name and have them see that I want them to well. I also feel that students should be given assignments to work on during class and not lectured the entire time.

I am a very enthusiastic teacher and tutor. I love to see a student's eyes light up because he/she has had an "aha!" moment and finally understands a concept with which he/she had been struggling. I understand that all students have different learning styles, and I believe it is the teacher's job to tap into those styles and present lessons in a way which will appeal to the student. It is important to me to show students how reading and writing skills apply to their lives and how they will use these tools in their future careers. My goal is to motivate all my students to reach their full potential and to give them confidence that they can and will succeed in reading and writing. I graduated with honors from Old Dominion University, was a member of the National English Honor Society, and possess a bachelor's degree in English with an emphasis in secondary education.
