Eastern Virginia Medical School Summer Scholar My approach to tutoring is to first find which specific area is causing each individual problems. Once we work on that area and master the concepts, I will then go back an work with each student to figure out a study strategy that will work for them long term. The goal is for them to be able to be successful on their own in their studies so they no longer need me!
I am passionate about the sciences, and enjoy spreading this enthusiasm by making science and math exciting! Real world concepts, simplified explanations or complex material, and pati

Chris L. - Virginia Beach, VA 23462 (28.4 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $35.00/hr.
BS in biology graduated Summa Cum Laude UT San Antonio. Graduated top honors medical school. 2 YEARS surgical/medical resident training. Have treated thousands of patients and had to utilize knowledge of life science on a day to day basis for years. Having fun is a requirement. Learning in an environment where stress is taken out of the equation is paramount to retention of knowledge and key to success. I utilize anecdotal methods to convey concepts so that a student can relate the knowledge to how it fits into their own life or past experience.I try to get around rote learning when possible. However, when pure memorization is unavoidable, I have methods to incorporate that are tried and true and still hinge on the foundation of using anecdot. See one, do one, teach one is also another way I like to use. The student sees/learns, then does/uses what they've learned, and finally teaches t

Nikkia G. - Suffolk, VA 23435 (37.3 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I double-majored in biology in chemistry in undergrad, so the field of science and medicine is my first love and my strength. I have also received a Masters of Public Health Degree in Epidemiology, and have since completed my 2nd year of medical school. I have always had a strong affinity for math and english as well. I have a published thesis paper that was constructed and presented as required for my masters curriculum. I have been tutoring since I was in high school, and have tutored elementary to college level courses. I have a relaxed, stress-free teaching style, while staying on task and topic. I make sure the pupils really understand the material by breaking things down to the basics, and reviewing the foundations. After reviewing and application of the concepts, I have my students switch roles and "teach" me the material. I believe if you can explain the material to someone else,

Jeffrey N - Virginia Beach, VA 23454 (24.7 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $41.00/hr.
With one on one tutoring, especially of a foreign language the key should be conversation, while face to face. Practicing conversation, inventing conversation and writing conversation. Writing and word memorization activities may be assigned for the time between tutoring sessions, and discussed in the following session. Of course every person has their own way of learning and the beauty of having a personal tutor instead of a class is that the instructor can focus on his one pupil's learning style in order to develop the most effective and proper teaching methods. As a Virginia Tech Honors Graduate I earned a bachelor degree in Civil/Environmental Engineering. Through this path I have gained an understanding of both math and physical sciences. While studying I also volunteered at a local middle school to tutor children in math. Also, having lived in Paraguay for three years I have

Michael O - Hampton, VA 23666 (25.1 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $39.00/hr.
As a NOAA Corps Officer, I helped teach new personnel many facets of our day-to-day operations, from instructing new officers on getting their Officer of the Deck qualifications to preparing new survey techs for their hydrographer-in-charge qualification, and new deck hands assigned to my watch how to drive the ship and steer accurate survey lines. At Embry-Riddle, I often tutored friends and classmates, since I had a more advanced background than most of my peers. My teaching style is tailored to the individual. The first thing I do when I'm trying to teach someone something is determine their learning style. If they don't know it I help them figure it out. I do find that most people learn best by diving in and doing it themselves first, while I serve as a "safety net". Whenever I was teaching new helmsmen or junior officers how to steer survey lines, I would direct them how to do it th

Kathlyn O - Norfolk, VA 23503 (26.5 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I am a strong advocate in positive and affective discipline. In my classroom I will challenge the students to work to the best of their abilities. I will encourage cooperation in the classroom as well as respect towards everyone. I will observe the students' abilities and improvements and will asses their knowledge daily. My lessons will contain important information on all the SOLs. I plan to make each school day a resourceful and beneficial for all my students.
I believe the classroom is an environment where the students can discover and explore new things. It is a place where the students feel comfortable and secure. The students in the classroom will be able to move around freely and interact with their peers daily. I plan to facilitate the students as they come together as a group in cooperative learning. My classroom will welcome all students and will give them all an o

Torre S - Yorktown, VA 23693 (27 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $41.00/hr.
I had an amazing biology teacher in high school who was upbeat, interactive and made learning, memorable and fun. I try to take this same approach myself to figure out what is important to students and play on their interests and strengths to help them learn. I typically try a couple of different styles, like flash card memorization, word association (sometimes seemingly unrelated but the funnier and more obscure they are, tend to stick in the memory better), picture association, etc. Having effective discussions about subject matters, particularly with difficult topics, can help the student gain a more in depth understanding. At the undergraduate level, as a high honors student, I took the opportunity to tutor psychology and biology undergraduates. I also received a TA position for Research Methods in psychology. I also volunteered for 2 years mentoring underprivileged Junior HS stud

Beth W - Virginia Beach, VA 23455 (27.2 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $53.50/hr.
I believe in teaching the individual. Every student learns differently, therefore I have always presented the material in as many ways as possible. If you asked any of my former students what my favorite phrase was, they would say "you do what works best for you!" I have a passion for educating, I am flexible,and patient. I earned my BA in Elementary Education from the University of Iowa in 2004.I have a total of seven years working in the classroom. I spent my first year out of college substituting and covering a maternity leave. The next two years were spent in a 4th grade classroom in Illinois. I then moved to Florida and began teaching 3rd grade. When I moved to Virginia last fall, I spent the year substituting in grades 1-6. I have taught all basic subjects. I have also taught many inclusion classes and have worked with students of all abilities and many with specific learning disa

TIFFANY G - Hampton, VA 23666 (28.1 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $40.00/hr.
During my years as a biology student, I learned many aspects of the discipline such as anatomy and physiology, parasitology, and ecology. My coursework included completing scientific reports, research projects as well as various group presentations. My educational background is very diverse and I have been able to tutor in the subjects of earth science, english, biology, and health. I have also completed coursework in computer science, African-American, European, and United States history. I studied english, oral communication and literature and integrated that knowledge in my other courses. I have also conducted several health-related workshops in the community based on my academic credentials. I believe it is very important to teach students in a way in which they will understand and retain the information. Each student learns differently and I am willing to implement the teaching meth
