I used to hate math, now I love it.

I received a BS in Horticulture from Va. Polytechnic Institute and State University. majored in Biology (Botany) for 3 years at Virginia Commonwealth Univ. and College of William and Mary. Recently retook Precalculus, Calculus 1, Calculus 2, and Calculus 3 at Virginia Western Community College. I have a background tutoring and running a tutoring center for STEM subjects at a community college for 3 years. I have been tutoring in some form for 6 years. I have a certification in tutoring ESL and several years experience in that.
i am pretty relaxed and informal, but I expect students to do the work assigned. I help, but I don't do the work for them. I use Socratic questioning to get students to understand the material. I stress learning concepts and building on them as opposed to memorizing or guessing enough to pass a test.

Experienced and Caring Teacher

I enjoy working with children and adults and I have worked as a public school teacher for 10 years. I have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from the College of William and Mary. I have worked with autistic students in my classroom and with students who have a variety of learning abilities.
Students learn in many different ways. They have both strengths and weaknesses that play a role in their ultimate success. Learning should be student-centered.

Reasonable Rates for a Passionate, Experienced Teacher

I have been teaching Information Technology at both the elementary and middle-school level in private schools in Northern Virginia for most of the last ten years. In addition, I have tutored at high-school level in Chemistry and History. With both a Bachelor's Degree in History, and a Maser's degree in Network Information Systems, I am qualified to tutor in both the Social as well as the Computer Sciences, with an additional capability in Chemistry and Math at the advanced high school level.
I think that the most important aspect of tutoring is finding out why the student needs a tutor, and to get to the bottom of that, it is important to listen to the student and figure out what the barrier to learning has been. Once that is solved, whether it be a lack of interest in the subject, or simply a lack of aptitude for that subject (not all of us are math wizards, for example), I dev ... read more

Enthusatic elementary teacher with a passion for teaching!

Enthusiastic, loving and passionate for teaching.
I taught for two years in third grade and two years in second grade in North Carolina. I am currently awaiting my Virginia elementary education license. I prepared third grade students for the End of Grade state standardized test, in which my classes did very well. As a teacher in North Carolina, I communicated frequently with parents, worked daily with co-workers to review student data for the purpose of remediation, and differentiated instruction to meet the needs of my diverse students. I helped to prepare students for the demands of a 21st century economy through daily use of technology, collaborative learning groups and hands-on, inquiry based instruction. Character building skills were incorporated in all academic areas. As an elementary school teacher, I prepared students to be independent, life-long learners.

More About This Tutor...

I am a firm believer in teaching a student using hands-on experience. Each child has been given the intellect and imagination to successfully compose and write his or her thoughts into an established piece of literature. By using a students own experience his learning process is instilled and encouraged by not only the teacher but himself. As the student progresses and he practices more, his work advances with him. A child must understand what is truly being asked of him, before he can successfully fulfill it, and the teacher must respect and listen to the student in order for her to help the student to excel.
For more than ten years, I have been teaching different styles and varieties of English Composition and Grammar as well as High School Spanish. Whether it’s a facet of elementary Creative Writing or developing a thesis for a high school term paper or designing newspaper adve ... read more

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 tha ... read more

I have successfully tutored students of all ages, K-8th grades, in all subjects. I have a nurturing personality that promotes self-esteem and confidence in all my students. However, I also set high standards and goals for each child. I'm firm in focusing them on what needs to be accomplished. I am also practiced at teaching kids who have different learning styles. My focus is to give support by giving remedial help to skills missed in classroom lessons. Working one-on-one provides each student with the quiet surroundings to focus on what they need to meet their potential as a successful student. I feel that my education, experience, and love of teaching will make a big difference in the academic progress of each tutee.
After earning my BS in education, I taught in the public school system in Memphis, TN, teaching first grade for 4 years at an inner-city school. That experienc ... read more

Even though I am not currently teaching as my profession, I am still passionate about education and would love to continue to teach/tutor in small groups or one-on-one. I am child focused and believe it is fundamental to begin with the end in mind by determining where the child is at and where he/she needs to go and develop both assessments and lessons accordingly. I am patient with students and enjoy leading them to discovery. I see myself as a "facilitator" of learning and love watching the light-bulbs come on as they grow and take ownership of their own learning. I follow the standard lesson plan: attention getter(hook), teacher model, guided practice, independent practice.
I always wanted to be a teacher since I was a little girl. After earning both undergraduate and graduate degree in education, I taught first grade in both public and Christian schools for 5 years. I att ... read more

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 challenge the student in many ways, while helping them grow into their full potential.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with children in a variety of settings for ten years. I worked in a preschool for 3 years and did an internship for four months as well as student teaching for sixteen weeks my senior year of college. I graduated Suma Cum Laude and then worked as a long term substitute in Roanoke City Schools. I then taught for one year in Roanoke City schools in a general education classroom.

I believe all children can learn if given the proper tools and attention. I believe in group work when possible and am always looking for ways to make learning fun and interesting for the student.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been told I have a three dimensional style of training. I teach in a way that every style of student can (eventually) get it. I have taught both children and adults in the various positions I have held through my life (camps, schools, employers and church). Nothing is more exciting than seeing the "light bulb moment" go off on an individual's face!
As the Head Trainer for Order Entry and Customer Service for ten years at J Crew I taught detailed customer service training for new hires. I also implemented and taught the Train the Trainer Program within the Lynchburg, VA Region 2000 community. I created a Remedial Training Program to raise skill levels among associates and taught Telephone Etiquette and motivational training. I also revised the Order Entry Manual to be used for all new hires.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that learning should be fun! My goal as a tutor is not only to help students understand and retain information, but also to develop their learning abilities in ways that will equip them throughout their lifetime learning experience. I am focused on helping learners to discover their personal learning style, and then teaching to that style so that learning is at the same time creative, structured, and memorable. As a tutor, I invest the same effort into teaching as I require of my students in learning. I am patient, adaptable, reliable, and a great encourager. I believe that everyone can learn when they have the right motivation, and will stick with it until my student and I can uncover their motivation to learn.
Along with my passion for learning and my commitment to excellence, my love for teaching naturally overflows in tutoring. In my first linguistics class, I was app ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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 time, I am driven to see tangible progress in my work, so that, ultimately, the student achieves his or her goals. Being a teacher is not a job for me; rather, it is who I am. Teaching is my service to others.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a graduate of Virginia Tech, with an interior design degree. I have taken many english and science classes. Also writing is a strong area of mine, since I have had to write many papers and essays. I worked at Blacksburg Daycare and Child Development Center for 4 1/2 years. There I taught all ages from 6 weeks to preschool. I also have children of my own.
I enjoy working with children. I believe we are here to help this young generation strive to the fullest of their potential, and give them every opportunity to succeed. I would like the opportunity to help children succeed in improving their education one step at a time.
