Read More About Kathy S...

I have been tutoring for the past 10 years before and after school both privately and group settings. I am a public school teacher now and would like to tutor after school for the 2013-2014 school year. I usually get a student in first grade and the student keeps working with me until third or fourth grade. I use a hands on approach and am especially good with LD and Add students. I am very familiar with the SOLs for the elementary student.

More About This Tutor...

My experiences have spanned all ages and types of children's learning abilities. From a church setting, to a public school to a driver training car. As a substitute teacher, I worked on developing a good rapport with the students. And was always willing to assist them in working towards understanding the concepts before them. I am very patient and understanding with the children, because a stressful environment is not conducive to learning. I believe that a child should be able to learn while they are having fun and that positive reinforcement can go a long way towards helping develop good study skills.
I have a bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering and was a software engineer for over 25 years. In 2003, I was certified for Middle School Mathematics in Massachusetts. I have enjoyed being a substitute teacher over 200 days in various Middle and High Schools. I have worked f ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After watching a documentary on teachers teaching in the inner city, I decided to switch my major from Pre-Law to Elementary Education. I've always loved learning and I wanted to be able to convey that same message to my students. In college, I majored in Elementary Education with a minor in Psy. of the Exceptional Child. This minor allowed me to study children who are gifted and children with special needs. I am currently working on a Masters in Special Education because I've learned an extensive amount of knowledge on this subject working for the Early Intervention program in my area.
I've always believed that children learn by doing. I would rather have my students get real hands-on experience because concepts can be better attained and understood if children get real experience with it. I also believe that children learn differently from one another and a teacher should be able ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a College graduate, I was dedicated to the advancement of myself and others. I have earned a degree in Mass Communications, yet have had the opportunity to Substitute Teach, be a Para-Professional, and also teach at-risk student in a one-on-one setting as a Homebound Instructor for 2 years. These experiences have garnered a sense of urgency within me to reach as many students who are at risk; students who often lack the background to challenge them to complete their education. I have taught these students in various subjects including, History, Math, Science, and English.
I love reaching students who are often overlooked due to their lack of mobility and interest to learn in a classroom setting. I believe that every person on this planet should reach atleast one person in order to excel as a person giving to the advancement of all humanity. This is my goal. I firmly believe that ... read more

More About This Tutor...

The chance to tutor peers in high school was the initial spark towards considering education as a career. During my undergraduate studies the desire has grown as I was given the opportunity in the role of Teaching Assistant. I found from those experiences that I have an ability to gauge a student’s comprehension of the material during sessions. This allows me to make adjustments on-the-fly and in the process become more effective in accomplishing the objective. In my teaching, I look to engage students through whatever means at my disposal with a primary focus on participation. Learning must become pro-active. My love for teaching comes from a teacher who showed that in everything they do, a true inspiration.
For just over a decade I have been involved in some form of peer education or mentoring. As a senior in high school, I tutored students in mathematics and science. As an ACS C ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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 ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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 ... read more
