Literature Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Quinby, VA

As a college English professor and high school English teacher with an MA in English, I have had the opportunity to help many young people improve their writing and critical thinking skills. I have also tutored students from middle school to college level English on many occasions. I can help students at all skill levels become better writers and thinkers. My teaching style is best described as modern Socratic method. Questioning to elicit critical thinking is the essence of education. Many of my students have thanked me in later years for teaching the principles of clarity, simplicity, brevity and humanity in writing, as those principles haave led to job promotions and advanced degrees.

I prefer to relate things to the real world. For instance, when teaching anything dealing with Greek Mythology, I like to pick out something from the myth that is relevant to today (like from "The Iliad," the character Ajax is known as being stronger than Greece, and the soap brand Ajax has the slogan of being "stronger than grease"). I have loved English since I was in middle school. I went to college with the desire to graduate with a degree in English Education, but realized (after almost three years in this program) that the education program at my school was completely disorganized. I decided to drop education and pursue a degree in solely English with a special interest in literature. I have also starred in two plays that my church put on- one that required only actions and another that had a multitude of lines and musical sections. As for Sign Language, I have an aunt who was

I vary it the best I can to accommodate the student, though I believe that the most important factor is that the student be guided through the process and never just given the answer or denied explanation. As a graduate of university level education from the English field, I have written a great deal and have been extensively exposed to the writing process. A great deal of my education was focused on Education/Teaching in the event I decided to apply my degree in such a manner. I have some experience with students in the formal classroom environment as well as the one-on-one setting.

I have extensive experience tutoring in reading, wring and listening in the fundamentals of the English Language. While in college I also assisted fellow students professionally, but the concentration of my experience comes from student-teaching in the United States and teaching independently overseas. I tailor my teaching style to the needs of the particular student. Typically I will give traditional lessons, but will break up the curriculum into practical applications and I love to play games to enhance learning.

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

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 the first few times, and then when they felt ready to try it themselves, I stood back and let them, not stepping in until the absolute last second. Letting them make and try to correct their own mistakes seemed to be the best teaching tool I had. 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 hydrogr

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. My professional experience includes teaching all levels of high school English, including honors and special needs programs. I spent three years teaching English, communications, and vocabulary courses in a post-secondary career development school. I also have several years experience tutoring students of all grade levels, from kindergarten to college, in English skills, reading, writing, and verbal SAT preparation. 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 te

I am ready to answer your questions, initially. Then, I am ready to assist you in learning how to find the answers for yourself.

I know that learning a foreign language is a challenge for many people and takes a lot of commitment for everyone. I know what it takes to get from the point where you are struggling with a subject to the point where you are really enjoying the topic. All students are capable of reaching this point, it just takes a lot of practice, a little hard work and some fun. I will bring everything I have learned as a student and tutor to the table and will modify my teaching style to match the needs of the student. As a high school and university student, I regularly tutored other students in Spanish and other subjects, both professionally and on a volunteer basis. While I was earning my bachelor's and my master's in Spanish, I gained the skills required to help other students reach their foreign language goals. I was paid by George Mason University to tutor college athletes in Spanish. I ha

In preparation for completing my BS degree in Education I participated in Student Teaching. During my Student Teaching I gained experience in preparing, designing and implementing new and revised Planned Learning Experience that supported the assigned curricula areas in Business Law, Applied Communications (Business English) and Marketing for New York State. I was able to utilize a full range of resources, technology, academic personnel and faculty to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the Planned Learning Experiences that I presented. During this time, I created and conducted assessment tools based on all targeted outcomes set by New York State. I enjoy teaching and working with diverse academic, socioeconomic, cultural and ethnic backgrounds of students. I display a high level of integrity while being patient and empathetic.

Every student learns differently, so what may work for one will not work for another. I am a very hands-on and nurturing instructor who loves learning from the student even as I teach them. I don't like to confine a student in their way of thinking or processing material simply because it is how I get things done; to learn effectively a student must have a sense of freedom. With the proper environment and a patient and open-minded instructor, a student can achieve great things. I can remember the names of every teacher or professor who has left an impact on my life because of their kindness and willingness to listen to me instead of talk at me. It would be an honor to return that favor, in helping teach another. In high school I worked in the local elementary schools helping students with their homework in addition to supplementing what they learned in class with additional activities. I
