My comments on tutoring Study Skills : Expert at all Study Skills. Particularly good at showing students how to get organized and plan their study time and learn more efficiently by reading more strategically and taking better, more relevant notes.

I am currently employed by a college in Roanoke, Virginia as a tutor of mathematics, chemistry, and computer science and tutor elementary school, middle school, high school, college students, and others professionally. For the last 23 years, it has been so fulfilling working for three colleges and tutoring independently over 2,000 students of all ages in all areas of math and computer science, as well as college writing, adult literacy and English as a Second Language (ESL). I have a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics and computer science and am internationally certified by the College Reading and Learning Association. I love tutoring more every year I do it.
If you watch me closely during our sessions, you can see me secretly paying keen attention to you and how you learn best. For example, you might say, "It LOOKS like they want me to factor here." And I'll think, "Aha! LO ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

To ensure that a range of learning styles is appropriately addressed, I have experience in individual meetings, group designed activities, mentoring activities, one-on-one tutoring and traditional lecture settings. As a teaching assistant of an upper-level non-majors genetics course, I was available to tutor students who worked either independently or collaborated in small groups during class time. As a tutor, These past experiences help me to provide a meaningful educational experience to your child. Moreover, what I most enjoy about teaching is interaction. Educators provide powerful role models, and I would take this role very seriously. Students may lack basic skills such as the study and time management skills necessary for success.
As a personal tutor, I will rely on my significant amount of experience and understanding of biology gained from my education and participation i ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a Certified Public Accountant with over 30 years of accounting and finance experience. Although I have no formal teaching degree, I feel that I would be an excellent tutor. First, I have successfully trained many employees over the years. Second, my two sons, ages 21 and 19 graduated numbers 2 and 1 in their high school classes, respectively. Now, both are "straight A" students at the University of Tennessee. Here, I feel that I have lead by example. Finally, my personality, while being friendly and patient, is also that of a highly motivated "over achiever" who loves to help others. I feel that I offer the best of both worlds, a love of learning in an academic environment as well as real-life experience in the business world.
I love teaching and helping others, especially children. I believe that there are "no stupid questions" and that all children can learn. I think that on ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My education experience spans many areas. I have taught in middle and high school classrooms, have tutored for public school programs, tutored at after school learning centers, tutored in church programs, and managed a learning center as the human resources, business, sales, and education director in charge of all students programs from initial testing to post testing. My great pleasure in life is education and I have worked with students from pre-K through college age. My recently tutored subjects are science (biology and chemistry), math (through algebra 2 and geometry), study skills, SAT (and other test) Prep, reading and writing.
I believe that all students can learn if they are taught in a style that is most conducive to their learning style and motivations. To make that happen for each of my students, I try to assess their specific learning styles early on and get to know ... read more

I have a Master of Accounting degree from Virginia Tech, where I was a Graduate Teaching Assistant. I taught Accounting, Finance and Business Math for two years at the undergraduate level after graduation. I am currently Controller for a medium-sized construction company, and use all aspects of accounting and finance in my daily work life.
I focus on using examples from real business to explain problems and assignments in a clear, straightforward and step-by-step manner. I enjoy teaching and mentoring students and have been complimented many times by former students for my ability to explain complicated concepts in a way that makes them easy to understand. I believe it is important not understand not just the how of the work, but also the why, so that the students will be able to apply what they learn in the future.

I have graduated from two major universities and will attend medical school at Nova Southeastern University in August 2011. I have just recently graduated from USF College of Medicine with a Master’s degree in Medical Sciences and hold a degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of Illinois. I have extensive research experience in bioinformatics from the University of Illinois. I have one year experience tutoring in the underprivileged area of Urbana, Illinois; at Garden Hills Elementary I tutored kids from 3rd and 5th grade classes who had fallen behind the scheduled lesson plan. I have also tutored my fellow classmates at both universities throughout the years and graduated with a GPA of 3.50 and 3.10, respectively.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am compassionate, patient, and sincere. I employ various teaching styles depending on the age and needs of the student. For college and high school students, I ask that students bring their textbooks as well as notes to each session. I often prepare example questions for material similar to that tested on an exam. Not only does this allow the student with an opportunity to practice additional problems in areas that are weak, but also ensures that the student fully comprehends the information. When tutoring younger children, I believe active learning is best because many children are visual and/or kinesthetic learners. I tutor children using methods that best match his/her learning style.
As a recent graduate from the College of William & Mary, I have earned a bachelor’s degree (BS) in Neuroscience and a minor in Biochemistry. As a tutor for four years, I have tutored both college ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After graduating from Virginia Tech in 1973, I decided that I would enter the field of public education. After 6 years of successful and rewarding experiences in secondary education, I decided to return to college and obtain a Masters Degree in Education. Upon receiving my Masters in 1984, I taught at the post secondary level in both Virginia and North Carolina. At the post secondary level, I had the opportunity to teach a wide variety of subjects from Math to Business Administration.
I thoroughly enjoy teaching students at various ages and stages of development. I consider myself to be very creative, and I try to give the students as much hands-on experience as possible. I am constantly seeking feedback from the student in terms of how well I am presenting the subject matter, so my methods of teaching will vary. I am always open to new ideas. Failure is not a word in my teac ... read more

I have taught kindergarten for three years and Pre-K for one year. I have my masters degree in reading and literacy. I am currently teaching homebound for a local school system. I have a valid VA teaching license in Prek-3.
I enjoy teaching and working with students who are just learning to read. I believe all students can learn. It is my job to discover a student's learning style and fit my instruction to fit his or her needs. I have been using the program "No More Letter a Week" with my kindergarten and PreK students for the past three years. It incorporates movement, pictures, and songs when teaching students letters and letter sounds.
