Poetry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Richmond, VA

I have over 10 years of experience in the education field with a special love for tutoring Mathematics. My experience is extensive as I ran my own tutoring business for 3 years doing mostly freelance work in college. The unique thing about my experience is that I have tutored ages 8-28 through my many recipients. I have a knack for getting children and adults excited to learn whether it is through motivation outside the subject area, or showing them that they can in fact do this. My teaching style is upbeat and positive. If I cannot be excited for my subject areas. Why should any student I tutor?

Writing & Public Speaking are my niche. As a tutor, I have helped students at all academic levels (K-12, and beginner undergrad) I've recently discovered a joy for helping others learn and am currently a substitute teacher in Henrico County Public Schools. My current students are primarily at elementary, middle school and high school levels. Throughout my sessions I teach and emphasize the mechanics of writing. I also assist students in test preparation. Many parents want to prepare their children/students for the college or specialty center of their choice. So Essay Writing and Reading Comprehension are subject matters that I work on with students to help achieve those goals. In Writing... I generally give my students a mild assessment to see how I can best help them. I also conduct all of my own lesson planning. However, I am certainly accustomed to helping students with current

In college I was a "student instructor" in my university's writing lab, which is just another way of saying that I was a tutor. Post graduation, I now have experience with journalism as I've written articles for The Style Vibe and Green Label, both highly respected online magazines. Also as a creative writer I have published numerous short stories as well as a few poems. I currently have two novellas under review for publication. My teaching style is very hands on and unique. I focus on the writer's voice above all because without that, they are only writing words with no soul behind them.

My first goal as an instructor is to get to know the student. English, my content area, is very applicable to students' lives and everyday experiences and knowing the student personally allows me to relate the material to what they already know. I create a scaffold, building up their lived experiences to enable understanding before branching out and expanding their knowledge limits. I begin with the foundations and work my up. It is important for me to get to know the students individually so I can build a working relationship and a level of trust between instructor and student so that learning can take place in a positive environment. I worked as an Instructional Assistant with students in secondary English, History and Algebra I courses. I aided students with learning disabilities who were placed in mainstream academic classrooms and provided one-on-one instruction so they could h

My teaching experience includes: underwriting skills enhancement for professional insurance agents; tutoring for Sylvan of kindergarten-age students through high school seniors; and introducing the building blocks of reading skills and math skills to elementary age children. Learning can be interesting, fun, challenging and enriching. I find I can assist students by using my sense of humor; adapting to a student’s most effective way to learn (auditory, visual, contextual, etc.); and using my work experiences to help students make real world connections to abstract learning. I love seeing that flash in a student’s eyes because of something I did or said that allowed them to grasp the material we are studying. I am certified to teach students of kindergarten age through the 6th grade. I taught all subjects including math, reading, history, science, social studies, etc. This certif

In the course of my education and professional career I have always found myself attracted to positions where I am passing on knowledge and skills to others. During my education at JMU I learned various skills in the area of scientific research, mathematical analysis, and the extensive writing skills that allow one to express their accomplishments in such research. Before graduating, it became my duty to train and educate the students who would be taking over my research. My skills were amplified and expanded by my experiences working for Lifesensors Inc. and VCU. In both situations I had taken over the role as the educator for new comers and it is a role that I thoroughly enjoy and succeed in playing. I have a great deal of passion for teaching. When educating a person of any age, I make it my goal to create an experience that is as intellectually fulfilling for them as it is for me. I
