Writing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Tangier, VA

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. 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.

I've only published one book, but I love writing fiction, especially for children. I have written many successful grants, proposals, and other technical papers.

I have been employed as a Speech Language Pathologist in public school settings since 1989. I have worked with preschool through 12th grade. I enjoy working with all children, especially elementary. Although I am a speech-language pathologist, I feel confident I can work with students needing assistance in all skill areas. With my own personal experiences and knowledge base, I would be more than capable of helping children improve their academic skills so they can be more successful in the classroom setting.

Recognizing that each person has his/her own learning style, I emphasize "application" of material learned. I do this primarily by providing examples of information taught and require my students to do the same. My approach to teaching is to create a friendly environment with positive expectations to enhance the learning experience. Having been devoted to the welfare of children and families and valuing education highly throughout my life, I find tutoring a satisfying occupation. After vounteering my services for many years, I attained formal degrees in education, psychology, and counseling, with very high GPAs. I taught psychology and sociology for several years and have also tutored K-college individually and in groups for many years.

Students of all ages are welcomed in my world...from beginners to the senior citizen who wants to learn more. I strive to make the learning fun and exciting by finding what works for the student as an individual. They are not all alike and because of this, I find that "cookie cutter" style teaching doesn't work. If something doesn't work one way, I try to find another way to achieve the same goal. Rather than my playing a new piece for the student, I ask that the student TRY it themselves first....breaking it down into small pieces so that it doesn't overwhelm them at first run through. For the student who thinks they CAN'T, I tell them, "can't lives on WON'T street." Helping the student discover that they CAN is my concept of teaching. As an older student returning to complete my degree, I was driven to achieve my goal. I worked while completing my education and this gave me a better

All students, regardless of race, gender, learning disability, socioeconomic status, and cultural group, are capable of learning, especially if they have a good teacher. As an educator, I believe that I must be willing to step outside the norm to meet the diverse needs of students, in order to effectively reach them. This implies that I try a variety of approaches. Good teaching involves starting at the child’s level. Teaching that is too confusing, or not challenging enough, will only be a disservice. Simply getting to know the students prior to teaching is a start. I believe doing simple things, such as modifying reading assignments or making sure special learners have the appropriate accommodations will help students be successful. I am presently working as a high school instructional assistant and have been since 2008. For the past two summers, I have also had the opportunity to wor

I prefer special needs students because I enjoy finding what works for a learner and working around their preferences - and special needs children will often tell you, directly or not, their learning style. However, this is not to say it is difficult for me to teach children without special needs. I believe in explaining things in numerous ways to help a student understand, and this creative thinking to find a new way to say something is not only a skill of mine, but something I enjoy. Finally, I always believe students will rise to the level of expectations that are set; therefore, I always set high, yet achievable, goals to bring out every student's potential. I have earned my BA in Religion from The College of William and Mary. I have tutored every year since 2004 in situations ranging from private tutoring of special needs students, tutoring under-privileged kids and gifted kids. I h

For 9 of my 31 years in education, I was a classroom teacher. For 22 of those years, I was a reading teacher and instructional resource teacher. These positions required me to test students who were new to the district, do turnkey workshops for the faculty of the school in which I worked and also plan and devise curriculum suggestions with the administration of the school district. I feel that my experience will enable me to help students with their tutoring needs. I consider myself fortunate to have been able to help children of many ages throughout my teaching career. I ascribe to the philosophy which says that all students are capable of being successful if they are given enough assistance and opportunities to learn. I believe that with understanding, patience and the correct materials, all students can learn to be successful. In today's high-pressured societal demands, many students
