SAT - Verbal Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Virgilina, VA

As a graduate student I had the pleasure to both teach and tutor. I was a Teacher's Assistant for the Politics of the Policy Process for two semesters. As a TA, I led 20 students in section meetings, focusing on writing and communication strategies. Additionally, I tutored student athletes at Duke University for one year. I tutored students in numerous subject areas, including statistics, public policy, economics, basic writing, and political science. Finally, I have recently begun volunteer tutoring for 6th-8th graders in Durham. My experiences as a tutor and instructor have given me some of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I believe that tutoring provides a unique opportunity for an instructor to help a student with not only the subject matter, but also with study strategies, priority setting, and building self confidence. I have tutored a wide range of students, from s

I love learning and teaching language, and I enjoy sharing that joy and excitement with students. I am excited about seeing students overcome obstacles and reach their academic goals, and I strive to make that possible through my work with them. I set high standards for myself and for my students, but I understand that each student is special and learns in his or her own way. I balance my high expectations with humor, patience, and lots of support. As a veteran teacher of French at all levels, I have spent years in the classroom motivating and encouraging students to see their own potential and to strive to achieve their very best. I have a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in French, with time spent during my degree programs studying abroad in France, in West Africa and in Quebec. These experiences abroad have allowed me to experience other cultures and to hone my French language

I began 'teaching' as the head wakeboarding instructor at Coble Ski School in Lillington, NC, when I was a junior in high school. Shortly thereafter I took a position working at a beach resort in Pensacola, FL, where I spent an entire summer instructing surfing, kayaking and sailing. At Duke I tutored during each of my four years, either biweekly at a local Durham elementary school or at the Emily K Family Life Center. It is there where I tutored once weekly as a senior, up until I graduated in May. I have tutored in all subjects and all ages up through 22. When I approach a student I've never worked with, my first priority is to make them feel comfortable by letting them see that I am a very nice, friendly, and compassionate person that they might like to have as a friend. Next I try to get them to tell me about themselves in some way (what they've been working on, their favorite

I believe all growth in the classroom has to come from a positive relationship between the student and the teacher. The excitement of learning can only come in an environment in which the student is comfortable and relaxed. Accordingly, I relate to each student on a personal level and try to make each lesson as interactive as possible. When a lesson is interactive, the student will be more engaged. Furthermore, lessons are better remembered when reinforced by hearing, speaking, and moving. I come from a strong background in community building and civic leadership. I was drawn to teaching by the simple pleasure of working with students and the joy of being able to pass on what I have learned with others. During the last couple of years, I have worked with students of a variety of ages and in a variety of settings. I have experience ranging from teaching high school history, to serv

I am a very patient person, a trait which I believe is very beneficial for a tutor to possess. I am always patient when teaching, and in doing so have succeeded in getting my point across. I like to pass on small tricks and acronyms that I have came up with for many things, some of which I have still retained to this day for my own personal use, not just for school work. Since I am an engineering student, I have always been interested and excelled in math and science, so I have tutored many kids in all areas of science and mathematics. I have also tutored in Spanish and French. Last year, I worked with a young man who had dyslexia. I have helped kids of all ages, whether at the elementary, high school, or collegiate level.

As soon as I reached high school, I became interested in mentoring those younger than me and this passion still carries me. With the guidance of my mother, who has been a teacher and tutor for over 20 years, I began to tutor elementary school children in Math, Science, Writing, and oral presentation skills. My mother, as the founder of Gillin Tutoring Services, trained me on how to tutor most effectively. As a graduate of Duke University, I have had education in a number of subjects including, Mathematics, English/Literature, Spanish, Science (particularly, Biology and Chemistry) as well as the arts. I love teaching children through unique and innovative methods, whether it be through songs in order to help with memorization or presenting the students with real life situations to navigate through. I am mainly hands on and very visual. I feel that these are ultimately the best ways to hel

I have just finished all coursework at Duke University for BA in Mathematics. Next semester, I will work at Jordan HS as a student teacher in AP Statistics and Algebra I classrooms. I participated in the Budapest Semesters in Mathematics program in Hungary from Jan 2010-May 2010. Last summer I worked at NASA Ames Research Center doing mathematical modeling and statistical analysis of data for the Intelligent Spacecraft Interface Systems Lab. I have tutored math and literacy for grades K-12, and also taught at summer science, movie making, and drama camps. I am a native Chinese speaker. I believe a good teacher can push students to discover their intrinsic motivation for learning. I relate academic content to real world applications relevant to the students' lives. Learning with a purpose is where I try to focus my students. Working with children in the past has given me experience to wor

My students have always found me to be extremely enthusiastic, thoroughly prepared, and genuinely concerned about their progress and success. I am very patient and encouraging, and I will keep working with students until they truly understand the material. I have had great success with students of all ages including those with learning disabilities. I know I have made a difference in my students' lives. One student found me a year after I taught his class and told me, "I would not have gotten my GED if it weren't for you, Mr. Uscher." Rewards like that cannot be measured. I am a very experienced tutor. I have tutored math, reading, writing, history, ESL, and other subjects to students of all ages from elementary school through adult education.

I have a natural passion for educating youth of all ages and find joy in helping them succeed. No child is unreachable when it comes to connecting with them. The only true difficulty may be finding their learning style. Teaching is easy when you know your audience. Our country has put our youth in a state of desperation with regard to their level of education, desire to obtain higher levels of education, and the ability to compete internationally. I want to be a part of the solution in reaching our youth and reassuring them that they can still be and achieve anything they seek. Education is the central focus of my everyday life. I have obtained a BS in Management-Health Care/HR and 5 Associate degrees in Business Administration, Administrative Office Technology, Medical Office Technology, Legal Secretary, and College Transfer.

I enjoy both teaching and tutoring. I have a passion for helping those who require multiple levels of assistance with sever facets of the English language. Whether it be a need in decoding, comprehension, essay writing, creative writing, or even vocabulary, I have the skills to bring out the perfection in any student. I specialize in the education and enhancement of all students and I do so by making learning fun. Additionally, I believe that all children can learn and will learn when given the opportunity. When I completed my degree in English, I happily took on every challenge set before me as a teacher. Therefore, I have a plethora of experience to offer any student who needs extra assistance in both English (literature and writing) as well as literacy and ESL. Due to my diverse skills, I not only teach AP English IV, but I also teach the decoding strand of SRA's corrective reading pr

I have always had an interest in English, writing, and Communications. I have tutored students in both English, reading, and writing. In my undergraduate program I earned a BA in English and spent time working as a writer and Sports Editor for my college newspaper, worked as an intern at a newspaper, and worked in Public Relations as Communications Manager for a nonprofit organization. I believe that any child can learn and that we all have various learning styles. We just have to find the style that is best for optimum learning. Some of us are visual learners and some are auditory learners, and many of us learn with a combination of styles. I believe that by working with students to finding their unique and individual learning style a tutor is the most effective.

I have taught high school English at SouthWest Edgecombe High School for the past two years. In addition to teaching the writing test to tenth grade students there, I also taught eleventh and twelfth graders. During the past three months, I have been working at South Central High School in Greenville as a long term substitute while waiting to move to Raleigh. There, I worked with students preparing for the SAT and in creative writing. I have tutored students in all subjects I teach, and throughout my college career, I tutored students in middle school language arts classes. I believe that all students have the ability to learn. The key is that all students learn in different ways. I believe in working through different approaches (hands-on, visual, creative, etc) until finding the one(s) that work for each individual child. I am patient and considerate of student needs. My goal is to mak

My teaching style adapts to each individual I work with. I believe that one of the most important things to helping anyone learn is to instill in them the confidence that they can be successful. I believe that there are lots of different ways to learn, and I like helping people figure out what works for them. If someone wants to be successful and is willing to put in the work, I will find a way to help them achieve their goals. As a graduate of the Air Force Academy and Harvard Business School, I know what it takes to achieve excellence in education. I have earned advanced degrees in Engineering and Business. My love of teaching and coaching brought me back to the Air Force Academy to coach and tutor college athletes in math, science, English, and French. I also have extensive writing and speaking experience and have helped many students with college essays and applications.

I have worked in several schools and academic programs since August of 2003. These programs have given me the opportunity to both teacher and tutor students on all grade levels. I enjoy working with students and watching their growth and development academically. My approach to each student is different because I understand each will need a different approach.
