Award-Winning ACT Math Tutors in Portsmouth, VA

I went to West Point as a Physics and Nuclear Engineering double major, and have always loved to teach and help others to enjoy learning math and science. I've spent time helping students ranging from 6th grade to seniors in college. I immensely enjoy what I do, and that passion is what fuels my tutoring style.... The most important step towards understanding problems and mastering subjects is learning the underlying concepts before attempting to jump through...

...everyone. That is more reason why I should tutor others. I have a deeper understanding why students struggle in their subjects. I know where the roadblocks are and how to overcome them. I no longer have trouble hearing ever since I undergone ear surgery and changed my life dramatically. I still feel like I am playing catch up, but that seems not to be the case in all areas. Everyone is playing catch up in...

...student in Religious Studies at UNC Chapel Hill, looking to supplement my stipend with some tutoring jobs. I take my role as an educator very seriously, committing a great deal of time and energy to my courses at the University, and drawing upon my experience as both a high school and middle school teacher in the past. I have always enjoyed working with kids in recreational (summer camp) and educational capacities, and hope to do...

...have also tutored friends and family in Algebra and developmental math. When tutoring, my goal is to support students as they complete assignments, helping them accurately assess if they've met the assignment's criteria and enabling them to submit their best possible work. I prefer to focus on long-term goals, so in addition to helping students complete individual assignments, I seek to help them acquire an in-depth understanding of the subjects they are studying.

...this December. I've been in the business of education since I was in 6th grade and finally started getting paid for it nearly 3 years ago. I'm big on empowerment and not making short term fixes but instead long term fixes so that on test day you won't need me. I'm super excited to be getting the chance to work with as many of you as I can and I can't wait to make a...

...global scale for the good of mankind. I firmly believe in the "reach one teach one" philosophy because for every person I reach out and help hopefully they too can reach out and teach somebody else what I taught them and we all can grow as a unified whole one person at a time. This has ultimately led me to get involved in numerous tutoring and mentoring opportunities to give back and help out on...

...at the University of Florida and I am here to help you succeed in whatever course or subject you are struggling in! I've been on my fair share of tutoring sites, excluding Varsity Tutors, that have made me feel dumb for asking questions or not knowing but that is something I will hopefully never make you feel! My sole objective is to help you learn, and maybe even have fun learning:) So ask away and...

...I encourage them to ask questions until they fully understand the material. I practice the Socratic method of tutoring. I don't give students the answers; I ask them probing questions to gauge their level of understanding and elicit the correct answers from them. When they're wrong, I ask students why they're wrong. This makes them independent thinkers and boosts their confidence. Preparing for timed, standardized tests requires a different skill set. I teach students to...

...subordinates through the process of achieving complex training certifications and professional qualifications. As a student, I actively elevate the capabilities of those around me by fostering an environment of collaboration and respect. As a teacher, I pride myself on my ability to tailor a lesson to the person i'm instructing and to progress at their pace. I am a driven individual who is promising to satisfy the educational needs and well-being of the students that...

...honor society. My primary tutoring experience has mainly been with entry level college students in the fields of science, math, and engineering. I am a firm proponent of learning and understanding the mechanisms involved in solving problems as this results in a wider application of knowledge as compared to solving simply for an answer. In my spare time I enjoy science fiction literature and keep myself busy with lots of running and hiking outdoors.
