Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Alexandria, VA

...I taught French for beginners. I also volunteered my time tutoring minority students aged 5 to 14 at the public library near where I attended college. These experiences have shaped my teaching philosophy; I believe that what most students lack is someone to believe in them; someone to build their confidence and help them take learning into their own hands. Therefore, I assess each student’s needs and learning techniques, so as to tailor my teaching...

...when you can tell a teacher not only loves teaching, but also loves the topic they are teaching, it becomes contagious! That type of energy always helped me when I was learning a new subject. It sounds cliché, but learning really can be fun. So much of it has to do with a student’s mindset, and my genuine enthusiasm when it comes to learning new things and problem-solving sets the tone for a positive learning...

I am a recent graduate of American University in Washington, DC, where I took many courses in English Language Teaching.

I'm studying to become a part of the growing space technology and policy field, but I also miss my students. This is where tutoring comes in. One-on-one teaching is the best kind. Teaching an entire class is a special skill, but tailoring instruction...

...many students are unsure of exactly how to study for Math exams and I believe I provide good instruction for how students may best prepare in their personal study time. Generally, when students have difficulty with problems I prefer to have them work them for themselves and talk them through any stumbles they may have. I find this aids retention better than simply having them observe me doing the problems for them. I work with...

...world" from Brandeis University, learning is mistakenly perceived by many of my peers as nearly finished; however, the learning process is always ongoing and changing. Learning happens every day and it is often unseen or even unknown to many people. My personal philosophy is also my personal philosophy in playing/watching sports: the fundamentals and little things are the big things. Whether it is playing ultimate frisbee, basketball, football, by doing the small things correct and...

...knows. Whether it is due to class size, student confidence or even the general lack of understanding tutors can act as buffer in such situations that affect the student's' overall education. In tutoring, as for many other instructional based programing, such situations can arise, but the general difference is that the tutor can dissect the content and build understanding alongside the student on a smaller scale. The student is now one-on-one with the instructor and...

...some of the services I offer to facilitate a better and effective tutoring: I take my time initially to learn a student's learning habits and quickly adapt to it.

Children are the...

...the pro's. So I decided to take a look around at the opportunities my college had to offer. I remember walking through the halls of my school thinking that elementary education was a way I could have a gigantic impact on not just one person but groups of people. I had no idea what the real challenges associated with teaching were. It was a struggle but for those little people that attended my class daily...
