Award-Winning History Tutors serving Chesapeake, VA

From the first day of kindergarten, I have loved and embraced academics! Since school has come easily to me, I'd love to help others overcome their academic challenges and start to enjoy studying!

...since 1990. I have taught courses in English, History, and Humanities. I have taught at schools all over the country, and at both single sex and co-ed institutions. I have also worked as Director of a college Writing Studio. Recently I have begun working with middle and high school aged students who are homeschooled--teaching essay writing, literature, and history online or through homeschool co-ops. I also have experience with test prep, including the SAT/ACT and entrance...

Hello Students, I am a lifelong techie, computer scientist, and very much so in the field of development (teaching & learning). Consider me if you're ready to truly learn something...

...licensed teacher in VA for 12 years. I have experience tutoring students in math, reading, writing, and organization/study skills in the upper elementary grades. My personal interests are running half and full marathons and showing our Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy in local dog shows. I like to travel whenever possible. When I was in the military, I was a Korean linguist, so learning new languages is an interest of mine. My students tell me that I...

...work. In terms of my teaching philosophy, I place a premium on engaging the student; teaching is often fruitless unless you convey to the student that what they are learning has value. I also believe in identifying two important expectations: what the student expects of me, the tutor; and what the student's teacher/professor/standardized test expects of them. Establishing these expectations is, to me, crucial for the teacher-student relationship. Outside of my academic work, I enjoy...

...Mary when I was earning my Biology BS. My teaching career started as a life science teacher in middle school, moving on to High School where I have been for the past 12 years. During that time I earned a Masters degree in Special Education. I have taught AP Biology, IB Biology HL/SL, IB Environmental Science, AP Environmental Science. In high school I played basketball and lacrosse, and enjoy any type of sport.... Being an independent...

...style, tone, and voice. In Spanish, I have moved far beyond the basics of grammar and sentence structure to using the language in order to communicate and discuss complex ideas and theories in an academic setting. When it comes to my teaching style, I believe it is extremely important to get to know a student both personally and academically. Doing so helps make my job easier, and the student's experience more enjoyable. I tend to...

Second-year at William and Mary history major focusing on the 20th century, specifically experiences of non-westerners and otherwise marginalized voices. I believe that community and connection are essential to the human experience. I aspire to share stories with others through poetry and prose to contribute to a more cohesive society. Tutoring is a way to connect on an individual basis in order to facilitate the spread of knowledge.

I'm a freshman at the College of William and Mary studying finance and computer science. I've been tutoring since high school, and love how it allows me see familiar subjects from a different perspective. In my free time, I like to play rugby, spend time with my friends, and do Model UN. I can tutor most subjects that I've taken before, but especially love teaching high school math.

...wide range of instructional methods, understanding that a strategy that works well for one person might not work for someone else. I make it a priority to listen closely to my students in order to find the best tools for them. My goal is not only to help them improve academically, but to help increase their self-confidence as well. Outside of teaching, I enjoy writing my own fiction, baking, and spending time outdoors.

...school and into my college years. I have tutored peers in preparation for exams, and I have served as a mentor for multiple students in elementary and middle school. My favorite subjects to tutor are math and science, specifically precalculus and chemistry. Besides this, some of my hobbies include chess, abstract art, band; I play Baritone; reading. My teaching style focuses around practical and collaborative learning; I believe learning is easier and more enjoyable when...

...some of my tests look traditional and ask individual students to respond to carefully crafted multiple-choice questions. Some look more progressive and oblige groups of students to ask and answer their own real-world questions. Still others are embedded in classroom discussion and occur during Socratic lectures. Regardless of their form, my assessments attempt to authentically gauge how well students have internalized discrete and clearly communicated learning goals. Why teach? In the end, I teach because...

...biblical reference tools to enhance your private, or College studies. (And other Social Sciences couses) AT R. U. (Regent University) I was Theology Professor Dr. Williams assistant. I taught classes in his absence, and in addition during 2 of his Sabbaticals. I have always enjoyed engaging students finding what learning methodology works best for them (auditory, visual, or kinesthetic--learning-by-doing!) Each student has personal strengths, when recognized, help them to improve their learning capacity!

I'm a firm believer that all children can learn as long as you differentiate the instruction and use the proper strategies and tools to meet the individual's needs.

...passionate about reading and life skill instruction. In my college courses and professional development I have learned several skills to help struggling readers make gains in the areas of reading comprehension and decoding. I have also passed the Reading for Virginia Educators Praxis which covers a variety of reading topics and reading instruction strategies. I firmly believe that having my students focus on short term gains and not perfection, helps boost their confidence as readers...

...objective is to ensure you are confident in completing/answering the problems by yourself. Because when you believe in yourself you will succeed and are able to do anything. I will breakdown your lesson plans and cater it to you so you can enjoy it. What's the point of learning if you cannot enjoy it. I will answer all your questions and make sure you understand it; so please, do not hesitate to reach out to...

...your student (or you yourself) grow in the field you are currently grappling with. I have been fortunate to do well in my own academic pursuits: earning a Bachelor's in International Affairs & History from Georegetown University and a Master's in Education from Valparaiso University. I have taught for four years in a few different departments, but mostly in the social studies. I offer tutoring in the social studies, mathematics, and Spanish as well as...

...figure out what kinds of strategies and supports students need to be successful. I strongly believe in helping students develop a growth mindset, which they can take into any educational experience. I have been teaching in the DC area for 3 years, and understand the demands of the Common Core Standards, PARCC, SAT and other exams. I am familiar with ELA and history content at both the middle and high school level, and I also...

I am a practicing attorney in Washington, DC with prior careers in technology consulting and intelligence analysis. I have bachelor and master degrees from Carnegie Mellon University, a law degree from Washington & Lee University, and am licensed by the bars of Virginia and Maryland. I was raised in Tucson, Arizona and have lived many years on the east...

...speaking. I teach much the way I was taught: learning to recognize my own mistakes. I will never give a student the answer, but I will help them realize where they went wrong so they can focus on their mistakes. Especially in mathematical subjects, the true knowledge is in understanding the process of answering a question, and just knowing the answer is not enough. I work with students to recognize errors, and to help students...
