Award-Winning PSAT Tutors in Hampton, VA

I graduated from University of California Davis with a BS in Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior. I am currently attending medical school in Virginia. I enjoy tutoring and have been doing it in an official capacity for approximately 2 years. ... It is important not only to teach information to student, but to teach them the tools to problem solve and learn on their own.... In a first session it is important to discuss the subject and information a student wants to cover. It is also important to set expectations for me as the tutor (what the student expects from me) and expectations for the learning (I usually expect that a student try to study the material prior to the session and formulate at least a few questions for the session).

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.

...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 the same for many...

I am a former public school teacher who holds passion for learning and service. I believe my natural disposition for motivating others combined with my extensive experience in education will make me a valuable tutor for your student.

...hardship increased due to procrastination. Procrastination is a nasty habit that haunts 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...

...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 we will figure out...

...all ages helping them with their reading, comprehension and writing. I have over 10 years experience working with ESL students, but have helped elementary students with their reading as well. I have taught in the USA and abroad and have ease working with people from different cultural backgrounds. Maybe you have a big test coming up you need help studying for, I can help you prepare. Struggling on a writing assignment...no problem. Allow me to...

I love explaining things to people - and I've been doing it for about 25 years. I want you to finish a session feeling like: "Wow, that guy really helped me! (plus - what a sense of humor!)

...study volcanoes. I got into tutoring when I started working as a Teaching Assistant my Junior year of college. I fell in love with helping students and I want to continue to do that. When I'm not tutoring students, I enjoy reading and writing. I've taken plenty of classes that deal with literary analysis and editing. I really do enjoy that sort of stuff. I also like hiking and walking my dog, Marvin! Let me...

...so too are my students. More to the point, when I am unclear or even a bit ambiguous about the cognitive or behavioral outcomes I desire, the capacity of my students to learn is inhibited. As such, I am found of quipping "there are no curveballs in this classroom, only fastballs." Everything I do in the classroom is rooted in this philosophy of intentionality. For instance, in the service of bolstering student empathy, I frequently...
