Award-Winning Social Studies Tutors serving Portsmouth, VA

...each topic applicable to real life. I also make sure it is fun- because if you're going to learn something it may as well be enjoyable. I know that all students learn differently, so I incorporate a number of different teaching methods to ensure that I reach all students. I am very hands on and encourage my students to ask lots of questions. When I'm not being a super nerd, I enjoy spending time with...

...success. It opens doors that cannot be closed because you have achieved something special that cannot be taken away. I have a masters degree in business administration from the University of Phoenix, which is a great school. One of my favorite subject is English Literature. I love it because it tells fantastic stories, and I love a good story. When talking with my students I like to make my class interesting by incorporating some fun...

...tutoring with Varsity Tutors! I am currently a senior at Old Dominion University majoring in Biology with an interest in Wildlife Biology. However, I have a high interest in languages, as I have been studying Japanese for 10 years, Chinese for 2, and Italian for the past year! I also enjoy spending time with my 2 dogs, my enormous black cat, and writing. Don't hesitate to contact me, I love meeting new people!

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.

...I'm finishing my bachelors in accounting 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...

...my teaching certification. I am certified to teach middle school math (including algebra), ELA, and science; math is my passion. When not teaching, I love to travel. On my bucket list are seeing the brown bears in Katmai, Alaska and polar bears in Churchill, Canada as well as Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland. I cherish working with learners, facilitating the skills that will help them open doors that will maximize their potential to positively engage...

...the art of language: speaking it, writing it, reading it, and teaching it. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in French Language with First Class Honors from Covenant University in Nigeria, and although I didn't get a chance to formally teach in the classroom, I have always had an interest in passing on the knowledge of such a beautiful language, having tutored students on Grammar and Reading comprehension.

I believe education is the foundation for a thriving society. Every student deserves an inclusive environment where they feel safe and encouraged to express their thoughts. My teaching philosophy centers on nurturing curiosity, critical thinking, and fostering relationships built on trust and respect.

I help learners develop the cognitive, language, physical, and social skills required to be successful. I help inspire learners to develop the self-confidence required to succeed in school and in life. I make learning fun! I support, encourage, engage, and cultivate creative minds. As an educator I offer experiences working with students, and adults. I strive to support all learners, and their diverse academic development and needs.

After practicing law for 19 years, I left the legal field to spend more time with my daughter and to write. I love helping students learn and have a knack for breaking complex ideas into easy-to-understand concepts. As one of my business mentors, Marie Forleo, says "Everything is figureoutable!"

...half of the school year and absolutely fell in love! Not only could the school see the difference in the students, but the students made a huge difference in me. I have become a behavior therapist and tutor while in the process of switching my master's from a healthcare degree to early education degree in order to become a licensed teacher. I aim to make an impact on my students as much as they have...

My mission is to enrich the learning experience, making it fun, concise, and stress-free. Everyone has different desires and needs when it comes to academics and that is what makes this field extremely special. I believe that we are better learners when we can apply concepts to our daily lives and when we can find joy in learning.

...K20 college-bound program, presenting Brain Awareness exhibits as a member of the Society for Neuroscience, and assistant coaching a high school Mock Trial team. Tutoring goes best when the student is motivated, and I have two main approaches to motivating my students. First, context- a topic isn't interesting or important 'just because', we have to discover how it's related to our whole world and especially to things the student already knows they care about. Second,...

...teacher. I have worked in the Public Education system for 20 years. I love teaching math to my students and helping them to enjoy a subject that most students don't like. I hope that if I get the opportunity to work with you that I can help change your mindset about Math. I hope to if not instill a love for Math but take away the self-doubt and fear of the subject. I hope to...

...entitled to the best education possible, but also that education is not one-size-fits-all. I therefore employ a 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...

I'm looking forward to helping you out anyway I can; I'm here for you!

I enjoy spending time with my husband and three kids as well as reading, writing,...

...locations such as the eastern provinces of Canada, Hawaii and San Diego, CA, to participate in research as a volunteer. I even volunteered while a graduate student on a 2-week long research cruise that explored a unique ocean-bottom habitat off the coast of northern California.
