...teacher in the Virginia Beach public school system. I have been teaching for 11 years, all of which have been in Virginia Beach. I have spent most of my time teaching 2nd grade, but I have also taught 4th and 5th grade. I grew up knowing I wanted to be a teacher and spent my high school and college years volunteering with different children's programs, primarily in my church. I have a passion and great...

...not meet the needs of the individual child; especially a child who is struggling. With my experience as an educator, I am greatly concerned with what motivates a child to want to learn. Rather than discourage and exasperate the learner, I believe a good teacher should encourage and motivate. If the child doesn't want to learn and is reluctant, they develop a deep rooted resentment towards school if true learning is not taking place. Constant...

...There is an area of overlap between each school subject (even standardized tests, which require critical thinking!) and a student's goals, and it's usually bigger than it first appears. A star athlete doesn't just need to pass English to graduate; she needs to be able to write a well organized and error-free letter. In time, I'd hope to become the kind of tutor a student wants to impress, and whose tips and tag lines come...

...teacher who has taught grades 6-11. I have also tutored from pre-K through adults in reading comprehension, elementary school math, writing, grammar and state test preparation. I enjoy teaching writing and helping students who are having difficulty in reading comprehension.

...serve as a football and wrestling coach at my school. I believe that all students are capable of success. I try to express my passion and skills for teaching while creating a welcoming and engaging environment.

My experience, educational background, and personality will encourage my students to incorporate class material into real world...

...and fifth grade 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...

...a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a life time. As a tutor, I see myself as a facilitator in the learning process who first provides information and then guides my students to explore where, when, and how to apply the information that is given to them. As a tutor, I challenge my students to think critically about what they have learned and to reach their own conclusions in the...

...Dominion for ecological science. I enjoy tutoring because I understand how it feels to not understand something that is complex or even things that are deemed simple. I understand that everybody is different and we all learn at different rates. I know over time, I can teach clients accordingly in a manner that suits them best. My overall goal in life is to become a professor at a university and teach students who are just...
