Award-Winning SSAT Tutors in Virginia

...strategy. Im a great resource for college admission essays from the Common App, to long and short supplemental essays, to brag sheets and student resumes. As a Teacher and Editor, I help students to analyze content, organize their insights, and express their ideas with language that is original, personal, and correct. As a creative guide, I use humor, pop-culture references, and real-world experience to help young writers draw out their experiences and perceptions, and shape...

...stand up comedian. I tutor a wide range of subjects, but I am most passionate about reading, writing and public speaking. I believe in making learning fun, and showing students how the subject is relevant to their life in a very practical way. I'm also a big believer in self learning; whenever possible I try to guide the students to the point where they can find the answer on their own, rather than just telling...

...and experience with writing, editing, literature and grammar allow me to relate to most language arts situations, and working with 7th graders, working with alternative school students, and assisting graduate students with editing essays gives me a broad spectrum to draw from as a tutor. I believe that education is the key to individual success in life. Education brings out our strengths and weaknesses and forces us to address both. One on one educational situations...

...their traditions and experiences in France. I have a real passion for travel and exploring other cultures. Especially all their food! I love to cook and bake, and attempt to bring some of my favorite French treats into my own home. I love tutoring French because I have a passion for spreading this appreciation for other cultures. I am originally from Cleveland, Ohio where I started learning French in my elementary school class. When I'm...

...love of teaching into higher level courses. I currently tutor in the above topics, with a specific passion for Biology, Chemistry, and test preparation. As a tutor, I strive to challenge students beyond fundamentals, while focusing on and accommodating individual needs and individual learning styles. As an sewing and crafting enthusiast, I understand that with practice, tenacity, and perseverance comes success, a lesson I apply to my life and to my tutoring.... Before entering into any teaching, I believe it is important to discuss the concerns the student has toward the material as well as their prior exposure to tutoring and study aids. This approach allows me to directly address their needs and insecurities, thus quickly increasing their confidence. This confidence boost encourages the tutoring process and helps associate learning with positive emotions (something everyone needs when working through tough or confusing material).

...in December of 2014. I have been tutoring professionally for about 3 years and unprofessionally (without pay) for upwards of 6 years. I have worked with students ages 7-27 and have experience tutoring students with ADD, ADHD, and Asperger's. Primarily, I tutor in English (reading, literature, writing, etc.) and math (Algebra I and below). I have also tutored students in elementary and middle school level science, history, art, and mythology. It's hard to choose a...

...reports as we move through each section. I attended a competitive university and I know what it takes to make a student a contender at the highest level of admissions. I keep the material fresh and memorable through a variety of audiovisual approaches and real-world examples. One-on-one learning should never mean lectures, and I like to hold an ongoing conversation so students use their own learning skills in new ways to solve new kinds of...

...and love working with young people and helping them achieve their academic and test-prep goals. I have a personal, friendly teaching style and believe in creating a highly individualized tutoring plan for each student that is tailored to their specific strengths. While I love helping students understand and gain confidence in a variety of subjects, my favorites are English, writing and literature. In my spare time, I love to travel, cook, paint, hike and hang...

...me. It is for this reason that I teach others to appreciate and discover their love of learning. Leaning should be a joyful experience and not one of drudgery. Learning can build confidence in the learner to broach further information and then use it in their daily lives. This is my goal - to inspire others to take the path less traveled and continue to question what makes our world work. The student will apply...

...secondary students, I can address language arts, critical reading, and writing requirements, and support those areas with examples from the pragmatic backdrop of what language arts and writing skills are needed to succeed today in college and in business. For younger students, my approach is to integrate interesting activities with the lesson plan and to match the lesson pacing to the student's level and learning style. I believe all students can improve with the right...
