Award-Winning SSAT Tutors in Virginia Beach, VA

...a fourth grade classroom as a long term substitute while the teachers were on maternity leave. I believe in active, engaging learning where content is presented to show students how it applies to their lives. For example, working with decimals isn't another thing to do in math; you have to know how to work with decimals so that you can work with money. Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, cooking/baking and am working towards a...

...the best qualities of a tutor because I am an expert in the curricula I've been teaching, I have experience differentiating my lessons and explanations for students of all achievement levels, and I have the patience required to try, try again when I give an explanation or lesson and a student still does not understand. My hobbies include reading (mostly fiction) for pleasure, running (to train for Half Marathon races), and traveling.

...my tireless patience. I'm never judgmental when students struggle with even the most basic math problems. I encourage them to ask questions until they fully understand the material. I do not view tutoring as a job. It is my passion and my opportunity to give back to others. The biggest reward for me is seeing a student reach that "a-ha" moment. I would consider it a privilege to help you achieve similar results. If you...

...Nuclear Engineering double major, and have always loved to teach and help others to enjoy learning math and science. I've spent time helping students ranging from 6th grade to seniors in college. I immensely enjoy what I do, and that passion is what fuels my tutoring style.

The most important step...

...graduated with a Bachelor's degree from Virginia Commonwealth University and a Master's degree from the University of Richmond in Richmond, Virginia. I have 5 years of teaching experience (in 2nd, 4th, and 6th grade) and look forward to many more years to come. I will commit to making sure every student gets the tools and instruction that he/she may need to be successful academically. As I say in my classroom, if you can put your...

I am a recent graduate of Radford University. I majored in Interdisciplinary Studies with a license to teach Pre-K to 6th grade. I have experience tutoring and teaching many different ages. I concentrated in math and Spanish during my time at Radford. I love to work with all ages and help those that need help learning a concept or many.

...critical to developing trust, which allows for learning from all involved in the relationship. I truly believe reading is the key to communication, education and transformation for humans at all ages and learning levels. I enjoy getting to know scholars and believe in data and practice that yields results scholars can be proud of. I work to develop strong ELA skills through teaching strategies, developing personalized learning and encouraging scholars to be willing to explore...

...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 my family and friends.

I will make it the ultimate goal of every student I tutor to understand absolutely everything that they have trouble with. I aim to help with critical thinking and inquiry so that the student not only solves the problem, but understands the concepts and where they need to be used.

...positive impact into the lives of our young learners. Today's young males, specifically, lack positive role models that speak and demonstrate how a man conducts himself in a vibrant and moral society. Lately, passion and urgency are driving my commitment to become a teacher. I believe God has placed a level of patience and grace within me, that others have affirmed, which can assist me by instilling what our youth need in today's learning environment.

...I love nature and I love teaching biology, which is why I also work as a zoo educator. I am comfortable teaching other natural sciences as well as reading, writing and basic math. I speak both English and German (my native language) fluently and would be excited to help you practice your German! I can also teach English as a second language. I am very patient, kind, and enjoy helping people of all ages improve.

I believe that that success of future adults begins with our children now. Children all have preferred learning methods and it is important to keep in mind the cognitive levels of various students. I have been working with children for over 5 years now. I have 2 children of my own, ages 10 years and 1 year, and I also teach 3rd grade at a public school in Virginia.

I love Physics, Math and Chemistry, the latter is a true interdisciplinary Science. Without Math and Physics you can't really understand Chemistry. That is why I enjoy and am confident in tutoring all three subjects.

...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 learner...

I heard someone say that everyone starts out liking math. But they meet that one math teacher or class or even a problem that intimidates them, possibly embarrasses them. And they build a wall and find it hard to continue liking math. I want to show them an easier way to understand the concepts; I want people to like math.

...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 have a passion and great desire to work with children and to help...

...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, getting to know the student- everyone has unique talents, tendencies, and...

Hello! I am currently a 4th grade teacher, specializing in Reading and Writing. I have also taught 2nd and 3rd grade in all content areas.
