...I will obtain my PhD in that subject. My school background is rough since I was born with a hearing disability. I was not the best academically, but I was involved in soccer. This 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...

...after school. While I was tutoring in the public schools, there was a child that was in 4th grade, and he didn't know how to read. When I started out with him, he was at a Kindergarten reading level. By the time the school year was over, I had him reading at a 3rd grade reading level. He was so proud of himself. That is why I love to tutor. I love to see the...

...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 to...

Private Tutoring Near You
Receive personally tailored Summer lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with the best tutor for your particular needs while offering flexible scheduling to fit your busy life.Summer is an exciting time for children who look forward to a break from school and learning. While it's great to allow your child to enjoy his or her summer time, it's also important to consider the dangers of a stagnant summer that doesn't include studying or learning. A summer that only includes recreational activities and doesn't stimulate a child's learning abilities can make it much harder for them to comprehend new lessons when it's time to go back to school.
A summer without educational stimulation can also let a child lose their previous knowledge from school, causing them to need to re-learn subjects from earlier classes. A few hours a week with a tutor during these summer months can do wonders for keeping your child's brain active, knowledgeable, and primed to learn. Students seeking summer tutoring in Portsmouth, VA, can get assistance in locating an independent tutor from Varsity Tutors.
