Ferrum College - Tutors

My name is Mikaela ! I am 25 years old and in 2020, I graduated with my bachelors of science degree from Ferrum College in western Virginia. I was previously an Education major because my mother, sister, and many other family members are/ have been educators, including my great grandfather, who was Superintendent of Hampton City Schools. Ever since I started off babysitting at the age of 11 watching my niece, who is now 14, I have much experience with handling children. I have done nanny jobs where I have lived with the children, which included taking them to school, fixing meals, helping with homework, etc. I have also done part time babysitting with ages ranging from newborn-middle school. I have also been part of nanny sharing where I have nannied multiple families at once.

I have a background in social work where I worked with kids with behavioral issues. I have switched to teaching where I am now a middle school teacher and getting my teaching license while teaching.

Hello, my name is Keshia and I'm currently in graduate school for my Masters in Social Work. I have experience working with preschool students and school-aged children. I'm skilled in developing treatment plans and fostering creativity and imagination in young children.

I was recently certified through The International Multisensory Structured Language Education Council (IMSLEC) as a reading tutor. I have experience working with homeschool and public school children who struggle with learning to read. I also have had experience tutoring college level math, science, and English. I have homeschooled my own children for 14 years now, giving me experience with a variety of grade school through high school curriculums. I have a few struggling readers among my own children that I have successfully taught to read. Of my seven children, my eldest has since graduated high school at home and gone on to college with great success. I am a 4-H leader, so I am used to instructing a large group of children. I have had a background check done though 4-H in order to be a leader, through the state police in order to volunteer at the public schools, and through care. com. I have worked at a preschool and have designed and run church programs for children.

I am seeking part-time educational or companion employment, willing to go to your house, have up to 4 students, and teach several areas K-12. I am also willing to do companion or pet therapy for both young and elderly. Master's Degree, Certified In Biology, I have stayed home since having children and tutor on nights and weekends for past few years. Now that my youngest is in pre-K, 9:00-3:30, I can have sessions during the day as well. My Master's Thesis was "Teaching Students Through Multiple Learning Strategies based on Individual's Learning Style." I believe meeting each child where he or she is not just academically but socially as well. I have tutored elementary students, middle school, and high school (including AP courses). The range has been below level to significantly above grade level. I am a coach joining with the parent or any other academic partner to encourage the child to succeed. I meet each challenge with hard work and research so that I can offer my best to each child. I have tutored CRCT Prep, SAT Prep Reading, Math K-8, Literature, AP Literature, AP Art History, and History/Social Studies and several sciences. I am currently tutoring AP Government, AP Literature and Environmental Science, as well as organization skills. In the public school system, I taught K-12, Ecology, Environmental Science, Biology, Earth Science and Life Science. I am familiar with many learning styles and learning differences or disabilities. I am a Christian and my own family will always be my priority, however, I have a big heart and I am extremely loyal to my students. As far as P.E. goes, I'm an active person who enjoys playing Physical Education as well. My mom is a professional artist and retired K-12 art teacher, so I have inherited some skill and acquired knowledge in several media. What I don't know, I seek to learn, and what I learn, I long to teach. I'm looking for part-time employment. Locations will be a consideration, so I can be home when necessary.

I have an MSc from Cornell University in Managerial Economics. I have taught and tutored in various academic subjects at the elementary, middle, high school and college level. My subjects include English, Math, Economics, Statistics, ACT and SAT prep. I have also tutored in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. I live in Charleston with my family. Previously, I worked as an Economist in Washington, DC and also in Africa. Teaching is my passion! Sometimes students do not get the one-on-one attention they need. Tutoring is a great way to prepare students for the skills they need for further education and help them excel in their life goals!

Hi There, My name is Jessica, and I am an English teacher for a K-12 school. I have over eight years of teaching experience and am currently certified for the State of Florida. I can provide tutoring for Reading comprehension, grammar, and the writing process as well as FSA/SAT Test Prep. As a parent and educator, it is important that we establish a routine for our children during this difficult time in our world. My mission is to encourage students to achieve their full academic potential with proper encouragement, mindset, and confidence. Focus on a child's well-being is as important as test scores and academics. Having a profound comprehension of the material is part of the learning process but having the ability and talent to help children learn and not just memorize, is the key to academic excellence.
