Christina
Humanities Teacher: 4th Grade through Adult
My teacher handed me the Iliad when I was fourteen, and I hated it. Eight years and two full tours of the Great Books later, I had learned to like the Western Canon but not how to understand or study it. I still felt like a person at a feast with a stuffy nose. Then I got hired to write Literature class plans and suddenly there was no more "try." What happened next was stranger than fiction, but that's a story I'll save for later. For now, can you relate to my experience? Maybe they kee... Read more
Martina
Conversational Portuguese Speaker
Don't just be a spectator, participate in the conversation by learning to speak Portuguese in a formal or informal environment!!! My one-on-one teaching method is ideal for individuals that have a basic knowledge of the Portuguese language, but need practice in speaking, need to brush up on their vocabulary and conversational skills. Are you about to go into a meeting, do you need help setting up appointments, traveling abroad, or have a specific subject in which you need to expand your vo... Read more

Getting to the Heart of Math, Science and Engineering
- $60 / h
- 11 ratings
- Purcellville , Virginia ( 20132 )
- 15 miles
I am retired from a consulting practice in engineering after 55 years. I took my degrees in chemical engineering because chemical engineers do everything other engineers do plus chemistry. This enabled me to step into unfamiliar situations and succeed by applying the fundamentals of chemistry, physics and mathematics. In tutoring, I take the same approach. I look for the area or areas where the student is struggling. This may be in the fundamentals of the subject, in some particular procedur... Read more
