About Debbie


Bio

I have 15 years of experience in tutoring and teaching math. Whenever possible I use hands-on manipulatives to make learning fun. I provide homework help, but I can also create customized plans to improve your child's mathematic abilities. I believe parents are partners in the learning process and I provide you with ways that you can help your child. I take pride in building relationships with my students to build their confidence as well as their academic prowess.

I have 15 years of experience in tutoring and teaching math. Whenever possible I use hands-on manipulatives to make learning fun. I provide homework help, but I can also create customized plans to improve your child's mathematic abilities. I believe parents are partners in the learning process and I provide you with ways that you can help your child. I take pride in building relationships with my students to build their confidence as well as their academic prowess.

I have an undergraduate degree in Education from the University of Kentucky specializing in math and science. I received my teaching certification in Kentucky, but then I moved to Oklahoma as a military wife. In Oklahoma I worked at Sylvan Learning Center while starting my Masters at the University of Oklahoma. I completed my Masters while overseas and also did some "maths" tutoring in Australia. (Not a misspelling - they call it "maths" over there.)

In Virginia I worked as a Algebra Readiness Program Instructor in Dinwiddie County Schools. Also I taught job readiness classes to junior high school students in Hopewell and Prince George. I have also taught a basic STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math)class at the elementary level that introduces students to the scientific and engineering method, as well as provides hands-on activities to learn complex scientific ideas. Currently I am coaching a Junior First LEGO League in Prince George County.

I have tutored several subjects: Math, Algebra, Algebra II, Geometry, Advanced Geometry, Spanish, ESOL and Reading to students ranging from elementary to high school. I am a mother of four kids. Three of our children are currently in Prince George County schools and I am blessed to be able to stay at home with our youngest. I have several friends who home school and I admire the commitment and effort home school parents give to their children.

Very Creative!!

I really like Mrs. Debbie R. because she's very creative with what she does. She uses different styles of learning instead of the standard way they do at school. And she makes learning fun and easier to understand and she's very patient. I would recommend her to anyone who needs that extra helping hand working with your children on their education.

Great tutor!

Debbie has been an amazing tutor, going the extra mile to help my daughter grasp the material. I am incredibly grateful for her dedication and support.

Knowledgeable math tutor

Debbie helped me pass a very important placement test. She was able to explain math concepts clearly. I will be seeing her regularly for my college level algebra classes.

Camille, 2 lessons with Debbie

Debbie is a wonderful and friendly person.

One of the many things I've learned from Debbie, so far is that there's more than one way to solve a problem and practice makes perfect. She is very good with figuring out peoples learning style. And she also allows the student to "think" instead of giving the answers.

Awesome!

Debbie is an exceptional tutor for our Niece. She is very patient and giving for our learning needs. She connects the right tools to assist and make the lessons easy to grasp. She would be a great fit for anyone who is looking for an exceptional tutor/teacher. Thank you for being you!
