USC Graduate Offering SAT/ACT/College App/K-12 Tutoring

I really pride myself in personalizing my tutoring. I try to never have more than 6-7 students at a time so that I can provide the best possible personalization of teaching to each student. Additionally, being at a similar age to many of my students helps me relate to them a lot better than some older tutors may be able to; I have more recent experience with taking the same courses/tests as them or applying to colleges like them, and this helps a lot in my tutoring personalization. In terms of my teaching style, I love being able to connect with students beyond the structured environment of most classrooms and tutoring/prep academies. I try to provide my students with just enough structure so that they know how to study, how to test, etc., but enough autonomy so that they can learn how to succeed on their own. Helping students navigate this fine line is really meaningful, as many ... read more

My comments on tutoring Entrance Exams : In particular the ISEE exam.

I am a seasoned literary specialist, I GET TANGIBLE RESULTS. I have been the Executive Director of a literary organization for over 20 years, and I have taught all ages of students in elementary, high school and colleges, as well as adults out of college. I have been actively tutoring private students for three years. I absolutely love working with young (and young at heart) people.

I am also able to explain an idea in many different ways. Many students tell me that I can explain concepts better than their teachers.

I approach instruction from the view that “teach[ing] a man to fish, will feed him for a lifetime”. I am committed to building on what my students bring with them, using this as a fulcrum on which to hinge their learning. This approach succeeds in helping students understand that they are capable of and even responsible for teaching themselves?–?a skill I see as a necessity in life, especially once a student can no longer expect formal instruction. In addition to my own experiences with learning several languages, I have benefited from coursework in Behavioral Psychology, which has taught me to create positive classroom atmosphere. My students note my enthusiasm for language and express appreciation for my linguistic explanations.
I have spent 6 years teaching university-level German language courses and reading comprehension & writing courses. Before this, I spent 2 years as a vol ... read more

I am working toward teaching at the university level and have, of course in the process, taught students at the university level in literature and Arabic. But I enjoy tutoring and teaching students at a variety of levels because the different levels require different creativity and different techniques that create an ability to think on one's toes that feeds the classroom energy and enthusiasm.
I honestly believe that creativity is the guiding means of teaching techniques, resources, and assignments. All students require different things and creativity allows for an agility and flexibility that works with different students and keeps the teaching dialogue sustainable. This creativity is of course contingent on lesson plans, subject knowledge, and an array of resources.

My teaching style varies depending on the number of students taught and the personality of the students. Also, teaching style is also influenced by the subject taught. For example, Mathematics is a subject that can very easily be taught by incorporating games which catch the attention and interest of students and at the same time impart the desired knowledge in the students without the students even realizing it. When this teaching style is successfully implemented, students are not only engaged in the activity but are also actually eager to keep learning and look forward to experiencing the subject even more.
I have worked as a tutor for about 6 years and worked full time as the designated class room teacher, as a High School Math teacher for 2 years. Occasionally, I work as a substitute teacher. Over time, I have acquired a wealth of teaching experience. The areas I have taug ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I left the business world in 1999 to make good on my goal of completing my degree and teaching. I wanted the strongest foundation possible, so I chose General Studies, sometimes known as "Humanities." Since getting my first credential in 2002, I have taught in a wide variety of classroom settings, including having my own classroom for both Elementary and Middle School. I have taught as a substitute and permanent teacher in Special Education classrooms. I have taught Math, Science and Language Arts.
I like teaching. I like teaching individuals. I enjoy the challenge of adapting my style and my information to the unique set of skills and experiences that each individual brings along with them. No two people are alike. So I try not to teach each student as if she is just like the last guy. What is called the "Affective Filter" is what I deal with most: that is the part of each student ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I take a look at what the existing instruction materials are attempting to convey and I add to that or expound on that. I use Google extensively to look for similar examples to the problems the student might be having. I believe that it is best to solve any given problem in at least two different ways if you really want to get some insight. It also helps in either verifying your answer or checking if you are in the ballpark.
I have an undergraduate degree in Aerospace Engineering. I have a Masters in Systems Engineering. I have tutored one person in statistics, algebra, analytical geometry and elementary functions for one year. She has maintained an “A” average during that time.

I have enjoyed teaching and tutoring a wide range of students in a vast array of different settings. Most recently, I have tutored reading to 4th graders at an elementary school, taught ESL and GED subjects to adults through an adult education center, and taught creative writing to 5th-8th graders at a summer camp. I have also tutored Japanese-speaking businessmen in English as well as American culture, and tutored a family from Hong-Kong in English communication, writing, and college preparation. I am also a former professional clown and have over 13 years experience working closely with children. Indeed, I also have my own thriving 9 and 12 year old children who lovingly call me "English Teacher" when they want help with their Language Arts and Social Studies homework.

It is my goal to provide support for all students striving to learn the academic, social, and emotional skills needed to become lifelong learners.

The one thing I love about tutoring is helping someone, who is struggling, succeed. I've worked with students from diverse backgrounds ranging from middle school students, college athletes and graduate students. I'm am patient and considerate. As far as my tutoring style, I like to guided my students and teach through experience. For example, having the student work through problems step by step make sure they know how to solve problems and also understand the overall concepts. In addition, I promote good study habits and show students how to prepare for exams within a particular subject. I'm very good at simplifying complex concepts.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a high school teacher for 13 years, I have had a profound impact on the academic and personal success of a great majority of my students. I have won many "inspirational teacher awards" and have been identified by many of my students as the teacher most responsible for their success. They have said that I have made learning interesting, fun, and rewarding for them because I have a unique way of helping students make meaningful connections between academics and their lives. I have taught world history, U.S. history, geography, psychology, study skills, health and core English. I have traveled to 53 countries, been a professional singer, a collegiate national champion in crew, and a triathelete. I have taken a one year leave of absence from my high school and moved to Lighthouse point in order to write a book. I look forward to helping inspire students to achieve great things.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that every student has a unique learning style and that it is my job as a teacher or tutor to discover which instructional methods work best for each particular student. I have a naturally patient and supportive demeanor and work hard to build rapport with students so that they will feel comfortable engaging in the risk-taking that is necessary for learning to take place. I emphasize the teaching of reading and writing strategies that students can take with them and use in future assignments, which helps to increase students' feelings of confidence as readers and writers.
After graduating cum laude from the University of Oregon with a B.A. in English, I earned an M.A. in the Teaching of English from Stanford University along with a Single Subject Credential in English/Language Arts.
