SAT - Verbal Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Burgin, KY

My teaching style varies for each student, I try to tailor the work to how the student learns. I have been tutoring students of all ages since I was in high school. I began by tutoring my own peers in math and social studies. I would also tutor children from 1st grade on up in all subjects. Once in college, I tutored college students and younger in many fields, primarily mathematics courses. My specialty quickly became preparation for standardized tests as well as calculus because I have a unique ability to discover how each student learns and tailor the lessons to their needs. I can quickly find where the knowledge gaps exist for each student and fill in those gaps, in order to create a complete understanding of the topic, not just get them to memorize answers.

I have over 18 years experience as a teacher and a tutor, working with ages 5 through adult, both in the U.S. and in Central America. My areas of expertise are Spanish and reading, especially remedial reading.

My experience in tutoring has shown me that everyone learns differently. Some students benefit from closely studying the textbook in a course, whereas others became easily overwhelmed reading large amounts of text and instead required a more interactive learning atmosphere based on discourse. I learned to identify a student's learning style and adapt my strategies to match that style. In general, I realized it was important to emphasize the main ideas of course material. A common struggle for many students is extracting central principles amidst several fine details. Teaching students strategies for identifying main points was a frequent goal of my tutoring sessions with students. I attained two Bachelor of Arts degrees, one in Psychology and the other in Linguistics. Due to my education in the social sciences I have developed a vast knowledge of the mechanics of writing, which is partic

I try as hard as possible to interest and engage the student in science by finding good learning opportunities in the lab, in the field and in the daily news. I am convinced that the natural world is a wonderful place that should be interesting to anyone. Once the student can find something of interest out there,we can use that as an entrance to other aspects of the science. As a student at MIT I earned my BS and MS degrees simultaneously in a five-year period. I worked primarily in the oil industry with major geological responsibilities on the Alaska North Slope and the North Sea. I have published over 50 technical articles and papers in my field. After my oil industry work I taught high school physical science in Kentucky for 10 years, including earth and space science, physics, and chemistry. I founded and coached the Berea Community High School Academic Team, to district and reg

I have over 25 years experience in education and have taught middle school through college mathematics. I enjoy helping students learn mathematics as well as other subjects. In math I prefer to assist with basic math through pre-calculus. I also enjoy history and economics and assisting with those subjects as well. I have worked with special needs students as well as students of diversity. My philosophy of teaching has evolved from many years of teaching and administrative experience. As I reflect on my beliefs regarding teaching and learning, I find that my mission as an educator is threefold: • to promote positive learning; • to spark learner enthusiasm for learning; • and to provide a strong foundation for lifelong learning. To accomplish this, I enjoy applying a wide variety of strategies based on essential educational principles encompassing a variety of learning styles, learn

I work best with individuals who are self-motivated and determined to succeed. I am the kind of teacher who responds to questions with questions. I understand that a lot of students are just looking for a sufficient answer, but this will not help them understand the material when they are required to take an exam. I am a firm believer in teaching through example as it is the most efficient way to learn the mathematical sciences. Those professors who had the most profound impact on my academic career were always willing to show me various strategies to arrive at the same answer. Therefore, I strive to teach the methods of problem solving as they have widespread application in all of science. As a former academic scholarship student at Western Kentucky University, I have a keen understanding of what it takes to succeed at the highest level even under immense stress.

I have a masters degree in psychology, specializing in child development. During my undergraduate studies, I minored in music and English. In recent years, I have taught music and English to both children and adults. I also have a great deal in knowledge in other subject areas, like history, religion, and even a little Spanish. Very simply, I believe that an instructor should be a facilitator of the learning process, not a dictator. The best learning is that which is done by the student him/herself through experiencing and seeing things firsthand. I strive to get to know my students and make my tutoring sessions unique and tailored to fit each individual student's needs.

I believe in developing a holistic attitude towards each child and catering an individualized program based on their unique needs. Some children may truly only need help grasping a certain concept, but another may need help with homework, test anxiety or poor study habits. I have developed a variety of ways to help any child recognize their potential through a combination of strengthening their academic abilities while simultaneously improving their habits and attitude toward school work. I am also a strong believer in learning through a combination of interaction and traditional resource methods. I have work with children in a non-profit/education/recreation capacity for nearly 10 years. Most recently I acted as an education director for a franchise tutoring company and spent a portion of everyday working directly with the students and meeting with parents to discuss their progress.
