Entrance Exams Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Harpers Ferry, WV

I have tutored algebra 1 and 2, college algebra, intermediate algebra, pre-calculus, and geometry. My best subject is mathematics. On the SAT math section, I scored a 700 with the highest score being 800. When I was a freshman high school, I tutored students older than myself in subjects such as Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry. While still in high school, I took College Algebra at Broward College. I got the highest grade in that class -- an A. My tutoring style is explaining the concept in the simplest possible terms and then practicing a few problems with the student. Then when I see the client has grasped the concept, I move on. I do not believe in rushing the student because I know how frustrating it is when one does not understand something.

Compass tests, entrance exams I usually start with a diagnostic test to concentrate on weaker areas then come up with a weekly plan focusing on those areas. After a lesson, I usually give worksheets and sometimes online exercises, depending on the subject, and use videos and games if applicable. I have tutored and mentored students for more than five years in Algebra I & II, Trigonometry, Physics, Chemistry, English and ESL. I have a degree in Psychology and a certificate in TEFL. I believe tutoring is a really helpful and useful addition to class and studying by oneself because it is reviewing class material once again and it is a way for students to be accountable to yet another person who knows the answers to their questions and can help them work to that answer as well.

I enjoy working with younger generations. I believe stimulating intelligence and creativity in younger people sometimes requires thinking outside the box. Following instructions and completing homework certainly is a priority, as that prepares for adulthood. Going beyond that creates a desire for knowledge, and instigates entrepreneurship at a younger stage by developing desire for leadership and hunger for success. I often tutor my granddaughter and together after completing her school assignment we explore ways to learn more then required. I am a 60 year old Financial Manager, Creative Writer, Sales Executive with many years of Professional experience in several careers.

I love working with kids and it's my inner passion to teach. I have developed patience’s working with children and I like to teach as a mentor/friend.

I would love to be the reason a child wants to learn and gain their knowledge. I am a hard-working and ambitious person with a desire to contribute to society. I believe educators, teachers, counselors, principals are the providers, directors, and managers of complex systems of care. In other words, they are the backbone of the educational industry.

Although some students are naturally gifted in reading and writing, I believe every student can learn strategies to strengthen their language ability. Good writing begins with good reading, and many students need training about how to focus their minds during the reading process. Effective writing is also a result of effective thinking. Students often struggle with writing because they have not spent enough time on the mental planning and pre-writing stage of the composition process. I can help students work on a specific writing project or work on their own grammar and editing skills. I can also offer general approaches for helping students read more effectively, study more efficiently, write more clearly, and think more critically. After evaluating over 7,200 college English papers, I know the language skills that students need to develop in high school. I have taught college com

I find teaching languages an incredibly enriching experience for both my students and myself. Inside and outside the classroom I strive to be a role model, an ambassador from my country and the company I work for. One of my primary goals is to make the classroom a safe haven for students; a place where they can feel comfortable to be themselves, make mistakes, help each other improve, build self-esteem, create inside jokes among ourselves, laugh often and a lot and make new friends. With this philosophy I have achieved great things! My students usually have the highest self-confidence and thus the highest fluency, grades and overall performance levels at any university or institute where I have taught. They feel as though being a member of my class is like having a membership in a private club. I began teaching EFL in my 20s while living in the Dominican Republic and fell in love with

Throughout many years of tutoring my peers and underclassmen, I have obtained several techniques to help students study effectively. Depend on each individual student and their study habit; I can adjust a specific agenda and curriculum to help strengthen their weakness and excel their strength. I am very patient and fun to be around. For me learning is a combination of fun and hard work. I tend to make the material easier to understand and to captivate their interest in the subject. I’ve graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2009. My Biology coursework has centered on theory, problem solving and critical thinking. I have taken multiple Biology, Chemistry, Physic, Math and Psychology classes which have enabled me to improve my knowledge and understanding of the subject.

As an online graduate at Kaplan University, I quickly became aware of my priorities. Students seeking help often emailed other classmates for assistance. I was often told there were very few students who responded to their emails; however, I was one of them. I earned my Associate degree through Allegany College of Maryland. I enjoyed this area of study so much that I decided to transfer to Kaplan University Online and continue my study in Business Administration with concentration in Accounting. I attended graduation in Chicago, IL, where I learned no matter what obstacles in life you face you can continue your education if your mind is set to do it. My overall GPA at Allegany College of Maryland was 3.6 and 3.5 at Kaplan University Online. I love to help people understand what they are learning. My goal is to see the "lightbulb" flash on in their mind. I am always available to help your

My preferred or favorite teaching technique is the student-focused teaching. Such method of teaching helps students meet their full potential one at the time. It considers each student level of learning and understanding by creating teacher-student friendly environment. This method also consists of an interactive learning which gives students opportunity to express and react to their understanding and concerns about what they are being taught. In brief this technique is more like one-on-one coaching. And when it comes to tutoring, I know from experience that this is the number one and very successful technique. With such technique, I believe I will make a difference in many students learning life. Currently, I have my BS in Microbiology from University of MD college Park and Two Associate Degree (General Education and Pre-Med) from Prince Georges community College Where I was an Honor s

I am a demonstrative teacher and leader. I believe in the theory of "model, action, and talk" style of presentation of concepts.
