Mary W. - Hermitage, TN 37076 (1 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I have tutored several students in the math section of the PSAT. I have been teaching math since 8/2000. I first began teaching in a large urban district and then switched to teaching in a private school. I have taught math at both the high school and middle school levels. The subjects I have taught include algebra I and II, geometry, AP Calculus AB,and middle school math. I have tutored math every year that I taught, and also tutored GED math for 1 year. I think that I am very clear and concise in my explanations of concepts. I am also very good at explaining concepts in multiple ways. So if a student doesn't get how to do a problem using one method, I can go over another approach. I'm a good listener.

Frederick A - Antioch, TN 37013 (5.1 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $36.00/hr.
Not only do I love teaching children mathematics, I am very passionate about it because without a good grasp on the subject their hold on other subjects will be shaky. Because I aim for my student to have a good foundation and be able to build on that, I have a style of using what is around the student to drive home a point. Not only do I know the philosophy of the subject matter, but I also know the psychology of it and consider it as crucial teaching it to my students. I have six years of teaching experience. Two years of which was before I went to the university to pursue a BEd degree in mathematics. Having been trained to teach mathematics, I got myself engaged in doing that the other four years equipping my students with the knowledge of this utilitarian subject. I have good enough control on grammatical skills. I have also two years experience in tutoring. Presently, I still do hom

Drury P - Nashville, TN 37206 (6.8 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $36.50/hr.
Family & friends have expressed to me that my open-mindedness & clever & creative nature allow me to have an almost sixth sense-like intuition. Through the NCLB program, I put this theory to the test, & to be perfectly honest, I feel as if I lived up to this supposed “inherent capacity” to touch & better the lives of underprivileged, neglected, inner-city youth. As an educational activist, I REALLY, REALLY try to get & know each child on an individual basis. I want the child to become comfortable with me in their immediate environment: if a child cannot trust, respect, & admire his or her educator as a mentor, how can we truly expect the child to take his or her education seriously? Can we expect a progressive future if our children’s latent potential is never tapped into, & only remains dormant? I’m here to make that possibility less likely. From an early age, growing up in a loving

Peserai C - Antioch, TN 37013 (7 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I have had experience as a teacher for 2 years. My employer was Metro Nashville public school and they certified me to teach mathematics to grades 9th through 12th. As a teacher I taught geometry at Mcgavock Comprehensive High School and algebra and geometry at Whitescreek High School. I enjoy finding out a student’s area of difficulty and address it directly. Students have different learning styles, it easy for me teach in a variety of styles so that to make sure my students understands. I do also apply almost everything I teach to real world situations, for example most young students may think that learning about triangles will not benefit his/her career in business. As his/her teacher I will show the student how one can use triangles to determine where to built a manufacturing company equidistant (meaning the distant between each raw material supply place to the manufacturing place i

Jessica C - Nashville, TN 37206 (7 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I have considerable experience in teaching reading and writing skills. Through my studies in undergraduate and graduate programs, I have gained a firm grasp of the knowledge and skills necessary to teach English. Also, during my graduate studies I took a course on best teaching practices in a classroom setting. Further, I have two years of teaching experience at the college level and have worked as a tutor at the elementary and middle school level in the past. These experiences have fully equipped me to be a tutor for Advanced Learners. Thank you for your time and consideration. In the classroom, I believe the collaborative approach is the best method for teaching. For impactful learning to occur, students must be directly and actively involved in their learning. This can be done through group work, group activities, and class discussion. This approach is also best for tutoring.

Barbara G - Mount Juliet, TN 37122 (7.7 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $35.50/hr.
Teaching is not something I had initially aspired to but found I am a teacher and motivator by nature. I love the challenge of figuring what pieces, educational, each student is missing and helping them fill the their gaps to reach the next level and have things come together for them. I am very patient and try to make each session fun and interesting. My students and work associates have always enjoyed working with me and I like feeling/knowing that we all came away with something we didn't start with. I have loved education and the process of learning since I was a child. Due to family issues, I dropped out at in the 9th grade but due to extensive reading most of my life on many subjects, and being gifted intellectually, thank God, I was enrolled in college at the age of 16. Due to my age, I lacked the discipline needed to succeed then so joined the Army at 18 and finished first in

Jonathon A - Nashville, TN 37206 (7.7 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I believe that the most important characteristic that a teacher must have is consistency. The teacher must develop a system of rigorous work with ample support. I believe that it is imperative to possess an in-depth knowledge of the subject which one teaches, not just be a few pages ahead in the book. In order to achieve this high level, I prepare meticulously for each session, reach the student on his or her level and help guide them to where he or she needs to be. I have had the opportunity to work and help develop young minds for a few years. After college, I tutored full time at a high performing urban charter school where I worked on basic remedial skills with students. I have continued to work with young people to build confidence in their skills and improve their performance in school and on tests. I have tutored students from 5th grade through 12th grade, focusing mostly on math

Carey M - Hendersonville, TN 37075 (8.1 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I have 7 years of teaching experience in the public school system. While certified in Tennessee and Florida in the areas of the social sciences (History and Government; Grades 7-12), I have also coordinated the AVID program and taught the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) elective class which gave me the opportunity to tutor students in all academic subject areas including math, social studies, language arts, and science in grades 6 through 8.
I have a BA in psychology, and MA in teaching social science education, and am currently finishing up my Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction in Secondary Education. Teaching should be an engaging process between both the teacher and student. When students are not only able to comprehend concepts, but to fully explain the concepts to others, true learning has occurred. My goal is to strive for true understanding and to ignite a pas

Kelly C - Nashville, TN 37204 (9.4 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $34.00/hr.
As an English major at the University of Florida, I found a love for language learning and language acquisition; as a result, I declared Linguistics and TESL as additional majors. In these majors, I became quit ept at understanding grammatical principles and language learning theory. I began volunteering my knowledge to foreign language learners and found that I loved helping others learn. After receiving my BA, I began teaching writing and reading to native and non-native speakers at Santa Fe Community College in Gainesville, FL. As an English teacher, I also found other job opportunities at labs on campus and with private tutoring companies. One of the labs I worked in, the CLAST lab, also tutored math: college algebra, statistics, geometry, and logic. In this lab, I learned how to effectively teach math as well. In addition, I began teaching speed reading with a private seminar gr

Deborah W - Nashville, TN 37212 (10.2 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I love to teach, and I have taught many subjects. I have worked with students in art, french, English, and art history. Each subject and each student requires a different approach, and I enjoy rising to this challenge. I enjoy witnessing my students' success. In college, I specifically tutored student athletes who were in danger of losing their scholarships because of grades. All of my students maintained their GPA's and did not lose funding. I like to see this kind of success for others through my work. I find the needs and learning style of each student and work with them so that they learn the best and learn the most. I have tutored for over ten years. I began this work in my undergraduate years at Mercer University where I was employed as a writing/grammer/ESL tutor through the university learning center. I also worked as a tutor through Mercer with the NCAA CHAMPS program for st
