SAT - Verbal Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Hiddenite, NC

I am patient, but have high expectations. I think most people don't really know what they are capable of achieving. After graduating from an Ivy League college, I obtained my Master's Degree in Computer Science while working as a professional software developer. I also taught AP Computer Science for 2 years at an elite private school. I am an excellent standardized test taker (SAT, ACT, Praxis) and can share many test taking tips and strategies that have helped students improve their scores. I managed software development activities and projects at various software companies. I an excellent at explaining difficult concepts and helping people make sense of things.

I graduated from Ronald Reagan High School with a 4.6 GPA in the second graduating class ('08), then went on the NC State University to study Engineering, where I jumped in between various Engineering programs for three years before simply deciding to take a break and truly figure out what I want to study. While this may deter several people from choosing me, I know that if you met me and/or any of my teachers from any grade level, they/I could certainly set the record straight, as I am quite a smart person, I have simply struggled with getting my life into an appropriate schedule. This is because between high school, my extra curriculars (captain of the drumline for three years and a captain of the lacrosse team for three years), and my parents, my life was completely structured for me, so what little free time I had was easy to budget, this is not the case in high school.

I can help students prepare for the SAT verbal test. I take a holistic approach and match students' needs with my teaching methods. I begin with a free assessment during which we determine together how often and what kind if tutoring is needed. We also decide where and when tutoring will take place based on your needs and budget. I ask that parents or clients bring any previous testing information or IEP if one is in place. If needed or possible, I consult with current teachers or other educators about the student's needs and begin to develop a customized learning plan. During the second session, I bring ideas about a learning plan and we collaborate on the learning plan that will meet your or the student's needs. Sessions involve active learning and customized to fit each student's interests, experiences, activity level, abilities, and needs. Data is taken frequently to monitor pr

My educational background includes a bachelor's and master's degree in linguistics. I have over one year of experience as an ESL and writing tutor, substantial experience in linguistic research analysis and a knowledge of a number of foreign languages including Japanese, Spanish and Bahasa Indonesia. I have tutored a variety of students from middle school to the university level. Currently, I am a writing expert. My responsibilities include proof reading research papers, checking grammar, and providing advice on essay composition. I love working with all different types of students from a variety of backgrounds. Through teaching and tutoring English, I often learn about my students' language and culture as well. Not only does this build a great rapport between us, but I believe that learning more about the learner's linguistic and cultural background can help me convey linguistic concep

Sensitive to individual needs and learning styles, my educational approach involves an extensive selection of teaching modalities as well as organizational tools to enhance student success. My teaching style focuses on kinesthetic, inquiry-based activities which promote an active-learner environment. I believe that everyone can learn; by connecting new knowledge with previous knowledge and illustrating concepts with hands-on projects. While my student-based curriculum ensures that subject matter is presented correctly and completely, I also work with the student to create an individual framework of understanding of how each individual student learns. Empowering the student to organize, filter, and construct their own learning experience is a skill that can be applied to any course of study. I love to learn and I enjoy helping students find their own path to life long learning

I recently relocated to the Huntersville area. I recently graduated from UNCW with a degreee in Psychology with a focus on children. Since middle school, working with children has been my passion. I realized my dream after some of my cousins came over to America from the war torn country of Liberia and were having a very hard time adjusting. I was accepted to UNC Chapel Hill's Master's Program for Rehabilitation but declined after fearing it would take me down the path of working with the elderly instead of working with children. I have very extensive experience working with children at camps, researching at UNCW, tutoring foster children, and special needs with Lindley Habilitation services in Wilmington (mainly working with a client having Hunter's syndrome who was learning sign language, etc). I am both CPR and first aid certified. I have used all my knowledge of math (especially st

I have also delivered several Adult Lectures and credited Teacher In-Services. I have professionally instructed Palm Beach County Middle and High School teachers in both Paleontology and Archaeology. I have informally tutored college students in basic Spanish as well as in writing research papers. I would be very comfortable tutoring all ages in science, reading, writing, social studies, introdu

I recently graduated from Wake Forest University with a BA in Philosophy, and a minor in Psychology. Because my major concentration is broad, I have a strong background in various fields--math from years of logic, grammar from years of writing, and critical thinking. For the last 4 years, I have been working with children with autism in both the home and school settings. In this field, I have focused on increasing these children's expressive language and socialization skills. I also have tutored privately in home in the fields of biology, social studies, and mathematics. I am an advocate of early intervention. Especially in the special education field, it is imperative to begin a child's learning at the earliest available time. I do not have a strict teaching style, but, instead, am flexible according to your child's passions and strengths. I believe it is best to transfer knowledg

As seen from above, I have valid tutoring experience in both middle grades and HS. I was in the student teaching program at Wake Forest and upon graduation, I was a substitute teacher in the Winston-Salem, Forsyth County School system. I also participated in the Junior Achievement program in the Piedmont NC region for over 5 years. I am currently a tutor with the "No Child Left Behind Program." I am a disciplinarian. I have an excellent ability to gain a students attention, keep it and the results of my students have been well above average. I have a knack to bring into the classroom, outside events (latest ball games, Olympics, etc.) to establish a 'bond' between myself and the student. This allows me to gain their confidence as well as not create a bored atmosphere. I find this very important, especially with the more difficult students.

Since my student teaching in college, I have been eager to help students not only improve their skills in reading and writing, but to recognize the joy of literature and power of the written word. I have taught grades 6, 8, and 9-12; courses including the IB program for high level students and Read 180 for low level students in the middle school; and, prepared students for End-of-Grade tests, End-of-Course tests, the writing test, and for SAT testing. I have also edited and proofed academic and professional essays and writings for colleagues. With my varied experience of levels and ages, I have gained the ability to break skills down to their basics and build upon them for greater success. I am of the strong opinion that everyone can learn to read well and can write skillfully. I am patient, fair, and honest. I am willing to focus on one skill at a time or combine and challenge, whicheve

As a UCF graduate and even prior to that I have always helped in the area of homework and study. I have earned a bachelor degree in Psychology and I have started a second bachelor's degree in Forensics. I have obtained many tutoring skills in my various areas of study including math, English, psychology, and science. I have worked with children since I was 13. I have worked in settings where I was a daycare worker, a nanny, and a substitute teacher. I believe that every child has thier own unique way of learning even though there may be a mainstream way of teaching. I like to see where a child is and then go from there to see what would be the best way to help them learn new things.
