SAT - Verbal Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Higley, AZ

My approach is a little different using humor to destress students. I believe in each student understanding the underlying concepts via instruction, physical materials and hands-on activities. I have a lot of patience. I love working with different and even difficult and shy students. I am a seasoned veteran tutor, and I enjoy, no love, mentoring, teaching, volunteering, training, or instructing almost as a hobby! I am especially passionate about career education and counseling as well as psychology and mathematics. Oooh and English too! I enjoy playing guitar and writing, also playing and instructing playing soccer.

In 1999-2000, I provided highly individualized, one-on-one instruction in the client's homes while working with a local tutoring company.

I am actively tutoring students in Pre-Algebra on a weekly basis. Although instructors/tutors have a preferred teaching style, I will often mix in some elements of other styles. If I wish to take a more open approach to my teaching, I include a blend of various style

I believe that each student learns differently, and that we need to target those learning styles and use them in ways that can help one another. I have been teaching for over ten years. It is not just a job, it is my passion. I love going into my classroom everyday and learning with my students. Together, we conquer the day in our curricular subjects, but also in our social environments all with a growth mindset and determinations. Do we make mistakes along the way? Yes, of course we do, but those are celebrated as learning opportunities, things that we can grow from. Learning and growing together makes every day exciting and fun! 1

I am a strong believer in communicating with students according to their own developmental capabilities and learning style. I strive to patiently discover these unique aspects of each of my students and find creative ways of meeting their needs. My goal is that students will not only improve their understanding of a particular subject, but that they will also improve their own study skills and problem-solving abilities. I believe it is important to help students learn to manage their time and homework, which can feel overwhelming to a student, and I often help them work out a weekly schedule with manageable amounts of work. I enjoy helping students connect what they are studying to practical aspects of their own life or the world around them, as I find this helps increase their interest and enjoyment in what they are learning.

I enjoy working with young people and making an impact on their academic success. I don't know if I have a particular teaching style, but I believe that education is not a "one size fits all" proposition and good educators must adapt their style to fit the needs of their student which I strive for every time I meet a new student. Although I do not have a degree in Education, I have years of experience as a teaching assistant, teacher, tutor and curriculum designer. My experience mostly focuses on helping students improve their writing skills, but I also work with students with their reading comprehension since they go hand in hand. I have taught composition at the community college level which enables me to help students with papers at all levels from basic exposition to research methodology and citation format.

As part of my lifelong love of learning and teaching, I began tutoring when I was just fourteen years old. While in high school, I usually tutored math (mostly algebra, geometry, and trigonometry) and general science. Once I moved to college, I began to work with middle school as well as high school students again in mostly math and science. However, I have a BA in politics and history; therefore I am extremely confident in many liberal arts subjects. I have also earned an MBA which helped to hone my grammatical and communication skills. I am currently an on-call teacher for two local school districts. I teach all levels, all subjects. I love to teach. I have experience with 5-50 years old and, if pressed, could not name a favorite group. I believe that everyone can learn; some of us just process information in different ways.

In fall 1993, I began my teaching experience in the undergraduate education program at Arizona State University. Upon graduation, I sought and obtained a job as a middle-school teacher. After two years, I moved on to the high school level where I taught until January 2010. In my 13 1/2 years as an educator, I taught traditional, gifted, accelerated, Advanced Placement, and dual enrollment courses. My subject knowledge specialties are in rhetoric, composition, poetry, and American literature. Additionally, I have experience in preparing students for Advanced Placement and college entrance exams. I value personal discovery: the journey is as important as the destination. In a teaching or tutoring session, I ask as many questions as I answer. Unlike Socrates, I do not ask questions to lead students to a particular answer. Instead, I ask questions to lead my students to answers I don't alway
