Harvard student tutoring in SAT, math, and college apps

I am a recent high school graduate attending Harvard College in the fall looking to spread my passion for learning and discovery to others. I can tutor in all high school math topics except for statistics. I can also boost SAT math scores and SAT subject test scores. I scored 5s on both AP Calculus AB and BC exams and completed Linear Algebra and Multivariable Calculus through Georgia Tech.

I've taught as an Adjust Professor for both Georgia College and State University and for Macon College. During a 29 year career in manufacturing, I performed a myriad of training classes and programs for companies like YKK, Georgia-Pacific, the Trane Company, and more. I'm completed multiple college level English classes, Statistics and Accounting classes, History and have taught classes in Marketing, Organizational Development, and have worked with more employees than I can count re basic mathematical skills, reading comprehension, and more. I've authored three published books of southern humor and have written scores of published columns/articles.
I love working with people and helping them. I believe in constructive discussion, using aids of whatever sort to help make points, and to pick up on a person's true learning style. Some learn from reading, some from doing, some ... read more

I try to incorporate a variety of instructional methods, materials, and evaluations in my teaching style since no two students learn exactly the same way. Over my 35 years of classroom instruction, I have developed a number of techniques that are successful. I enjoy new technology, and I try to stay up to date on new software and delivery systems that will enhance the learning experience for students.
My teaching experience in English spans 35 years. I recently retired from Macon State College and will continue to do part-time teaching at that institution. I enjoy all aspects of the profession and have a proven record of success as documented in my faculty portfolio. My experience includes essay writing, critical reading skills, grammar skills, and vocabulary enrichment. I look forward to continuing my passion for teaching through tutoring and mentoring students in the area.

I am an Assistant Professor of English at Macon State College. I've been teaching composition and English literature for the past twelve years at universities in California and the Boston area. I have extensive experience with one-on-one tutoring, both live and online, to high school students, ESL, undergraduate and graduate students. I enjoy watching the visible improvement that takes place in an individualized learning environment. I've tutored students in all levels of writing and in history and hope to help students of all ages improve their writing skills. In addition, I incorporate individual tutoring into my composition and literature classes.
I've learned a great deal of patience over the years and have been told by my students that I explain things clearly and calmly. They've also mentioned in evaluations that I'm compassionate to student needs and generous with prac ... read more

More About This Tutor...

It is a joy to be able to work with children. I understand that we all learn in different ways and I like working with students to help them find which way is best for them. I am driven, determined and goal oriented. I like to tap into a child's passion and find what they are truly passionate about. We all have hidden talents that need tapping into.
I earned my BS in Political Science and obtained a MBA in 2008. I am currently working on my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. I tutored students in an array of subjects from 1996-2000. I also tutored and mentored children at Burke Elementary School from 2005-2008. I currently serve as the Chairperson of the Youth Directors Board at my church, which I work with the youth in various areas.

A Little Bit About Me...

It is my belief that I do not truly master subjects until I can teach it to others. Thus, I view tutoring as an essential component of the learning process. With respect to my tenure as a tutor in the community of Tuskegee, Alabama and on-campus,this has certainly been the case. From helping to ease students of their confusion in the laboratory, to leading review sessions in front of spacious lecture halls, my experiences as a tutor have augmented my interpersonal as well as technical skills. The responsibilities inherent to tutoring have motivated me to enhance my knowledge, question my preconceptions, and strengthen my understanding of intergrated sciences and reading material.
Tutoring has taught me that perseverance and patience are the keys to tackling tough situations, and I try to pass that along to others. I am very versatile when it comes to teaching various age groups. I ... read more

My teaching style reflects the environment of a college classroom. Lessons are centered around unrestricted discussion of topic and formal lecturing. The most central part of my style , however, is guiding the student to realize the answer for themselves. Not only is this method more conducive to learning, it is an indispensable tool for boosting confidence.
Over the past three years, I have had the wonderful opportunity to tutor a wide variety of students on a part-time basis. I enjoy the challenge of transmitting information in a way that is both accessible and edifying. This experience, combined with a world-class education from Mercer University, enables me to engage students on a level not typically found with other tutors.

I recently completed a Youth Staff contract aboard Royal Caribbean. Along with entertainment, we promoted learning and creativity, offering educational activities through science experiments, and expression through art projects, theme nights, and parades. I've taught English classes for kids/teens in Brazil, and led equestrian programs in Greece for troubled and disabled local children. Prior to leaving the US, I filled my passion tutoring “at risk” children after school in Buffalo, and working to develop language skills through cultural activities for families in Boston. I have a special talent for literature, writing, and art, but also love math and science.
I love working with children of all ages, and like combining education with fun. I am a thoughtful, creative, and patient teacher, and like to encourage children to approach problems and questions in their own way, frequently ... read more

In addition to a Bachelor of Business Administration Degree, I possess 25 years of experience in Accounts Payable, Receivable and General Accounting. The record-keeping nature of my past experience has given me a facility for detail, patience and the ability to keep accurate records.
I am a patient teacher and have a passion for helping others to succeed at all they may attempt. I also enjoy teaching children and young adults new things and skills to aid them in the future. There is no greater reward than seeing a former student after they have become a successful adult.

A Little Bit About Me...

I was in the Teacher Apprenticeship program from 2003-2004 at my high school, where I taught and tutored two classes of 8th grade students for my mentor teacher. In college, I proofread many papers for friends and did extensive legal research and writing, which continuously improved my writing ability. I vastly enjoy writing papers and performing research for academic purposes, especially on issues relating to international political affairs.
My teaching style is hands-on. I believe that while students gain knowledge through auditory and visual methods of learning, it is vital that they are given practical tasks that put their skills to use. I love seeing kids make mistakes with their work with the realization that they can overcome them through hard work and persistence. I am enthusiastic about education and how it creates endless opportunities for people seeking to make a positiv ... read more

During the last 10 years I have worked with all levels of students, preschool through college levels. These areas include reading, math, english, psychology, science and social studies. I am a self starter and have worked with parents when I owned/operated my private daycare. I have since then worked with children in low poverty communities in Atlanta Georgia, in order to provide an alternative method to learning to ensure that children receive the appropriate level of understanding of various subjects.
What I have learned working with students is that many do not learn in the same manner. I beleive in what is called top process learning. Given the student a concept and allowing them to explore the possibilities of how one arrives at such a concept has allowed deeper critical thinking and strategic planning. However, this method is not predominately taught in Georgia education ... read more

In high school, I was the typical overachiever. I played varsity baseball, led many school organizations, and was at the top of my class. School, especially math subjects, came easy to me, but that is not the case with everyone. Therefore, I wanted to find a way to help students in these areas. During sophomore year, I was approached by high school administration to tutor students, on a one-on-one basis after school, on math subjects. It was an amazing opportunity because only four students out of the entire student body were picked for this highly-selective position. I enjoyed it so much that I continued doing so until I graduated from the high school 3 years later.
After tutoring students for a combined four years now, I have learned very quickly that each student is different. Some require more of a hands-on approach, while others work best independently. I prefer to get an unde ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I started tutoring in different after-school programs in New York City while in high school. I enjoyed it so much that even while in college, I continued tutoring and being a group counselor. I even had the opportunity to work with a one-on-one tutoring agency in which I traveled to students homes to help them privately. I have also worked as a literacy mentor for daycare children so that they would be ready for pre-school or kindergarten and not be left behind in reading skills. During these last six years, I have taught and tutored every subject up to the 7th grade level.
I have always had a passion for educating children. In the process, I have been able to observe different teachers and their methods. So I was able to form my own tutoring style and method that has worked pretty well for me and my students. I have always encouraged my students to learn by letting them have a mor ... read more

Over the past 12 years, I've earned numerous degrees and certifications, however, none of them compare with what I've learned from the students I've personally taught. Each year in the classroom has taught me that children learn and thrive on a diverse number of situations and goals. I've learned that there is no one right way for any child, and that finding the link to their understanding is essential. As an educator, I believe that additional means of differentiation and individualized learning is desperately needed.
I sincerely believe that my specific learning style is one of trust and love. I firmly believe that in order for a student to learn, they must both trust you and believe that you like or love them. Knowing this, my style of teaching is a personal one. I prefer to push my students within their comfort level. Many of my students often say "this is too hard." Whe ... read more
