We always administer a mock PSAT to determine where you are and then we teach critical reading skills; math problem-solving skills; writing skills and retest at intervals depending on the students individualized tutoring plan. This is the test to take if your child is going to college. It helps them prepare for the SAT in particular, but is also a helpful tool for doing well on the ACT. It also allows students to enter the competition for scholarships from NMSC (grade 11). I have a B.A. in Speech and Communications and a Masters Degree in Speech and Language.

I love working with children. I love seeing their eyes glow up when they finally understand something or learn something that was completely foreign to them before. I'm currently an undergraduate student at the University of South Florida obtaining a degree in English literature. I attended one of the nation's best high schools, according to Newsweek. I received my International Baccalaureate program certifying me to master challenging courses for greater, global knowledge. I've been a tutor at the Lake Worth Library for five years. I've helped children of all ages think critically. I have tutored students in AP English Literature and IB English Literature. I also help students achieve their writing skills by improving vocabulary. I am also available to tutor in Spanish. The goal I have for my students is to reveal to them that they are capable of obtaining the knowledge that is

My primary aim in tutoring students is to assess exactly where they are academically, including reading level and math skills. Then I teach to their exact level. I help them to set up realistic goals and strive to meet those goals. Encouraging students and helping them to see their progress is a big part of their feeling satisfied that their efforts are showing dividends. I have worked with both the extremely bright, gifted students as well as those with learning disabilities so I understand the importance of proper pacing and the use of various modalities for successfully tutoring each individual. I have always endeavored to excel academically and so sought after and received a top-level education at Duke University. Having a love of language and having a desire to be able to teach at all levels, I obtained an MA in English from the UNC-G. I have had 43 years of teaching and tutoring at

I taught high school for one year and middle school for a year and a half. I was certified to teach social studies 6-12, though I have let my certification expire. I have worked with middle school students for the past four years in an administrative and service capacity. I am an ex-Member of the Florida House of Representatives and have informally many students at the middle school level. My degree is is in Business, but my passion is social studies and reading. Teaching is enjoyable to me, but the bureaucracy of the school systems is not. I believe that there is no "one size fits all" when it comes to helping students learn. My children attended Montessori school during their elementary school years, and benefitted greatly from that method of education. They were treated as individuals and it well prepared them for the next steps in their educations. One of my children is a Jud

I believe all students can improve and achieve. I think a tutor must bring enthusiasm and skill to the table when working with students. A tutor must be encouraging and have a refined set of social skills to relate to administrators, parents, and the student. I strive to make all students wiser and more confident as they complete each tutoring session. I am a licensed and certified school psychologist in private practice. Currently, I am supervising 8 teachers for an SAT company and also teaching the Verbal component of this course.

I have work experience in teaching students with ECDD, Autism, Mental Retardation, Speech Impaired, Learning Disabilities, and other health impaired. The diversity of my academic preparation and work experience, from my internship as a teacher in a mental institution to employment as a Special Education teacher, has prepared me to be an effective educator. I am a teacher because I enjoy hard work and helping others discover success.  I want my students to experience meaningful, interesting learning that applies to their lives.  I believe this can be accomplished through the use of hands-on/minds-on activities, cooperative learning, an integrated curriculum, and, when possible, technology and the Internet. While residing in New York City I obtained a Master of Science degree in Special Education. This degree has given me additional teaching strategies which I apply within the classroo

I believe that in order to effectively reach a child, a teacher must understand children and enjoy being in their company. Throughout my years of teaching, I have found that all children are equipped to learn and succeed. Every child has a unique method of understanding information, and my job is to find what that learning style may be for each student. An effective teacher has a sense of humor, patience, and is flexible to the needs of the student. I have been working in the field of education for over 20 years. As a teacher in New York City and New Jersey, I have learned how to effectively teach children how to express themselves in writing, read for comprehension, and use critical thinking skills while attacking mathematical problems. During the last five years I have been tutoring children with special needs in basic skills and organizational areas. I have also tutored students

After college, I lived in Spain for a while where I taught Spanish children how to speak English. It was then that I realized that I needed to be a teacher. I went to Graduate School at night and taught Spanish to grades Kindergarten through 8th. I did this for five years.

In my instructional career, I have demonstrated the ability to develop complete curricula for a variety of courses and influence student improvement through quality lectures, discussions, assignments, and assessments. I hold a strong passion for teaching and am always teaching in a very positive and enthusiastic manner.
