SAT - Verbal Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Las Vegas, NV

More than anything else teaching is something that I did as a hobby and a challenge. Having been a tutor since my undergrad days, I am of the belief that teaching is as much about communication as content. Each student has a unique way of learning, and I aim to communicate at his/her wavelength, this is why I utitlize many methods to illustrate the same concepts, until the student is able to grasp them fully. I excel at teaching students of varying abilities. My feeling is that any student can be made to appreciate a subject and it is only then that learning becomes an enjoyable experience for the teacher as well as the student. I have a bachelor's degree in physics, chemistry, and mathematics, and a master's degree in physics from the topmost research institution of my country. I also have five years of research experience post-MS. This has given me a deep understanding of not onl

I come from a family of seven children, four of them younger than me, and three of them adopted from the Philippines. Growing up in this setting has allowed me to become patient, tolerant, understanding, and loving. I believe that each child is different and capable of great things if acknowledged in an enthusiastic and attentive manner. I believe in asking children guiding questions to lead them through difficult material without directly presenting an answer or lecturing. I believe in using my own creativity to come up with new methods of learning so that children respond to subjects they may not otherwise enjoy. I plan on making a career out of teaching as it is my passion and I yearn to make a difference in the learning experiences of young children. I recently graduated from the University of Colorado with a bachelor's degree in architecture which allowed me to be very understa

I am a hands on teacher/tutor. I believe in active learning and student participation. I believe all children can learn, and that we all have different learning styles. I enjoy tapping into a specific child's learning style, and teaching him/her strategies to support that learning style. I am flexible and patient, and my years of experience give me the ability to understand each individual student's needs, and align my tutoring to accommodate those needs. I have been a teacher or tutor for over fifteen years. I have taught all grades, K - 12, as well as adults.

I love helping students to become confident and successful in school. I believe that students must play an active role in their own education and it is my job to foster this through creating meaningful lessons to fit each student's life. My patient and enthusiastic nature helps students to feel comfortable in my presence. When a student realizes that he or she is capable of learning in a one-on-one setting, they become successful in the classroom as well. I graduated with a BS in Elementary and Kindergarten Education. While attending college, I gained experience as a mentor and a teacher. I have worked with different age groups in a variety of settings. I volunteered for Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America and for the PA Literacy Corps tutoring ESL adult learners. I refined my English grammar through writing essays and research papers. I have a concrete understanding of how students lear

In my tutoring experience, I have worked with a wide variety of students at different learning levels. The teaching style I employ is tailored to the needs of each individual student. With mathematics, I emphasize an understanding of the key concepts underlying individual problems. I have also found that positive reinforcement is an effective tool for helping students who may be struggling with the material. I have an extensive background in Mathematics. I earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maryland College Park. I have experience tutoring in advanced Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, and SAT preparation.

I have an ability to communicate the complex theories in everyday language that makes me a very effective tutor. It is great when someone starts to understand the theory of their subject and then continue to more complicated things. The key to tutoring is to understand the frustration and embarrassment someone feels when they do not understand something and overcome this with a friendly, straight-forward approach. I started tutoring thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and statics in college. My BS in mechanical engineering has required me to get a firm understanding of calculus and physics - two traditionally very difficult subjects.

Every child is different, and as a tutor, you have to be able to adapt using positive reinforcement, patience, and lots of concentration. At the same time, developing and understanding a relationship filled with common sense and a kind warming environment that makes our students comfortable with learning something that they may be having complications. You become more of a role model and not just a tutor. If a kid listens, learns, respects and wants to be around you then you know you have done a very good job. Since 1998, I've been volunteering and working with kids of all ages as well as physical/mental complications. I've taught and tutored in many areas that include Spanish, English, math, science, and sports. I love working with people of all ages especially with children. I have great references and lots of experience. I'm young, enthusiastic, organized, and patient. .

I attended very rigorous academic institutions for both high school and college that demanded that their students achieve a well rounded education. As a result, I possess a vast amount of knowledge in a wide array of subjects. I am a very proficient writer and have also passed college level calculus and statistics. I have tutored students in all 5 basic subjects as well as Spanish, which I can speak, read, and write. I have always enjoyed teaching and helping people learn. I discovered that I had a knack for it when I participated in a program tutoring fellow students while I was in high school. I have found that the most effective way to tutor children is to get them excited about learning as well as to make sure that they believe in themselves. I have seen that all children can learn if they have the desire, the motivation, and the proper guidance.

I have tutored consistently from Janaury 2001 through the school year ending in June 2006. I began tutoring on a volunteer basis in as a Literacy Trainer for reading-challenged adults. Thereafter, I tutored high school students preparing to take the SAT, grammar school students struggling with math and reading and most recently as part of the "No Child Left Behind Act." My strength is math, however I have boosted my grammar skills to align with the the needs of my students. There is nothing quite like the feeling of observing a breakthrough on the part of a young person as they overcome obstacles to learning. My style is gentle and always positive. I keep to a quick pace, never lingering too long in one area. I am well organized and take notes during each session. I do a lot of follow-up and review during each session to reinforce prior study.

It is my philosophy that an effective tutor not only tutors but also inspires. I am patient and very intuitive. If I sense that a student is trying to mask a weakness in a particular area, I will make every effort to reinforce the concept or idea. I make it a point to identify and strengthen weak areas. I will make every effort to ensure that the student meets his or her goal. The only requirement of the student is a willingess to succeed. I graduated from The Honors College at the University of South Florida with a Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering (BSChE). The rigor of the engineering curriculum coupled with strong liberal arts and research experiences of The Honors College has provided me with both the technical skills and knowledge to effectively tutor, engage and inspire students.

My teaching style is unique. I make sure that students learn by doing, not by watching me do problems. As a student i always found that the most effective teachers used a style that allowed the student to do problems and ask questions. Today i put these practices to use in my tutoring. I believe that no child is a lost cause and that any child can learn given the right circumstances. I have been a tutor throughout my undergraduate career. I have been employed by a tutoring service as well as independently. I have tutored all levels of high school Mathematics as well as most undergraduate level mathematics courses. I have 3 years experience in these various fields.

Although each child has his or her own style of learning, I believe in bringing out their highest potential by feeding them with the kind of construcive criticism and positive reinforcement that motivates every young mind. I am patient, respectful and warm. My hope as a tutor is to help students learn more easily by providing them with essential tools they will be able to use for the rest of their lives. In my 20 + years as a student, I have become convinced that a great teacher is essential to bolstering confidence, passion and motivation to learn. I intend to inspire all three. Only four years after immigrating from Belgium to the US, self motivated success and ambition allowed me to graduate Valedictorian of my high school class.
