I prefer a very laid back, informal environment when I teach. I can adapt very easily, and only require that my students respect me and try their best. I can help them with the rest I have tutored over 50 children and teens, ages 3-14, in various subjects. With my youngest students, I have helped them improve their reading comprehension and ability markedly. My older students have been teens preparing for college, and as I have done extremely well on my SATs and ACT (scores can be supplied upon request), I have been able to help them improve in that field as well.

I know the structure and mechanics of the test, and can teach you how to beat the test-makers. Tutor in the Austin Area for 10 years. Vendor in 'Tutorial Services' for a State Agency for five years. Helped students from 16 to 46 get to where they need to be. Helped students to achieve their goals, and become more efficient with their time and their abilities. I have a knack of making the complicated simple. Experienced, I can easily break down subjects to their essence. Confident and charismatic, I can foster a sense of achievement and self-worth in a student who is struggling with self esteem or test anxiety issues. Familiar with subjects, I am an expert at many levels and across many disciplines. I am the total tutor, who still has much to learn himself.

I'm a PhD Candidate at Claremont Graduate University in philosophy and a professor of ethics at the University of the Incarnate Word. I was trained by and worked for an elite Test Prep company in Southern California for two years before moving back to Texas. My specialty is SAT Math, but I am fully proficient in both Reading and Writing as well.

easiest area to improve in, my specialty I have been tutoring for the ACT and SAT for three years after having scored very well on my GRE and getting trained by an elite Test Prep company in Southern California. Currently I'm a professor of theology, ethics and philosophy at Incarnate Word University in San Antonio, TX. I've continued to tutor because I find the work both meaningful and impactful. I do only what is necessary -- nothing less or more -- to help you succeed. Most students learn best by being guided rather than taught. The strategy for success on standardized tests is fairly general, but every student has particular strengths and weaknesses that must be factored into the preparation process. Hence, I take a very individually customized approach.

I like to make it fun and bring new strategies to the table! I am excellent in teaching new things with a positive motivating attitude. I am very familiar with Math, English, History, and other things. I not only try to help the individual but I would love to be a mentor with them and build a relationship to create a trustworthy, comfortable working environment!

My goal when working with students is to fully describe the steps necessary to solving various classes of problems, often in an outline form, for it is in learning these steps that a student becomes an independent learner. I like to work through as many examples as the student needs, gradually working them into the problem-solving process, until they are able to work a few completely on their own, or, in some way, demonstrate understanding of the material. Of course, this method is a little easier to employ in one on one tutoring sessions, but even with my work in the classroom, I feel student participation is crucial to the learning environment. While in college (1988-1994), I worked as a grader in the math department, with a goal of providing useful feedback to the students. I also began working as a tutor at Austin Community College (ACC) in their free learning labs at this time.

I have worked with adults. I prefer a one on one direct instruction and mentoring, keeping everything simple and fun. I am not sure how well I would be with children; I have none of my own and have not spent much time with my nephews and nieces. I have worked with a few of my friends children, helping them understand algebra, showing them how simple it really is and how it can be fun. As a engineer I have been training operators in everything form SPC to troubleshooting for 30 years. I am a volunteer tutor for Adult ESL & GED for the Literacy Council of Williamson County since June 2009.

I have a masters degree in engineering. My study in college and graduate school involved extensive Math and Physics. During my graduate school I taught programming to sophomore students. I enjoy explaining technical concepts to students. I quite like the challenge of logically explaining difficult science concepts to students. I am very patient and try calmly to find a way to convincingly explain my point. I believe the key is to listen to the student and guage how much he/she is following and build on it. The idea is to gradually make the student 'discover' it, not merely force it on him/her. During my graduate school at The University of Texas at Austin, I have worked for 3 semesters as a teaching assistant for sophomore programming class. My work involved 3 hours of teaching a week, designing lab assignments and 12 hours of office hours a week to help/tutor students with assignments.

I worked as Teaching assistant, Grader and University online teaching program website maintenance, through which teaching material/instructions were passed on to students apart from grades, homework submissions,team and individual progress monitor. Subjects which I tutored were Algebra, Calculus, Trignometry, physics, engineering mechanics, engineering math packages(like math lab, mathcad), engineering drawings(Pro/E), Autocad. My style of teaching is interactive one, where I interactive with students and try to know their way of learning, as every student has different needs, requirements, and then try to teach them according their style. I give emphasis on building basics and strengthening them in their core subjects, which will help them to excel their respective fields.

As a graduating senior in Microbiology My comprehensive coursework in the hard sciences, including Biology and Chemistry, provides me with substantial knowledge in several domains. I began my work as a college tutor in 2007 and immediately found fulfillment in helping students to meet their academic goals. By the end of my time with the tutoring center, I was designated a CRLA Level 3 certified tutor. In addition to my tutoring experience, I also worked as a student teacher, teaching math to two classes of seventh graders. I learned necessary skills in classroom management and how to create lessons that are flexible enough for students on different levels of knowledge and comprehension. I focus on showing students why a correct answer is correct and guide them with questions so that they can cultivate the correct answer on their own. I learned the importance of building rapport and tailo

Each larger question can subsequently be broken down into a set of smaller questions. These smaller questions are the building blocks of knowledge a student will acquire in classes and it is the ability to put them all together in a coherent manner that allows them to solve the problems at hand. I am a firm believer in asking leading questions of students that may not directly pertain to the question being asked on an assignment, but will get them thinking in the correct manner such that the real question will be easy. I use a lot of connection to the real world and a lot of analogy such that the students can get a handle on the subject matter and see parallels to every day life. As an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan I studied chemistry, biochemistry, and mathematics as part of a triple major. I felt my breadth of technical fields was important because it would al

As a graduate of sciences I have an in depth knowledge of the basic skills that are needed to continue a higher education. I have completed 140 hours in college that includes plenty of hours in biology, physics, math (thru calculus III) , and chemistry. I have also been tutoring freshman college students in these areas for several years. I know what it takes to learn and retain the vital information that needs to be learned before the student enters college. I am also a fluent Spanish speaker and can tutor students that are currently taking Spanish. I am able to teach these subjects to biligual students who need extra help in the science and math subjects. I approach teaching as something that takes very much patience and willingness to listen to the students problems. I believe in letting the student self discover his or her ablitiies by steering them in the right direction. I act as a
