TEAS and HESI Expert, ACT, SAT, and much more!

I am a full time Tutor with 11 years experience. I specialize in standardized exams, particularly the TEAS, HESI, ACT, SAT, and GED. I have been working with standardized secondary exams, math, and science for the last 8 years- classroom teaching, curriculum writing, and tutoring (both in person and online). I absolutely love working with this material, and helping individual students find their best strategies and achieve their goal score! I begin with standardized testing strategies. I assure my students have a solid understanding of the way their test is written, the types of questions to expect in each section, and the proper approach for each question. I then work to build my students knowledge base in the necessary skill areas. I focus on both the stronger subject areas, and the weaker. I ensure my students not only know what to expect as they progress through their test ... read more

My comments on tutoring PSAT : Tutored student,weakness in math, became National Merit Finalist.

I have a calm, amiable personality and achieve results by being enthusiastic and building up students so that they feel good about their math abilities. I like to explain math concepts via visual aids (graphs, pictures, charts, diagrams) and an extensive number of examples.
I taught advanced high school mathematics at McKinney Christian Academy for five years (2005 - 2010). This involved the following classes: AP Calculus AB, Honors PreCalculus, and Advanced Algebra II. In addition, I have tutored students for the PSAT Math, ACT Math, SAT Math, SAT-1 Math, and SAT-2 Math.

More About This Tutor...

I tutored all subjects - especially in Math all through High School. I also tutored in college. I have strong skills in Math - all levels - but I especially enjoy algebra. I have two children and I basically taught my oldest son math, since he was a different kind of learner than the way they teach at school. He is a very kinesthetic type learner and needs to see, feel and touch to understand the concepts - so I used a lot of tools to help him. I can tutor math and science exceptionally well and other subjects for the younger levels.
I enjoy teaching when there is a bit of a challenge getting the student to understand the concept. As I have mentioned, I can use different styles to help the student get the concept. I have a great deal of patience and believe that everyone can learn. I enjoy the way someone looks after they have understood and mastered an idea.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a few years experience teaching in the Air Force. I also have an extensive background in engineering, statistics and math in general. While in the Air Force I was an instructor for the Space Operations School in Colorado Springs. This gave me the opportunity to go through many classes on how to instruct various types of students. Even though I taught adults, I am also very comfortable teaching children. I also have been an engineer most of my career so I have experience with real world math problems. I have never tutored as a job but did take and pass all the testing required to become a high school and middle school math teacher in Texas (TExES).
I have five children of my own and spend many hours helping them with school work. I have found that patience and repetition in many cases are very good paths to success. I do not believe in becoming frustrated with childre ... read more

I am a caring teacher who is encouraging and helpful. I try to explain the material in a way so that students understand and keep trying different methods in order to determine how students learn best. Although I am very serious about helping students learn, I often use a lighthearted approach to help students loosen up and enjoy the learning process.
I am a certified teacher in English and Math with 5 years of experience teaching in both public and private schools. In addition, I have been tutoring for more than 15 years and teaching summer camps for young people for 10 years. I am an expert in helping students prepare for such tests as the TAKS, GED, ACT, and SAT.

More About This Tutor...

I believe education begins in each individual's experience of life and, as such, I whole-heartedly endorse an approach that reflects and considers the individual student and his/her life. Additionally, I believe literature can and does relate to our everyday existence, teaching us about ourselves and our world. This is why I love literature and why I love teaching literature.
As a scholar who has studied both in the United States and abroad, I have a broad range of experiences that enable me to approach teaching with an unique outlook. The excellence of my education of course under-girds my ability to tutor and to teach; this education is grounded in both a Liberal Arts knowledge of Western literature and a graduate level focus on Irish literature. At Creighton and at Queen's, I wrote several in depth research papers that required research, literary analysis, organization, and ... read more
