In 2006, I began scoring constructed responses on the PRAXIS exam for one of the nation's leading test administrators. My specialization in scoring is for the special education test for the Education of Exceptional Students (Learning Disabilities). Having this experience in the essay components of the test (which accounts for 50% of the test score) gives me an insiders knowledge of what you can do to maximize the effectiveness of your responses. I am easygoing and friendly, and never judgemental. I will focus on what you feel is your weakest link or help you determine where your needs are. We will discuss the scoring rubric used on the constructed responses, examine examples of potential scenarios, and review responses and how they would have scored and why. I have taught Special Education in the public school system for over 13 years. This exposure to the needs of students and the strat

***I am an expert when it comes to SAT, ACT, and Praxis exams!*** My name is Aalok and I am a full time professional tutor. I can help students who are struggling, students who are looking to excel, and everyone else in between. I strive for complete satisfaction and never charge for a session unless you are completely satisfied. "I wish I had called you sooner." That's what I hear most often from clients/students/parents. I won't go so far as to say I make tutoring fun, but I make sure it's engaging and meaningful. Tutoring isn't just memorization and repetitive practice drills; that's passive and wastes time. I've even worked with other tutors and educators to hone their skills and improve their teaching styles. I have over six years of experience working as a full time professional tutor. I have taught/tutored over 1400 students. I've taught over 600 students in a classr

I love teaching and helping students to reach their fullest potential. Since each student learns differently, I believe the most successful education involves discovering each student's learning style and strengths to best enhance them as well as identifying weaknesses to develop strategies to develop them. I am patient, dedicated and considerate. I believe that each student can succeed if given the right direction and motivation and that educators can make a huge difference in their education. My goal is to see each student reach their fullest potential and to unlock their strengths more fully. As a student and teacher, I have been driven to excel personally and to help my students achieve excellence as well. I have earned a Master's Degree, two bachelor degrees and two certifications, MEd in Spanish and BA in English and Spanish as well as K-12 certification in Spanish and ESOL.

I have my BS in Psychology and BA in Art. In May 2003, I received my Masters of Education (M.Ed.) from the University of Maryland in College Park. My work towards this degree provided me with an extensive understanding of scientifically based research, lesson plan development, and teacher training skills. I have worked as an educational researcher on three large-scale government grants studying students’ language and literacy development, and reading motivation, in preschool through college. I am a determined, enthusiastic, and highly motivated teacher. I want students to grow academically, socially, and emotionally in an atmosphere that is stimulating and adaptive to their diverse needs. I have focused on instilling in my students a love of learning. I believe it takes more than a single individual to make a difference in the lives of a student. Therefore, I have learned the value of

As an educator, my understanding and approach to learning comes from placing myself in the perspective of the student. Therefore, student's opinion on coursework needs to be heard in order to create effective learning goals. I believe this will increase a student's motivation and connection to the material. Connections, which are endless and create concrete understanding for students. I am very passionate, easy going and understanding of students. Although, I set the highest expectations because I believe the student can achieve them. Each student can succeed and they will. The University of Delaware has integrated me into the education field with a variety of experiences. I will earn my degree in May of 2011, becoming certified in Elementary Teacher Education and Middle School Social Studies. Over the past few years, I have strengthened in my ability to work with students of diverse nee

My teaching style is focused on student achievement. Many parents complain that their child does poorly on tests. This is often a result of inadequate teaching practices which fail to recognize individual learning differences in students. My goal in teaching is to individualize the learning process for each student, so that the student understands and retains knowledge and is able to explain what they learned. This process increases their test scores and confidence. Students often require that educational materials be modified or accommodated to meet their particular needs. My experience in special education has shown that all students can achieve if knowledge is properly presented and goals well defined. I have over twenty years teaching in the public and private schools in New Jersey. I have taught English, Math, Social Studies, and Business. I am a NJ state certified teacher in

I believe that a solid and rounded education is the foundation for any society and that education begins with an individual. This belief drives my number objective: to teach to the student. For me, it means recognizing the unique abilities and personalities of each student to properly develop and manage a learning strategy for them in order to make measurable gains. I only compare a student against his or her own self so that they realize the only measure that matters is their personal improvement. My tutoring career began as an honors research student in college. I shared my skills and passion for French and history in plain and easy to grasp concepts that even helped "non-language" types to succeed. Furthering my foundation in teaching methods I pursued my Master's degree in teaching a second language while serving as a graduate. I accepted a fellowship to teach middle school and high

I absolutely love what I do and I know this is what I was meant to do. I have the ability to break down abstract concepts into concrete ones that adolescents can understand. My teaching style involves a lot of questioning on my part to the student so I can get a full understanding of any misconceptions they may have and if at all possible I use this technique to help them arrive and the correct answers on their own. This ensures their full understanding and retention of the material. Along with questioning I provide scaffolding to help the students reach their goals. Enduring understanding of the material is the ultimate goal with the students as the focus. After achiveing my first chemistry teaching position in Philadelphia, I was motivated to learn more and become the best educator I possibly could. Working toward my master's degree at UPENN enabled me to grow intellectually and

I enjoy sharing knowledge with others and believe that teaching is beyond memorizing facts. As an educator I attempt to teach students skills to become lifelong learners through fostering an appreciation of knowledge. My teaching style is adaptable to a particular student's needs, but often incorporates the strategy of relating content material to the individual's existing knowledge. As an informal educator I have experience utilizing hands on learning activities to engage my students. I believe these strategies are what allow individuals to actually gain knowledge. I have recently completed a Master of Arts in Teaching, where I concentrated on secondary biology. I have a Bachelor of Arts in biological anthropology with a minor in biology. My educational background enabled me to have a strong background in biology, but also in mathematics and all sciences including chemistry. I have
