PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Mesa, AZ

In 1999-2000, I provided highly individualized, one-on-one instruction in the client's homes while working with a local tutoring company. I am an experienced educator and state certified instructor with impeccable credentials and a heartfelt enthusiasm for teaching. More recently, I have tutored adults participating in an Adult Literacy Program. I assisted them in their GED preparation in Math and helped them set and reach their short-term educational goals. More recently, I worked with incarcerated individuals preparing them for the GED test, improving their testing skills, and promoting a positive environment for learning. I am actively tutoring students in Pre-Algebra on a weekly basis. Although instructors/tutors have a preferred teaching style, I will often mix in some elements of other styles. If I wish to take a more open approach to my teaching, I include a blend of various style

I have been teaching for over ten years. It is not just a job, it is my passion. I love going into my classroom everyday and learning with my students. Together, we conquer the day in our curricular subjects, but also in our social environments all with a growth mindset and determinations. Do we make mistakes along the way? Yes, of course we do, but those are celebrated as learning opportunities, things that we can grow from. Learning and growing together makes every day exciting and fun! 1 I believe that each student learns differently, and that we need to target those learning styles and use them in ways that can help one another.

My core teaching ideals come from the motto, "a child needs love most when he least deserves it". In our society, too many people look for reasons to help others. For me, working with children is my duty to them. It is my duty to understand that each child is different and therefore needs differentiated instruction. As I strive to focus on positive reenforcement with my students, I give them opportunities to set goals and succeed. It is those moments of success that the student's will cling to, not the small facts that I teach that will truly make a difference in each of their lives. Since I was first a high school graduate, I have been fascinated with education and helping young people. Whether it was volunteering as a coach, working as a resident's assistant, giving tours on campus, working at summer camps, or working with students with disabilities I have supplemented my collegi

As a life long athlete, I understand the importance of a team. Parents, tutors, and children must work together to succeed. I also realize the importance of strategy; each team has a different method to achieve their goal. Be it verbal, visual, audial, physical, there are multitudes of different ways to have success inside and outside of the classroom. My personal success would be to teach the children HOW to study through tutoring, a strategy they could take with them throughout their academic and professional careers. Besides family, faith, and good health, there is nothing I value more than my education. As a graduate of the University of Notre Dame, I have earned a bachelor degree in Science-Business. This new field incorporates the work of a Biology major with the fundamental requirements of a Business major. I am now in the process of applying to dental school, thus have extensive

I enjoy tutoring because I am able to pass on the knowledge that I have learned over the years. This knowledge can help academic and self confidence problems linked the certain subjects. The key to successful tutoring is to link the "trouble course" to feelings of enjoyment. The path to linking the course depends on student personality and interests. The student will experience more motivation and interest once the subject is properly associated to enjoyment. This starts the foundation for increased learning and a way to bypass the “learning block”. Other keys involve patients and proper explanation of the subject, which are also very important. Through the process of entering and attending dental school I attained a great knowledge of the sciences and chemistry subjects. I have also learned vast organizational skills, which I would like to pass on. I have also written many research pape

I find it very rewarding to be a part of a childs education. I have an enormous amount of patience and a desire to see individuals do well and help them reach their goals and exceed their expectations. I have been working as a Substitute Teacher for the past four years and have held quite a few long term assignments at the request of several licensed educators. I am currrently working as a private tutor for two sixth graders who attend an online acedemy and are working on extra credit assignments to elevate their grades for the end of the acedemic year. I love children and enjoy seeing their faces light up when something "clicks". I believe in being both consistent and flexible because all children want to know that your are going to be there for them and no child learns the same way. I am extremely comfortable around children of all age groups and especially like teaching children wi

I am a recent graduate of Arizona State University. I plan to become a high school teacher. I have experience tutoring and mentoring high school and elementary students. I was a mentor in high school and a National Honor Society tutor for 3 years. I also tutored elementary school students for a semester (part of America Reads and Service Learning). I also worked with Head Start while in Key Club during high school. I have a quite versatile and adaptive teaching style. I try to tailor my approach to the strengths and specific needs of my students. I have taught a few different subjects including Reading, Math, Grammar and English in a variety of different grade levels.

My teaching style is highly interactive. I developed and taught an undergraduate seminar at UCLA that was based on role-playing and critical thinking of historical events through intense discussion among students. As a tutor, I ask my students a lot of questions in order to tease out their knowledge and opinion on the subject. I believe that I do not have any right answers but I do have access to resources that will enable students to find the answers that are right for them. My teaching style leads to measurable results by focusing on the process of learning. Due to my strong researching and writing skills, I was able to graduate from UCLA with a double major in three years. I have taught college-level classes at UCLA as well as tutored both high school and college students for the past 3 years in English composition and the writing process.

I love children and believe that every child can learn. In my classroom, I provided a multitude of diverse learning experiences for my students - from experimentation to cooperative learning. I support the multiple intelligences theory and always attempted to accommodate students' various learning needs. For example, when finishing a novel, students were given options for completing a book project: traditional book report, building a model of a favorite scene and presenting it to the class, creating a scrapbook for a main character and presenting it, etc. I held high standards for my students but always provided the tools for them to achieve those standards. After earning my bachelor's degree in History and Political Science, I went on to complete the teacher's certification program through the University of Phoenix. I began teaching middle school Language Arts, Reading, Writing, an

Although I do not have a degree in Education, I have years of experience as a teaching assistant, teacher, tutor and curriculum designer. My experience mostly focuses on helping students improve their writing skills, but I also work with students with their reading comprehension since they go hand in hand. I have taught composition at the community college level which enables me to help students with papers at all levels from basic exposition to research methodology and citation format. I enjoy working with young people and making an impact on their academic success. I don't know if I have a particular teaching style, but I believe that education is not a "one size fits all" proposition and good educators must adapt their style to fit the needs of their student which I strive for every time I meet a new student.

As an undergrad I attended Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois, a school well-known for its academic excellence, where I studied Christian Education under a group of highly talented professors. While this degree was not a typical teaching degree, it incorporated a significant amount of educational theory, communication skills, and developmental psychology which I have used as a mentor, Sunday school teacher, and tutor. I then attended Fuller Theological Seminary as a master’s student where I studied theology and youth ministry. This program allowed me to further study the developmental issues connected with adolescents, as well as increase my writing and critical thinking skills through the study of theology, philosophy, and history. I have worked with middle school and high school students in a church setting for 9 years. I began tutoring last year, working with elementary and Jr.

Ever since I could set up my dolls and play school with them, I have wanted to become a teacher. I graduated from Loras College, a private liberal arts school in Dubuque, Iowa, with a degree in Elementary Education. After graduating, I taught at St. Mary's in East Dubuque, Illinois for six years. My principal nominated me in 2004 for the Rotary Excellence in Teaching Award for the State of Illinois. Throughout my college experience and years at St. Mary's, I was also a lead teacher/tutor at Prodigy Child Development for their after-school and summer programs. When teaching 5th/6th grade at St. Mary's, I also taught 7th/8th grade English. For the past two years, I have been substituting full-time K-12. I am a firm believer in the power of positive thinking. At the beginning of each school year, my goals and standards are clearly set and all students know what is expected of them. Regardl

Throughout my higher educational career, I’ve been driven to learn as much as possible to help satisfy my enormous curiosity. I have earned a bachelor degree in English Literature, and am currently a MFA candidate in the creative writing program at Arizona State University. As part of my graduate funding, I work as a teaching assistant. The program requires constant training, and I enjoy taking part in understanding the way students learn. In addition to teaching at the university, I work with the Office of Youth Preparation—teaching not only the craft of poetry, but helping 4th and 5th graders develop language skills necessary to do well in school. Although I primarily work with the study of English, I study Spanish and have become proficient with the use of the language. I believe that the possibilities of learning are incredible, especially with understanding the tools of both teach
