SAT - Verbal Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Mount Ulla, NC

I help guide the student along, having them discover much of the information in a trial and error fashion. I tend to use the questions they are struggling with the most, making similar examples, then walking them through these problems and breaking down the problems until the student understands the how the process works. I have been tutoring for over seven years, starting with my peers in tenth grade. I have tutored a wide range of subjects, from Geometry through Calculus III, from general computer knowledge through utilizing the advanced functions of Microsoft Access. I have tutored people ranging from my peers to people three times my age, to as young as third graders. My motto has evolved into "Helping those who feel they can not be helped"

I generally teach through visual aids and through very thorough explanations. If the student doesn't understand the first time I explain something, I will explain it in a different way and will keep explaining it in different ways until he/she fully understands what's being taught. I try my hardest to teach by explaining concepts logically and showing WHY and HOW, rather than simply saying something is what it is "just because." I have always been an honors student and am currently taking the highest levels of math (AP Calculus) and spanish (Spanish 5) at my high school. I am involved in Peer Mentors at my school and have tutored multiple students in a variety of subjects. I have also tutored students outside of school, mostly in math. I love teaching others and helping them to understand concepts that they previously were struggling with. I am very patient and will work my hardest to ma

I graduated from Ronald Reagan High School with a 4.6 GPA in the second graduating class ('08), then went on the NC State University to study Engineering, where I jumped in between various Engineering programs for three years before simply deciding to take a break and truly figure out what I want to study. While this may deter several people from choosing me, I know that if you met me and/or any of my teachers from any grade level, they/I could certainly set the record straight, as I am quite a smart person, I have simply struggled with getting my life into an appropriate schedule. This is because between high school, my extra curriculars (captain of the drumline for three years and a captain of the lacrosse team for three years), and my parents, my life was completely structured for me, so what little free time I had was easy to budget, this is not the case in high school.

I am a career educator who has taught English and other Humanities based courses extensively since 1988. My primary experience is on the college and university level but I also have a high school and middle school background. The educational and pedagogical philosophy I hold is this: The ability to communicate effectively remains the most vital of skills and is crucial to academic and career advancement. It is with a sense of privilege and honor I teach and with a sense of urgency as communication skills continue to evolve in a quickly changing world. Technology is not a substitute for literacy. It is there as a vital augmentation of learning. Critical thinking is nourished so well-considered and studied opinions are more than welcome; they are essential. Students have conveyed to me that my style is one of "relaxed intensity" with a flair for the dramatic laced with a sense of hum

I have 12 years experience in the healthcare/mental health field and a lot of that experience has been working with children and teens. I work well one on one with children and feel individualized attention provides the structure and support that many kids need. I am available to come to your home as this would minimize distractions too. That depends on the student. Styles can be adapted to meet the needs of the student

My style of teaching depends on the student. We all learn in different manners; therefore my instruction will be tailored to techniques that maximize the students' specific learning preferences.

I can help students prepare for the SAT verbal test. I take a holistic approach and match students' needs with my teaching methods. I begin with a free assessment during which we determine together how often and what kind if tutoring is needed. We also decide where and when tutoring will take place based on your needs and budget. I ask that parents or clients bring any previous testing information or IEP if one is in place. If needed or possible, I consult with current teachers or other educators about the student's needs and begin to develop a customized learning plan. During the second session, I bring ideas about a learning plan and we collaborate on the learning plan that will meet your or the student's needs. Sessions involve active learning and customized to fit each student's interests, experiences, activity level, abilities, and needs. Data is taken frequently to monitor pr

The first thing that I try to do is get to know my client, mainly focusing on what they both like and dislike about school. Then we narrow it down even further to the subject that they are having problems in. I ask them what they think the problem is, find out what the school/teacher thinks the problem is (through review of their coursework including past homework and tests) and come up with a solution that will benefit the student, teacher, and parent to improve and fix the situation. I recently relocated to the Huntersville area. I recently graduated from UNCW with a degreee in Psychology with a focus on children. Since middle school, working with children has been my passion. I realized my dream after some of my cousins came over to America from the war torn country of Liberia and were having a very hard time adjusting.

I am of the strong opinion that everyone can learn to read well and can write skillfully. I am patient, fair, and honest. I am willing to focus on one skill at a time or combine and challenge, whichever the student needs at the time to best reach his or her goals. I take pride in the ability to help a student understand concepts that before may have eluded him or her for whatever reason in their general education. I am eager to help students reach their ultimate potential and gain the confidence to continue doing so throughout their lives. Since my student teaching in college, I have been eager to help students not only improve their skills in reading and writing, but to recognize the joy of literature and power of the written word. I have taught grades 6, 8, and 9-12; courses including the IB program for high level students and Read 180 for low level students in the middle school; and,

When working with a student I am always prepared. I do whatever research is necessary in order to help the student succeed. I am very patient and I recognize that students learn in different ways. I am always willing to try a new approach. I developed a strong interst in becoming an educator when I was in college. I have a master of education degree and a teaching credential. I worked as a teacher in Charlotte, Boston, San Francisco and Tchibanga (in Gabon, Africa). Later I worked at UC Berkeley as the coordinator of an educational program. I really enjoy seeing students achieve their goals.

During my formal college education I acquired a very broad knowledge base in the sciences and social sciences. I have 7 years experience as a professional Museum Science Educator, and several years of informal tutoring experience. As Senior Science Educator at the South Florida Science Museum, I regularly developed new programs and curriculum in a variety of sciences, and taught thousands of students of all ages and backgrounds in hundreds of schools and classrooms throughout South Florida. I have also delivered several Adult Lectures and credited Teacher In-Services. I have professionally instructed Palm Beach County Middle and High School teachers in both Paleontology and Archaeology. I have informally tutored college students in basic Spanish as well as in writing research papers. I would be very comfortable tutoring all ages in science, reading, writing, social studies, introdu

With a BS in Physics and a Masters in Business I greatly enjoy the challenge of academics. I have been a classroom teacher for over 6 years and have tutored students from Pre-K through college age in areas of English and math. I enjoy seeing my students excel. I greatly enjoy teaching and developing children of all ages. As a teacher I am constantly challenged to understand each student’s individual needs and to present the material in a way that produces the most joy and therefore increases material retention. I have high expectations for all of my students and make sure they know I believe in them. Filled with confidence and introduced to the right learning experiences, all students have the ability to succeed.

I have always had a good ability in math and sciences. I obtained a BA in Psychology from the University of Rochester, with a minor in Brain and Cognitive Sciences. I tutored college students in Psychology and Chemistry during my time there. I have also worked with all ages of children while working as a ski-instructor. My teaching style ultimately depends of the student. I work much better with an individual or small group than with a class because I can find the angle that works best for each student. For younger children, I like to make learning into different games to keep their attention. For older students, I think it is important to establish some level of confidence early on within a subject so that they do not get too discouraged while new material is presented.

As a successful college graduate in the rigorous discipline of philosophy, enhanced logical analysis, critical thinking, and compelling communication are skills that I have worked for years to cultivate, and which I have demonstrated to an above satisfactory degree, earning the distinction of magna cum laude from my alma mater, UNC Charlotte. I have tutored students in the areas of English, psychology, philosophy, statistics, algebra, and sociology for years, beginning as part of the Gaston College faculty and progressing to independent work students from all areas of Charlotte, NC. My developed strengths lend themselves to any area of service which requires acute reasoning, skilled planning, and clear communication, and I have found tutoring to fit perfectly with my abilities. I am a strong believer that a tutor is a friend first, and an instructor second. Many times I have found tha
