Sterling S. - Charlotte, NC 28270 (26.8 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $37.50/hr.
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

Jesse R. - Charlotte, NC 28226 (27.6 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $35.00/hr.
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 humor and a genuine appreciation and respect for the views of others. Focused creativity is required. 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 wor

consistent Most recently, I have been doing SAT Tutoring.

shonda a - kershaw, SC 29067 (14.9 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I worked at Elohim Center tutoring the kids at an after school homework center in Hartsville, SC. I also worked at Hartsville School of Performing Arts for a short time period. However I provided assistance to the teachers and mentored the children that had potential, but didn't have the extra push in life to motivate them to be more. I worked at Billie Hardee Home for Boys in Darlington, SC as a volunteer I provided teen age boys the assistance in tutoring them with math, reading, and science. I have earned a BA in Criminology and an Associates in Sociology. As a soldier helping people is not a job or a career, it's my choice in life to give and be rewarded through the final product of a completed task. I love teaching and working with children of all ages. I believe and know that children can learn, but they have their own ways of learning. I am available not only to help your child

Cheyenne S - Waxhaw, NC 28173 (17.6 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $37.50/hr.
As the youngest of three children, I always wanted a younger sibling and became the busiest baby-sitter in my town throughout middle and high school. I truly enjoy working with children and young adults and have exceptional patience and empathy for young people. I am very free spirited and enjoy having fun while showing students the amazing world of learning. Each child is different and I believe you must first build trust with the student and establish a relationship while studying their working habits and learning style. Although new to tutoring, I have worked with children extensively and participated in peer tutoring throughout middle school and high school. I have an excellent rapport with children and young adults and my knowledge is not limited to the area of foods and nutrition. I have excellent creative writing skills as well as a very strong knowledge of language, arts and

John C - Waxhaw, NC 28173 (18.2 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $42.50/hr.
My experiences as an educator encompass a fairly wide circle. I have a good amount of knowledge and experience in both athletics and academics. I have coached, taught and tutored students for nearly seventeen years. As an English teacher I have the ability to teach and tutor all aspects of reading and writing skills. I also have worked with students on test taking (primarily the SAT's), study skills, organization, and various other pertinent skills. I believe that it is my responsibility to cater and adjust my style to that which works best for the student with whom I am working. In a classroom setting this can be especially difficult, but with tutoring it is much more do-able. I have a lot of training as a Results Coach, which stresses working with the strenghths your client provides you. The exact same process applies towards my students.

Melissa A - Monroe, NC 28110 (19.8 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I have been working with students of varying socioeconomic backgrounds as a teacher. I have not only earned my Bachelor's Degree in English, I also have a Master's in Education. I love helping students succeed! I have taught students in all elementary subjects. I am a calm teacher who believes all students can become successful if given the individual time and attention that is needed. My goal is to help the student by modeling and then using encouragement and self-esteem building so that the student will become more confident. All children can learn and be successful when given instructional guidance that is geared toward the individual and encouragement to try their best. I strive to reach each and every child to help them be successful and achieve their potential.

Leslie P - Weddington, NC 28173 (23 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $40.50/hr.
My teaching style is founded on being patient and intentional towards every learning student. I am very intentional about making sure that students feel comfortable expressing how they do not understand material so that I can provide resources and assistance to their specific needs. I also strive to find a healthy balance between tutor aid and student discovery. I believe that with the right guidance and instruction, students can discover a skill and apply it to many academic challenges. Specifically, I love helping students take their thoughts and create meaningful, clear and strong prose in order to convey their understanding of a text. As a graduate from UNC with a degree in English, I have gained an in-depth understanding of the English language. Through this rigorous program, I was consistently expected to provide strongly written and grammatically accurate essays that proved I had

James A - Charlotte, NC 28270 (24.8 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $39.00/hr.
For 34 years I have taught almost every science, but my focus for the last 28 years has been chemistry - both high school and college courses. Since 1993 I have served as an AP Reader and a College Board Consultant, grading the AP Chemistry Exams and teaching teachers how to establish their AP program. Over 94% of my AP students have earned a "3" or better, with over 50% scoring a "5". By teaching teachers, I have a better understanding of what goes wrong in some classrooms, so I am able to help students bypass those barriers. While my focus in my classroom is the "lab experience", I make certain that students are competent problem-solvers. I have been tutoring extensively so I believe that I can get the maximum performance from my "tutorees". I bring my passion for teaching to both my classroom and to my tutoring sessions. Different students come with different needs, so I listen first

Andrey C - Matthews, NC 28105 (28.2 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $39.50/hr.
About my role as a teacher, I think that the main principle should be “teaching for understanding”. A teacher creates learning opportunities that engage students in thinking about important mathematical concepts. Facts and skills support such learning but are not the ultimate goal. A teacher not only draws on past knowledge of mathematics but continuously builds on and refines that knowledge during meaningful interactions with students and colleagues. Thus, her or his practice as a teacher is constantly evolving PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Darren B - Charlotte, NC 28270 (28.4 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $31.50/hr.
Society continues to foster the traditional belief that success in math and science is inherent, only to be grasped by those born with a particular talent level. Educational research by scholars such as Howard Gardner has shown this idea to be false and detrimental to student achievement. As research suggests, I have found through my own teaching that any student can reach a reasonable level of success in math and science with proper guidance, patience and encouragement. I combine belief in a student with the latest constructivist teaching theory and methods I learned in my education master's classes. This skill set allows me to experience what I most enjoy about teaching. I love to see the expression of satisfaction on a student's face when they realize they have firmly grasped a concept that they previously considered too difficult. I have earned a PhD in Chemical Engineering and

Joseph M - Rock Hill, SC 29730-8975 (28.7 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I have earned a PhD in philosophy from the University of Virginia, and taught at the university level at Virginia Tech, UVA, Hampden-Sydney College, West Point, and the University of North Carolina at Pembroke for ten years. During that time, I have taught philosophy, logic (including test prep for the GRE and LSAT), and composition. A chemistry minor in college, I am also proficient in basic science and mathematics. I have tutored in composition, algebra, logic, chemistry, and philosophy. My job is not to give students answers, but to push them to articulate better and give better answers. I teach not by lecturing but by discussion; together we work through problems and questions. By showing students (gently) where their thinking could be improved without giving them the actual answers, I push students to solve problems on their own.
