PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Ponte Vedra, FL

My lessons can range from private lessons to group lessons of no more than five at one time. I prefer to be very involved in my students' progress, and will readily explain any questions that they do not understand. My main strategy is basically to lay out the concepts that will be covered that day, go over several practice problems, and give three or four practice problems for the students to work on independently. For art students, I will demonstrate with explanation the concept that we will be covering in that lesson (be it portraiture basics or still life basics), draw diagrams with the steps clearly labeled, and have the student independently work on a similar piece which applies the same concepts. I will supervise the student's progress and correct any lasting errors, but I prefer to have the students produce an almost entirely independently produced piece each session. I have work

Mastering the PSAT is critical in preparing for the SAT. Knowing the skills and strategies is what I will teach you, and coach you to improve all aspects of your verbal skills. Having been tutor at Huntington Learning centers and a private tutor, I excel at one on one tutoring relationships. It is essential to understand the level of competence of the student and moving from that to gradual improvement of skills. Each student is an individual, with unique views and talents; therefore, each expresses their views in unique ways. It is my job to nurture these views to their ultimate expression. Starting as an English major, and working as a tutor for Huntington Learning Centers, I have always loved working with students of all levels in the English language - in all its facets: from grammar to style. At a time when proper use of the language is increasingly rare (but required to master

I enjoy teaching and working with children. While I believe that all children can learn, they do so in their own ways and at their own pace. It is the tutor’s responsibility to ensure that the student(s) understand the material. It is important to show students how one idea builds on the last. I will help your child learn the material in his/her own way. I consider myself to be patient, non-judgmental, and knowledgeable of the subject matter. I truly believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. I am very proud of the kind letters of thanks that I have received from parents of some of my students this year. As an engineer and I have taught planners and engineers how to use software to do calculations. I have taught GRE preparation for Kaplan (analytical and verbal reasoning) both to small classes of 3 to 7 studen

I have taught grades k through 12 and beyond in the areas of general elementary ed, reading, writing, advanced composition and literature, grammar and study skills. I have most recently tutored students at a local prep school in Advanced English. I have also had the joy of tutoring kindergardeners and first graders in basic reading skills. Specifically, for extended periods, I have taught in the classroom, grades 3,5,(everything);6,7, 9 and 10 (Reading, Writing, English).I love and enjoy seeing students learn and watch the light go on when they pick up a concept or understand a piece of literature. Teaching is part of whom I am. There is no greater feeling of accomplishment when I have helped a child or teen progress and feel good about learning. I am patient and strive to know the student and their unique needs. I tailor my approach according to each student's learning style and ac

I believe the key to teaching is communication. Building a connection between myself and the student has always been a cornerstone of my pedagogical style. I believe that most students have the potential to succeed, and that my role as an instructor is to help them to teach themselves -- which is the essence of real learning. My first instructional experience was when I was 8; I taught my cousin how to read. From there, I went on to tutor as an undergrad and to teach while in graduate school. I have missed the one-on-one aspect of tutoring, and am especially able to help with English, but can work in other areas as well.

I have been teaching/tutoring since I was 15 years old. Throughout high school I taught Sunday school and tutored. For a year in college I tutored at a day care center. I also volunteered with children with the Reading Buddies and Dream Center, a center for at-risk children. I taught school in the Netherlands for three months and served a semester at Joan Walker Elementary teaching kindergarten and third grade. Currently, I am teaching a fifth grade class of 28 students, 10 of whom are SLD. I try to relate well to and form good relationships with my students. I have learned through my own experiences and through UCF, various teaching styles; however, the most important element in my style is to listen and to adjust to each child and listen to his/her needs. I want them to understand the importance of the material and why they are learning it. I use a lot of positive reinforcement.

As a previous Reading Specialist at a Title I school, I have a proven track record of achieving student success in the area of reading/literacy. As the Reading Specialist, I led the school district (school year 2007- 2008) in learning gains for the lower 25% of readers (based off of FCAT scores) and in 2009, my school was #3 in the district. I am endorsed in Reading (K-12) and am also certified in English 6-12. In addition to this, I hold a Bachelors degree in Business Administration and a Masters degree in Public Administration. During the last 5 years, I have tutored students in Reading, Language Arts and ACT/SAT college test prep. I have a strong passion for education and I possess a can do attitude when it comes to learning. I believe that ALL students can learn however many express frustration with the learning process and ultimately give up when faced with difficulty or challeng

My teaching style depends on the age group or crowd that I am teaching, but overall I am consistent, tactful, and informative. As a teacher it is my responsibility to ensure that my quality of teaching is up to par with my students abilities and that the communication levels are excellent. While an undergraduate, I obtained several teaching and tutoring skills through my intense psychological curriculum. I also have a huge science background full of accredited college courses in Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. I enjoy working with all different age groups and ethnicities. My professional experience does include professional business and sales training.

I have 15 years Wall Street finanace related experience. In 1998 I accepted a position teaching english teachers at a language institute in South Korea. The teachers became my friends and I was invited to guest teach at their respective middle schools and high schools. I loved my years living and travelling in Asia, the cultures, the institute but especially the students. Since returning from Asia I have been tutoring out of my home in Ponte Vedra Beach. My students range from middle school to graduate school. I prepare students for the PSAT, SAT, GRE, applications and admissions. I design lessons personalized for each student, bringing a wide variety of materials to the sessions. I think it is important to have fun, laugh and relax while keeping a close eye on achievement. I ask a lot of questions, appreciate feedback and generally require composition as a key compo

I have a BS in Chemical Engineering and a MS in Materials Science and Engineering, both of which focus heavily on math and physical sciences, particularly physics and chemistry. I was at the top of my class throughout middle and high school, and often volunteered to assist fellow students in areas where I was ahead of the curve. I currently voluntarily tutor my sister in algebra, and have served as a teacher's assistant in a materials science lab course and a general chemistry course while a grad student at the University of Florida. My verbal skills are considerably above average, particularly for a science student (SAT score = 710 verbal, 770 math; GRE score = 680 verbal, 800 math). Everyone’s learning style and thinking process is unique. To effectively teach is to be able to bridge your own thinking process with the student’s learning style. It is especially important to understand w

Through my professional experience in both reading and writing instruction, I have honed the skills that I believe make me an ideal tutor and teacher for primary and secondary students of any age. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in English degree from the University of North Florida, during which time I acted as a student instructor for a one-credit-hour course in writing through the UNF Honors Program. I also worked as a writing, reading, and speech tutor through the UNF Writing Program. After graduating from UNF in 2002, I worked as a professional (full-time and freelance) editor for several publications. I currently work as an editor for Nemours Children's Clinic's online Continuing Medical Education site. In between those positions, I worked as a high school teacher in ninth grade English/Language Arts. Throughout this time, I have also been employed as a part-time classroom and private
