ACT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Round Rock, TX

I took the exam twice in high school and got a 25 on both occasions. I always liked playing up my quirky personality. My favorite teachers and professors were the goofy ones, the ones who can relate to the students' fun side. These teachers also challenged me the most, and I ended up getting so much more out of the course. I figure that, if a student likes the teacher, he or she will pay more attention and have a deeper respect for the teacher. The teacher then can use this trust to push the student a little more, intellectually. I find that is what works best for me. I don't any paid, professional tutoring experience. However, I have volunteered my services to family members and friends. During my sophomore year, I took Organic Chemistry and excelled. However, my friends were struggling. They hated me a bit for how easy it came to me. I decided to tutor them and help them with homework

I have tutored over 50 children and teens, ages 3-14, in various subjects. With my youngest students, I have helped them improve their reading comprehension and ability markedly. My older students have been teens preparing for college, and as I have done extremely well on my SATs and ACT (scores can be supplied upon request), I have been able to help them improve in that field as well. I prefer a very laid back, informal environment when I teach. I can adapt very easily, and only require that my students respect me and try their best. I can help them with the rest

I know the structure and mechanics of the test, and can teach you how to beat the test-makers. Tutor in the Austin Area for 10 years. Vendor in 'Tutorial Services' for a State Agency for five years. Helped students from 16 to 46 get to where they need to be. Helped students to achieve their goals, and become more efficient with their time and their abilities. I have a knack of making the complicated simple. Experienced, I can easily break down subjects to their essence. Confident and charismatic, I can foster a sense of achievement and self-worth in a student who is struggling with self esteem or test anxiety issues. Familiar with subjects, I am an expert at many levels and across many disciplines. I am the total tutor, who still has much to learn himself.

less tricky, more advanced, more memorization! I have been tutoring for the ACT and SAT for three years after having scored very well on my GRE and getting trained by an elite Test Prep company in Southern California. Currently I'm a professor of theology, ethics and philosophy at Incarnate Word University in San Antonio, TX. I've continued to tutor because I find the work both meaningful and impactful. I do only what is necessary -- nothing less or more -- to help you succeed. Most students learn best by being guided rather than taught. The strategy for success on standardized tests is fairly general, but every student has particular strengths and weaknesses that must be factored into the preparation process. Hence, I take a very individually customized approach.

I worked in after school progrmas all through college and generally enjoy helping children study. I am very engaging, patient and relate well to any age child or young adult. I am not a proto-typical, traditional "tutor" in that I never studied education in a pedagogical sense, but I am highly educated and always made high grades in every level of school. I may can help where the traditonal teachers/tutors have been unsuccessful. I have no specialized training related to ADD/ADHD other than I have been diagnosed as such since high school. I learned to thrive in light of it and feel like I have insight into those with the same diagnosis.

I teach students from where they are! Sometimes there are gaps and holes in past learning that can be filled in before the student can soar. I am very personable, encouraging and understand how intimidating the blank page or the prospects of taking a standardized test can be. I have over 25 years of experience as a high school and college English instructor. I have a bachelor degree in English education and a masters in liberal arts with 18 graduate hours in English. I began and operated my own private, fully accredited high school, test prep and tutoring companies.

Each larger question can subsequently be broken down into a set of smaller questions. These smaller questions are the building blocks of knowledge a student will acquire in classes and it is the ability to put them all together in a coherent manner that allows them to solve the problems at hand. I am a firm believer in asking leading questions of students that may not directly pertain to the question being asked on an assignment, but will get them thinking in the correct manner such that the real question will be easy. I use a lot of connection to the real world and a lot of analogy such that the students can get a handle on the subject matter and see parallels to every day life. As an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan I studied chemistry, biochemistry, and mathematics as part of a triple major. I felt my breadth of technical fields was important because it would al

I firmly believe that you learn best when you're having fun. Once a topic fascinates you, your mind automatically engages more, which helps you remember better. So I work to draw students in by keeping things interesting, using fun examples, humor, and applying things to areas they will actually care about. I want to make you actually WANT to learn. I have a very adaptable teaching style. If one explanation isn't helpful, I'll try to approach from a different perspective, until we get something that works. I also prefer to encourage children to figure things out themselves, using only a light hand to guide them in the right direction. It builds problem-solving skills, gives you a sense of achievement, and keeps you actively involved. I've always had a love of learning, and have naturally slipped into an informal tutor role with friends. During high school I took several AP tests and a
