PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Saint Johns, 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 tutored for the SAT (and related PSAT) in the past. I have taken the PSAT myself and was a National Merit Scholarship Finalist. I am a big proponent of the theory of multiple intelligences and believe that each student has certain styles of learning that work best for them. I aim to help students figure out how they learn best. Once they realize where their strengths are, they can incorporate the concept into all of their studies, not just the subject for which I happen to be tutoring them. I have tutored a wide variety students on many subjects. I am most experienced tutoring high school students for the SAT. I worked with Let's Get Ready, a non-profit organization dedicated to preparing high school students for the SAT and their college search process. I typically tutored students for the Math section, but I am capable of tutoring for the Critical Reading and Writing sections as

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. 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.

After graduating from the University of Michigan with a degree in sociology and a very strong science background. Since I always excelled at academics and standardized tests, I began tutoring high school and college students in math, science and verbal reasoning to help them prepare to take standardized exams. This experience led me into the tutoring high school students in high school subjects such as geometry, algebra and creative writing. During the last eight years, I have tutored students in math, science and English. I enjoy working with students who want to learn. I excel at communicating with children of various ages and adapting my tutoring style to what their needs and their interests are. I understand that some material can seen quite boring to students.

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.

I am passionate about teaching and as a recent retiree, I miss the opportunity to work with students. I have taught AP language arts, standard English to all levels of high school, drama, speech, adult ed (FCCJ), and dual enrollment English Compostion, and Introduction to Literature. I am distressed at the lack of student expertise in composition and I believe in a firm foundation of basic grammar. I know how important college essays are and I have taught test prep skills to students. I have thirty-one years working with young adults from all levels and from all aptitudes. I have also worked with inclusion students and understand the dictates of IEP compliance. I am creative, witty, and have a great rapport with students. I understand the nuances of various learning styles and my first priority is to discover the style my learner is. I administer diagnostic skills which I use to
