ACT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Sanibel, FL

My old next door neighbors have two children. One is a boy in elementary and one is a girl in middle school. I tutored the boy in reading and writing. He was able to read his first book on his own after a few weeks with me. I had to tutor the girl in math. she was taking algebra and was having a tough time with it. In two weeks of many meetings, she was able to pass her final exam. No matter what grade I was in, I always enjoyed going down to the ESE room and helping the special kids. I did what ever I could to help.

I am a professional teacher. I have 15 years of experience teaching. I have taught Math and Computer Science in college. Also I have taught in both public and private school systems. I have experience private tutoring for students in school, college and also university. I do understand that all students learn at different degrees but they all can learn better. So I am always teaching my students with considering their individual characteristics. I enjoy teaching because I very often hear from my students that they really start to understand Math or Computer Science better only when I take them to learn. Working one-on-one with a student is a great opportunity to really focus on the individual characteristics and academic needs of the student and helping them to be more successful in learning.

I have personally took the ACT and did very well on it. More recently I have assisted in ACT preparation. Lead the student to find the right answer himself or herself if possible. I have done private tutoring of high school students in math from pre-algebra to calculus and in other subjects. I have also home schooled adopted daughters from lower grades to high school level, including teaching English as a second language. In graduate school I was a teaching assistant in an electric machinery laboratory for non-electrical engineering majors. My own experience with standardized tests includes having taken the ACT in 1971 with scores ranging from 22 (76th percentile) in English to 31 (97th percentile) in math with a composite of 27 (93rd percentile) and having passed the GRE in 1975. Other previous experience includes 34 years experience as a communication system engineer. This exper

My teaching style is best described as adaptive. We all learn differently, some more so by doing, others by seeing or listening, and others by thinking it through. Learning is a combination of processes, emphasizing what works best. For me, the approach is to use what works best for the student to learn what needs to be learned, with the underlying objective of the student learning how to learn - meaning a self-awareness of what works best for him or her. The tough learning is slugging it through the stuff that we just don’t seem to get or seems to have no value in our future lives. One book I’ve always liked is “The Memory Book” by Harry Lorayne and Jerry Lucas for the varied approaches for using our brains. My teaching experience has been both formal and informal. I’ve been a teaching assistant to college undergraduates, an instructor in management studies and also an instruc

I believe that one particular style is not necessarily appropriate for all areas of studies or for students with varying assets and deficits. However, I attempt to have the student as involved and interactive with the learning rocess as can be achieved, and being legally trained, often employ the "Socratic Method"--an exchange of dialogue, which maximizes the student's participation and involvement, and even, on occasion, development of the learning process. I provided volunteer services to disadvantaged youngsters in math, reading in Chicago and Florida. I have taught legal writing and was a substitute teacher in Lee and Collier Counties. I tutored and/or managed SES programs for 3 providers in Lee County and was Director of a tutoring Lee CY tutoring program. I have had my own tutoring company since 1995. I have tutored K-12 thru graduate levels, as well as SAT, ACT, and FCAT 3-12. Sub

I believe learning how to recognize and prevent mistakes is more beneficial than correcting mistakes. Sometimes principles are misinterpreted and incorrectly applied repeatedly. I not only want to show you or your child how to prevent errors, but I also want to help show you study techniques, ways to stay organized, and time management. Together we can start overcoming any difficult subject matter. I am patient and aware that there are different learning styles. Let's figure out you're best one! I began tutoring when I was in high school. Students at the top of our class were given the opportunity to assist in a third grade classroom. I carried this newly found passion into my college years and graduate school years where I tutored students in english, math, and science (biology, genetics, chemistry, molecular, microbiology).Fortunately, I have always been a good student and knew what to

All through school I had an advanced understanding of math and i enjoyed helping others better understand it, for the past 5 years i have been offering tutoring to those in need. I have great understanding in everything up to and including statistics, algebra II, and some calculus. I have always seen math in a different way then those around me and have always been able to help others see the problems in a different light to better understand it. I take pride in my ability to help others understand even when they believe it will be hopeless

My style is to give detailed examples and descriptions and then let the students try to work through the problems I have selected for them. Throughout a given session I coach the students by answering all their questions along the way and providing positive feedback. Through this method I hope for each student to increase their proficiency in the material by the end of the session. Each new session is begun with a review of the previously learned material. My style, can be best summed up as patient, methodical and constructive. As a Chemical Enigineering graduate, I was exposed to many courses in higher level mathematics as well as all subject matter ranging from physics, chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and biology. In addition, I have written many papers and essays, both scientific and artistic in nature. I have even been published in a scientific research journal as a co-au

After graduation I taught English for 28 years. During this time I became a Dept. Head. I also was trained to train teachers in learning styles and hemisphericity. I have adult AD/HD. I began working on teaching methods for AD/HD students. I have also trained over 200 teachers. I have tutored students for the GED, ACT, SAT, LSAT, and MCAT. I believe strongly in approaching each child with a variety of techniques. I let the child explore why, then give concept information. The student then needs to practice, and finally personalize the information. This must be done using both analysis (left brain) and synthesis(right brain).

As I discovered while in college, I have been instructing people all of my life. While working in the food-service industry for the past twenty-plus years, I have held supervisory positions and provided training to literally hundreds of employees. This natural ability to work with others became apparent when I began tutoring. I have strong organizational skills and have been trained in many aspects of tutoring through my involvement in the Supplemental Instruction Program at Florida Gulf Coast University. As a non-traditional student working toward overcoming disability, I have compassion and determination in my own personal presentation which lends to my authenticity. As a non-traditional student, my college experience awarded me many advantages, as well as, many opportunities to uncover hidden skills. I began tutoring for Student Support Services while attending community college

My first work experience began with counseling Severely Emotionally Disturbed children and their families. In this capacity I worked with the schools in order to enable the students to see the value of education and to work through their personal problems in order to be successful in the school setting. I have been a teacher/trainer for 12 years in the Lee County school system. The levels I taught included diverse populations of middle and high school students. Most of my classes were comprised of ESE students and in fact there were several years that I concentrated on Severely Emotionally Disturbed students in a special program. Throughout both of these careers I have been extremely successful in establishing rapport and trust with these children and have been triumphant in motivating this population to care about themselves and their education.
