We are a team of experienced teachers and tutors each specializing in our own subject strengths. We provide excellent customer service, possibly immediate or same day for homework help or project completion. Online tutoring is also available with a shared online whiteboard for step-by-step problem solving. We strive to get to the root of the problem be it a test-taking challenge or a problem with foundational concepts. Not very fond of your teacher? Unfortunately, this is often the case. We follow your own pace of learning to achieve results. We love the moment when a student finally understands a topic and starts building self-confidence. We can then use this to change the way a student thinks about a subject resulting in continual improvement and achievement.

My comments on tutoring PSAT : math

I'm a graduate of UCLA Engineering with a passion for explaining how the physical world works through math and physics along with 14 years of tutoring experience in those subjects, test prep, and mentorship programs. The teaching strategy I believe in emphasizes subject fundamentals, a powerful and necessary tool for higher problem solving. This strategy has proven very effective regardless of the student's educational background or mental ability. Besides being knowledgeable, I am motivating, caring, and patient in guiding your student to academic success! EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING: Executive Functioning is a separate realm that tutoring can assist in. It deals with cognitive processes including organization, time management, and study skills. Much of the difficulty students face in academic subjects can be attributed to the lack of executive functioning. They either cannot keep up w ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with older children especially those in high school. I strongly believe that all students can suceed in the classroom as long as they have a good understanding of the materials being taught. And I make it my mission to make sure my students gain this understanding and will use any measure or teaching tool to ensure this. I am extremely patient and understanding with students and my ultimate goal is to see them suceed.
As a recent college graduate, I have a dedicated work ethic and a high performance level in the classroom which will translate onto the students I work with.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is to show students how to make themselves successful. By motivating my students to do their best every time I can help them exceed expectations and thrive under any situation both academically and socially. Many students focus on what they think they cannot do. What I teach them is to highlight their strengths and improve their weaknesses. I do so with the use of clear directions, constant monitoring, and positive praise. I believe every child can learn it is merely a matter of finding the proper teaching method.
As a University of South Florida college of education graduate I have a wealth of experience with teaching both in the classroom and on a one to one basis. I have successfully tutored students in english, reading comprehension, science and social sciences.

More About This Tutor...

While attending Junior High School, I decided to teach-particularly mathematics. I believe that every student can learn and that most problems come from not have a solid background and/or not finding a way of learning the particular subject. There are a variety of ways of learning, and each student and even each subject requires analysis and implementation and each student is individually important. I strive not only to provide instruction in particular courses but also to teach students how to learn on their own. I believe that each individual's future is either restricted or broadened by her or his education and my job is to open horizons for students..
During 38 years of high school teaching I have taught standard, college prep and honors courses in science, math and video production. This includes general science, physical science, biology, and physics; general math, pre-al ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My training in rhetoric, speech, and debate has taught me the importance of speaking clearly and articulately. This means that I pay close attention to language and I try to bring out that quality in my students. Other methods that I use come from my time as a foreign language teacher. Here, repetition and practice of introduced concepts are key. It's not enough to simply pass on ideas and words, the student must engage with the material for it to become real. Even though I might teach to high standards I am a very easy going person!
Having graduated with honors from a top university, the greatest asset I offer comes from my real world teaching experience. During my tenure as a substitute I have taught at all levels, from kindergarten to middle-aged adults, in all subject areas. Even as a young person I was involved with teaching others; I first began as a teacher's aid in high ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy being able to share the knowledge that I have accumulated during my years of life and education. I am generally able to frame information in a way that is mentally accessible to all students so that they can grasp it for themselves. I believe in allowing the student to take ownership of their learning so that they can be proud of what they have accomplished. With confidence and good self-esteem, a student's opportunities are endless.
During my years at Gannon University, I tutored for the state-funded CAAP program. I tutored college students in English Composition, French, Spanish, Theology, Philosophy. I also had the opportunity to tutor an elementary student in Math, English, Science and Theology for 2 years.

I have earned a bachelors degree in Psychology, passed the CBEST, and have about four years of work experience as a tutor. I tutored students, ranging from grades K-12, in various subjects, but mainly in Mathematics and Language Arts/Reading. Also, in a previous position, I managed after-school tutoring programs for both elementary and junior high schools at the school site, in-home, and public location/library.
Education is extremely important to me. As an educator, I think it is important to not only share one's knowledge, but to be able to adapt one's teaching style for each student. Through my experience, I know it is important to have patience and be open-minded with my students. I enjoy tutoring and being a positive role model to all my students.
