My comments on tutoring Entrance Exams : Compass tests, entrance exams

I usually start with a diagnostic test to concentrate on weaker areas then come up with a weekly plan focusing on those areas. After a lesson, I usually give worksheets and sometimes online exercises, depending on the subject, and use videos and games if applicable.
I have tutored and mentored students for more than five years in Algebra I & II, Trigonometry, Physics, Chemistry, English and ESL. I have a degree in Psychology and a certificate in TEFL. I believe tutoring is a really helpful and useful addition to class and studying by oneself because it is reviewing class material once again and it is a way for students to be accountable to yet another person who knows the answers to their questions and can help them work to that answer as well.

Taught 8th Grade Pre-Algebra & Algebra my first 6 years of teaching. Then I moved onto high school. I am now teaching Adv. Alg II(7 years), Alg III with Trig(5 years), SAT Math Prep (5 years) & AP BC Calculus(2 years).
My teaching style is to produce the most effective lessons to the type of learners I have in the classroom. I am very easy going and easy to trust and relate to. I have respect for all my students and I earn theirs in return. My students feel very comfortable in my class and are always eager to learn. I do believe all children can learn and will live up to your expectations if you believe in them.

More About This Tutor...

I always look forward to tutoring new people becuase I not only get to make a difference in their life by helping them master what they're struggling with, but I also get to learn about people and different learning styles. I view tutoring as a way to help others while improving my interpersonal skills. I value all the skills I gain from tutoring because they will be assets when I become a physician. Working with all ages from kindergarten to college has taught me patience and how to conform to different people's needs.

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout many years of tutoring my peers and underclassmen, I have obtained several techniques to help students study effectively. Depend on each individual student and their study habit; I can adjust a specific agenda and curriculum to help strengthen their weakness and excel their strength. I am very patient and fun to be around. For me learning is a combination of fun and hard work. I tend to make the material easier to understand and to captivate their interest in the subject.
I’ve graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2009. My Biology coursework has centered on theory, problem solving and critical thinking.

I have also taken various computer skills, writing, and test taking classes that can prepare s ... read more

While working as an Assistant Director of Education, I have learned to be more effective as a teacher. I have been teaching for past seven years and I have taught all age groups and subjects like, English, Math, Sciences, test preps, etc. My degree in Biology has helped me in my analytical skills and communication ability.

More About This Tutor...

I find teaching languages an incredibly enriching experience for both my students and myself. Inside and outside the classroom I strive to be a role model, an ambassador from my country and the company I work for. One of my primary goals is to make the classroom a safe haven for students; a place where they can feel comfortable to be themselves, make mistakes, help each other improve, build self-esteem, create inside jokes among ourselves, laugh often and a lot and make new friends. With this philosophy I have achieved great things! My students usually have the highest self-confidence and thus the highest fluency, grades and overall performance levels at any university or institute where I have taught. They feel as though being a member of my class is like having a membership in a private club.
