ACT is one of my top subjects! I have a 36 on the ACT and have experience tutoring it.

I can focus on teaching the material (for example, topics covered on the Math section or grammar for the English section) or on overall test-taking strategies and practice tests, depending on one's personal needs and preferences.
Are you struggling with the ACT or SAT, or are you looking for a bit of a boost on your scores to gain an edge with college admissions? In that case, I believe I can help you out: I'm Katarina, a high school senior who scored both a 36 on my ACT and 2400 on my SAT in 2014. Only a handful of students in the entire nation accomplish a perfect score on both tests each year, but practicing specific strategies and keeping in mind certain tips can dramatically improve performance. As a student who recently took these tests, I understand the typical problems high school students encounter on these tests and how to resolve them. Scoring highly on the ACT or SAT do ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have over 15 years experience as a private tutor. My students have ranged from elementary to adult learners seeking teaching licensure. My desire is to find out what teaching style best matches the student's learning style. This may include a Socratic teaching method for some, while others may require a more traditional lecture approach.

My comments on tutoring ACT : I made a 30+ score on both the Reading and English sections of the ACT.

I believe a hands on approach to teaching a subject is the best way for a child to succeed. I believe that flashcards as well as games help younger children succeed in mastering a subject. Making a subject fun is key to helping a child tackle a tough subject. For older kids, practice tests are very helpful as well as flashcards. Encouragement and support is also an important part of mastery.
I have been a volunteer tutor at a local elementary school during their aftercare program. I have also been a mentor through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Memphis to a first grader who had trouble with math (adding,subtracting, and multiplication). I have also helped fellow peers study for tests and the Reading and English sections of the ACT.

One of my students was also ADD/ADHD. I have achieved and maintained a 3.0 in all English and History courses at the college level. I have been operating the bookeeping and business side of a volunteer organization for the last three years.

My teaching style can best be described as varied! I believe that children learn in numerous ways, so as an educator it is my responsibility to provide multiple experiences - visual, oral, tactile, etc. A person walking by my classroom would see children smiling, working in groups, accomplishing projects, and would hear noise.
After graduating from Vanderbilt University I taught 5th grade for 2 years while working on my Master's at TSU. I then moved to the Knoxville area and taught K until my son was born in 2000. We then moved to Wisconsin where I taught in various after school programs until my 2 children were old enough for preschool. I then went back part time and taught 4 K until my 3rd child was born in 2005. Throughout this entire time I tutored various children ages 8 - 15 years if age.

As a graduate from a small private high school (graduating Salutatorian) and elite college (graduating Cum Laude), I was afforded the great opportunity to work closely with both my professors and peers. The intimate settings and ongoing relationships encouraged dedication and focus. Complementing my BA in Business (Accounting/Finance) degree with a minor in Anthropology/Sociology enhanced my ability to understand and effectively communicate among personality and learning types. My range of experience spans from high school age well into adulthood and across many subjects, including, but not limited to, English, Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, French and comprehensive studies for the GED.
My background in sociology and tutoring combined with my client service experience has provided me with a unique ability to understand and communicate across all age levels and learning types. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am also a poet and an inspirational and motivational speaker. I have written poems for my coworkers for twenty years at my employer. I would say that my style of teaching is creative. I stress the fundamentals, making sure of the foundation, but remain creative in the approach that reaches the student. For example, I made music videos to explain International Standards Organization 9001 principles for my audit students. My techniques have been very well received! Learning is fun! I make it so!
As a Chemical Engineer I have a diverse set of skills upon which to draw upon for a variety of subjects. As a substitute teacher, I have been called upon to engage students on a one-on-one basis in the classroom at both the middle and high school level. I know first hand that most students just need a little more coaching outside the classroom to raise their level of excellence. I co ... read more

I received a bachelors degree from The University of Memphis in integrative studies in the fall of 2009. Upon graduation, I was required to complete two semesters of student teaching. Also, during my four years of college, I tutored three different students, one in reading and the other two in English. From August 2009 through January 2011, I was employed at a child care facility where I was director but spent most of my time tutoring and assisting the after school kids with their homework and projects. My strongest subjects are English and Reading. However I'm qualified in all subjects kindergarten through sixth grade. I'm currently enrolled in graduate school at The University of Memphis.
My passion is teaching, encouraging, and motivating students. I believe that all students have the potential to succeed in life and reach their dreams and goals. I feel that education is the ke ... read more

I enjoy the challenge of tutoring students struggling with a subject. As a student who had much trouble understanding math and biology, I learned various techniques over the years to become a better thinker and researcher in each discipline studied. I wish to teach others how they can accomplish the tasks in their subjects and that it is not a question of whether they are smart or not.
I have tutored many students from many walks of life and enjoy the confidence they gain when they improve their grades. After my first two years of lackluster studying at the University of Mississippi, I had gained bad study habits that needed to be reformed. I attended tutoring sessions regularly at the University of Memphis and my grades consequently improved. I enjoyed the boosted level of confidence I gained as I realized the material I was studying was not impossible, and I strive to teach other ... read more
