SAT - Math Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Austin, TX

easiest area to improve in, my specialty I have been tutoring for the ACT and SAT for three years after having scored very well on my GRE and getting trained by an elite Test Prep company in Southern California. Currently I'm a professor of theology, ethics and philosophy at Incarnate Word University in San Antonio, TX. I've continued to tutor because I find the work both meaningful and impactful. I do only what is necessary -- nothing less or more -- to help you succeed. Most students learn best by being guided rather than taught. The strategy for success on standardized tests is fairly general, but every student has particular strengths and weaknesses that must be factored into the preparation process. Hence, I take a very individually customized approach.

I know the structure and mechanics of the test, and can teach you how to beat the test-makers. Tutor in the Austin Area for 10 years. Vendor in 'Tutorial Services' for a State Agency for five years. Helped students from 16 to 46 get to where they need to be. Helped students to achieve their goals, and become more efficient with their time and their abilities. I have a knack of making the complicated simple. Experienced, I can easily break down subjects to their essence. Confident and charismatic, I can foster a sense of achievement and self-worth in a student who is struggling with self esteem or test anxiety issues. Familiar with subjects, I am an expert at many levels and across many disciplines. I am the total tutor, who still has much to learn himself.

I prefer a very laid back, informal environment when I teach. I can adapt very easily, and only require that my students respect me and try their best. I can help them with the rest I have tutored over 50 children and teens, ages 3-14, in various subjects. With my youngest students, I have helped them improve their reading comprehension and ability markedly. My older students have been teens preparing for college, and as I have done extremely well on my SATs and ACT (scores can be supplied upon request), I have been able to help them improve in that field as well.

As a graduating senior in Microbiology My comprehensive coursework in the hard sciences, including Biology and Chemistry, provides me with substantial knowledge in several domains. I began my work as a college tutor in 2007 and immediately found fulfillment in helping students to meet their academic goals. By the end of my time with the tutoring center, I was designated a CRLA Level 3 certified tutor. In addition to my tutoring experience, I also worked as a student teacher, teaching math to two classes of seventh graders. I learned necessary skills in classroom management and how to create lessons that are flexible enough for students on different levels of knowledge and comprehension. I focus on showing students why a correct answer is correct and guide them with questions so that they can cultivate the correct answer on their own. I learned the importance of building rapport and tailo

Each larger question can subsequently be broken down into a set of smaller questions. These smaller questions are the building blocks of knowledge a student will acquire in classes and it is the ability to put them all together in a coherent manner that allows them to solve the problems at hand. I am a firm believer in asking leading questions of students that may not directly pertain to the question being asked on an assignment, but will get them thinking in the correct manner such that the real question will be easy. I use a lot of connection to the real world and a lot of analogy such that the students can get a handle on the subject matter and see parallels to every day life. As an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan I studied chemistry, biochemistry, and mathematics as part of a triple major. I felt my breadth of technical fields was important because it would al

As a graduate of sciences I have an in depth knowledge of the basic skills that are needed to continue a higher education. I have completed 140 hours in college that includes plenty of hours in biology, physics, math (thru calculus III) , and chemistry. I have also been tutoring freshman college students in these areas for several years. I know what it takes to learn and retain the vital information that needs to be learned before the student enters college. I am also a fluent Spanish speaker and can tutor students that are currently taking Spanish. I am able to teach these subjects to biligual students who need extra help in the science and math subjects. I approach teaching as something that takes very much patience and willingness to listen to the students problems. I believe in letting the student self discover his or her ablitiies by steering them in the right direction. I act as a

I graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University in May 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies degree. I am a certified teacher that specializes in Mathematics. While in school I tutored for the athletic department for four years in many subjects of mathematics. I also completed 2 internships and a semester of student teaching in 3 different middle schools. I love tutoring mathematics and find it rewarding when my students succeed and learn to love math as I do. I am patient and understanding and can easily adapt to each student's different and unique learning styles. I am an exceptional listener and communicator and I never give up on any student. Mathematics is arguably the hardest subject for students to grasp, and I try to make my lessons fun and enjoyable.

I have been a tutor for the past five years. I have experience working with students with different levels of comprehension, i.e. those struggling to graduate and coaching those involved in UIL academics. I was an accomplished UIL competitor as well as a coach of the number sense/math/science teams at the previous school where I was employed. My strengths lie in mathematics (Calculus for example) as well as physics. I can adjust to most settings. Right now I have a client back home that I work with on a once a month basis. I was used to high school and middle school students but have been working with their children who are in elementary grade levels. As such, they have vaulted to the top of their classes in math.

I have a masters degree in engineering. My study in college and graduate school involved extensive Math and Physics. During my graduate school I taught programming to sophomore students. I enjoy explaining technical concepts to students. I quite like the challenge of logically explaining difficult science concepts to students. I am very patient and try calmly to find a way to convincingly explain my point. I believe the key is to listen to the student and guage how much he/she is following and build on it. The idea is to gradually make the student 'discover' it, not merely force it on him/her. During my graduate school at The University of Texas at Austin, I have worked for 3 semesters as a teaching assistant for sophomore programming class. My work involved 3 hours of teaching a week, designing lab assignments and 12 hours of office hours a week to help/tutor students with assignments.

I have always had an interest in math and science, and I got my start tutoring in high school by helping fellow classmates and friends in these subjects. I went on to earn my BS in Mechanical Engineering from U.T. Austin. I have also spent much of my life in the world of music and began teaching beginner piano lessons several months ago. If the subject matter is analytical and involves numbers, I can certainly help you figure it out. I enjoy working with children of all ages, but particularly excel with more mature students trying to tackle more difficult subject matter. One of my greatest strengths is helping people understand abstract, technical material by simplifying the concepts and using analogies that the student can relate to. Often times we create a barrier because something seems like it should be hard. I make it my goal to break through that barrier by reducing the subje

My style of teaching is interactive one, where I interactive with students and try to know their way of learning, as every student has different needs, requirements, and then try to teach them according their style. I give emphasis on building basics and strengthening them in their core subjects, which will help them to excel their respective fields. I worked as Teaching assistant, Grader and University online teaching program website maintenance, through which teaching material/instructions were passed on to students apart from grades, homework submissions,team and individual progress monitor. Subjects which I tutored were Algebra, Calculus, Trignometry, physics, engineering mechanics, engineering math packages(like math lab, mathcad), engineering drawings(Pro/E), Autocad.
