My comments on tutoring GRE : 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.

My comments on tutoring GRE : I did very well on my GRE, with a cumulative total of 310 on the verbal and quantitative reasoning sections. I received a 5 on the writing section.

I don't any paid, professional tutoring experience. However, I have volunteered my services to family members and friends. During my sophomore year, I took Organic Chemistry and excelled. However, my friends were struggling. They hated me a bit for how easy it came to me. I decided to tutor them and help them with homework assignments and studying. They ended up doing very well on the exams, allowing them to secure a 3.0 or higher in the course. I also had to regular help my classmates out with more complex problems in Physics. I was not so much tutoring as working together with them on the homework, but still, it involved clear explanation and a thorough knowledge of the subject matter.
I always liked playing up my quirky personality. My favorite teachers and professors were the goofy ones, the ones who can relate to the students' fun side. These teachers also challenged me the ... read more

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.

More About This Tutor...

I have been teaching and tutoring students since the 1980's, both in Israel (where I completed my B.A.) and in the United States, first as a graduate student and then as an Assistant Professor of English. My background of studies includes many humanities and social sciences (English Literature, Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology, Political Science, History, English Composition), and I have extensive knowledge of science and math subjects at the high school level. I have worked with students from many backgrounds and cultures.
I am a born teacher, and I love the challenge of bringing students who are less than engaged in the learning process to becoming eager and confident learners. I am patient, though I also believe in setting goals and reaching benchmarks and deadlines. My basic philosophy is that all young people are not only able to learn but also capable of much more than th ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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 assignm ... read more
