Garrett G. - Pittsburgh, PA 15232 (49.6 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $27.50/hr.
I have been trained by a learning center on how to teach the SAT - Verbal. I have tutored many students on how to increase their scores as well. I am a great speaker, and I can easily relate to my students. I push my students thoroughly to reach their objectives, because I do not believe there is anyone who cannot learn a subject. I have never had a student fail on my watch, and I do not intend to ever have that happen if a student is trying. If you have the will to learn, I will see to it that you increase your grade. I am a Social Studies teacher in the state of Pennsylvania. I graduated from an NCATE accredited university that has a rigorous education program. In that program, I was required to teach elementary students, middle school students, high school students, college students, and adult classes. I have been teaching for three years and tutoring for five years. I have taught mul

I had been a teacher for 12 years engaging in a multitude of learning styles and methodology. I spent 6 years serving as principal at all levels. I was Director of Education for two years and then served as Superintendent of Schools for two districts for a total of 15 years.

Heather P - Elco, PA 15434 (37.5 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I enjoy teaching children at all levels. I find that children learn at different speeds and by different means. So, to be truly effective you have to present the information to the broadest base of students and hope you address all their needs. Having a great level of flexibility in your lesson plans is need to ensure that no one student falls behind. Over the past year, I served as an Americorps volunteer in an inner city charter school with an emphasis on character education. I worked one on one with students helping them with math, reading, and science skills. I assisted in classroom teaching of mini lessons too. I also helped with their after-school program, I also created supplemental study guides and multimedia software to help students to improve their study skills. Tutoring has been rewarding, because it has increased my interest in the field of education. Subsequently, I am s

Christopher I - Pittsburgh, PA 15236 (42.7 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $41.00/hr.
This particular position interests me because I struggled with math through middle school and understand the frustration it can create for a student. Mathematics is now my strongest subject and I chose the profession of accounting to utilize those strengths. During my time at college, I helped other students with their studies in math and business, specifically statistics and quantitative analysis. Although this teaching experience was with college level students, I have held a summer job working with 8-12 year olds for the past four years. When I finish my Master’s Degree, I may consider teaching at an institution such as CCAC because I enjoy helping others with their education. As a result of my post-high school studies in mathematics and business, I feel I'm suited to tutor people in those subjects. Statistics, quantitative methods, and analytical methods are my strongest subject

Ashley L - Pittsburgh, PA 15236 (43.8 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $39.50/hr.
I realized my passion for teaching after working in a daycare for two years and organizing their preschool program.

John C - Pittsburgh, PA 15211 (46.3 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I enjoy teaching and coaching. Why am I effective? I talk to - not at my pupils. My non-threatening and non-intimidating persona allows me to quickly develop a healthy rapport. By listening to my students' thought processes, I work within their frame of reference and then offer suggestions to guide them to a more appropriate path. Finally, I always encourage and am highly adept at objectively critiquing without offending. My professional career began at Kaplan Test Prep in Manhattan. As a Test Prep Specialist, I lectured to hundreds of students the concepts tested and test-taking strategies required for the GMAT, LSAT, GRE & SAT standardized exams. My ability garnered me Instructor of the Year for three consecutive years. In addition, I have private tutored in a variety of subject areas.

Rebecca E - Pittsburgh, PA 15222 (47.2 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I pride myself on my desire to structure my lessons and my attitude in a student-centered way, and I am keenly aware that the true environment of my classroom depends on me. My philosophy of education is that the bulk of the weight rests on my shoulders; I issue the clear expectations, promote logical consequences, and then I practice what I preach. A firm subscriber to the philosophy that students must be given the opportunity to make their own decisions and that they must be able to see the logical consequence of those decisions, I operate my classroom knowing that teenagers need to feel like they have ownership of their lives. If I am organized, prepare captivating lessons, provide clear expectations, and promote logical consequences, my students will be the captains of their own ships and I will have played a role in cultivating more engaged citizens. As a summa cum laude graduate,

David S - Pittsburgh, PA 15217 (48.8 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I began tutoring while in high school, as a junior and senior I would spend 2-3 afternoons a week at the Middle School helping the learning support classes write book reports. While in college at Slippery Rock University, I put up flyers around campus and worked as an independent tutor for five dollars an hour aiding my fellow students finish their final papers at the end of each semester. I feel that my degree in Creative Writing aids me greatly in tutoring because my ability to think outside the box and put myself in the writers shoes helps me to better understand their writing style. I've recently moved to the city and I am really eager to begin teaching and tutoring again. I prefer to work one on one with a single student, I do my very best to make my student feel comfortable and ready to learn. I learn what the student likes; music, sports, movies, I use these things to relate to th

Samuel M - Pittsburgh, PA 15224 (49.5 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $36.00/hr.
As a graduate of Duke University, I discovered new ways to unlock my own natural curiosity and translate it into qualifications and diplomas. I have successfully taught similar methods of achieving one's goals to friends and family when they have needed tutoring.
I have a great deal of volunteer experience of teaching one-on-one, but I have not yet officially tutored. I am passionate about communicating with individuals rather than classrooms. I am excited to teach motivated individuals who care about learning to achieve their own goals. Also, because I have three younger sisters, I have experienced the learning processes of many different individuals from many different perspectives. I graduated from Duke University with a Bachelor's degree in English and I recently earned a Master's degree in Creative Writing from Chatham University in Pittsburgh.

Mallory C - Monroeville, PA 15146 (54.1 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $35.50/hr.
I hold a degree in Political Science, but I concentrated in international relations with a fascination for other cultures and languages. Having lived in both England and France, I have been forced to adapt to new ways of thinking, speaking, writing and eventually teaching, where I was thrown in a classroom of French students for which I became a role model of American culture. It was during this time that I decided to work towards becoming a teacher.
Further,I am a university speech champion and have written many essays over the course of my studies. Some of which were presented to tutors at Oxford and critiqued on a weekly basis. Thus, my writing skills were formed during this time. I believe that every student can choose where he/she wants to go, as long as they are given the tools to acheive these ambitions. I have a heart for children and love watching their minds embrace n
