PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Carthage, NC

I am a calm, patient, and easy-going person who loves learning and loves helping others to learn. I enjoy adapting to different learning styles, and want to help each student to the greatest extent I am able to. I try to strike the correct balance between allowing students to work problems out themselves and giving them guidance. The subject areas I focus in are generally considered difficult, but I believe that with guidance, and perhaps a more constructive mindset, the problems can become enjoyable and achievable puzzles. As a masters degree holding physicist I have an extensive background in both physics and mathematics. Additionally, as a published author and the author of many research papers and lab reports I have considerable grammatical skills, and writing experience. My whole educational career tutoring my classmates and siblings has come as second nature to me, but I have

Student-led and interactive. No lectures. No drudgery. I focus on the process of solving problems. Restate the question. Draw diagrams. Figure out what information is missing. How can I get that information? Can it be calculated or is an estimate good enough? What sources are reliable? I solve problems. I am a bioanalytical chemist and biomedical engineer. This profession requires using math, statistics, biology and chemistry at a high level on a daily basis as I develop products that improve healthcare. I have taught or tutored science and math from elementary to post-college level for over 25 years in diverse settings.

I started tutoring students middle and high school prior to graduating college. I have taught part-time college students at various institutions since 1996. I also have worked as an independent tutor part-time. I have more than 30 years of experience teaching as a one-on-one tutor and as a college instructor. I currently teach at Wake Tech Community College. I have taught at Strayer University, Campbell University, Mount Olive College, Durham Tech Community College, Central Carolina Community College and Vance-Granville Community College. I have worked with 3 other tutoring companies: University Instrcutors, Advanced Learners and WyzAnt. I enjoy teaching any age student, but more than that I get satisfaction when that student attains their goal. I believe in using the Socratic method of teaching and allowing the student to get their own answers rather than just telling them. I seek to de

10 years tutoring experience I have been tutoring for over 10 years in all types of Math, including Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Precalculus, Calculus etc. I have also been tutoring in Chemistry and Physics. I have experience tutoring at the Middle School, High School, and College levels. I love tutoring students with diverse backgrounds ethnically, educationally, economically etc. I love people and I love teaching! Different students have different 'keys' to learning. I utilize a flexible approach which seeks to 'unlock' the potential in each individual student.

I am an Attorney with 20+ years of experience. I have successfully mentored and tutored young students and attorneys; including assisting with preparation for the LSAT and state bar exams. I served in the US Army Reserves as a JAG Officer; and provided instruction and counsel to many young soldiers. I was employed as an elementary school Teacher's Assistant; and have frequently volunteered as a classroom assistant and tutor. My style of teaching depends on the student. We all learn in different manners; therefore my instruction will be tailored to techniques that maximize the students' specific learning preferences.

I believe that all children are capable of learning--the trick is to figure out each child's individual style. I believe strongly in developing positive relationships with my students, and the rapport I have with them in the classroom or while tutoring has aided their successes. I tend to adjust my methods as I learn more about my students, and my students have experienced quite a bit of success in the past. I have a BS in Elementary Education and just completed my sixth year of teaching at the elementary level. I have experience teaching grades 2, 3 and 4, and I'm comfortable tutoring students in all aspects of the elementary curriculum up through grade 8. While in college, I tutored fellow college students for two years in biology, English and math, and I was named Outstanding Tutor in my second year.

My teaching style is fairly laid back. I believe that all students possess the potential to learn. Teaching should be done in a multisensory method to appeal to students' senses and to help them succeed as best as they can. Each student is an individual and should be treated with respect. The learning environment that teachers provide should be nurturing, structured, and interesting to allow for students to reach their full potentials. While every student may have some weaknesses, concentrating on a student's strengths is important to help them enjoy school and find success. I attended a college preparatory high school, where academia was highly stressed and valued. Through hard work and much effort, I excelled in all subject areas earning above a 4.0 when I graduated. As a California Polytechnic State University graduate in psychology and public policy, I have gained thorough knowledge

My teaching style can best be described as entertaining, insightful, dedicated, flexible and individually-oriented. I feel that for any individual who chooses to learn something new, the biggest key to their success is motivation and their personal interest in what they are looking to learn. I also recognize that many students (especially young learners) are guided to study various lessons/fields by parents/educators and they need to find what they are being guided to study interesting in some way. I work to create a welcoming rapport with students and then, using my knowledge of the study being taught along with paying close attention to the desires and needs of a student, create a lesson that student finds interesting and therefore become drawn to. I like to try to make all my lessons exciting and to always end with the student feeling good about whatever they may have learned. As

I have not taught anyone or tutored anyone for money. However, I would like to have the oppitunity to be able to tutor children or young adults on their way of the journey of life. I too was tutored going through school and not just once. I attended Sylvin Learning Center every other year since sixth grade. It helped me understand the areas that I didnt and excel in the areas I did. I would like to give thas opportunity to someone else. I learned through visual aid. So, I guess I would lean towards this style of teaching. However, if a student learns better with audio aid then I would be willing to combine the two methods to better educate the student. My goal is to provide the best education possible and to suceed in that is to have great communication and alittle fun doing the work that is expected.

I am an avid believer in authentic learning and have taught using differential instruction for many years. I believe that students learn by doing and therefore provide real life experiences to allow students to learn at their own pace. During my schooling, I have earned a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education as well as a master's in Library and Information Studies. In addition I have teaching certificates for both fields as well as Biology. I've held Library, Biology, General Science, English and Math teaching positions. I also have experience tutoring students in all of these areas.

My passion since I was 5 years old has always been teaching. I used to play teacher with my sisters and give themm stickers for job well done. I feel students will respect you and appreciate you if you relate to them. Not necessarily reduce yourself to their level but treat them like young adults. There have been many teachers throughout my career as a student that have greatly motivated me to succeed and I genuinely want to do the same for others. As a Fayetteville State University undergraduate, I did a lot of volunteer work with high school student. I also worked in the school's computer lab assisting students with classwork and homework. I have tutored students for the SATs. My specific field is English but I can also tutor in Spanish. I have an extensive amount of knowledge in grammar and composition as well as anything in the literature field.

As a current mathematics teacher, I understand the individual needs and am able to deal with the unique experiences of each student. I have taught basic level Pre-Algebra, State-wide tested Algebra I, and honors level Discrete Math. I have worked with all ages, attitudes, levels, and abilities. During the last 7 years, I have taught phonics to 2nd graders, sign-language to middle school children, and all subjects of math at my current school. I am flexible in every aspect of my teaching and use that to adapt lessons and differentiate instruction. I love teaching mathematics and I feel that I work well with all students. I am patient and will take as much time as your child needs until they truly understand the topic. I believe all children are capable of learning and I am aware of the constant struggle most have in math. I am willing to put in the time and effort with your child t

I believe that every student is capable of learning, but that each one of them learns in a different way. Moreover, I thoroughly enjoy working with children one-on-one, so that I may teach to their primary way of learning. In addition, I pride myself on being patient and considerate when working with children who are having difficulty grasping the key concepts. Furthermore, I utilize many memory and teaching techniques, so that all students may understand the important characteristics of the subject matter they are trying to comprehend. As a student, I was very driven to achieve a high level of excellence and by doing so I received a 3.9 G.P.A. in my Masters program. Also, during my time in my Masters program, I was inducted into Phi Kappa Phi and Kappa Delta Pi. My Masters is in Education with my specialization area being mathematics. Moreover, I have teaching licenses in North Ca
