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

I generally teach through visual aids and through very thorough explanations. If the student doesn't understand the first time I explain something, I will explain it in a different way and will keep explaining it in different ways until he/she fully understands what's being taught. I try my hardest to teach by explaining concepts logically and showing WHY and HOW, rather than simply saying something is what it is "just because." I have always been an honors student and am currently taking the highest levels of math (AP Calculus) and spanish (Spanish 5) at my high school. I am involved in Peer Mentors at my school and have tutored multiple students in a variety of subjects. I have also tutored students outside of school, mostly in math. I love teaching others and helping them to understand concepts that they previously were struggling with. I am very patient and will work my hardest to ma

I am patient, but have high expectations. I think most people don't really know what they are capable of achieving.

I also taught AP Computer Science for 2 years at an elite private school. I am an excellent standardized test taker (SAT, ACT, Praxis) and can share many test taking tips and strategies that have helped students improve their scores.

I help guide the student along, having them discover much of the information in a trial and error fashion. I tend to use the questions they are struggling with the most, making similar examples, then walking them through these problems and breaking down the problems until the student understands the how the process works. I have been tutoring for over seven years, starting with my peers in tenth grade. I have tutored a wide range of subjects, from Geometry through Calculus III, from general computer knowledge through utilizing the advanced functions of Microsoft Access. I have tutored people ranging from my peers to people three times my age, to as young as third graders. My motto has evolved into "Helping those who feel they can not be helped"

My teaching style is extremely interactive. I do not believe I hold all of the knowledge and the students should defer to me. I like to begin by informally ascertaining what the students know about a given topic instead of assuming either lack of or mastery of said subject. I love using hands on materials and making the subjects relevant to students real life situations. I believe that all students, including those with learning disabilities, can achieve at levels that even adults could not imagine. I began tutoring friends and neigbors shortly after returning home from Michigan in 1995. I didn't earn my degree from Michigan until 2000. However, I spent the years in between working full time and taking classes. Many of my jobs involved tutoring students. In 2001 I received my Masters Degree in Elementary Education from Temple, and taught in the shcool district from January 2001 - June, 2

I attended a state college in New York where I was a dual marjor in Literautrue and Education. It was during these years of college that I gained my most relevant experience leading me to deepen my passion for the craft of educating others. When I graduated, I taught in a public elemnentary school New York for one year. I then moved to North Carolina to further my education career and again, taught 4th grade in a public elementary school. During this school year I was approached by a parent to tutor her two sons from Pakistan, in preparation for the NC state End of Grade exams. Needless to say thier English was a bit weak which is where my background in English/literature became most utilized. I tutored them in their home for 4 hours per week. I spoke with thier teachers and parents to target thier weakest points, then purchased materials suited for their achievment level and targe

Since high school, I have tutored friends, peers, and my younger siblings in several subjects, including biology, chemistry, French, and algebra. As a future medical student with a background in anthropology and French, I am comfortable teaching many subjects as I have had to become competent in the sciences and have developed skills as a writer through my anthropology concentration and interest in clinical research and manuscript writing. Working as a teacher’s assistant in Human Physiology, I developed particular strengths in tutoring biology and learned how to review a wealth of information with a large classroom of students as well as how to focus on the needs of various individuals in the class. I have always enjoyed working with other people and felt that as a student I gained a lot from teaching others. I believe that first key step to successful teaching is to allows the studen

I am grateful that school was easy for me, but I also know that for many children the task of discovering, understanding, making sense of, and retaining information can be tough and may seem almost overwhelming. All children can learn and there is no better way to instill that desire in them, than to work one-on-one or in small groups. All subjects can be made interesting, and I feel I have a knack for making the "boring" material come alive with relevance and excitement. Upon graduating from Johns Hopkins with a degree in writing, I substitute taught full-time at the high school and the middle school levels in the small upstate New York town where I grew up. Since my days as a substitute teacher, I have worked as a freelance writer, Senior Editor at a major publishing company, Senior Copywriter at an ad agency, and attended grad school. Over the past 15 years, I have tutored a number

My teaching style has been to make learning fun and easy to remember. When I have taught I've been very interactive with the students and have gotten many compliments from students and patients as well, on my ability to communicate on almost any level. In Medical School, Residency and practice I have always been expected to be in the simultaneous role of student, teacher, mentor and tutor. I can say I have a vast amount of training and expereience in science, physics, chemistry, mathematics, as well as the liberal arts. I score as an ITSP on the Myers-Briggs evaluation which means I am not only concrete in speech and utilitarian in getting things done, I am also directive and attentive in teaching settings. I have done a small amount of teaching at the junior college level and am comfortable giving oral presentations to groups of people.

I am able to assess and work with children based on their individual needs. All children can learn, and they all have the potential to succeed! I worked as the artistic program director of a community based non-profit agency for children ages 3-18. I taught theater and tutored core curriculam to children in the after school program. I also created and conducted literacy and arts training for the resident Americorps Program. I was the director and artist for Wolf Trap Early Arts Learning, which is a program developed to teach early childhood instructors how to use the arts as a vehicle to teach core curriculam. I learned head start curriculam, and the Connecticut Framework in order to design relevant training.

My career path has been filled with various tutoring and teaching activities. I taught high school English for three years and am currently teaching community college English. I began tutoring on a volunteer basis for fun in college and continued to do so during graduate school on a paid basis. I am also a published freelance writer with three years of corporate communications experience. My tutoring and teaching experience has introduced me to Derek who has no surviving family members, Mike who has abusive family members, Paul who has been tracked inappropriately, and many others with discouraging situations. Rather than let their hardships be crutches or barriers, I approach their capabilities no differently than the highest academically tracked students with pleasant home lives. I just adjust to their paces. I believe that, as Mike Rose says, “Students will float to the mark you set.”

As an Environmental Educator at the NC Museum of Natural Science and the NC Maritime Museum I developed hands-on teaching strategies that utilize children's inherent scientific curiosity to introduce principals of ecology and natural history. As a math teacher, I worked with struggling high school students to improve their classroom grades and establish good study habits. As a Master’s in Marine Science candidate at North Carolina State University, I worked as the head teaching assistant, preparing and executing laboratory exercises in Principles of Oceanography and Earth Systems Science. Educators play a vital role in exciting students' curiosity and motivating students' successes. A good teacher can impact a student's education throughout his life, and I strive to instill in my students strong work habi
