I taught them and their friends over the years. I taught sunday school children. I am very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have a BA in accounting with a minor in math. I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers in many areas of study.
I like to get the kids invovled. We, of course, cover the required instruction but I like to have fun. It is important the kids think they have a say so. I love teaching and working with kids. I believe all children can learn but each in a different way. I am available to help your child find academic success.

My comments on tutoring ACT : Made a 27, and 29 three times on the ACT before starting college.

For math problems, I usually work problems and explain each step, and then have the student attempt to work a similiar one when they feel like they understand the problems. I try to be as helpful as possible while still focusing on the goal of total understanding for the student, as well as the ability to work a similiar problem independently with confidence. For paper writing, I would have the student brainstorm some ideas, and then together we could discuss the pro's and con's of the topic and organization choice, and provide tips on how we could better the assignment. I am willing to give as much or as little help as a parent would prefer, as good grades are one goal but the students mastery of the material is the most important.
I have not tutored publicly before, but have tutored friends children/ family members for standardized tests such as the high school history and englis ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I first discovered my love of teaching when I was in the Boy Scouts teaching younger scouts skills like building a fire or pitching a tent. In high school, I would tutor my classmates in English, a subject in which I have always excelled. I am most interested in studying history and geography, and I long to share what I have learned. I was a student for six months in Germany and the Czech Republic and can speak fluent German. I have experience teaching guitar lessons, and I am patient and understanding.

ACT is one of my top subjects! I have a 36 on the ACT and have experience tutoring it.

Are you struggling with the ACT or SAT, or are you looking for a bit of a boost on your scores to gain an edge with college admissions? In that case, I believe I can help you out: I'm Katarina, a high school senior who scored both a 36 on my ACT and 2400 on my SAT in 2014. Only a handful of students in the entire nation accomplish a perfect score on both tests each year, but practicing specific strategies and keeping in mind certain tips can dramatically improve performance. As a student who recently took these tests, I understand the typical problems high school students encounter on these tests and how to resolve them. Scoring highly on the ACT or SAT doesn't reflect inherent intelligence or makes one a child prodigy: it simply demonstrates how good one is at taking the ACT and SAT, and I believe anyone can do well with the correct approach.

My comments on tutoring ACT : I made a 30+ score on both the Reading and English sections of the ACT.

I have been a volunteer tutor at a local elementary school during their aftercare program. I have also been a mentor through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Memphis to a first grader who had trouble with math (adding,subtracting, and multiplication). I have also helped fellow peers study for tests and the Reading and English sections of the ACT.
I believe a hands on approach to teaching a subject is the best way for a child to succeed. I believe that flashcards as well as games help younger children succeed in mastering a subject. Making a subject fun is key to helping a child tackle a tough subject. For older kids, practice tests are very helpful as well as flashcards. Encouragement and support is also an important part of mastery.

A Little Bit About Me...

In May of 2010, I successfully completed my fourth year of teaching. Each year has been different. The children of today learn in many different ways. There has been a change in learning styles over the course of time. Some children may learn through hands on activities and modeling, while others learn through lecture. Regardless of the learning style, I have learned that it is my job to make learning relevant and meaningful to students.
The role of the teacher is to be a facilitator. The teacher facilitates the students in making personal decisions as well as participates in discussions that affect society. The teacher also helps build a foundation in subject matter to help develop a lifelong appreciation and understanding of the world through different disciplines.

Education has played an important role in my life and success since my elementary school years, and I feel its value is immeasurable. In 2007, I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in biology, with a minor in chemistry. Currently, I am a nursing student, as my ultimate goal is to be a pediatric nurse practitioner.

More About This Tutor...

As a Special Educator I live off believing that all students can learn something. All students can achieve at something. I believe in support from others because I am no miracle worker, but I believe in support, repetion and dedication in learning. I am a hands on teacher. I use many approaches that will support the learning style of the student. I relate a lot of " real world" senarios to my teaching to help correlate the lesson. I also believe that if a student has the heart to achieve as I have to give him what he needs to achieve, then both of us are going to meet our goal of achievement.
I am currently a Special Education teacher with Memphis City Schools. I have taught Pre-K through High School for over 15 years. I have tutored disabled and non-disabled students in Elementary, Middle and High schools. My goal is to work with the student gradually building from current learn ... read more
