I believe every student can learn. The key is to find your student's strengths and inspire her or his internal motivation. One on one teaching makes a significant difference even in the most reluctant learners. For those who are motivated to earn their best score, I routinely see more than 3 point gains in Reading, Writing/English and Science on the ACT. Because of the family resemblance of standardized tests, you will see not only ACT score increases, but improved English and Math grades as well. While my specialty is Verbal and Science, I have a number of incredible strategies for the math section that can help your student answer 6-12 more questions correctly. I am a certified teacher, currently practicing in Covington, La. I've taught ACT and SAT prep for 7 years, along with the essential skills intervention required to raise scores. My teaching experience includes: 10 years classroo

My offerings are in writing and Speech Communication.

Graduation led to a year long internship in the Presbyterian ministry. After ordination, I spent 12 years as a minister, including three as a chaplain in the National Guard, including Iraq. Upon return, I set aside Army and Church to spend two years on Lookout Mountain letting a stress fracture heal and finishing a novel, begun in 2000.

In other words, I combine "popular, upbeat, and friendly"

I love teaching and with my skills,I put my 9th and 10th graders to write the SAT/ACT,and with the amount of self study techniques I impose,most of them do very well.My goals and objectives are to keep the students focused on the content understanding.This process reflects in their inquisitiveness and participation when I am teaching.Their test scores reflects the same trend, very good and excellent grades comes from good teaching.I get to know my students one on one, and this makes them feel important and unique. I have blended engineering with education in Science and Math, and with my collegiate experience in both fields,coupled with my computer science background and bilingual skills allows me to make teaching fun.I have taken courses that include,instructional methods and strategies at all high education levels,advanced research methods in self study and 150-credit hrs of 7years in

With 2 BS degrees, Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, I have been exposed to all of the most important fundamental disciplines that children need to be successful today. Math and science are my strong points, and I have much experience as a peer tutor throughout my collegiate and high school studies. I feel very comfortable teaching physics, chemistry, calculus and math in general. I have also volunteered my time to assist elementary school students with the language arts: i.e. sentence structure, spelling, grammar, etc. In general, I like to assist the student visually and with real-life examples of how subjects such as chemistry, physics, and math can be applied to everyday life. My goal is to make learning fun not by lecturing, but encouraging the student to get involved and ask questions. Situations do arise when it is beneficial to lecture and let the student "soak up" knowled

Like a doctor, I prescribe a learning path and adjust the strategies as needed for individual students' needs. I began working in Tangipahoa Parish February of 1983.

I think the most useful tutor emphasizes critical thinking. I have noticed that many students focus on memorization instead of really understanding the processes behind science, math, and foreign languages. I try to focus on how and why things are, rather than just the fact that they are. I believe that this approach provides students with a deep understanding of the material and an ability to problem-solve on their own. They can then develop better comprehension, and tend to be more interested in learning. I graduated with my undergraduate degree in marine biology in 2002 and then worked as a research biologist for two and a half years before returning to school to pursue my master’s degree. I believe that my hands-on scientific experiences combined with my academic background allow me to convey difficult concepts to students. As a researcher and as a student, I have had to put together
