My comments on tutoring ACT : I am a College Professor (History, Philosophy, Ethics, English) with many years of tutoring experience. I have taught several test-preparation courses. I have helped many students to achieve well on standardized tests. I am patient and understanding. I have a math/science background and have been teaching basic skills (reading, writing, oral communication) for 30 years.

In my experience, the majority of students are highly motivated. This is, for me, the key to success. However, very often, students require assistance with a wide range of ‘remediation’ in many of life’s basic competencies: a skill set that includes such issues as time management, test taking, study habits, and, sometimes, acculturation. My teaching methodology follows these simple steps: Step 1: Motivation Step 2: Definition & Understanding of terms Step 3: Explanation, exploration, discussion, debate Step 4: Questions & Answers Step 5: Practice: Time & Effort Step 6: Demonstration (or proof) I absolutely believe that motivation is required for learning. I have found that students become more motivated to learn when they understand how they will profit from the experience. I teach ‘communication’ all the time, regardless of the subject matter. Throughout the course of ... read more

ACT is one of my top subjects!

***I am an expert when it comes to SAT, ACT, and Praxis exams!*** My name is Aalok and I am a full time professional tutor. I can help students who are struggling, students who are looking to excel, and everyone else in between. I strive for complete satisfaction and never charge for a session unless you are completely satisfied. "I wish I had called you sooner." That's what I hear most often from clients/students/parents. I won't go so far as to say I make tutoring fun, but I make sure it's engaging and meaningful. Tutoring isn't just memorization and repetitive practice drills; that's passive and wastes time. I've even worked with other tutors and educators to hone their skills and improve their teaching styles. I have over six years of experience working as a full time professional tutor. I have taught/tutored over 1400 students. I've taught over 600 students in a classr ... read more

Ivy League Graduate and TEFL Certified English Tutor

In my ESL classes, I try to stress communication and emphasize the skills that will help the students use the language independently rather than lecture them. I will use a similar approach with you, but will be flexible enough to adapt to your needs. I will have challenging assessments for my students to ensure they understand the concepts covered in the class and provide insightful feedback so that they can continue to improve.
Hello there! My name is Nikhil and I would love to be your English tutor and help you improve your confidence with the language. I have several years of teaching experience, which have helped me develop the important skills of patience, communication, creativity, and being organized which are important to being an effective teacher.

During my tenure in the classroom, I justified that all students can learn and perform above average if given the appropriate environment, and the teacher is in the best position to enact it. I strongly express my passion for what I do, and this has a ripple effect on the students, who in return express passion for their class. I use positive approach to teaching, guaranteeing all my students that they cannot fail if we all stick to the plan (and I mean it). In addition, speaking word of motivation and encouragement help students to get up when you are not there. In summary, I don’t quit on any student, and no one that steps into my class or tutoring session leaves the same (my math/science jokes bring them back).
My curiosity to understand systems and solve complex problems drove me to major in Computer & Information Science and minor in Mathematics. Due to my approach to presenti ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Having taught adults with no background in English, to 8th grade girls that had many different teachers, I have realized that every student learns in a unique way. Some people need to see the material, others need to write it out for themselves, and some need to hear the material in order to retain it. I usually try several different approaches until I see a positive response from the student. I also believe that you don’t know something until you can teach it to someone else; I encourage my students to re-explain things to me in their own words allowing me to be sure they’ve understood the lesson. It took me years to come into my academic stride, so I have the patience to deal with children that are not performing as would be expected, because some kids need a little more time and attention than some of their peers.
Through several different institutions I have had the opportunity ... read more

I have taught Mathematics/Statistics at all levels (B.S. and M.S) at both US and Indian Universities for over 3 decades. Because of my passion for teaching, I have taught Mathematics and Statistics in George Washington University, National Institute of Health and University of Virginia, while being a Team Leader/Vice President in Food and Drug Administion and INC. Research, respectively. I have also remotely guided a couple of Senior High School Students in their AP Mathematics courses and project work in Statistics.
I am a firm believer in teaching the basic concepts in Mathematics and Statistics in a constructive way so that the students would comprehend/understand the problem and work on their own with some guidance. When I was a graduate student, I was a very popular teaching assistant.

I value critical thinking and the inherent potential of all to succeed. I believe in accessing the individual learning style of each student before developing lesson plans.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have struggle and work hard to achieve my goals and was always hungry for knowledge. I came to this country in search of a better future, but without hard work this was not possible. Because English was not my main language I learned from the roots, by writing and learning in extensive works of research. I have accomplished most of my dreams and I think that excellence is my motivation. I earned an AA in Education, a BA in Geography and currently I am working on my MA in Education of Earth Science concentration. For the last three years I have worked with students from K to 12 in all subjects areas. I think that additional to my tutoring experience I have acquired more experience working as a substitute teacher for the City of New York and New Jersey. In the last and current semester I have worked in several High Schools in New York City as a student teacher.
