I have been an experienced academic and test prep tutor for over a decade. I began tutoring when I was in high school and continued tutoring when I was a college student.

I took prep classes for the SAT but took this test mainly as an indicator of where i needed to focus for the real SAT. However, the tests are very similar and because of my expertise on the SATs I feel beyond confident in both my ability to teach the concepts and improve scores. I have helped my classmates and have had one official student as of this summer. However, I have learned how to explain concepts so that students dont just memorize, they will gain a thought process and applicable knowledge that will enable them to solve even the most complex problems. Having this mentality of preparation and success will being them to reach their goals. Teaching new concepts, practice applying the new material, review, and more practice of the material to solidify the concepts.

PSAT math and general test taking strategies Results don't lie. Please take a look at the reviews left for me here -- https://www.wyzant.com/Tutors/mathzap -- to see if I would be a good fit for you. You can message me here or there to confirm that is really me. I'd love to hear from you! My goal is to connect with the student at THEIR level. We start by going over the basics of problem solving and work from there to foster independent thinking. I use varied approaches when the student is "stuck." I am friendly, patient and very persistent. I can assist with classwork and homework, and will tailor tutoring sessions to your needs. I will assign supplemental work to advance in the subject area as needed or desired. My ultimate goal - to work myself out of a job!

I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from the State University of New York at SUNY New Paltz and I have matriculated into the Master of Arts in Biology program at the same university. As a result of my many research and laboratory reports I have excellent writing and typing skills and have completed many writing assignments including numerous essays in various fields as a requirement of completing my Bachelor of Science degree. Because I have coursework at the graduate level in the field of biology, I have taught at the college level and will continue to do so next semester, so I have roughly 1 year of experience teaching students. I have several years experience working with children and adults in the education field. The students I have taught at the college level ranged from late teens to early 30s. As I have worked with such a wide range of ages I am familiar with

I am a very interactive, do-it-yourself kind of educator. There is nothing more liberating and inspiring than understanding and recognizing the limitlessness of one's own ability. With just the right push from me, our children can reach unbeleivably great heights! I do not have a lot of experience in the teaching field but I am a natural born teacher. I have been a mentor to many people in my life; friends, co-workers, even family members would say the same. If given the opportunity I will be able to grow with and enjoy the success of all my students. We will indulge in the passion of education!

I started my career as a 5th grade teacher and became very interested in Special Ed. In 1973 I joined the West Park Union Free School a newly legislated Special Ed. school as a teacher/ administrator. I moved to Educational administration in 1986. I returned to the classroom in 1990. I retired from public education in 2003 and became a teacher for Our Lady of Lourdes HS. I created a special program there concentrating on learning disabilities, study skills and other problem areas. I am now again retired. I have taught on every level from preschool to college. I am proficient in English, Social Studies, Earth Science, writing and Special Studies. I teach to the individual, searching out the students learning style and model my teaching efforts based on my assessment. I have spent my career working with those that have had the greatest difficulty learning. I have also tutored and taught th

I enjoy helping students understand the principles they are dealing with, rather than focusing on helping them simply "get the answer" to the problem at hand. My goal is for them to be able to generalize the concept and apply it in different contexts. To develop interest, I seek to discuss related information or similar problems as much as possible. For Physics in particular, this approach is key to providing a sound foundation for future learning. Most of my career has been spent at IBM, where I built on my Physics background for a broad range of opportunities. I am now seeking to move into a teaching career and plan to start a Masters in Teaching in the Fall of 2009. During my educational development, I taught for three years in undergraduate and graduate school as part of the duties of a teaching Assistant. I have tutored secondary school students for the last 5 years in Math, P

As a college and high school English instructor, I have had the opportunity to teach and tutor students on many different levels. I have worked with those in need of remediation as well as students who are are in honors or advanced placement classes. I have successfully tutored several students who have attended ivy league and top tier schools, including Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of Pennsylvania. I believe my experience as a professional writer working for nationally circulated magazines enhances my teaching skills. My first biography will be published this summer by ABC-Clio/Greenwood Press. My teaching philosophy revolves around the notion that students need respect, encouragement, and guidance to succeed in all of their academic endeavors. I believe the best way to inspire students is by conveying our own passion for the subject through out attitude of

I have a very patient approach to teaching others and always take special care to cater to different learning styles. I can adjust my tutoring style under almost any circumstances to accommodate each and every student based on their strengths and interests. I believe learning can be fun and interesting so long as the instructor is enthusiastic and holds the student's full attention for the duration of the instructional session. My overall style is based on the repetition and review of topics while implementing simplistic and relevant examples for a better understanding of concepts. After recently enrolling in the MBA Program at SUNY New Paltz, I have begun to realize that I will never be satisfied when it comes to learning. I have always sought to broaden my horizons through continuing education. In addition to my schooling, I am employed full time as the Administrative Manager for a Non

Upon my decision to return to college and obtain my BS degree, it was discovered that I possessed an uncanny, natural talent involving all aspects of the studies surrounding English. Reading, comprehension, symbolism, poetry, creative writing, poise, maturitym ,ect. After that placement exam, it was decided that I did not have to take any English courses, or, I would take more advanced courses. I did choose the latter. Throughout the last 10 years, I have helped my husband, brother, all of my children, etc. I have tutored them on how to write a well developed paper on their topic of choice, and have it read showing the expertise of the writer. I possess the same talents when it comes to proper grammar. I also teach Catholisim to the 8th grade once per week for 2 hours. I prepare them for the sacrament of confirmation. That is very challenging. I do enjoy helping anyone write a wel

I am a euthastic teacher, I love to teach and learn and my taching style incorporates Gardner's multiple intelligences and Bloom's Taxomomy. I have also taken several Special Education classes, so my leason are adaptive and flexible, using different medium to convey information. Every student learns differently and I try to do my best to learn and apply my education to help in the learning process. I am very enegeric in the classroom, and use a storytelling approach with metaphors and modern euphuisms to keep my students attention. I use tactial and kinestics to introduce active learning instead of passive learning. I am an active learning and I hope to create active learning students.

In addition to teaching and providing learning opportunities for all ages, from preschool through adults (including those with special needs), in a variety of settings, I am the author of 30 nonfiction books, including those on how to study and take tests, how to participate in class, and how to achieve life-goals step by step. I work as an editor and have assisted writers at various stages in successfully producing their own work. As a specialist in public communications, I am experienced in finding ways to make productive connections with others. This ability carries over into my new career as a counselor, where I practice skills that enhance my success in helping others to achieve their goals, including academic success. In my experience, the approach that works best with all ages is to form a cooperative bond to make the effort more a “we” project than a “you-must-do-this” one. We

Flexibility is the key to my methodology as I understand that not all of us learn in the same ways and that to achieve the desired result, identifying the students optimal learning style leads to continued learning success. I believe that everyone has the capacity to learn any given task as long as there is interest and proper guidance. I strive to provide that interest and once developed, the guidance to successful learning. As a Certified Public Accounting professional with over 10 years experience including 4 years of auditing and 6 years of forensic consulting services I have demonstrated a superior academic and professional commitment to learning. I have developed extensive test taking study processes which when applied, result in superior results. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and consulting reports, along with essays in man
