PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Key Largo, FL

I am a native speaker of English born and raised in the US. I've been teaching/tutoring for over 20 years in Europe, Asia and the US both in the corporate and private setting. I specialize in working with people who need help with their conversation or writing skills. This could be from writing a paper or submitting a college application to doing a business presentation at work. I also work extensively with students preparing for the TOEFL, ACT, and SAT. Part of the key to being successful in work or at school in English is understanding how we organize information when we speak and write. It is very different than in the rest of the world! I also love to help people just get more confident with speaking English in everyday situations. I myself have lived in other countries and learned that language so I understand how challenging it can be! My teaching style is very interactive and stu

My style tends to range based on who I am trying to teach, and I suppose is most accurately labeled as adaptive. I understand that different people learn things in different ways, and so I try to accommodate that with my teaching. For instance if I found that a student learns better visually then I would attempt to use visual cues and examples in lesson plans to make the material as easy to understand as possible. I also believe in keeping a very loose and pleasant atmosphere, and making sure that everyone feels comfortable and safe, which I believe also assists in the learning process. My first major mentoring/teaching experience occurred in college when I began leading study groups and eventually organizing tutoring sessions with a number of my fellow English, Calculus, and Physics students. I then obtained a position as a youth counselor with the YMCA and quickly moved up t

I recently graduated from Florida International University. I have been working as a tutor in mathematics for various levels, particularly college, since I started my mathematics degree program. Ever since I have been working as a tutor, at least part-time, to help those who have problems in mathematics succeed. Every time a student improves it is truly satisfying and I consider it an achievement. I am passionate about mathematics and I enjoy teaching it. Various students have different styles of learning and it is only through individual exposure that I am able to find the right learning technique for any give student. Patient and faith in the students, however, are the most determining factors in teaching them.

As a student at the University of Miami, I studied anthropology and busines administration. I graduated from the University with my BA. I have over 8 years of administrative and financial experience working in the County government and at the University of Miami. My passion to work with the youth led me to make a career change. I am currently teaching 4th and 5th grade mathematics at a school that services underpriveledged youth. I have over 13 years of experience tutoring students ranging from elementary students to adult & college students in various mathematics subjects and also in reading, grammar and writing. As a teacher of elementary mathematics, I understand how students of similar age can work on completely different levels. I believe to maximize comprehension, it is my duty to meet each student on his or her level and work from there. I have found that students learn diff

When you are in charge of a group, you need to make sure that group overall has to succeed. While you may want to have everyone in the group to get A’s on all of their assignments, as a teacher, you need to be practical. Like a workshop in a factory or the support staff in a law firm, a classroom is filled with individuals who have different strengths and weaknesses. These differences may show that certain students learn and absorb knowledge in different ways. I think my ability to use a student’s strengths to succeed may ensure a student to strive for high academic achievement. This ability to see a person’s certain talents may also have this student succeed in learning a subject. One example I can recall is when I was in the Navy, I had to train a new shipmate, fresh out of boot camp, to learn the ship’s engineering systems.

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference to a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. I have been working with children for a total of six years. I love seeing children get excited about learning and have the i got it moment. i have been a classroom teacher for 3 years teaching 1,3 and 4 grade both using traditional and montessori methods.

I believe the classroom should be a creative, encouraging, and open environment for all children to feel like they’re at “home away from home.” I want to create an atmosphere of self expression, exploration, and diversity. In my opinion, in each classroom, a variety of fun and exciting techniques should be used to start children’s creative energy flowing. For example, I think that there are many learning possibilities alive in the classroom such as team-work, organization, crafting, language, and more. Some children are going through difficult situations in school, at home, and within themselves. I want each child to feel comfortable and safe, knowing they’re really being heard and assist parents with being better able to learn how to effectively react to their children’s behavior by explaining to them how they feel and inculcating their children with values, principles and by teaching t

The most important element of my teaching style is patience. I consistently receive positive feedback from my students about my patience. I think it is important that learning not be fear-based. That is, students should not feel compelled to learn material because they are afraid of disappointing their teachers or families. Instead, a supportive learning environment lends itself to creating a safe place for students to make mistakes without feeling embarrassed. In this way, students can learn through trial and error. I have a Bachelor's in Psychology, and I will complete a Master in Public Health in May. I have been tutoring for the past five years. I worked for The Princeton Review as a classroom teacher and as a private tutor. I have worked as a private tutor for the past two years. I can teach SAT, SSAT, and GRE preparation.

Students who struggle in the classroom have often lost confidence in their ability to learn. Such students often complain that they “hate math” or “hate reading." My overarching goal as a tutor is to overcome this frustration and thereby improve the scholastic performance of my students. Parents are often amazed at the complete reversal of a student’s attitude, once their frustrations are addressed in a one-on-one environment. I begin each new tutoring relationship with an initial assessment of a student's deficiencies and a discussion of their goals. Next, I design a program of study tailored to the student’s needs. In the long term, I keep students engaged by relating the material to their unique interests and challenging them with short, competitive exercises. To date, I have never failed to develop a rapport with each student, build up their confidence in their own abilities, and the

I have alwasy enjoyed the one-on-one tutoring experience. I have found memories of volunteering as a peer tutor while in high school.At the college level,within study groups for various courses I consistently find myself as the facilitator. The opportunity to be involved in the learning process is extremely rewarding personally. My love for the learning process is what drove me to pursue my AA in elementary education. However, now while pursuing my bachelor degree I have changed my major to psychology. The human cognitive process regarding memory and recall is quite fascinating. Advancements within this field will benefit countless students in comprehending and retaining material. Helping others "get it". I love the challenge of turning a frustrated student into one to hungers and proactively seeks out knowledge. My approach to teaching is very student-oriented. I impress on the student

Everyone has a preferred learning style and I believe to effectively assist students it is important to recognize which style works best for them individually. I try to provide hypothetical examples that they will find interesting, based on their own interests or personality. I enjoy being able to help students realize and reach their full potential. I recognize the importance of education, have worked with students from all walks of life, and feel passionate toward helping them succeed. Graduating from the University of Miami with my M.S. in Education, in which I studied Sport Administration, I had the opportunity to study a variety of subjects which can be applicable to various industries in a business sense, while this degree was a study of how these concepts apply specifically to Athletics. I have studied Marketing in addition to Legal Studies in order to obtain my B.S. degree.

I have always had a love for working with children and for learning. For the last five years I have worked as a teacher with students ranging from grade 6 through grade 12. My last three years were at a small school that caters to students with special needs (i.e., ADD, ADHD, unbalanced academic skills, minor behavioral problems). Recently, I also had the opportunity to tutor an 8th grade boy in weekly 1-2 hour sessions, and, in just one semester, saw drastic improvements in all of his grades and in his attitude toward school and his parents. In every teaching capacity I have looked to work within a small environment, be it an independent school or a community enrichment program, that would allow and encourage me to assess students individual learning styles and to teach toward that, providing lots of one-on-one time. These environments allowed me to see the impact of my work as chi

I do believe all students can learn. My style of teaching incorporates the reading strategies from the C.R.I.S.S. program which materializes what the students are reading and learning through the use of creatve methods. I do not like the students to just give me a one-page summary of what they have learned, that is the old-fashioned way. I want to know they learned something, and I like to use some of the following methods: drawing scenes, creating poems to match characters, explaining, creating pattern puzzles, and communicating their ideas and interpretations in creative ways that engage them in learning. In elementary school when I tutored others younger than I in the Future Educators Club, I knew my call was teaching. I really began my career in 1999, as an afterschool tutor at a local middle school. There I was able to help students in social studies, math, writing, and my passion w
