ACT is one of my top subjects! ACT has overtaken SAT as the top choice of students applying to college. I teach all four of the subjects, with emphasis on the right way to approach multiple-choice questions and the best use of time.

I am patient and supportive, but persistent. Each student's mind works differently, and I work tirelessly to find the best way to present material to every child or adult. I have a varied background, not just in the academic world, and I feel I can find the right way to relate to each individual. I try to be somewhat informal, but I recognize the times when a little extra emphasis on the need to really concentrate is necessary.
I have logged over 5,000 hours of tutoring in the last four years. I have worked for a game company, which taught me how to approach tests as a contest between student and test-maker, and my extensive background as a writer gives me practical experience when it comes to teaching English and related subjects. My competence in math has always been obvious, as my 796 score (maximum 800) on the math SAT will attest. But most important: I love to teach any child ... read more

Being as a teaching assistant, lab instructor is an important training in my graduate study until I obtained PhD of Chemistry. After graduation, I tutored undergraduate students for their chemistry classes. Tutoring is an efficient way to improve students' understanding and mastering chemistry knowledge. Tutoring is not just a repeat what have been taught in lecture, it is to improve capability of solving problems. Solving one problem would result in knowing how to solve all similar problems. This is the purpose of my tutoring wants to realize and this is the key factor that makes students success in their future academic careers.
My philosophy of tutoring is (1) Tutoring with a method of enlightenment: a chemistry textbook is full of symbols, equations, concepts etc. (2) Open two-way communication: this is based on a mutual understanding and respect for all students irrespective o ... read more

I teach to a mastery learning approach appropriate for language instruction. I present the material first in accordance with the text presentation, and then drill and quiz to ascertain the level of comprehension over the next several days. I ask all students to answer sample questions, and I am looking to see who does not understand what, and why. When deficiencies are discovered, I represent material in as many different ways as are ultimately needed to ensure comprehension and success.

As a progressive educator, I believe in attainment of the standard benchmarks by individualized methods, utilitizng a spectrum of teaching modalities. My personal affect is cheerful and professional, although I believe that learning should be fun, and with me, it is.
Prior to my second career in the field of service to at-risk senior citizens, I taught English for four years at Westport High School. Following the reduction in force made necessary by budgetary constraints, I taught for ten years at the Crystal Springs School in Assonet, MA as a Special Needs teacher. While rewarding, I missed the challenge of more literary pursuits and began teaching evening classes at a local communuity-based organization. My tutoring experience had its inception in that setting.

I enjoy seeing the "A ha" moment that students get when a concept becomes clear to them. I am not a big fan of memorization and have encouraged students to not only understand the concepts, but to also link the concepts together into a big picture understanding. Also, I believe that with hard work everyone can achieve their goals and that everyone has their own pace and capacity for learning. The trick is to motivate them into thinking that they could always do more, which they usually can.

My core teaching belief is that anyone is capable of learning any subject. For advanced topics, it is necessary for students to master the fundamentals first and this is the primary job for most teachers. Frankly, mastering the fundamentals can be boring, but I strive to teach in a way that constantly engages the student. I am patient and positively support students as they work through material. I also incorporate a historical perspective on topics because it puts them into a human framework which is often more intuitive. I enjoy working with students of all ages and think that a good education can start at any time. It gives a person the tools to succeed as an individual and make positive changes in the world.

Overseeing recent high school graduates’ transformation into college students has been a gratifying experience. I take a hands-on approach using in-depth discussion, analysis, in-class exercises, peer review, and revision. As a teacher my role is both to instruct about accepted concepts and methods for reading and writing and to act as a resource to help students improve their skills. Prompting them with questions and encouraging them to keep refining their work, I witness their realization that what I am asking them to do is not impossible. I give my students the tools they will need to succeed throughout school and beyond.

If a child, an adult or a teenager doesn't like you, it will be difficult (impossible?) to have him (her) learn from you. Unless you are very strong and I am "nice": I don't like to be rude. So I would need to be appreciated in order to teach. That is why ... read more
