High School Psychology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Las Vegas, NV

Although I have never taken a course in Psychology nor have I tutored the subject, I truly believe I am an expert in Psychology because I am a little bit crazy. :)Just Kidding, Really... I consider myself to be a uniquely seasoned, qualified, and experienced tutor who can adapt to any situation and to any student in order to benefit their education and learning experience. Due to my ability to teach and tutor children and adults of all ages, (in addition to my own near-perfect scores on the SAT & ACT) I was one of the first Instructors hired by PrepExpert, a national company that specializes in preparing students for the SAT, ACT, AP, other exams, and simply for help in regular classes at all levels. This company is so successful and growing so fast because of the unparalleled improvements among students that it recently appeared on ABC's show "Shark Tank," during which Mark Cuban was i

I graduated from Penn State University in the Fall of 2010, earning my B.S. in Science (Life Science Option).

I owned and operated a private school for 4 years and homeschooled 9th graders prior to my experience in public school. I enjoy working with children and have a great rapport with them. I start by identifying a student's strengths and weaknesses. I am able to successfully differentiate instruction and promote self esteem. I feel that all students deserve the opportunity to excel to their fullest potential.

My success as a teacher has come from my belief that young people have a better chance at succeeding when they are empowered with tools and support for their own capacity to learn and grow, rather than simply fed information. Certain qualities are needed in a tutor or teacher to make that possible: compassion, confidence and an ability to create a safe container, one that is nurturing and void of impatience and frustration. These qualities make up the foundation of my teaching style, along with a high-level of work quality and extensive experience teaching children and young people of many different backgrounds and abilities. I have over 13 years experience as a teacher and tutor as well as many years of education and training that include the following: Psychoeducational Therapist at the Children’s Evaluation and Rehabilitation Center in New York (specializing in youth with learning d

I embrace Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences and I enjoy using hands on learning activities. I welcome the opportunity and the challenge of assisting your child in reaching their education goals. I know all students can learn. I worked full time and attended school full time while earning my undergraduate degree in Public Affairs from the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University Purdue. I attended law school for a year at a private methodist college, Ohio Northern. I completed graduate work in Washignton, DC at the US Department of Agriculture Graduate School, at Ball State University, University of Toledo, and IU, Fort Wayne, Indiana. I traveled and settled in Las Vegas earning a teaching certificate in education from Sierra Nevada College, and 48 hours of graduate education classes from the Clark County School District.

I have been surrounded by children my entire life, and I am very confident in my abilities. In my opinion, the most important part of an effective teaching style is developing a connection with the child. When they look forward to seeing you and can tell that you are truly excited to be working with them, only then will you see their full effort being put forth. I make it a point to be outgoing, accessible, and most importantly, confident in their abilities. I believe in the principle of reinforcement through praise, and not only being a mentor/tutor, but also a friend. I am a firm believer in the importance of having children stick to schedules, and I incorporate this everyday into my work. During my five years of undergraduate work, I was very involved in the area of child education and care. I was a volunteer for Big Brothers/Big Sisters in Wisconsin, where I worked on elementary basi

I am a hands on teacher/tutor. I believe in active learning and student participation. I believe all children can learn, and that we all have different learning styles. I enjoy tapping into a specific child's learning style, and teaching him/her strategies to support that learning style. I am flexible and patient, and my years of experience give me the ability to understand each individual student's needs, and align my tutoring to accommodate those needs. I have been a teacher or tutor for over fifteen years. I have taught all grades, K - 12, as well as adults. The majority of my experience has been with students with disabilities, as well as students learning English as a Second Language. My work with adult and high school students has been primarily in English Language Arts, Reading and Writing strategies, and study skills. I have extensive training in teaching English using a

I believe that all children have the ability to succeed. The key is to allow a child to feel empowered to have mastery over the material. Often time teachers explain new material in only one way. As a tutor I strive to find your child's learning style to help them understand the material, and learn good study habits early. I am patient and kind but believe that your child can be challenged to succeed. I also believe that it is important for student and teacher to trust and respect each other. Parents, teachers, tutors, and student are all key to the success of your child! As a student I was an honors student who maintained an "A" average in high school, college, and in my masters program. Before earning a BS in Psychology, I completed two years as an Elementary Education major. Although I decided to focus my career as a therapist, I have utilized this education by becoming both a substit

I have been working with students in one capacity or another for the past 10 years. My most recent involvement has been at the 3rd- 5th level as an interpretive programs specialist at a science center. For the past 3 years, I have been planning and implementing hands-on science curriculum on various topics for students ranging from Pre-K to high school. My teaching certificate covers 7-12 grade English and Psychology. During my student teaching term, I lead taught 10th grade American Literature, American Experience, and 12th grade AP English. Soon after my student teaching term, I was a long term substitute for 9th grade World History. As you can see, my experiences are quite versatile. It doesn't matter as much what I teach, as long as I'm teaching. I have been trained in both inquiry based and formal teaching. I believe in student lead mastery learning. I typically utilize clas

Every child is different, and as a tutor, you have to be able to adapt using positive reinforcement, patience, and lots of concentration. At the same time, developing and understanding a relationship filled with common sense and a kind warming environment that makes our students comfortable with learning something that they may be having complications. You become more of a role model and not just a tutor. If a kid listens, learns, respects and wants to be around you then you know you have done a very good job. Since 1998, I've been volunteering and working with kids of all ages as well as physical/mental complications. I've taught and tutored in many areas that include Spanish, English, math, science, and sports. I love working with people of all ages especially with children. I have great references and lots of experience. I'm young, enthusiastic, organized, and patient. .
