ACT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Milford, CA

My teaching style is compassionate and understanding. I am patient with students that need extra help understanding math and algebra basic principles and love to see a student succeed. I can easily explain the math processes to a variety of students with differing skill sets. I am able to teach the student that does not know how to perform simple equations and also teach the advanced student preparing for upper division testing. The success of my students is most important to me and I strive to maintain a motivational, encouraging, and enjoyable learning environment at all times. Math can be fun if correctly taught and I try to create in all of my students a new love for the subject. I taught junior and senior high school for two years from 1966 to 1968 in Bay City, Michigan. Additionally, I taught the SAT Prep in Math for one year at Tarrant Community College in Fort Worth, TX. I w

I have experience tutoring anything from phonics to college level writing. I taught preschool for a year and a half at the Lion and Lamb Christian Preschool in Reno, NV. I have also tutored at the UNR Writing Center (when it still existed) during the Fall semester of '08. Since October 2008 I have tutored at the Reno Huntington Learning Center where I teach phonics all the way up to SAT and ACT Verbal test prep. While at UNR I took an upper division English Class entitled "How to Tutor an English Writer." I also have a minor of Spanish from UNR. I am by no means fluent in the language but can read and understand it fairly well. I am comfortable tutoring anything below advanced high school Spanish. I think that kids light up life and make it interesting. That's why I love working with them. I love the intellectual stimulation of the older age groups and the academic challenge th

Currently, I am a senior at UNR nearing the completion of a nutrition-dietetics major and psychology minor. From a young age, I was driven to exceed academically, which have positively influenced my success in the classroom. Upon completing a rigorous high school schedule(Scholar's Program:detailed list of required AP/honors classes and greater than a 3.5 GPA), I was well prepared for college. I began tutoring in the 6th grade, focusing primarily on math related concepts. Throughout the years, I have continued to instruct various other grade levels in multiple subjects. Personally, I believe my two strongest subjects are math and writing. I thoroughly enjoy teaching, especially the satisfaction of watching a student that was previously struggling start to succeed as a result of your time and instruction. I am an extrovert, personable, intelligent, and am not limited to one specific

I have a friendly, encouraging approach with my students; I like them to feel comfortable working with me, but I also let them know that I have high expectations and that our tutoring sessions are not social time. My goal is to get students to understand the material and feel comfortable discussing and applying it, so my tutoring sessions are often very conversational. I provide a lot of feedback and will have students practice difficult concepts multiple times before moving on because I believe that practice is a key component to learning. I like to get to know my students and pinpoint their academic strengths and weaknesses so that together we can build on those things. I recently graduated from University of Nevada, Reno summa cum laude. I was also my high school valedictorian. I have always excelled in school because I love learning and have great organization and study skills. Alm

I began tutoring my freshman year of college. I participated in a Sparks High School program designed to assist and motivate at risk students to achieve their educational goals. Tutoring continued through my own educational career, as I have spent countless hours assisting fellow peers and younger students with their school work. Now as a young professional, I would like to continue to assist today’s youth. My Law degree, along with my Bachelor of Science and Associate of Arts degrees in Business Management, shows my diverse expertise in both language arts and math. In addition, I highly enjoy science and have always excelled in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Most of my life has been focused on obtaining my education and improving my educational goals. I have a deep desire to assist others in reaching their full potential. I know that everyone learns in different ways, so my teac

I believe all students can achieve success given the right learning experience and motivation. I appreciate that there are several methods through which students learn, and I believe the key to effective teaching is to find the right method for each student. There are many ways to explain any subject. If one explanation does not make sense, it is usually possible to find another way to say, write, draw or demonstrate the same idea. I am very patient and considerate of students’ needs, and I try to be as sensitive as possible to the learning style of each student. My goal is to provide the most educational experience possible by finding the learning style that works best for each student and by allowing them to learn through discovery. I have earned a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in mining engineering which have given me a deep understanding in many areas of math, science
