SAT - Verbal Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Placitas, NM

I believe that people learn the best when they understand the meaning and logic behind what they are learning. When a student can see a pattern develop they develop an understanding that can be universally applied to many different areas of study and life circumstances. Learning is different then memorizing. It is especially important to understand the concepts behind the subject matter when planning continue in a similar learning subject. I am a licensed Social worker with tutoring experience in and out of college. I have the most experience in tutoring Algebra and other math. I have a student now that I am helping with AP English who has dyslexia. I enjoy watching her grammar skills increase and her overall understanding of the concepts develop. I am great with any age individual and have the patience it takes to work with any kind of student (special needs included).

Perfect score on the verbal section of the SAT. Able to help others boost their vocabulary and reading comprehension skills for success on the test. I have a flexible teaching style that aims to address the individual learning styles of my students. I believe in helping students reach the point where they can use the skills that I am teaching them on their own rather than relying on my services. I believe, as well, that a serious focus on learning should be tempered by a sense of fun - by making learning enjoyable. I have over five years of experience in teaching and one-on-one tutoring with students ranging from elementary-school children to undergraduates. I worked as a peer tutor at the Colorado College Writing Center throughout my undergraduate education, helping students with all stages of the writing process. I went on to serve as an AmeriCorps VISTA at an educational nonprofit, wh

I received a 34 on the MCAT, 12 verbal, 11 physical, and 11 biological. I received my degree from St. John's College in Santa Fe and my med school hard science prerequisites from UNM with a 3.8 GPA. I can help you with chemistry, organic chemistry, basic physics, anatomy and physiology, basic biology, critical reading, test taking, and study strategies. Contact me at ting.says(at)gmail.com with subject line "tutoring" to discuss what subjects or tests you'd like to be tutored on. I prefer my students to take a free assessment, like a practice MCAT, then send me the results so that I can gauge where you are and what you need to work on. From there we'll work on test taking strategies, study strategies, and whatever specific knowledge gaps you have.

Students need to be equipped with the research skills and ability to fetter out information from a number of different sources. The information must be timely, accurate, credible, relevant, etc. The days of going to a library and pulling volumes of texts to research substantive information has changed. Now, most students understand what a Boolean search is. However, many don’t know much beyond the internet. This is both an imperative skill as a successful student, and as a potential graduate seeking employment. During the years I have been an instructor and tutor, I have contributed to my students’ confidence and motivation through my interactive and engaging lessons on becoming a successful student. I conduct my lessons with high energy, engaging students to participate and contribute to the discussion. I balance excellent student interaction with effective classroom management. I fe

I earned my bachelor of arts degree in English with a minor in secondary education and professional writing certification from the University of Nevada Las Vegas in 2007. I taught 10th grade English and Literary Strategies II, which demonstrates my proficiency in the language arts. English 10 focuses on students' skills in literary analysis and writing analytical essays whereas Literary Strategies II helped struggling readers with synthesis, metacognition, and specific reading strategies. Teaching is not only my career, it's my life. I strongly believe in Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences which states that there are eight different pathways to learning; as a result, I rely on kinesthetic, spatial, and musical intelligences to present new information. I make my expectations clear to my students, and my students clearly state their expectations of me. I advocate and

I have worked with students of all levels and educational needs. With my 4 children and 4 grandchildren, I have elementary, middle school and high school experience. As a teacher at a Job Corps for 7 years, I had the experience of working with non-traditional students. At Job Corps, I taught reading, developed writing skills/creative writing curriculum, and tutored students in math, health and GED prep. As a self-employed consultant for the past 6 years, I have assisted adults in various higher education programs and computer software training. My teaching style is very flexible. I believe that a learning/tutoring program must be structured to the individual student's needs and build upon his/her strengths. Both the student and the tutor must work as a team to determine the goals of the program, set the work guidelines, establish milestones, and structure the style of the sessions.

I desire to see every student succeed in life. Succeeding in school is a big part of learning to become successful in your life. Not so much the individual grades that a student gets, but learning responsibility, perseverance, goal-setting, and striving to do your best. Many students feel like failures through no fault of their own. I love to help students realize success and begin to believe in themselves. I believe that one person can make a difference in a child’s life, and I want to be that person. Each student is an individual, so my style of teaching would depend on your child and the topic. I have about 10 years teaching experience in both the middle school and high school level. Some of the subjects I have taught include American History, World History, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, and Earth Science. For the last 6 years I have been teaching primarily mathemati

One of the most rewarding aspects about guiding students is finding the way they channel their thoughts and using it to their advantage. As a result of being ADHD, I am sympathetic to the struggles many students have to concentrate and as a result I am a tenacious but patient teacher, always determined to make the lesson fun and interesting as well as educational. I choose to live by example, just as my favorite teachers and professors did with me. I give children respect, boost their confidence and make them love what they are doing. Even though I have found my approach to be successful, I am always looking for new ways to engage the mind of my student. As a tutor, I provide goals for the children. I find that once the students have goals, they are much more excited about reaching them, and do reach them with my help. Learning is fun and exciting, just as it should be! Thanks to a f

Teaching is one of my great passions. I thoroughly enjoy overcoming the initial hurdles as the children are hesitant to receive me as a teacher, and to see them open up to me. It's also thrilling to see them blossom as they absorb new information and incorporate it. I'm certainly an advocate of fostering intelligence at a young age. When children begin to learn, they begin to build self-esteem, which they will carry with them indefinitely. In life, nobody can rob one of his or her education. Thanks to my education in psychology at Brown University, I have gleaned much wisdom about the workings of human behavior as well as the human psyche. I have been able to observe applications of what I've learned throughout my daily life. This is especially helpful in teaching; I can recognize the various personalities and the accompanying learning styles in the students, which enable me to be

I taught English as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Korea, then received a Master's Degree in teaching and worked in Mexico, Japan, Iran, and the United States, teaching and also coordinating a bilingual program for refugees with the Tacoma Public Schools. I then became a Foreign Service Officer with the Department of State, serving on five continents and three islands. I speak Japanese, Korean, French, Spanish, and Dutch, and have extensive experience in writing and editing a variety of reports and related documents. I work to identify each student's strengths and to build upon these, while also noting areas for improvement and tailoring lessons and assignments designed to address these areas. Because people learn in several different ways, I strive to individualize instructional approaches based on my perception of what works best for each student. I am unfailingly patient and polite. I
