TEAS and HESI Expert, ACT, SAT, and much more!

I am a full time Tutor with 11 years experience. I specialize in standardized exams, particularly the TEAS, HESI, ACT, SAT, and GED. I have been working with standardized secondary exams, math, and science for the last 8 years- classroom teaching, curriculum writing, and tutoring (both in person and online). I absolutely love working with this material, and helping individual students find their best strategies and achieve their goal score! I begin with standardized testing strategies. I assure my students have a solid understanding of the way their test is written, the types of questions to expect in each section, and the proper approach for each question. I then work to build my students knowledge base in the necessary skill areas. I focus on both the stronger subject areas, and the weaker. I ensure my students not only know what to expect as they progress through their test ... read more

Give Your Dreams A New Beginning!

I have a calm, amiable personality and achieve results by being enthusiastic and building up students so that they feel good about their math abilities. I like to explain math concepts via visual aids (graphs, pictures, charts, diagrams) and an extensive number of examples.
I taught advanced high school mathematics at McKinney Christian Academy for five years (2005 - 2010). This involved the following classes: AP Calculus AB, Honors PreCalculus, and Advanced Algebra II. In addition, I have tutored students for the PSAT Math, ACT Math, SAT Math, SAT-1 Math, and SAT-2 Math.

I have a few years experience teaching in the Air Force. I also have an extensive background in engineering, statistics and math in general. While in the Air Force I was an instructor for the Space Operations School in Colorado Springs. This gave me the opportunity to go through many classes on how to instruct various types of students. Even though I taught adults, I am also very comfortable teaching children. I also have been an engineer most of my career so I have experience with real world math problems. I have never tutored as a job but did take and pass all the testing required to become a high school and middle school math teacher in Texas (TExES).
I have five children of my own and spend many hours helping them with school work. I have found that patience and repetition in many cases are very good paths to success. I do not believe in becoming frustrated with childre ... read more

Learning is more accessible, more meaningful, and more memorable when it happens in a fun, but results-driven environment. I believe that the content has to be relevant to the student to be meaningful, and I use my diverse work experience to demonstrate how and why new learning is important and to answer the ever-present question of "When will I ever use this stuff?"
A high school math, English, web-design, and business educator since 2002, Jeff has been selected by Frisco ISD to tutor high school students who are homebound due to illness or injury. He enjoys this one-on-one approach to education and shares his love of learning and achievement with all of his students and tutoring clients. Previously, Jeff was a corporate trainer and program facilitator as well as an adventure travel instructor specializing in rock climbing, inline skating, and camping. Jeff declined an invitat ... read more

Experience consist of 5 years as a Para Educator. I have been teaching high school level subjects to young adults with many different levels of mental and physical disabilities. I am also state certified for the position and have been certified in CPR and First Aid. During these five years I have tutored students in mathematics, science, English, arts, history and various life skills.
I enjoy working with children and being able to help them grow into well rounded adults. I am very patient and understanding. I realize that each child is special and all children are capable of learning. Each child learns in their own way and teaching not only takes patience, but it also takes creativity. If given the time and creative expression children will find and achieve success. Seeing a child's face light up because they achieve success makes all the time and effort worth it. Children are ou ... read more

My whole life I have had a love of education. I look forward to sharing this love with students and teaching them that learning need not be something to be feared. I am a very adaptable teacher who can easily modify my teaching to work for a variety of learners. My style uses a constructivist approach in which all students are viewed as unique individuals and are expected to take an active role in their education. Most importantly to me, I embrace mistakes and help my students to understand that mistakes as simply part of the learning process and not a dead end. I truly believe that I can make a positive difference in these students' lives through tutoring and I look forward to the challenge.
Despite a demanding, accelerated academic schedule, during my three years at a competitive private college I voluntarily tutored underprivileged elementary students. In earning my BA in Soci ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with all students and have tutored students for the past 4 years in the AVID program. Additionally, I tutored and served as a writing to coach to high-school and college students during my off time. My focus is helping students understand how to aptly address course assignments, how to structure and assemble essays, term papers and research papers and how to decipher themes and motifs in classic readings for assigned papers. My method is to guide students to becoming skilled writers through the editing process and use of an explanatory narrative. I believe the best learning is taught in a manner that encourages and supports students to find their own way as life-long learners.
For almost twenty years, I’ve worked with students as a K-12 as a tutor, coordinator, counselor, and advocate in a variety of educational environments. I am committed to the belief that achiev ... read more
