hands on -
17 years certified teaching experience. opened up my own school a private home school. A fire destroyed my school in August I decided not to rebuild the school because my youngest son Gavin was saying that he wanted to attend public school so that he could play sports and qualify for possibly a scholarship or work study program to help with his college fees.

Certified teacher specializing in ACT

I believe every student can learn. The key is to find your student's strengths and inspire her or his internal motivation. One on one teaching makes a significant difference even in the most reluctant learners. For those who are motivated to earn their best score, I routinely see more than 3 point gains in Reading, Writing/English and Science on the ACT. Because of the family resemblance of standardized tests, you will see not only ACT score increases, but improved English and Math grades as well. While my specialty is Verbal and Science, I have a number of incredible strategies for the math section that can help your student answer 6-12 more questions correctly.
I am a certified teacher, currently practicing in Covington, La. I've taught ACT and SAT prep for 7 years, along with the essential skills intervention required to raise scores. My teaching experience includes: 10 years cl ... read more

Read More About Lillian W...

I think the most useful tutor emphasizes critical thinking. I have noticed that many students focus on memorization instead of really understanding the processes behind science, math, and foreign languages. I try to focus on how and why things are, rather than just the fact that they are. I believe that this approach provides students with a deep understanding of the material and an ability to problem-solve on their own. They can then develop better comprehension, and tend to be more interested in learning.
I graduated with my undergraduate degree in marine biology in 2002 and then worked as a research biologist for two and a half years before returning to school to pursue my master’s degree. I believe that my hands-on scientific experiences combined with my academic background allow me to convey difficult concepts to students. As a researcher and as a student, I have had to put to ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I take great pride in being a part of this program and the opportunity it brings, and feel my strengths and talents can be well utilized in this stimulating career.

Having had a well-rounded academic background and having tutored elementary, middle school, and college level math and science, I feel confident that I am prepared to tutor students at any grade level or skill.
