Many licensing exams involve math.
Placement exams, including Accuplacer.
I tutor math - elementary past high school level, as well as for licensing, placement, graduate admission exams, and more. I would love to learn more about your need. I teach math plainly and simply. I explain things in a way that is easy to understand and remember. The key to my success as a tutor is in how quickly I can assess where you are, connect to that, and work from there. Clients make quick success with me because I teach how to work independently, saving you time and money. I realize the answer to any one problem is not important in the end. What IS important is getting you to a place where you can think through, and do the math on your own. This approach helps you make greater progress overall and saves you time and money. Resu

Kathy L - East Hartford, CT 06108 (10.6 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $43.00/hr.
My primary activities during my professional career have been teaching and counseling. My experience covers clients across the lifespan: from infants in early care and education through grand- parents in post-secondary education and college courses. I have taught and tutored the basics: reading, writing, composition, comprehension, fluency, basic mathmatical functions, etc. I have also taught major required and elective courses in the field of Social and Behavioral Sciences. As the "Summary of Experience" paragraph describes, I enjoy teaching people of all ages. I suppose my first love is working with young learners: seeing the "aha!" spark that shines when a child first absorbs a concept or masters a skill that is new, or one which has previously proved difficult. My teaching style could be described as "eclectic", in that I draw from the many resources available to find a "learnin

Lucian S - Coventry, CT 06238 (23.2 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $41.00/hr.
I developed a patient style of simply allowing a student to set his own pace yet make sure he lives up to his own promises. Making lasting commetments allowes the student to take controle of his own improvement, yet allows me to see what he need direction in. In showing the student alternative practices, he will see the benifit in changing his ways for the better. I am seeking a degree in Finance and Actuarial Sciences from the University of Connecticut. I achived a high level of proficiency in math from a very young age and finish Advanced Calc 3 and a half years ago. I have tutored a student for his entire second year of high school in all subjects with noticable GPA improvements.

Brendan D - Prospect, CT 06712 (26.5 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $40.00/hr.
One constant holds between the middle-schoolers and Ivy League engineering students that I have tutored: simplicity works. My style is to eliminate any strange concepts or terminology and instead focus in on the basic principles underlying an idea. After the student understands the basic principle, he or she begins to apply it through examples, problem sets, or writing. As students become more confident, they will begin to understand the nuances of whatever it is they seek to learn. With a basic theoretical knowledge re-enforced by practice, students will be able to apply their new skills long after their tests and quizzes are done with. As an Ivy League Physics-turned-Social Sciences major, I have mastered two distinct skill-sets: one mathematical and one analytical. My mathematical background includes single and multivariable calculus as well as differential equations. I have tutored m

Diana L - Naugatuck, CT 06770 (27.5 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $44.50/hr.
While teaching, I mastered effective instructional, communication and planning and assessment and skills. I have used varied differentiated teaching techniques to meet the needs and learning styles of my students. I have tailored my teaching strategies to encourage students to interpret, analyze and predict information and to express themselves orally and in written forms. I have worked closely with parents, guidance counselors, attendance teachers and administrators to provide academic intervention to "at risk" students. I participate in and have facilitated ongoing professional development to continue my professional growth and to keep my practices current.

Melissa G - Naugatuck, CT 06770 (28.3 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I love working with both children and adults and enjoy both the similarities and differences in teaching style required for each. My previous experiences, both in academic and creative fields, have afforded me a great level of patience and understanding regarding the needs of those I teach. I believe in thinking outside the box and, as a result, have found that anyone can learn a discipline if their instructor approaches the subject from many different angles. My biggest reason for teaching is a genuine love for my students and the immense pride I feel when I know I have made a difference in their learning experience. For the 2008-09 school year I was employed in the Connecticut school system in the special education department. There I developed experience tutoring special education students in grades K-6 and worked closely with a myriad of personalities, both adults and children.

Pamela B - Naugatuck, CT 06770 (28.5 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $44.00/hr.
I had once been told by a very seasoned teacher that "If you can not go through the front door find an open window." She opened my eyes to creative, and interesting ways to stimulate young minds. I love helping children learn, and finding their open window. A great teacher can incorporate different styles of teaching to adapt to a child's learning ability. As a hardworking individual with excellent communication skills, I would like to explore the possibility of putting my talents and experience to help children. Currently I have a successful and satisfying career with Artwell Gallery, a nonprofit community based art gallery. However I am looking forward to embarking on a new career. I hold a BA in Radio, Television, and Film from Rowan University. For three years I worked in a pre-school teaching Art to students aged three to five.

Frank S - North Haven, CT 06473 (30.1 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $44.00/hr.
I believe any student is capable of learning any subject when they are taught in a gentle and patient manner. It is important to help the student gain confidence with the subject and to build his self-esteem. As the student increases his knowledge and problem-solving abilities his confidence and curiosity will also increase. Learning will become a lifetime pursuit. I have four semesters of calculus, numerous chemistry, physics, engineering, computer science, statistics, finance, accounting, marketing, management, and liberal arts courses. I also have a temporary CT teaching certificate for secondary education math.

Randolph S - Eastford, CT 06242 (32.7 mi) - Entrance Exams Tutor - $42.00/hr.
I feel children are very self-aware and are very vulnerable to positive and negative feedback. Therefore, no matter how little progress is made, praise them. If no progerss is made or if an issue needs to re-addressed, praise them..."That was great, but let's try it this way!" I feel that you are positive, smiling, and they believe that you believe in them, 9 out of 10 kids will follow you! I was more of an instructor than a teacher. I was a day camp counselor at Solway House parent/child resort in Saugerties N.Y. I instructed kids how to swim, dive, play various sports and gave dancing lessons to the guests. As a high school student I tutored 7th and 8th graders in an after school community center. I was one of a few staff at the University of Connecticut to instruct graduates and staff in the use of the various electronic facilites available to them.
