SAT - Verbal Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Yadkinville, NC

I graduated from Ronald Reagan High School with a 4.6 GPA in the second graduating class ('08), then went on the NC State University to study Engineering, where I jumped in between various Engineering programs for three years before simply deciding to take a break and truly figure out what I want to study. While this may deter several people from choosing me, I know that if you met me and/or any of my teachers from any grade level, they/I could certainly set the record straight, as I am quite a smart person, I have simply struggled with getting my life into an appropriate schedule. This is because between high school, my extra curriculars (captain of the drumline for three years and a captain of the lacrosse team for three years), and my parents, my life was completely structured for me, so what little free time I had was easy to budget, this is not the case in high school. I am a ve

I can help students prepare for the SAT verbal test. I take a holistic approach and match students' needs with my teaching methods. I begin with a free assessment during which we determine together how often and what kind if tutoring is needed. We also decide where and when tutoring will take place based on your needs and budget. I ask that parents or clients bring any previous testing information or IEP if one is in place. If needed or possible, I consult with current teachers or other educators about the student's needs and begin to develop a customized learning plan. During the second session, I bring ideas about a learning plan and we collaborate on the learning plan that will meet your or the student's needs. Sessions involve active learning and customized to fit each student's interests, experiences, activity level, abilities, and needs. Data is taken frequently to monitor pr

I help guide the student along, having them discover much of the information in a trial and error fashion. I tend to use the questions they are struggling with the most, making similar examples, then walking them through these problems and breaking down the problems until the student understands the how the process works. I have been tutoring for over seven years, starting with my peers in tenth grade. I have tutored a wide range of subjects, from Geometry through Calculus III, from general computer knowledge through utilizing the advanced functions of Microsoft Access. I have tutored people ranging from my peers to people three times my age, to as young as third graders. My motto has evolved into "Helping those who feel they can not be helped"

I am patient, but have high expectations. I think most people don't really know what they are capable of achieving. After graduating from an Ivy League college, I obtained my Master's Degree in Computer Science while working as a professional software developer. I also taught AP Computer Science for 2 years at an elite private school. I am an excellent standardized test taker (SAT, ACT, Praxis) and can share many test taking tips and strategies that have helped students improve their scores. I managed software development activities and projects at various software companies. I an excellent at explaining difficult concepts and helping people make sense of things.

As seen from above, I have valid tutoring experience in both middle grades and HS. I was in the student teaching program at Wake Forest and upon graduation, I was a substitute teacher in the Winston-Salem, Forsyth County School system. I also participated in the Junior Achievement program in the Piedmont NC region for over 5 years. I am currently a tutor with the "No Child Left Behind Program." I am a disciplinarian. I have an excellent ability to gain a students attention, keep it and the results of my students have been well above average. I have a knack to bring into the classroom, outside events (latest ball games, Olympics, etc.) to establish a 'bond' between myself and the student. This allows me to gain their confidence as well as not create a bored atmosphere. I find this very important, especially with the more difficult students.

I have been a classroom teacher for the past four years in both elementary and middle school. Both of my parents are educators, so I spent a great deal of time tutoring and volunteering in schools prior to my teaching career. I also have a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership from Florida Atlantic University. My strengths are in the areas of language arts, reading, and social sciences. I like to observe children to determine what learning styles best fit their personalities and strengths. I believe in the capabilities of all children, when their teachers find the proper ways to motivate and support their learning. I find that building a trusting relationship in which students feel comfortable asking questions and thinking critically are best for making gains.

I have noticed over the years that many students can identify their specific needs when it comes to learning. I see myself as a facilitator in helping students to learn while keeping in mind the different learning styles: visual, aural, kinesthetic. I combine discipline with a sense of humor (which I think is essential especially when students become anxious about a new class or a subject in which they have difficulty). I act as a guide as well as provider of information to students. At the same time, I try my best to listen to or watch the body language of all of my students in order to best accommodate their needs. I have taught French at the middle and high school levels for ten years. During this time I had the experience of teaching 7th through 12th grade French courses. Most recently, I taught ESL to Korean and Chinese students in order to support their 9th and 10th grade English

The only teaching experience I have is the student teaching I did at Andrews High School in High Point in 1993 as part of the teaching program at UNC-Greensboro. For several months I taught American Literature and Composition. I have also conducted training classes on new procedures in previous jobs. My goal is to engage each and every student in the classroom in some aspect of the lesson being conducted. Perhaps I can relate the lesson to experiences in their own lives, or I can tap into their knowledge of, or interest in, a particular subject. Students will not be interested in any lesson if the teacher does not care if they are interested. Students should not be dull-eyed receivers of information that a teacher is megaphoning over their heads: they should be participators in all aspects of the learning process.

This month I graduated from Southeastern University magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and a minor in history. Throughout my years at Southeastern, I developed a love for teaching and tutoring that grew with every experience. In October of 2008, I began volunteering as a tutor at my school, tutoring college students in English: reading, writing, grammar, literary theory, etc. In January, I was hired as a tutor and began volunteering at the YMCA in Lakeland, FL. Although I have less than a year of experience, I love tutoring and I have received excellent reviews from my students and supervisors alike. I have been given a few opportunities to teach classes at the college level and I have developed a deep passion for teaching. Tutoring is another passion, because I believe some students simply need one-on-one attention that they may not be able to receive in a classro

As a motivated person, I attended UNCG as an undergraduate and graduate student while working full time. I have received both a BS and MS in Biochemistry. During my undergraduate years, I worked as an assistant in multiple lab courses. Throughout graduate school, I have taught Gen. Chem. Lab courses, which are taught in a lecture and lab setting. In both 2008 and 2009, I received awards for Outstanding Teaching based on student evaluations. Throughout my 7 years in the Chemistry Department, I have written multiple research papers and a Master’s level thesis. These numerous papers have helped me to develop my writing style and improve my grammatical skills. I have also privately tutored K-8 students in English, math, and science. I have always believed that a good teacher is the best tool to help students learn. Having personal experience with learning disabilities, I do not think

My teaching style embraces a strength based approach. I start with what my students already know and build from there. I find that positive reinforcement of previously acquired skills encourages further learning. I also use creative everyday examples to help students understand topics better. For example, to help a child enhance their reading and math skills I’ll use a cooking activity. They read the instructions, use the dictionary to look up words they do not understand, and help complete the recipe with measuring, timing, etc. My style allows students to enhance both their knowledge and self-esteem. I began tutoring others in different academic subjects while at Forest Hills High School. During my time at Dartmouth College I assisted others--primarily with writing assistance. Majoring in Education & African-American Studies, I endeavored to help others take pride in learning. I he

It is my pleasure to be of assistance to any student in any subject matter. I love being able to help others in subjects where they are weak. I have a pretty flexible and open schedule and I am readily available to assist your child. I am very understanding, easy to get along with, and persistent when it comes to working with students. I believe that students learn best by doing, therefore there will be a lot of independent thinking and problem solving. My goal is to produce a more confident, educated, and self-sufficient student. As a first generation college student, I know the importance and significance education plays in one's life. I just recently earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science, which has allowed me to utilize those skills and apply them to real-world problems. I am currently pursuing my masters of science in Computer Science as well. Through many research

I believe all students can learn and achieve academic success. As a patient and caring teacher and tutor, I understand that learning is an individual process, so I create lessons, assignments, activities, and environments conducive to each individual student's learning. Furthermore, in addition to teaching students necessary skills to help them achieve academic success, I find it is also important to provide praise and recognition to students for each level of success they acquire. This shows them that they can learn and be successful academically. I earned a BA and MA in English, which provided me the necessary knowledge to teach literature and writing, and have taken a variety of educational courses that have helped me be a successful tutor and teacher. Additionally, I have experience teaching and tutoring students in a variety of settings including high schools, community colleges,

In my educational and professional life, I have focused on achieving excellence in writing. I have taught writing composition, journalism, creative writing, and literature at the college level for five years, and have worked as a writer in the professional world over a decade. In addition to writing, I have worked as a freelance editor and marketing writer now for the past 18 years to supplement my full-time positions. I possess an extensive knowledge of all levels of writing and composition from basic grammar and spelling to constructing the compelling persuasive argument, or formulating the expository essay. I am returning to tutoring now because I want to enter teaching full-time once again. My passion for teaching students has never waned and it is time for me to return to the profession I love most.
