Having scored a 1370 on the SAT after three attempts, I can safely say that I wish I knew then what I know now about taking the SAT. Moreso than any other exam, the SAT can be approached with a very methodical strategy that will maximize the student's time and minimize the number of points lost. As far as the contents of the exam go, they are not much more difficult than the typical FCAT. Many students simply freeze or forget important information when faced with the stresses that a big, important exam like the SAT has in store. With the proper tutelage, however, a student will be well prepared to receive this exam and succeed! Greetings one and all! My name is Tristan, and I am a recent graduate of the University of Florida's College of Engineering as of August 2012. I graduated with a Bachelor of Sciences degree in Nuclear Engineering and a cumulative GPA of 3.25 (and I will tell

I decided to become a teacher in 7th grade when two teachers in a time of family crisis turned my life around and turned me on to learning. I majored in elementary education, earned a dual master's degree in culturally disadvantaged education and reading through a federal fellowship. I have pursued multiple post masters course in a wide variety of institutions. I have literally taught every level from nursery school to graduate school. I spent 16 years in private schools as a teacher, reading clinician, assistant principal and principal. I have spent 24 years as a public school teacher and curriculum coordinator. I have taught hospital/homebound for five years, worked as a reading clinician and academic tutor for six years, and have privately tutored multiple times in my career.

I am a graduate of North Georgia with a passion for language and literature. I have worked on projects that have been, or will soon be, published. I am a talented writer, and love helping others with their writing endeavors. I am able to read, understand, and transcribe French, however, I am not a very good "speaker". I have worked with different educational levels, from elementary to college, in assistance of writing assignments, as well as math, science, social sciences, and history. I have even assisted with graduate research papers, from an Oxford professor, and my students received top scores. I want to first stress that I am only an assistant on their learning journey, not the protagonist. I will not do your child's work for them, but I will make sure that they complete their assignment, and we, as a team, complete it to the best extent possible. I know that a lot of children and

I have been working as a private tutor from my home or student's home for 3 years. I have tutored elementary through college level students. I am able to teach a variety of subjects, however my forte is English and Composition. I have the honor of being a published author. I am an expert in MLA or APA style writing. I have also tutored in College Algebra, elementary math, Biology, and Reading. I speak conversational French, and am able to teach up to the secondary level. It is my belief that everyone is able to learn, and what produces that ability is having support. So many instructors give up on those not favored as "prized" students, and in turn, these students just slide through. I know it takes time and effort to get some students enthused about education, and I make it my goal to help them with this.

Learning is a lifelong enjoyable journey. I diligently work to make learning fun and interesting. A sense of humor, nurturing, hands-on experiences and my strong knowledge base is used to encourage and support my student(s) into developing his/her (their) positive self esteem and working up to their academic potential. I have taught in three different states: Massachusetts, Connecticut and Colorado. The levels have been 3rd grade through 12th. Each state and each class added to my comprehension of the variety of needs and learning abilities of each student. Thus, allowing me to use a variety of ways to instruct and have the students not only learn but completely understand what is being taught.

I believe that any student can learn given the right environment, the appropriate tools, and a patient and caring teacher. I enjoy working with students of every age, from struggling college students to young children having difficulties with basic Math and English. There is nothing more satisfying for me as a teacher than to open the window of understanding for the students I work with, and to see the light of comprehension come into his or her eyes with every “ah-ha!” moment. I believe that successful learning is a two way process that encompasses not only what I am able to teach my students, but what I can learn from them as well to help me become a better teacher. In 1976 I left the blue-collar world and returned to college, strongly motivated to learn. In 1980 I acquired a BA in Geography (3.81 gpa in my major, 3.53 overall), with a minor degree in Environmental Geology (3.6 gpa). D

Not only do I love to teach and help students learn, I also enjoy helping students develop an appreciation for learning in general. The most gratifying experience while teaching is the look on a student's face, after hours of confusion, after they reach an understanding of the concept. The environment that I believe works the best is one that allows the student to have fun while learning; which creates a more positive environment for future learning. I remember my experiences with teachers that not only instructed lessons, but also brought fun and enjoyment to the experience. I try to follow in their footsteps, and lead other students to a similar appreciation. During the completion of my Bachelor's degree in Psychology I had the opportunity to work with the Maricopa College District, as well as the No Child Left Behind Program.

I am very interactive with the student and I want them to see me as a friend. I for one do not like to be told what to do and how to do it, that never helps me learn. It is better when you feel you are working towards a common goal with your superior. I want my student to feel free to talk to me about anything, and to enjoy learning the material he or she is struggling with. You simply do not learn as much when you dread coming into the classroom everyday. I like to make games out of the work. Whether that has to do with an intensive game to really build the learning level, or a game just to release some tension and build my students confidence. As a college athlete I always have been encouraged to help out the community. Because of my high level of math, I knew that I could really help others learn the material in a fun way. Math is something that has always been easy to me, and I

When I begin tutoring a new student, my first objective is for us to get to know each other. The student will not be able to receive very much from me until he/she is comfortable with me. Once they feel that I care, they open up and the learning really begins! When I really get a feel for the personality and whatever particular challenges are unique for this person in this class, I am able to determine the best way to communicate the subject and improve the skills. I like to think outside the box to find the best way for that student to have that "got it" moment! Literally all my life I have been asked by students, parents and teachers to help students who were having trouble. I get tremendous fulfillment from watching someone who has been frustrated finally "get it."
