Carefully selected, highly-credentialed ACT Reading tutors in McKinney, TX
"Why? What’s going on? What’s our problem and how can we solve it together? They need to know you’ll care before they’ll answer. Many times the reason for an outburst in class or confusion about an assignment is an underlying need for help or an issue. This may be the minor need of extra practice on two digit multiplying, or the “why” of fractions. As a teacher, wife, sister, friend, aunt, daughter, and student, I have learned that you need to back up and figure out the cause of the problem."

" I have always been studious, and I have always wanted to learn about a wide variety of subjects. I have taken every type of class imaginable because I never could decide what subject I loved more. That's why it took me so long to decide on a major! In all my difficult classes where teacher instruction has fallen short, I've just taught the material to myself from the text. I love problem-solving and figuring out complex theories and ideas."

"As a certified teacher, I have had the opportunity to take part in a wide variety of enlightening professional development seminars, such as Garland Writes!, which focused on best practices in teaching writing, the UTD AP English Institute, and the St. Mark’s Institute.
However, the years of experience and certificates do not truly define my tutoring experience. The most important aspect of tutoring is the relationship between student and teacher, which I believe should be built on sincerity and respect."

"Is your student stressing about any of these events looming just around the corner?

I feel it's my duty to pass on what I've learned throughout my high school and college experiences. I'm well-versed writing personal essays, taking admissions tests, critically analyzing literature, and everything in between.

"I'm determined to see the education level of this country rise. As a dancer, I was often put in charge of younger kids and helped them learn routines, especially ones that were struggling. I had a knack for helping kids remember their moves through catchphrases and alternate explanations of how the movement was supposed to work. I carried that over to my tutoring, where I would aid friends by coming up with mnemonic devices and extended metaphors that allowed them to understand the concepts better. Also, the opportunity to work with students one-on-one really gave me insight into their learning style, and I could adapt my teaching to ...

"It was at that point that I knew I had not only the ability to help students understand, but also an obligation to share the wonderful experiences and knowledge that my journeys around the world have imparted on me. As a recent graduate of Southwestern University, where I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and Communication Studies, I feel as if I'm seeing the world with new eyes; eyes unfazed by the haze of too many sleepless nights spent studying. I find learning opportunities everywhere I go and relish the chance to have an intelligent conversation with whomever crosses my path. My teaching style is undoubtedly influenced by my ...

"From a young age I have tutored friends and family members in a variety of subjects at many different grade levels. Although I have consistently helped others throughout the learning process, I too have been on the other side of the tutoring spectrum. I have been very blessed in having influential people in my life that have helped me throughout my own educational experiences. Because of this, I realize the impact and value one-on-one teaching can have in education."

"My first opportunity to tutor other students came in high school when I was a volunteer for the school Math Club and I loved it immediately! Since then I have tutored students ranging from middle school to adults in subjects such as math, English, science, and test prep and the satisfaction gained from seeing students progress from confusion to understanding never gets old. In my free time, I like to think of myself as an explorer who loves to travel, hike, camp, or simply wander around an unexplored neighborhood. I also enjoy playing basketball, swimming, and cooking (and eating of course!).." ...

"That is why, as a tutor, I believe that it is crucial to understand instead of memorize. Although I am well-versed in many subjects, my favorite to teach are math and Mandarin. As a native Chinese speaker, I really enjoy sharing my talent with others. In addition, I am also experienced in SAT/ACT/STAAR/ISEE test prep as well as principal economics."

"Seeing the light bulb turn on in their eyes, always makes me feel excited and happy that they have fully grasped a concept. Whether it's working with my peers at TCU who are also pursuing a Business or Spanish degree, or working with someone younger, that look in someone's eyes is ageless. The subjects I tutor range from all elementary subjects to ACT prep, to AP prep, to college essays. I specialize in liberal arts topics including Spanish, reading, writing, history and math up until the high school level. At a tutoring session I always try to keep the student entertained and make sure they feel comfortable, so they're in an environment ...
