Carefully selected, highly-credentialed Reading tutors in Atlanta, GA
" Children and adults, alike, tend to learn best by “doing.” It’s also important to me—and to the individual that I’m tutoring-- that I teach each child according to his/her learning mode. For example, in order for my visual learner to further grasp the lesson that I’m teaching, I may use a graphic organizer. During a tutoring session, I have the opportunity to mentor my student as well as teach the academic skills that he needs. As I get to know my students, I often bring their interests into the lessons. I have also been given the pleasure of witnessing the progress of these students more quickly than I would in a classroom of 25 students." ...

" I especially like to tutor students in college admissions and scholarship essay writing. As an undergraduate, I was the recipient of 12 scholarships, including the National Beta Club Scholarship and the prestigious Presidential Scholarship at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I have helped a number of students procure scholarship funds, and I take great pride in helping others to achieve their dreams of pursuing college degrees!

"The key ingredient to my tutoring approach is relatability, as I have discovered that the best way to help someone learn is to make the material relevant to their personal, unique lives. Tutoring is much more than simply teaching someone in order for them to pass a test; tutoring is about helping someone develop confidence in their ability to do well in addition to providing them with the skills they need to succeed. I am a very passionate, patient individual who can work well with a variety of age groups, from elementary school kids to non-traditional college students who have chosen to return to school.." ...

"No matter what subject a student is interested in, the ability to write with clarity and logic is absolutely central to success. Each student also learns differently, and with the right teacher a student can learn in a manner that addresses individual needs. In addition to effective writing, I believe that developing individualized study skills, learning how to manage time and material, and maintaining an organized system of study is vital to succeeding in school. Even if a student is enthusiastic about his or her World History class, without the necessary study skills and an organized backpack of materials, things can quickly fall ...

" Language learning is all about immersion; I try to give my students as much listening and conversation practice as possible. I also believe that learning should be fun, and that students remember exercises they enjoy. With this in mind I try to incorporate engaging literature, games, videos, and pictures into every lesson. Hopefully at the end of their sessions, students will feel the same passion I do for the subject!
I have tutored students as young as ten and as old as seventy in Spanish, Hausa, Japanese, ESL, and GED."
