Carefully selected, highly-credentialed SAT Verbal tutors in Scottsdale, AZ
" We have all struggled in a subject at some point in our lives, and I hate to see students get flustered or embarrassed when they don't understand a concept. I'm upbeat and enjoy sharing my enthusiasm for what I have learned with the people that I meet. When I'm not working or in school, I enjoy reading, listening to music, or eating copious amounts of food.."

"
I know standardized tests inside and out, especially the LSAT. I also know how to help you get that same level of skill in those tests- they are all puzzles that can be solved with the right tools.
Teaching is a lot of fun to me, and I love the aha! moment when I can help someone figure out a subject or problem that they have struggled with.
In my spare time (what I can find of it) I enjoy cooking, and I make a mean jambalaya. ."

"I've enjoyed helping and tutoring others since I was young -- probably influenced by my family of teachers. I find there is an important creative aspect to most subjects (especially math) that often gets overlooked, and I try to incorporate this into my tutoring because it really seems to help people connect with the ideas. In my free time I enjoy making things and exploring what others have made, whether in music, programming, writing, games, or art.."

"Throughout my years at the Think Tank I became a CRLA Level 3 Certified Tutor, mentoring younger tutors and leading training sessions. During the spring of 2011, I studied abroad in Alcalá de Henares, Spain, a city in the municipality of Madrid. There I lived with a host family and was fully enriched by the beautifully rich Spanish culture; nothing could have been better for my acquisition skills than such a true immersion experience, and I advocate such programs for students who wish to learn foreign languages. My true passion is writing - I recently completed a poetry thesis for the Honors College of the University of Arizona. I believe ...

" My plans are to continue in the field of education one day as a professor of either history or education.
With my vast classroom experience I am very good at assessing student needs and responding accordingly. I believe each person learns in a unique style, and it is the responsibility of the teacher/tutor to identify that style and make accommodations in his/her instructional approach. It is this individualized approach that makes tutoring so fun and exciting.."

"However, since my time as a tutor, I have also been a teaching assistant at BYU for the past couple of semesters. As a TA, I grade plenty of papers and actually help students to improve their writing skills, so I am very confident in tutoring students in anything related to writing (it's right up my alley, too, since I'm an English major!). In addition, I have listed other subjects that I feel confident tutoring because of my knowledge of and experience with those subjects. Nevertheless, in reality, my knowledge of material is not what I will focus upon during tutoring sessions; rather, I prefer to help students gain skills that will help them ...

" I continued teaching my peers until I graduated, but just because I was heading to college didn't mean that I stopped tutoring. I continued to tutor students one-on-one in math and science throughout my undergraduate years and had my first classroom teaching experience in my second year when I lead an Intensive IB Revision Course Session for a group of students at the University of Pennsylvania. I worked with the Ivy League Tutoring Network in NYC during my three month break and tutored for the SAT, ACT, SAT II Subjects, and AP classes (Chemistry, Biology, U.S. History)." ...

" No two pupils are the same and therefore, cannot be tutored with the same methods. While there are solid basics that need to be adhered to (hard work, focus, preparation), being able to recognize strengths and areas for improvement in study and learning habits have been vital in my success as a tutor. My free time is spent hanging out with my family that includes my wife and four children from ages 7 years to 4 months. Needless to say, my gift for versatility is often used at home in playing referee and Dad for the four best kids anyone could ask for! I also enjoy watching college football, boxing, and hiking the Superstition Mountains.." ...

"I really enjoy tutoring one on one and engaging students in active learning throughout every minute they spend with me. My focus is on teaching students how to learn and how to incorporate active thinking into every part of their life so that it becomes a habit. I hope I can inspire you to see how refreshing it can be to learn something new! I look forward to hearing from you and doing some thinking together! ."
