Carefully selected, highly-credentialed Social studies tutors in Oro Valley, AZ
"As I worked with him throughout the semester, I was able to raise his grade from an "F" to a "B" by the end of the semester. During that time, I really focused on making sure my student understood the basics and fundamental processes before slowly moving onto more challenging processes so that each step could build off each other. This is how I learned best in school and I believe it is a great way to teach students to help them understand the concepts much more clearly. When I'm not tutoring, I have a variety of interests and hobbies, such as sports, running, food, and travel. Currently, I also work as a scribe for physicians ...

" In high school, I volunteered for three years as a tutor as part of an after-school tutoring service provided by students, for students. I tutored a variety of academic subjects, including English and History. I also developed extensive experience in test prep for the PSAT, SAT and the AP exams. As a tutor, I constantly try different hooks that might pique the interest of the student. For example, some students are interested in real-life applications of the subject; some like clever metaphors and mental pictures; some are very motivated by extrinsic rewards, like a good test score, while others do better when they can forget the test and ...

"Despite my strong math and science background, my first love is writing. I have helped students develop their writing skills and improve their reading comprehension as a Kaplan instructor.

I enjoy making abstract, complicated concepts accessible to students—I love the moment when a student grasps a new idea. I'm good at listening to students and tailoring my teaching to individual learning styles." ...

I enjoyed communicating the importance of critical thinking and clear argumentative writing.
