Award-Winning ACT Tutors in Chapel Hill, NC

...in. I am not the kind of tutor who will just give you the answer to the problem and move on. My goal is to develop the student's understanding to the point where they will not need to ask me for help because I will have taught them well enough to use their knowledge in a logical way to solve problems. I have extensive experience in all of the subjects listed in my profile, and...

...level. I'm a big fan of designed independent learning, and my experience has taught me that "studying harder" is not always the answer. With each student, I focus first on organization: what we need to cover and a timeline to get to their goal. I'm a physician assistant student at Duke and hope to become a clinic director some day. In spare time outside of school , I write, play music, and kick it with...

...write a personal recipe for your success. I have worked with students for the last ten years helping them to gain confidence in their written expression. Although writing is my strong suit, I can also help with critical reading and comprehension, as well as speaking skills. Whether you are a newcomer to the English Language or a seasoned veteran, I can help you communicate with ease. Join me as we create a program suited to...

...Supply Chain and Logistics. Throughout my undergrad career, I spent a lot of time mentoring freshmen as a teacher's assistant for an intro course, and tutoring peers within my major. I enjoy education, and love spreading my knowledge by using the best suited strategy for the student. While I tutor all levels of math, my favorite subjects are SAT & ACT level mathematics. For fun, I enjoy all sports, running, playing Xbox, and using math...

...Literature and Language Arts classroom in West Seattle. I graduated from Duke in May, and am looking for part time work before beginning graduate school at the University of Washington. I love reading, writing and working with kids. I taught Kindergarten in Kolkata, India, worked in a 2nd grade classroom in Durham and now work with middle schoolers full time. I am excited to get to know students and help them reach their full potential!

...Teach for America and taught in New Orleans for six years. In addition to being a trivia nut, I'm also a big foodie (love cooking and eating!), and a total sports junkie (GO HAWKS!). As for tutoring, I specialize in high school math, and I also have experience teaching engineering. While I love math, I understand that it can be daunting sometimes, and I work with my students at their pace to meet them where...

...for ten years. I enjoy being with students and helping them become more successful. As a former special education teacher, I am well-versed in the ins and outs of that world, and I can help any parent struggling to make any sense of it. (Trust me, I can talk for hours about that stuff!) The most important attributes that I have in regards to tutoring is enormous patience and a great deal of tenacity!... I believe in a student-centered approach. This is probably influenced by being a special education teacher for many years. I enjoy working one on one with students, figuring out what they need to be successful and working toward that goal. I believe in allowing students a certain level of choice, which can be important to many students. I've always been complimented on my patience and tenacity with students who are experiencing difficulties.

...really enjoy math and science and I am eager to help other students in related subjects. In my free time, I like to run, play basketball, spend time at the shore, and cook. While I was a student at Duke, I worked as a student manager for the Women's Basketball team. I also completed a couple years of research in the Human Movement Performance Lab where I analyzed patient's walking patterns both pre- and post-...

...to supplement my stipend with some tutoring jobs. I take my role as an educator very seriously, committing a great deal of time and energy to my courses at the University, and drawing upon my experience as both a high school and middle school teacher in the past. I have always enjoyed working with kids in recreational (summer camp) and educational capacities, and hope to do the same for many years to come!... I firmly believe in what I'll (admittedly somewhat tritely) call "novel repetitions." The key to knowledge and skill acquisition is familiarity - if a student can employ their knowledge and skills in a variety of different contexts, then they have actually learned it. Thus, I try my best to provide contexts and problems that require students to take a basic skill, formula, etc., and use it in as many different ways as possible. I also try my best to scaffold, building prior skills back into lessons catering to more advanced ones, so that the basics (and, ultimately, the more advanced skills, as well) become second-nature through sheer repetition.

...I would grant as much as my schedule allowed. My professional experience with tutoring only began in college, when I was hired as a teaching assistant for the Duke TIP summer program. After graduation, I worked for an international test prep company for two years. In addition to teaching classes on the SAT, ACT, and SAT II Subject Tests, I also provided private tutoring services in high school-level math, statistics, and physics.... Motivation, not talent, is the greatest factor to success. I try to promote a friendlier learning environment so that learning feels like less of a chore. By identifying the individual strengths and preferences of each student, I create a custom-tailored teaching approach which maximizes results while minimizing perceived effort.
