Award-Winning ACT Tutors in St. Louis, MO

...December 12. Since returning home to St. Louis, I have been student teaching in a first grade classroom. I have experience with tutoring at all ages, from first grade to college-level. I tutor a broad range of subjects, but I am most passionate about Math, English, Literature, and Essay Writing. My favorite subject to tutor would be Math. I love seeing students have that "aha!" moment when a math problem finally makes sense. I also...

...great deal of time training and practicing as a member of the Johns Hopkins University Women's Volleyball Team, coaching a competitive club volleyball team for high schoolers in the St. Louis area, and volunteering at a nursing home. As a writer, I have a great deal of experience composing scientific reports, analytical literary analysis, philosophical and political arguments, and creative pieces. Fiction writing is one of my personal passions, and my creative work has been...

...Louis, currently working as a teaching assistant for the Computer Science Department. I tutor for ACT/SAT Science and Math test-prep, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science, Algebra-Calculus 3, and Spanish, as an AP, College-intro, or General level tutor. I particularly enjoy tutoring for Computer Science and Math, in these subjects I immediately see the bigger picture, with the knowledge learned from them being able to apply to other subjects across the board. My teaching style is...

...more years. My primary focus is on eighth grade through junior year math, though I can tutor any age or experience level. I am also great with physics. I like to use a method that focuses on ensuring general understanding. I think it's more important that a student understands how an algorithm or function works, rather than to memorize what the function is. This method works for general schoolwork, standardized test preparation, or even competition-level...

...after my parents pointed out that it would help reinforce my own knowledge. In preparation for the SATs, I attended a private test prep center where I learned specialized strategies for standardized tests. After receiving a perfect score of 800 on the math section of my SATs, I was invited to begin working at a private test prep company. My age and affable nature helped foster the relationship between younger, unruly students and their adult...

...individuals; I found these opportunities both through the organic chemistry department as a weekly tutor, and through the athletic department. Specifically with my Division I cross-country team, I noticed that membership in our program did not require a community service component. I believe it is important to serve other people as an organization, so I helped to reinitiate a tutoring program between our team and a local nearby elementary school. In this program, athletes from...

...helped friends in college with lower level math and all levels of geography. I graduated in 2014 with a Bachelor of Science in Geography, and feel most comfortable tutoring in this subject. I also feel comfortable with ACT prep across all subjects although I do not use a specific strategy as they never worked for me. Also, I am a stickler for proper grammar and spelling, but can also help with essay writing and other...

...where I was Associate Director of Analytics for a digital advertising agency. Math, statistics and economics have always been the subjects I enjoyed learning about the most and in which I excelled. This has led me to a career in the analytics field (though in varying industries) for the past 5 years. Since I'm currently in a program that focuses on mathematics, statistics and computer science, I am especially excited to get to tutor in...

I can promise you my utmost passion and patience in helping you achieve your academic goals. My belief is that every student has the potential to learn, it just takes the right people to help them achieve it.

...and worked in Ecuador on and off since 2012 with stints that include an internship at a Fair Trade cooperative, volunteering on organic livestock and produce farms, and teaching and tutoring rural students. In my free time, I enjoy creative writing, reading historical fiction, riding my bike, and cooking new foods. I’m available for a wide variety of subjects but am most passionate about Spanish and English. My mission as a tutor is to identify...

...I have experience with Catalyst tutoring as well as Varsity, which has given me experience with more methods for approaching both tests. I know both the ACT and the SAT inside and out. I can both help students quickly improve their test scores through simple test-taking tricks, but I can also help them develop their abilities and strengthen their conceptual grasp of a more difficult field. I find I get the strongest improvement in the...

...to philosophy. I never lost my love of math and logic though, and Creighton offered a mathematical logic minor that was perfect for my interests and learning style. This education, combined with my experience as a teacher in Creighton's "Philosophy for Children" program, has helped me to understand that teaching, one-on-one or in a classroom setting, is something that I'm passionate about. I believe that dialogue between mentor and pupil, much in the style of...

...French, Reading, and Writing (including ACT Test Prep). My favorite subjects work on are Essay Editing and Psychology, but any subject can be fun! My tutoring style is best described as a relaxed environment so that the student can learn at a pace that best fits their abilities. I love to work with students on an educational plan so that they can reach goals and mark their progress. I am a firm believer that all...

I'm passionate about teaching students in the areas of reading comprehension, grammar, and English literature. For two semesters I served as instructional associate for a course in introductory grammar at Syracuse University's prestigious S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. It was one of the most rewarding experiences I had as a graduate student. I loved seeing my students make progress and begin enjoying a course that they had been struggling with.

...Throughout my undergraduate studies, I tutored students in my various courses and found I was good at doing so. Upon realizing this, I looked for further opportunities to tutor other students, at which point I came across Varsity Tutors. My strongest subjects include English, ACT, DAT, Algebra,and Biology. I enjoy tutoring these subjects because a lot of progress can be made in them by simply looking at different strategies to approaching the subject material. I...

...completed a math education up to Calculus II (and just started learning Calculus III - therefore all the math is fresh in my head) and can tutor in all the sciences. I have taken multiple AP tests recently during high school. I can aid not only in the content of these tests, but also test taking strategies and tricks that have helped me get high scores on AP tests. Additionally, I can tutor you for...

...Peer Led Team Learning (PLTL). The PLTL philosophy engages students to fully understand the steps in how to critically think of a problem. For me, I recognize that everyone's learning style, pace, and mindset is different. It's incredibly important to me to establish communication with my student(s). In terms of my teaching style, I tend to ask open ended questions both to guide the student and to go beyond the example presented to prepare for...

...in 2014. Since my graduation I have taught high school mathematics in both the public and private school environments, as well as continuing to tutor in my spare time. In the past, I have worked with students in a variety of subjects, most focusing on mathematics (pre-Algebra through Calculus and Statistics) and standardized test preparation. In my role as a tutor, my goal is two-fold: to review and reinforce previously taught material, and to prepare...

I graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from Rice University and I am currently a first-year medical student at the Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis. I am very passionate about learning and love discovering new facts/ information. This also extends to watching students grow and become experts at subjects they initially struggled with.

...tutoring in high school as a cadet teacher for my AP Chemistry class. I only taught the whole class a few times, but I quickly realized that being on the teacher side of education gives a whole new perspective on the subject matter, and I find it very interesting. I then got my start individually tutoring students in the class, and was able to help them learn the material and succeed. I'm now a college...
