Award-Winning ACT Reading Tutors in Tucson, AZ

...high school here in Tucson at Catalina Foothills and I studied abroad in Vancouver Island, Canada for two years, completing the I.B. diploma. My philosophy of education is focused on sharing my own passion for a subject and developing a similar appreciation in the students that I work with. I believe that this passion is essential for effective learning to happen, namely learning should never be rote memorization that fades away after an exam but...

...also spent a summer teaching Physical Science at the high school level as a volunteer in Kenya … without electricity or textbooks. As an experienced writer and editor, I can help with essays, personal statements, writing technique and mechanics, as well as reading/study skills. I truly believe that every student can become a good writer with individual attention and encouragement. In school I was (and still am) a bookworm and one who sincerely enjoys helping...

"I am so adjective, I verb nouns." I believe relationships are more important than test scores, and people more important that numbers, budgets, or grades. But if we have to play along with this this game, we may as well play with skill.... The guiding question I always ask myself while teaching is, "How can I support students to face their challenges and fears so they can take on cultural activity that awakens rather than anesthetizes them?"

...Pre-Calculus and Calculus, and helping other students with various math subjects ranging from Algebra to Advanced Algebra. While I have experience tutoring in mathematics, English, and the ACT and SAT test preparation, math is definitely my passion. I believe that a strong basis in math will benefit any and every student and allow them to understand not only math subjects, but will allow the student to understand other subjects better as well. It is my...

...categories of math, science, etc. I've tutored fellow students throughout high school. Working with a variety of students within a diversity of academia (science, english, math, psychology, test prep), I've improved my ability to teach. Although I have never been one for specifics, for example remembering the dates of wars, my strength lies in analytical skills and critical thinking. Because of this, I'm able to teach better because the information I'm imparting is not data,...

...able to perform research at a major university. I enjoy the way that understanding Accounting is similar to understanding how the pieces of a puzzle are put together. As a teacher, I am able to make Accounting more tangible. I also enjoy test prep. I have placed above the 90th percentile on the ACT and GMAT tests, and I look forward to teaching students not only the materials that are on these tests but also test...

...patient tutors they have ever had, and that is something I always strive to hold myself to. I am a math and science man by nature, and those are the subjects I most enjoy tutoring. For Math and Chemistry, I believe in trying as many problems as possible to learn all of the various tricks associated with them, as well as going over the different concepts to make sure that the basics are fully understood....

...prep. I have found that a relationship of respect and equality with students is essential to a worthwhile tutoring experience. I pride myself on my ability to break down difficult concepts and create ways to understand them. My schedule is flexible and so is my teaching style--I will tailor my approach based on whether the focus is on improving test scores, classroom performance, or general knowledge. I prefer to meet in a public area near...
