Award-Winning GRE Tutors in Phoenix, AZ

...a professional copy editor. My focus when tutoring is student understanding. I believe academic goals are more readily achievable when concepts are understood, rather than formulas memorized. When helping students prepare for standardized tests I focus on taking practice exams and working with students on the areas they need the most help. Outside of school I enjoy hiking, gardening, reading, and cooking. I like to explore new ways of doing things and being outside. I...

...inspired me in the past. Through my experience, I have seen that every student learns differently and understands problems from different perspectives. I believe that finding the method that matches up best with each students individual learning needs is an essential part of helping students to succeed. Making any small difference in a students life and education is in itself an amazing reward. I look forward to working with each and every student I can...

...where a student's understanding of a topic was faulty. Over time, however, I developed a keener sense for the hurdles that students sometimes face when learning, as well as the most efficient ways to overcome them. I also developed more patience and empathy through tutoring - I often remembered feeling the same confusion about a topic that my students were feeling the first time I had learned the material. The skills and perspective I developed...

...one-on-one with students. To me, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing something 'click' for a student. My interdisciplinary training in biology and materials science has taught me how to communicate complex subjects in a way that anyone can understand. I am available to tutor a variety of subjects in mathematics and biology, and I can also help my students prepare for both the verbal and quantitative sections of the GRE. I look forward to...

...very relaxed, hands-on, and visual process. I excel at tutoring biological subjects, but I also really enjoy helping students improve their writing and standardized testing skills. Every student is different, and so I firmly believe that studying and learning habits should be tailored to each person. I make it a goal to help students discover how they learn best! I can also help students with organization and time management techniques along the way. When I'm...

...and citizen, I strongly support the importance of education because of its ability to empower and improve people's lives.

My academic and teaching experience focuses on the natural, social, and health sciences along with statistics and essay writing including graduate level research papers. I have presented numerous research papers...

...studying for the GRE, I developed my own study system and approach which has been passed on and used by several friends. My teaching style can be best described as knowledge gap identification. I believe that the single most important thing for learning, after attitude, is identifying exactly what information has been miscommunicated. After this step, almost any person can learn any subject with enough patience. I moved to Arizona after accepting ASU's offer and...

...young learners, I see myself as tutoring not just the child, but the parents as well. I want to equip learners with the tools they need to be successful outside of our sessions.

My approach to test prep sessions is to equip students with the best strategies for test-taking. Test-taking is a skill, and...

...a young learner gain confidence and independence in their learning skills and subject matter. My personal philosophy is that any subject can be fun, we just have to figure out how to make it so! My personal style is to use what the learner is interested in to make the subject more fun! Who says you can't use Pokemon to teach math, Minecraft to teach science, or Percy Jackson to teach grammar?

...isn't perfect. People learn in different ways, and sitting in a classroom isn't always going to allow for optimal learning conditions. That's where I come in. By tutoring, myself and others are able to directly work with individuals until comprehension, understanding, and eureka moments abound. I am personally most interested in languages, math, history, literature, music, all forms of art, scientific investigation of the universe, and games which allow for a creative and competitive outlet....

...we just need to work together to find out what works for you. Learning is not just observation, it is also participation. By engaging students in interactive discussions, I encourage curiosity and intellectual exploration. I help students learn how to think not what to think. By learning to think critically, students are able to maximize their potential to excel in math and science and do well on exams. I am willing to work hard to...

...me. Tutoring allows me to have the personal satisfaction of a one to one relationship with a learner. Hearing a student got a greatly improved score on a test or aced a reading or writing assignment gives me great satisfaction as a teacher. I enjoyed my years in the classroom and look forward to returning some day to that environment but find that I truly enjoy teaching in small intimate groups of 1-4 students. When...

I am very patient with students and able to explain concepts and problems in multiple ways to make sure the student has a complete grasp of the topic.

I am a former Middle and High School Special Education teacher. I am certified to teach Special Education, History and English. I have also co-taught and tutored students in Geometry, Algebra 1 and below. I am currently pursuing my MBA at ASU.... Teaching should be tailored to meet individual students' particular strengths and weaknesses.... Build a relationship and determine the student's strengths and weaknesses in order to leverage the strengths and mitigate weaknesses in future sessions.

...tutoring is helping others express themselves, and my methods get results. I have had many students come back to me again and again to help them with assignments due to the positive feedback they have received on assignments I've helped them with. I also have firsthand experience as a test-taker, having taken the ACT, PSAT, SAT, LSAT, and GRE and received above 90th percentile marks on all of them. I'm happy to share my knowledge...

...to structure and organize their writing so that their ideas can flow. For standardized testing I believe the most important factor in success is becoming comfortable with the test itself; learning the common ways the test makers misdirect a student’s attention and how to properly break down a problem. Outside of the classroom I have a great interest in film; I own hundreds of movies from various genres, eras, and countries. I also write fiction...

I am here to help. Learning and taking tests can be stressful, especially when it must be done independently during a pandemic. Before ideas slot into place in relation to previous learning, we may have to adjust how we think about things. I know that can be the height of frustrating. I hope to help get people into the zone where they can learn without being frustrated.
