Award-Winning HSPT Tutors in Johns Creek, GA

...their minds and it is fantastic. I have taught in middle school, high school and college settings. Classes taught have varied through the years, including Physical Science, Algebra I, Algebra II, Physics, Chemistry, and Bible. I believe the key to tutoring is in understanding the student. Each of us learns and communicates differently. For the student to succeed, the tutor must learn how the student thinks, teach to the student's learning style and develop the...

...process of learning as enjoyable and fun as possible. As the oldest of four boys, I relate easily to students, and my tutoring sessions can feel like studying with a friend, albeit a friend who is helping them improve their scores. By making the material relatable and communicating it in simple terms, I get many students to understand seemingly difficult-to-grasp subject matter. I take great joy in seeing the moment a concept clicks in a...

...have also begun specializing in Exam Prep - AP, ISEE, ACT, and SAT. I have an excellent track record for helping students raise their exam grades. While completing my Master's program at ASU, I realized I have a gift when it comes to teaching languages as well: Spanish, Mandarin, French, and English. Linguistics is a subject I continue to study. Providing one-on-one attention to my students is one of my biggest priorities, along with needs...

...for various standardized tests (having received a perfect score on my SAT in high school). Whenever possible I try to teach using the Socratic method, as I find that the process of guided discovery helps with the retention and application of new concepts. I enjoy the challenge of trying to connect academic subjects with the interests of my students (abstract mathematical principles are less likely to capture a young football fan’s fancy, for example, than...

...have even managed to convince people that math is not some bizarre form of torture. It can even be fun. I promise! As a tutor my primary goal is not to teach towards specific problems. Rather, it is to establish strong foundations and to teach methods to figure out how to apply those fundamentals to any problem the student might encounter. I try to really drive home, on a conceptual level, why things are done...

...and performing on-stage in front of audiences large and small, I learned how to be a well-rounded musician, teacher, and life-long student. The arts are my passion, but education comes in at a close second. I aspire to become a voice teacher, and I enjoy helping others in any way I can. I worked as a counselor for a summer program for high school students in North Carolina, and have been an advocate for educational...

...limited number of patterns and question types that can be mastered with practice. The formulaic nature of the test gives me the privilege and joy of being able to reveal a manageable and orderly structure to students who had previously seen only a confusing mess of problems. Similarly, I take great joy in walking students through the mental process of clarifying their ideas and assumptions that is necessary for the development of effective persuasive writing....

...different types of students, and to find ways to make the material interesting and meaningful for each individual student. I especially enjoy the challenge of making standardized test prep fun, since I recognize the importance of strong test scores in today’s competitive world. Inspired by principles of library science, I believe that one of the best ways to help students learn is to teach them how to find the information they need efficiently, rather than...

...PA/NJ area, I am working as an itinerant teacher for the deaf and hard of hearing from grades 1 up to 12. Working with this demographic has allowed me to focus on literacy development regardless of hearing status as I work to accommodate students within the Common Core. My strongest skill set lies in literacy and I enjoy teaching history (especially American!). While I am new to PA/NJ, I am familiarizing myself with the local...

...was never been able to decide on a favorite subject because I felt anything I studied in school could be fun and much easier if approached with the right attitude. Instead of boring memorization, I like to look for patterns and think of creative approaches to study subjects that can otherwise be very frustrating. My goal as a tutor is to help students gain confidence and to think of creative approaches to subjects (or standardized...
