Award-Winning PSAT Tutors in Akron, OH

Beth ...school, mainly because I had teachers who were extremely inspired by what they were teaching. They are why I think passion is the key to teaching and I hope to share my passion for learning with my clients. I think that a good teacher or tutor can be the difference between learning being a chore or an opportunity. Passion is contagious and once a student or client can view the information in a new light,...

Anne ...educational leadership and then my principal as well as superintendents license. This level of study in graduate school provided its own challenges, but I embraced them all. I love to be in the classroom in whatever capacity, whether I am a student, a teacher or even as an administrator. The learning process is something that I have studied and will continue to study. Helping students become successful in school, at the university level and as...

Viola ...my four years which definitely helped me mature in that time. There is something so unexplainably gratifying in seeing one's frustration in not understanding a concept turn into excitement once he/she has grasped it. In order for a child to succeed, it is key that they are helped through this frustration stage so that they can regain the confidence to tackle any problem put before them. I found it very important to not only help...

Julie ...research in a pediatrics - infectious diseases laboratory. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about helping students achieve their potential on standardized tests. I want to help not only with students' short-term goals but also more distant trajectories and life goals. In my spare time, I enjoy playing music, reading, practicing yoga, running, and learning new tricks in the kitchen. I look forward to working with you!... If a student has difficulty learning a skill, I would recommend revisiting previous concepts to make sure a solid foundation has been built. Then, we would break down the new concept enough so that the student can easily understand and apply it . Everyone learns in different ways--we will work together to find yours!

Timothy I have been teaching high school English for the past 14 years. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from John Carroll University, with a degree in English. I also have a master's degree in Education from Marygrove College. I look forward to a productive tutoring experience.

Sean ...of Plato and Kierkegaard. Other intellectual pursuits include studying ancient history (typically deep antiquity) as well as some cosmology, astronomy, and physics. I enjoy traveling, and I've been around Europe a few times, Mexico twice, visited Egypt once (easily my favorite trip), and a variety of trips here in the US. Travel is a wonderful activity not only for the sites and history one witnesses but also the cultures and individuals encountered -- most importantly,...

Ethan ...step of the way. Through this method, meaningful knowledge, and not merely rote memorization, is achieved. When I was in school, I hated when teachers did work in their heads and made the unreasonable assumption that their students understood what was going on. By always vocalizing my thought process, I make sure never to do that with my own students. A second foundation of my teaching philosophy is finding what my students are passionate about...

Ariel ...ACT and SAT: you are working towards a goal and you get quantifiable results. I consider myself a very patient and caring person. This isn't "just a job" to me; I really want to see your children do their best! I try my best to make sure your child is invested and "checked-in" during our sessions. I assign homework (not too much!) and I expect it to be done. I like to laugh and consider...

DJ ...world, it was not surprising that I tutored my own students frequently, developed ways to help them through state and standardized tests in my classroom, and always loved it. For adolescents, I find that reclaiming their academic experiences through reflection was just as important on drilling them in the facts when it came to ACT, SAT, and AP preparation. A few opportunities to help the parents of my students reinvigorated me as I helped adults...

Vinay ...Public Affairs, a B.S. in Molecular, Cell, & Developmental Biology, and a B.S. in Mathematics-Economics (both from UCLA). In addition, I have scored in the 99th percentile on the SAT, ACT, and GMAT exams and scored in the 95th percentile on the MCAT. I really enjoy working with students of all ages and backgrounds and believe all students are capable of learning and being successful with the right approach to education. I would love the...
