Award-Winning PSAT Tutors in Plano, TX

...While I have been trained to tutor all core subjects, tutoring Mathematics has always brought me the greatest joy in life. Through my years working as a tutor, I have found that "all work and no play" makes students tired and yields to difficulty with focus.

...students in both the SAT and the SSAT. Additionally, my time as an 8th Grade Science teacher here in Dallas has prepared me for the curriculum and challenges facing students in the area. While I offer tutoring in a broad range of subjects from foreign languages to grammar and writing to math and science, I find Physics to be the most enjoyable subject to teach. I see Physics as the science that allows all the...

...technical and creative writing can be successfully achieved. This type of reading and writing can be considered a dying art, but in my opinion once a student learns those skills, it's even more impressive. I spent a great deal of time in my educational career reading many genres of literature and editing my peers essays (from thesis papers to fictional stories), along with creating presentations. Whether it is fiction, poetry, history, or technical, it is...

However, I have also tutored and supported students with study skills, public speaking, writing, upper-level math (e.g., Algebra, Geometry, & Algebra II), lower-level math (e.g., basic arithmetic), and social science areas (e.g., psychology, history, government etc.); I also am well-equipped with a variety of teaching strategies and techniques to better support students' understanding and mastery of content. I firmly believe that students learn in varying ways and that the best instruction should correspond with...

...department of neuroscience at my university. Among these experiences, working as a writing consultant at our undergraduate writing center was especially memorable for me. It was a joy to help students from various academic backgrounds cultivate the writing skills they needed in order to flourish in undergraduate courses and even in the professional world.

...small children (elementary to middle school-age) at the Dallas Museum of Art as a Teen Docent. Outside of school, I love to write and to perform. I am spending the summer focusing on writing, specifically long-form personal essays and articles. In high school, I did Speech, Interp and Debate, and did a lot of competitive acting and preforming and speaking through that. In college, I have been given the privilege of combining those interests I...

...Ireland. Perhaps the most rewarding experience of all was being able to spend my final semester of law school as an exchange student at the University of Hong Kong, China. The chance to learn and study with students and faculty of diverse nationalities and cultures has been both enlightening and exciting. It truly generates appreciation for learning and the greater world community. My experience has taught me that, when it comes to education, learning isn’t...

...Critical Language Scholarship from the US Department of State to study intensive advanced Mandarin in China in 2015. Studying and teaching intensive Chinese has helped me learn how to lay down the fundamentals of a subject and build on them, what topics in a subject to focus on and why, and how to teach students using teaching styles other than lecturing. After all, thanks to my experience teaching with the public school system, I know...

I am quite comfortable in a myriad of other subjects as well. My teaching style is best characterized as 'hands-on'. My goal is to enable the student to become confident with the material through practice and self-reinforcement. I serve to assist where needed using substantive knowledge and to motivate...
