Award-Winning SAT Tutors in Pasadena, CA

...City and rural Massachusetts; I moved to LA recently and am loving it so far! I've been tutoring since I was in high school and love working with young people and helping them achieve their academic and test-prep goals. I have a personal, friendly teaching style and believe in creating a highly individualized tutoring plan for each student that is tailored to their specific strengths. While I love helping students understand and gain confidence in...

...Film and Media studies and tutored and lectured in the public speaking program for over two years. As a public speaking tutor, I helped talented students develop greater communication skills so their presentations could match the strength of their ideas. I also tutor in writing, humanities subjects, and standardized testing, but my teaching goals are consistent throughout: the key to peak performance in any field, particularly in the high pressure scenarios of public speaking and...

...are seeking help. I can relate - the sound of the word "calculus" itself was once enough to give me cold sweats. As such, a tutor is not just someone who can teach material, but someone who can alleviate the stress and self-doubt often associated with academic struggle. Once a student views their subject as an invigorating challenge rather than a frightening enemy, they really begin to do their best work. When I tutor, I...

...Physiology, Chemistry, etc.) As a former student intern with the Joint Educational Program at USC as well as a private tutor in San Diego, I have had an extensive range of experience working along K-12 students with preparation for Standardized tests, such as the SATs, (SAT I, SAT II, PSAT), ACT, AP, IB. I specifically love working with students in preparing for these types of tests because it demands for a higher level of focus...

...Bachelor of Arts in International Relations and Religion with a focus on Feminist Theology and French. Since graduation, I have traveled extensively (from farming in the United Kingdom to camping and hiking across the United States), and discovered a wonderfully fulfilling career in education. I have spent the past two years teaching middle school in rural Massachusetts, and am now certified to teach grades K-12 in both Massachusetts and California. While my concentration is in...

...struggle with Math due to lack of interest and lack the willingness to try because of this struggle; I believe, however, that these students are not a lost cause, no matter how far a student falls behind, they deserve to be helped and can improve with help. As a contracted Tutor, I've also been given the chance to teach the Math portion of the SAT and it brings me joy when students want to look...

...projects, act, teach Pilates, choreograph and teach modern dance, write poetry, write books, write movies, take photos, create mixed media art, develop and run businesses, tutor children, and have a great time doing it all while trying to help others along the way. I have had the good fortune of tutoring some amazing children. Each child has a different challenge and inspires me in new ways. Its an exciting task to help each individual and...

...recently received my Master's degree in Art History from Tufts University, where I was also a Teaching Assistant. I tutor a variety of topics and tests, primarily those related to history and writing skills, such as AP U.S. History and essay writing, because of my background in academic subjects that heavily emphasize research and papers. I also tutor introductory Spanish. I believe in helping the student understand concepts and strategies on their own through dialogue...

...eventually lead to my earliest experiences with tutoring - using pictures and mnemonic devices to understand some of the heavier concepts myself, and subsequently sharing those with other students. My academic studies ultimately led me to Dartmouth College. Finding myself enthralled with both the creative capabilities as well as the underlying technical affordances of Computer Science, I petitioned for a custom major incorporating the two. In the spring of 2014, I graduated from Dartmouth with...

...more manageable chunks. Also, I believe the SAT tests more critical reading than any other skill, and I encourage students to be very detail-oriented about what the question is actually asking. Through tutoring at Chapman, I am used to students coming to me because they are having trouble with a subject, or just because they want to stay on track and excel. Through my experience teaching violin, I am comfortable with students of all ages.
