Award-Winning SSAT Tutors in Alpharetta, GA

...science, social studies, and English. During college, I spent a month as a teacher's assistant in a middle school English Language Learners' classroom in Portland, Maine. The summer after my freshman year at Williams, I spent three weeks in rural Tanzania teaching English to seventh grade students. This past summer, I spent eleven weeks at the same Tanzanian school teaching English to students in kindergarten through ninth grade. Everyone has a different learning style, so...

...tutoring in mathematics since my early years in high school. I first found my love of mathematics in Mr. Vreisman's classroom. He was my Algebra 1 teacher and encouraged me to continue to pursue the subject. His motto was, "Math is only as hard as you make it seem." He believed that most people had trouble in this subject because of the daunting stereotypes surrounding the difficulty of math. He proved us all wrong in...

...is Lauren. I'm a recent graduate from LSU with a Masters Degree in Statistics. My undergraduate degree is in Psychology from Agnes Scott. I taught a Statistics Lab to undergraduate and graduate students for two years at LSU and offered outside of the classroom tutoring. I can help students with either classroom material or using statistical computer programs (SAS, SPSS, JMP, R). I have a naturally outgoing personality and infinite patience. I'm really good at...

...New College of Florida, American and NYU affords me the opportunity to hone my skills as an instructor-across multiple departments. I bring a deeply entrenched belief in the development of student "idea." I see "idea" a finessed & nuanced, malleable entity that students themselves form and put to work in their thinking/ writing. This pushes them beyond the routinized 'thesis statement' and pushes them to foray into the uncharted waters of their own minds. I...

...as a high school student, I was even recognized as my school system's STAR Student for having the highest SAT within my county. As such, I am very familiar with the format and the concepts covered on each of the exams. I work hard to provide each of my students with a personalized plan that addresses their own strengths and weaknesses. To do this, I often asses student's previous test scores and administer my own...

...I developed a true appreciation for working with students to not only improve their grades, but also their confidence and mindset. Making sure the students' goals align with my goals (and, of course, the parents' goals!) gives the student the internal motivation and drive that is required to apply the insight gained at a tutoring session to every day academic performance. I am absolutely confident that any student can find what motivates them and gain...

...and my youngest sister in elementary school, I have constant exposure to different levels and types of academic subjects. Teaching has always been my passion and I have consistently found a good way of connecting with students. I have worked with students who are struggling to understand very difficult course material in Biochemistry, Calculus 3 and electromagnetism in Physics. I have also worked with younger students in spelling, addition, subtraction and forming basic sentences. They...

...club. I never stopped tutoring. I use content-rich humor and visual aids and, if needed, audio reinforcement to help my students conquer various problems and retain what they learned. (The kids I have worked with really laughed when I would beatbox a formula- they told me they would never forget the formula-or that moment). I don't give students answers to homework problems, I build in those I tutor the knowledge, skills and effective methods needed...

...in this life come from helping others. I have tutored in the areas of English and Essay Writing for the past ten years. While pursuing my Master's degree in English from Auburn University Montgomery, I taught English Composition and worked as a tutor in the Student Learning Center. I worked with traditional and non-traditional students in subject areas such as Basic College Writing, Introduction to Composition and Introduction to American Literature. While pursuing my Ph.D....

...is Kristin and I am a graduate of the University of Georgia. I am a huge sports fan. Math has always been my favorite subject and I have had experience with long-term substitute positions teaching Algebra 2 and Trigonometry. I have been a high school substitute teacher since March of 2012, but am also comfortable tutoring middle school and elementary school math. I know mathematics is not every student's favorite subject so I like to...
