Award-Winning SSAT Tutors in Los Angeles, CA

...in both English and Bioengineering. I hope to use this interest to better myself as a teacher because I understand the keystone to teaching is communication and the ability to clearly express one's ideas. I have practiced these proficiencies in speaking with Caltech students, faculty, administration, and trustees throughout my time as the Vice President of the Caltech student body (2009-2010). I dealt with controversial campus-wide issues requiring compromises that I often had to engineer...

...classroom teacher, teaching French, ESL, and AP English. I love to travel and have frequently integrated that into my career as an educator: I worked as an ESL teacher at a language magnet school in China, tutored English while spending the first year of my MA studying in France, and developed French curriculum materials as part of a Fulbright visit to Cameroon. I have always been an enthusiastic learner, and my work with students has...

...as well as prep for other standardized tests such as the ISEE, SSAT, and HSPT. I also teach a bi-weekly SAT Prep course in Glendale, and an advanced Competition Math class for two age groups (6-8 and 9-12). It's a lot of fun! I've always found math pretty neat and like to get students interested in it too! I love to travel and have been fortunate enough to do a lot of it during my...

...on. The great thing about tutoring one on one is being able to go at each student's pace and work with their unique learning styles. I'm personally very visual and need to draw a picture to figure out a problem. I enjoy learning about the student's interests and incorporating them into the lesson to make it more fun and interesting. I've been working in education for about 5 years. I taught preschool and 4th grade...

...of Art in London. I grew up in New York 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....

My mission is to help students achieve their educational goals as well as offer them the opportunities to learn strategies that will help them succeed.

...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 standardized testing, is confidence in one's own abilities. I think...

...as academic contexts. I found myself continuously drawn toward the academic realm, and in January of 2012 I entered a Master of Arts and teaching credential program in Special Education at the California State University, Dominguez Hills. For the past three years, I have been tutoring students in elementary, middle school, and early high school subjects, with a particular emphasis on Algebra and Pre-Algebra. Additionally, I have experience tutoring students with learning disabilities and other...

...stop him from learning. I believe that this is most important, not giving up when you get stuck, trying to think about problems differently and knowing that many have come before you and you are no less capable than them. Maybe we all can't be Einstein, but we can all learn to help ourselves and each other understand the world a little better. My philosophy is that every student has the ability to succeed, it...

...this helps to build confidence in my students, which translates into long-lasting success. My favorite subjects to tutor are Chemistry, Biology, and Algebra, and while each hold a very special place in my heart, I most enjoy tutoring math because I love helping people understand that math is nothing to be afraid of! When presented in the correct way, anyone can be good at math! In my free time, I love playing and coaching basketball,...
