Award-Winning SSAT Tutors in Raleigh-Durham, NC

As cliche as it sounds, I love learning! I also love watching a student's face when that light bulb goes off and they just "get it." That's why I teach (and why I tutor) - to give students the most chances to have their light bulbs go off so that they can become the best students they can be!... I use a first session to get to know the student, let them get to know me, set expectations, and have them work through a couple of problems to see where they need extra help.

...models, including my mother, have been teachers since I was born, and I was thrust very early into the world of teaching myself. This made me want to continue the legacy and help others the way my family always had. For that reason, I started tutoring as early as I could. I truly feel a part of something greater when I can help others to understand, even if only a small part of something they...

...making a difference in students lives. I love knowing that I made a difference to someone, even if it's just one person. My favorite moment is the lightbulb moment; when someone gets what you have been trying to explain! I have been a long term substitute and will begin teaching in the fall. I am a certified elementary teacher. I have worked with students of all ages, but love working with elementary students!... I believe that all students have a right to learn. Students should have a caring and respectful environment in which they are comfortable and supported.

...Education, I moved to North Carolina from Illinois to begin my teaching career. In that time, I taught 4th grade and Kindergarten. While teaching, I met my (now) husband. We now have two young boys and I have left teaching (at least temporarily) to stay at home with them. I'm really excited to tutor students, while being able to keep staying home most of the time with my kids. When I am not teaching or...

...is to help you gain confidence, a deeper understanding of that subject you're struggling with, and insight into what sort of a thinker and learner you are. I've been a teacher for eight years, so I have worked with students to help them through all sorts of challenging concepts. My teaching style is flexible: I have training in the Montessori style and plenty of experience prepping students for end-of-grade tests. I will work with you...

...North Carolina at Chapel Hill, with minors Computer Science and Neuroscience. I currently work in a social neuroscience lab doing psychological research and very much enjoy this branch of experimental psychology. For the last two years I have regularly tutored online, helping students primarily in late middle and high school reach their academic goals. More recently I have worked with first year college students and adult learners. I am extremely passionate about psychology, but I...

...believe each student has his or her own unique learning style, and having a teacher who understands this fact will greatly improve a student's success. My experience as a special educator has allowed me to become very adept at helping students find their strengths and using them to promote academic success. While my favorite subjects to teach and tutor involve history and politics, I am skilled at tutoring students in reading, writing, math, and study...

...teacher in Randolph County North Carolina. While they offered to extend the position, I fell deeper in love with music while there (while solidifying my love for education). I decided to take music on the road while trying to stay involved in education in some capacity. I excelled in school when I was younger and did particularly well on standardized testing. After working in a public school, I'm not the biggest fan of standardized testing...

...prefer to plant good seeds into the lives of others. Further, I have discovered that I not only love to teach but that I am quite good at it. While I am doing quite a bit of private tutoring on my own, I am now looking for ways to expand my reach. Accordingly, your organization may be a good fit with my skills and abilities. Note that I do not intend to quit my private...

...assistant in an 8th grade Literature and Language Arts classroom in West Seattle. I graduated from Duke in May, and am looking for part time work before beginning graduate school at the University of Washington. I love reading, writing and working with kids. I taught Kindergarten in Kolkata, India, worked in a 2nd grade classroom in Durham and now work with middle schoolers full time. I am excited to get to know students and help...
