Award-Winning SSAT Tutors in St. Louis, MO

...boarding high school called Brockwood Park School located in Hampshire, UK. I spent the 2013-2014 school year living in England teaching a textiles course and exploring philosophy with my peers. The infamously gray English weather brought me back to my home state of California in September. My experience working at an English language school with international students inspired me to volunteer as an ESL tutor at the Pleasanton Library. Through this, I have been reminded...

...students in Math, Science, and Reading and decided to continue my love of teaching into higher level courses. I currently tutor in the above topics, with a specific passion for Biology, Chemistry, and test preparation. As a tutor, I strive to challenge students beyond fundamentals, while focusing on and accommodating individual needs and individual learning styles. As an sewing and crafting enthusiast, I understand that with practice, tenacity, and perseverance comes success, a lesson I...

I am a storyteller by nature, and I believe teaching--regardless of the subject-- is storytelling at the core. Instead of tales of fantasy and fiction, however, these are stories about how the world works. Students like working with me because of my ability to communicate information in a way that they can understand (i.e. I tell the story they want to hear). I enjoy swimming, being outdoors, and pets.

I have a M.A. in Teaching (2011) from Missouri Baptist University. I have been tutoring since 2014. I love the one on one aspect of tutoring a student.The main reason for tutoring is to help a student get from point 'a' to point 'b'. Helping students find the most direct route to success is the first goal in tutoring.... I believe that every student has the ability to learn - some just need extra time, help, and encouragement to get the job done!

...tutor and mentor foreign exchange students as they acclimated to studying in America. I also worked at an orphanage during a semester study abroad experience in Ghana, West Africa where I provided both one-on-one and classroom instruction to students from 3-15 years of age. I am currently a teaching assistant for a law school professor where I provide incoming law students academic support including study skills, time management and basic legal analysis skills. For me,...

...math. I enjoy working with Special Education students due to the fact I parented two children with learning disabilities. I believe all children are capable of excellence in their studies and just need extra guidance in some areas of their instruction. My passion for education and exuberance for teaching will provide your child with a great learning experience. My past times include cooking, hiking, fishing, reading, watching classic movies, gardening, dancing, exercising, walking, and working...

...degree. So, I'm certified to teach elementary 1-8, Social Studies 5-8, and Gifted K-12. I loved taking the classes and I love helping others to master the classes. When my children were still at home, I had a day care center in a portion of my home, taking care of special needs children there. After I finished my degree(s), I taught elementary school in a regular classroom, then taught gifted classes to third through eighth...

...for many students, my own experience of learning math as I grew up was quite the opposite, and it is that opposite experience which inspired me to go into education. In middle and high school, I was fortunate enough to have educators who taught math not as a regimen of drills and memorization, but as a process of thinking logically. They taught not exclusively through by-the-book lectures, but through anecdotes and idiosyncratic metaphors which may...

...charter school in Minneapolis, MN. During that time, I received my Masters of Education from National-Louis University. While I tutor in subjects like reading, phonics, social studies, and geography, my passion and expertise lie in math, specifically pre-algebra and algebra. I really enjoy seeing my students grow from intrepid or anxious test takers into confident and able test takers. My main goal is to improve not only the academic abilities of your child but self-esteem...

...I served as a writing tutor in Washington Universitys Writing Center. Additionally, I tutored peers outside of the Writing Center in their writing intensive courses and have worked with high school students on preparing for standardized testing. Tutoring allows me to continue working with subjects I am interested in, including English Literature, Psychology, and perhaps most passionately, English Composition. I find that helping others to improve their writing, from assisting in generating ideas to expressing...
