Award-Winning STAAR Tutors in Garland, TX

...Illinois Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service. During this year I fell in love with the Windy City, the Cubs, and deep dish pizza. I also learned a lot about keeping students engaged by finding a way to help them relate to the material. I believe that the most effective teachers are those who are willing to learn from their students. Overall, it was an extremely rewarding experience. Also among my most rewarding life experiences...

...and English/Language Arts. I have experience in teaching language arts and math in preparation for the state tests as well as in summer school. Because of my instructional techniques and subject area knowledge, my students were able to increase their comprehension and skills to pass their required tests. In addition to skills in math and science, my undergraduate degree included a majority of upper level classes in history and literature. I am confident in my...

...figuring out problems. I also like how math is very logical and that there is a process to determine every answer. When I am tutoring, I will work with the students to determine what they already know. Then I will explain the parts they don’t know or guide them into discovering how to work the problem. After that, I will provide examples or use similar problems to have them work it out themselves to make...

...tutoring Mathematics has always brought me the greatest joy in life. Through my years working as a tutor, I have found that "all work and no play" makes students tired and yields to difficulty with focus. I overcome this by rewarding positive progress with fun sessions, game days, trivia, or a reward to encourage determination and reinforce students' resolve. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy reading, playing paintball, and am an avid gamer.

...as well as a Mater of Education in Educational Leadership from UTA. I have been a public school educator for 17 years, and have worked with a very diverse group of students. My goal in tutoring is to help your student realize the potential that they have inside. I will work tirelessly to build your student up to success. I enjoy working with students of all ages, including adult learners. Tutoring students in any Math...

...my students truly learn. I tutor subjects anywhere from Algebra I and II to Calculus III, and beyond (any undergraduate mathematics course (other than, perhaps, probability and statistics)). I also teach test preparation for various high school and undergraduate tests such as the ACT/SAT and GRE or GMAT. I love to teach these subjects, and I've been doing so for the three years I've been a tutor. I like to guide students in training them...

...is in accordance with the Texas Kindergarten curriculum for those students who are not yet able to enter Kindergarten due to mandated age requirements. Along with abundant experience with all preschool years, I have assisted children in many elementary grade levels. My strongest subjects to tutor are English, reading, phonics and elementary math. In my experience, prepping students in reading and phonics is the most enjoyable for me because of the range of techniques that...

...with several different organizations and have worked with students with learning differences: The Shelton School (lower elementary students reading and writing tutoring) and the UT Learning Center (as a peer educator for college students needing test prep and study strategies). Outside of teaching and tutoring, I spend a great deal of my free time enjoying my family, friends, movies, music, basketball games and food. I underwent demanding high school and college programs (including completing several...

...today's technology centered world. Our lesson plans were both hands-on and thoroughly engaging while ensuring efficacy in education. I firmly believe that every student has the potential for "math literacy"; with a little help, anyone can be a math-confident person. I am most comfortable teaching math subjects (from preschool to BC Calculus), but I do have some background in reading/writing tutoring. I currently work as a sous chef four nights a week, but otherwise my...

...I also was engaged as a private tutor through the language school where I was employed. I am currently a student at the University of Texas at Arlington working towards my Masters in Linguistics, which I intend to use to continue teaching English language at a private or public school. I am also employed as a reading comprehension and vocabulary teacher at the Nepali Cultural Center in Irving. I have traveled to 15 countries including...
