Award-Winning Test Prep Tutors in St. Charles, MO

...led me to receive my BA in English from the University of Southern California, and my MFA in Poetry from Washington University of St. Louis, where I also taught undergraduate poetry workshops for two years. As someone who benefited enormously from tutoring, I think it's important to pay that benefit forward, and I spent two years between undergrad and grad school tutoring high school English, writing, and history, as well as test prep for the...

I graduated from the University of Notre Dame in applied math. I have experience tutoring ACT and math. I'm very good at communicating concepts in an easy to understand manner. My philosophy is to first understand the student so we can define objectives, create a plan of action for both myself and the student, and evaluate progress along the way.

...anthropology, although I am also interested in art history, philosophy, biology, and literature as well. I think that the most effective way to learn about a particular subject is to make it interesting to learn. I also believe that it is important for students to use a variety of study methods, and to truly understand and interact with information rather than just memorizing. Personally, I've always liked studying with other people as well as on...

Experienced tutor looking forward to working with students of all ages. I believe that there are skills which anyone can learn to improve their score on the ACT or the SAT. I can teach you those skills.

...primarily served students in low-income communities through the Teach For America program. This program took me far away from the Virginia home I grew up in all the way to Hawai'i where I worked as a 7th grade math and science teacher. In my second year there, I led my students to pass the standardized math test at a rate 15% higher than the state average! I eventually moved to St. Louis to be with...

...the University of Missouri-St. Louis. I am certified in both Elementary and Early Childhood Education. I work for a private elementary school. Some of the areas that I tutor are the SSAT test, elementary math, pre-algebra, grammar, and reading. Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, photography, and games. I believe that every child is unique and therefore their learning styles are unique. Teaching is my passion. There is no greater...

...to improve. Once I went to college and my former students entered high school, I started to share my passion in math and science with them as well. Beyond scholastic achievement, math and science allow one to understand the world we live in, and the more you learn, the more the inherent structure, beauty and interconnectedness of the natural world appear to become self-evident. As a tutor, I try to show my students why what...

...in mathematics. At the beginning of each school year, each student takes a survey to discover what type of learner they are. As the students are more aware of their own learning style, they can adapt themselves accordingly. I also use the information to adapt my lessons accordingly. I often have the students explain out loud their thinking and their steps in solving problems. This appeals to the auditory learners. Math problems are visually displayed...

...Science Academy (IMSA) in Aurora, Illinois, where I earned my high school diploma. IMSA emphasized problem-based learning strategies, and further placed importance on the interconnected nature of math and science concepts. As a result, I learned to view mathematics on a continuum, rather than a series of discrete concepts, which is how math tends to be learned in many schools today. As a result, students do not learn how concepts build upon one another and...

...and am working towards a Bachelor's degree in Microbiology. While biology is my passion, I take great interest in a variety of subjects including chemistry, math, reading/writing, and life sciences (hopefully I can help your student take interest in them as well!). I will tailor each lesson to the needs of your student so they can absorb the material in the way he/she learns the best. I already have a year of tutoring and mentoring...
