Award-Winning Tutors in Nashville, TN

...students of all backgrounds and levels of ability. My unique approach to SAT and ACT test-prep focuses just as much on "learning the test" as it does learning the material, which gives students a sense of confidence and courage on test day. My expertise in "big test" prep translates to the regular school environment as well, whether it be building better study habits, better relationships to class material, or finding new ways to make material...

...non-traditional learners, whether they have learning differences, anxiety, ADHD, and/or are just outside-the-box thinkers. I have worked with math learners from elementary to high school in all areas of mathematics. My goal in life is to get previously frustrated or unhappy students to understand math and stop being so nervous about it. When I'm not striving towards that lofty goal, I'm trying to relax by doing yoga, reading novels, and eating lots of cupcakes.

...with a student in particular subjects I am passionate about. As a chemical engineering student at Vanderbilt University, I have always been passionate about learning math and science.

I also took 5 AP Exams as a high school student, receiving 5s in Calculus BS, statistics, computer science, biology,...

...(pre calculus, trigonometry, algebra, geometry) sciences (biological sciences, chemistry, physics) and English. My favorite subject to tutor is algebra because it is like a puzzle, and who does not like a good puzzle?

I have found that the more a subject means to...

...prepare for college applications, including mastering standardized tests, college essays, and study strategies. I am also driven to teach young students to become better overall writers and critical readers as these skills will affect all facets of their educational career.

The ability to teach one's self...

...the Library Media Center for a local middle school before my retirement. I developed a desire for teaching when I was in the 4th grade. My 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Barnett, used many techniques years before they became popular. She used Study Buddies and small groups in order to ensure that her students learned the material they were assigned. In 2006, I was selected as a Walmart Teacher of the Year. I was presented a...

...results that ensued.

I have a lot of experience with standardized testing, and have taken multiple AP...

...3rd world with the necessities we take for granted. As a tutor, I believe the most important thing I can do for you is to push you to think on your own. I've tutored students before who simply wanted me to do their work for them, but that will not help you to learn at all. If you want to become self-sufficient, I will help you reach your goals. I tutor many high school and...

...in the early grades, they modeled a 'desire to try," which resulted in the "momentum" that helped me intentionally reach learning goals. My mother and grandmother, who were not teachers, fostered my character learning experience. Though my grandmother did not attend school past the third grade, she helped me make the wise decision to follow directions. Mother taught me how trusting relationships within the family and community were vital in learning to live and relate...
