"My job as a test prep tutor is to teach the necessary concepts and practices that will help my students fully understand any exam. Bringing over 10 years of experience and a background in curriculum development, I tailor lessons to my students' abilities to help them overcome their fear of failure, improve their self-confidence and perpetuate self-motivation.
When it comes to standardized tests, each problem can be daunting. The language can seem confusing and putting pencil to paper can feel overwhelming. With Math, helping my students to learn the art of translating the problem into expressions and equations that can be solved is my main focus. Along with Translation, I teach my students the Basic Math Curriculum in Arithmetic, Algebra, and Geometry along with the Problem Solving Skills that will help students get to the answer. In Verbal, I teach students Reading Strategies that help them fully understanding passages quickly and efficiently. Methods of Pinpointing Keywords and Indicators that connect the questions to the passage is also a focus on my teaching. This along with my Vocabulary Regimens has helped students become much more comfortable going into the test.
I am always looking to teach and encourage students. Each student comes with his or her own story and I'm here to help guide them. I act as a mentor to my students and hope to aid students in achieving long-term academic success." less...
