...As a 23 year old, I am not very far removed from either the ACT or the SAT, and feel as though this will help me better empathize with specific concepts and areas students are struggling with. I graduated high school with enough credits to obtain a minor in mathematics from the University of Minnesota. Finally, I have significant experience tutoring middle school math as I have been doing so for the past several years...

...way of "living vicariously" through students by experiencing the joy of learning once more. As a tutor, I teach every concept that a student is struggling to learn very thoroughly. I give a lot of examples. I break problems down into carefully thought-out steps. Because I studied physics and math myself, I can anticipate certain roadblocks a student may encounter and will be able to steer a student in the right direction should he or...

...and Geometry). I scored in the 99th percentile of both the ACT and SAT, and I strive to help every student I tutor gain the necessary skills and habits to achieve whatever score they are aiming for.

I have tutored math and reading at the Boys and Girls club for five years in the past, and I also tutored Algebra 1 for a year when I was in high school. My ultimate goal is to help students get to a point where they feel confident enough about a subject that they can answer...

...students to help them reach their maximum potential. As a current college student, I have tutored students in elementary school all the way up through the age of my current peers. In preparation for college, I took the ACT multiple times and in the process learned a great deal of tips and strategies that are useful for raising scores. I believe in helping students truly understand the material, not just memorize it. I look forward...

...major focus of any tutoring session has to be focused around knowledge AND habit retention. Not only should the student learn the content, they should also learn how to continue delving into the subject and develop strong study/homework habits specific to the subject. Each subject has to be approached in a unique fashion to tailor the session to the needs of the student. Outside of school, I enjoy watching sports (of course I'm a little...

That's what I hope to help you do as you prepare for the LSAT, SAT, ACT or any other subject. I also have a blast editing essays, so make sure to use all of these services to their fullest potential!

...ingredient in learning. As a tutor, I ask questions to help students come to right answers on their own, and I show students how to ask their own questions as well. I believe in giving my students resources that help them continue learning after tutoring is finished and throughout their lives. In addition, using my knowledge of science, math, the arts, and the humanities, I make connections between different subjects to help my students see...

...semester and during my second semester I taught a section of College Algebra. I am able to tutor many different areas of math, including Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus. Of these, my favorite is definitely Calculus, because I think that there are many people with misconceptions about the subject, and I enjoy showing people that there is nothing to afraid of, and that it can actually be fun! Outside of math, my hobbies include video...

SI is, in essence, collaborative group tutoring, and my teaching style and philosophy stems from that.
