Let’s be honest, there are many tutors out there who would appreciate the opportunity to strengthen your child’s weak academic areas. My ability to build a trusting relationship with both you and your child will allow honesty, and an open flow of communication. With a solid foundation built on trust, tutoring sessions will be more effective because students will feel comfortable admitting their weaknesses, or when they still do not 100% get something as opposed to just nodding their head and yessing me. I pride myself on finding alternate ways to convey the same point using different teaching modalities to reach all learners. Often times when students ask me questions and expect a quick forgettable answer, I lead their learning by asking them various other questions that will enable them to discover the answer to their original question, making it much more memorable.
If you are looking for a tutor to bump your score up from a 92% to a 100%, I can help you push yourself to that next level. My preference however is to work with those students who are perhaps disengaged, or just struggling and are scared of a low score, or failing the test.
I have a bag of tricks, and fun ways to make the facts regarding the most commonly asked questions more relatable and memorable!
During tutoring time, the best way to achieve substantial results is to teach to the test. When applicable (to help deepen understanding), I get technical and discuss more of the background information surrounding specific topics.
Ideally I would love to help you through either Common Core Algebra 1, or Earth Science. See the "My Certifications" page to get more info on what I may tutor.
