Award-Winning ACT Tutors in St. Charles, MO

...MO. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and I will be receiving my Masters of Arts in Education with emphasis in Elementary Education December 12. Since returning home to St. Louis, I have been student teaching in a first grade classroom. I have experience with tutoring at all ages, from first grade to college-level. I tutor a broad range of subjects, but I am most passionate about Math, English, Literature, and Essay Writing....

...I also helped friends in college with lower level math and all levels of geography. I graduated in 2014 with a Bachelor of Science in Geography, and feel most comfortable tutoring in this subject. I also feel comfortable with ACT prep across all subjects although I do not use a specific strategy as they never worked for me. Also, I am a stickler for proper grammar and spelling, but can also help with essay writing...

...high school level science. I am strongest in the areas of English, essay writing, and ACT prep and prefer to tutor these subjects but I am willing and able to tackle other subjects as well. My favorite thing to do is to get students laughing while they learn so studying turns into more than an obligation. I have found through my experience that children will be more willing to learn if they are having fun...

...am a graduate of a top university and recently finished a year volunteering with Americorps in St. Louis. Through my major in Environmental Earth Sciences, I gained a strong background in math and science. I have teaching experience as a camp counselor at a nature preserve, as a tutor while in college, and as a teaching assistant of a higher level geology course. I enjoy tutoring and allowing students to reach conclusions through guided critical...

...writing is one of my personal passions, and my creative work has been published in several literary journals. I love working with writers of all skill levels, and I am prepared to address difficulties related to grammar and mechanics, syntax, structure, style, content, and editing. I studied Latin at the honors level for over six years throughout middle school and high school. I believe in the value of classical study and I am excited to...

...Biomedical and Mechanical Engineering. I've tutored since I was a freshman in high school, and am currently a Math and Physics tutor at Saint Louis University. My favorite subject to tutor would have to be any Math or Physics, as they are the most applicable courses for my major and have an interesting way of being applied to the real world. I would describe my teaching style to be very flexible and dependent on the...

...attaining a Master's in Public Health. I attended Creighton University for my undergraduate education, where I studied physics for two years before switching my major to philosophy. I never lost my love of math and logic though, and Creighton offered a mathematical logic minor that was perfect for my interests and learning style. This education, combined with my experience as a teacher in Creighton's "Philosophy for Children" program, has helped me to understand that teaching,...

I am currently attending California Institute of the Arts. I am studying art, as well as theatre and art management. Eventually, I hope to attend grad school for library science. My favorite subject to tutor in is math. I believe in life-long education, and I hope to impart that to the students I meet. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, crocheting, sewing, and hiking.

...them by simply looking at different strategies to approaching the subject material. I have come to understand that a great tutor is someone who can understand how a particular student learns and who works to explain the concept in a manner that encourages learning rather than tedious memorization. I believe I am aptly capable of doing so. Outside of my academic endeavors, I enjoy playing basketball and I am a DJ. I look forward to...

...a more difficult field. I find I get the strongest improvement in the reading and math sections. For STEM subjects specifically, my dual major allows me to communicate math ideas better than most other tutors. I also enjoy working on essays, and I often helped my friends in college with their papers. I'm particularly passionate about math and writing, and I believe that a teacher's enthusiasm in any field is infectious for the students. In...

...classes and pick up many different study skills, which I hope to be able to share by tutoring. I am a strong believer that any student is capable of learning anything. With motivation, resources, and help where needed, no academic subject is ever entirely out of reach. My goal as a tutor is to not only help students understand concepts or perform well on exams, but also develop skills that will help them succeed independently...

...of Analytics for a digital advertising agency. Math, statistics and economics have always been the subjects I enjoyed learning about the most and in which I excelled. This has led me to a career in the analytics field (though in varying industries) for the past 5 years. Since I'm currently in a program that focuses on mathematics, statistics and computer science, I am especially excited to get to tutor in these areas!... I believe it's very...

...Webster University in 2014. Since my graduation I have taught high school mathematics in both the public and private school environments, as well as continuing to tutor in my spare time. In the past, I have worked with students in a variety of subjects, most focusing on mathematics (pre-Algebra through Calculus and Statistics) and standardized test preparation. In my role as a tutor, my goal is two-fold: to review and reinforce previously taught material, and...

...a hands-on style that lets students work through problems with assistance first, and then on their own. This style allows the student to become confident in his/her knowledge of the material and face new problems with that same confidence. Each student is different and I do my best to quickly learn what works best for their learning style, and cater to that specific style. Outside of academia I currently work as a medical consultant and...

...from Princeton University with a B.A. in English literature, and I'm currently working on a master's in teaching (English) at Washington University. I believe that active, attentive listening, enthusiasm, and a sense of humor are all crucial to successful tutoring. I have extensive one-on-one tutoring experience, primarily in the areas of test prep (ACT, SAT) and English language/composition. I am always honored to help guide students on their endlessly fascinating intellectual journeys!

...In my free time, I like to read books, bake, and train for races; I recently completed my first half marathon! My approach to tutoring is recognizing that everyone has a different learning style. Experimenting with different approaches to learning, whether that be visual, auditory, or tactile- kinesthetic, enables the student to not only grasp the material, but also retain it. All it takes is exploring what works best for each individual.

...to witness is when someone realizes they have new skills in sounding out words (ESL/elementary reading) or now-found confidence to take on the ACT! I do appreciate the learning styles of children as I currently share time each week at a pediatric hospital helping kids learn and grow! I have a passion for helping students learn to the best of their abilities. Whether you are a struggling student or one who is looking for an...

...Basic Calculus. I believe that improvement comes with patience and persistence. By truly communicating with a student and understanding where he/she is struggling, we can insure improvement by teaching from the basics. I try to invoke in my students my passion for education and all of its opportunities. During my spare time, I like to play pick-up soccer, basketball, and table tennis. I also enjoy drumming, listening to all types of music, and socializing with...

...guide the student and to go beyond the example presented to prepare for tougher questions that may show up on exams. Aside from tutoring, I'm involved in a couple of nonprofits. I work for NoStigmas, a nonprofit dedicated to raise awareness about mental health and suicide prevention through peer support. It has been a humbling experience to get to know the NoStigmas community and encouraging others to share their story through our platform. I also...

...graduated with a Bachelors in Math Education and was able to work as a high school math teacher. I love math, but my favorite part of teaching was the students, most of whom despised math. I realized it was just because they didn't understand and/or didn't have the confidence in themselves to excel in it. I took that as a personal challenge, and looked forward to working one-on-one with my students. I was able to...
