Award-Winning Latin Tutors serving Johns Creek, GA

...am Stephen Birt. A graduate of Georgia State University with a focus in Mathematics. In fact, Georgia State is where I was exposed to the practice of tutoring. I spent time with the Physics department, tutoring students in Kinematic Physics curricula and assisting professors with exams. Aside from this experience, I have taken a host of courses outside of my focus, such as Latin, Mythologies, and Religious Studies.. I would say that I have a...

...am a creative minded individual who aspires for much in life. I have been tutoring on and off for most of my life. I started with Kumon and taught very young children how to read. I have also coached students for the GRE, SAT, and ACT. Teaching has always been a passion of mine. I am a kind and patient tutor, able to assess strengths and weaknesses of a student quickly and motivating them with...

As a tutor, I approach each student differently as all students have the capability to learn well, but each student learns differently. I like to take time to engage the student not only with problems to solve, but also with conversation making sure that they not only understand each step in the process, but also are able to apply what they learn in their own unique way to perform well and grow as students.

I teach taking into account the individual ability of the student to grasp the information. For instance, I would give a suitable or a related example so that the student would understand the new concept by drawing a parallel with what they know already. This would ensure their cognition and also high retention.

I have been tutoring students in math for 5 years both privately and for other companies. My favorite subject to tutor would be a tie between algebra and geometry. I am currently working to obtain my degree from Georgia Gwinnett College in Secondary Education with a focus in Mathematics. With my degree, I want to start out as a high school math teacher while I continue my education up to a doctorate in mathematics.

...academic careers. Young and impressionable minds require a certain degree of flexibility in guidance and instructional techniques that take the individuality of the students into account. Another point of consideration is the collective flow of student progress in the classroom environment. Certain student progress at a slower pace than that of their classmates, and this disparity in advancement can foster frustration and disrupt the desired synergy that nurtures the learning environment. Teachers must be willing...

...college for biology and music courses, and I also have experience preparing students for standardized tests. My approach to tutoring is not to simply teach the material, but also to give my students the tools and strategies they need to teach themselves. Since everyone learns differently, I adjust my teaching style to match how each of my students learn, and I enjoy the challenge of coming up with new ways to explain concepts and problems.
