Award-Winning PSAT Tutors serving Bellevue, NE

As a tutor, my goal is to build my student's confidence by improving their study habits, critical thinking skills, and problem solving ability. This is achieved by a general assessment in the subject in question followed by analysis of such assessment. Following assessment, the student and I will work on the areas he or she is struggling in. Previous experience has taught me that no student learns exactly the same and I strive to find...

I have always been very passionate about learning. Growing up hiking and exploring, my fascination with the natural world was at the forefront of my educational goals. I was always curious about the mixed deciduous forest in my backyard or the rock quarries my friends and I went to on school breaks.

The best math teacher I ever had always reminded us she was a history major in college because she struggled with math. Because she had struggled, she was able to remember what it was like not to understand the material - something other teachers can forget.

At both my undergraduate and graduate institutions, almost all of my homework consisted of reading texts or writing papers. Therefore I have continuously enhanced my English composition skills. I know how to read and analyze texts quickly without losing content. Reworking information I've read together with my own thoughts is now second nature to me. I make my writing particularly clear by my impeccable understanding of English grammar, which I gained through extensive practice and...

I then went on to complete a Masters program at Georgetown University in human physiology. Given the amount of schooling I have gone through myself, I have taken a wide range of subjects and more standardized tests than I would like to admit. I have taught students of almost every age in various fields...

One of my strengths, and one of the reasons that I am good at test taking, is my ability to organize information. It's a skill I use both in my academic life, as well as professionally; as a stage manager, it is often my job to take in complicated and conflicting pieces of information (the blocking, a quick change in costumes, changes in a script) and quickly organize that information so that I can convey...

...of the longest side of a right triangle "ABC" (Pythagorean theorem), they will show 2 examples in class without explaining why side "C" is "C". Then on standardized test, the sides are now labeled "EFG", and the child struggles to properly choose the correct inputs to the equation. Memorizing formulas is good, but understanding how and why is better. Answers are good, but repeatable problem solving skills are better. Doing practice tests is good, but...

I am currently a doctoral candidate in clinical psychology, but I have been tutoring ever since I was in elementary school. Because not everyone learns the same way, I feel that it is easy for students to miss certain tidbits or whole subjects in the classroom, and it can quickly feel like it is too late to catch up. My goal is to work together to pick up the pieces that were lost or are...

...purely in this fashion, I try to make my lessons focus on principles and processes, creating a deeper understanding of the facts presented in class or in the textbook. I find that this technique works very well with math and physics, where understanding the theory is often the key to being able to see a problem and find the right path to a solution. I also try to apply this method to test preparation, so...
