Hi, I'm Lavontria! I've tutored for 12+ years and scored in the 99th percentile on both the SAT and ACT. I'm finishing my PhD, and I tutor the SAT, ACT, GRE, plus math and science. I don't just say "study harder", I teach repeatable strategies, like finding a passage's main idea fast or spotting math shortcuts that save time. I pay attention to how your brain learns and teach to that. Wherever you're starting from, that's where we begin, no judgment. Let's build your confidence and your score.

I'm here to not only help you in the classroom, but also to be a friend and help build your confidence in the topics you may be struggling with. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Education at Sam Houston State University. I strive to do the best I can in my academic career and so far I have achieved the President's List and Dean's List while being accepted into two honor's organizations during my first year of college. I've been a teacher's assistant in the past for elementary and middle school age children and absolutely loved it. Helping a student gain knowledge and explore their imagination in reading and writing is an awesome experience that I love being a part of. I have helped students with learning disabilities conquer their reading obstacles by finding solutions and fun activities to ensure the best learning path just for them. I hope to do the same through this online course for each student I get to work with and I cannot be more excited for this learning adventure.

As the son of a professional educator and as one who has enjoyed both teaching and learning as a lifelong passion, I believe that education has an intrinsic value as well as its ability to set students up for future success. Growing up, I had mild cerebral palsy and was mentored by some wonderful, supportive educators who instilled in me a strong self-esteem and the value of an education. My fifth-grade teacher, told me one day after I was quite frustrated with not being able to do some physical activities with the other children "You may never be able to go throw a football and run, but you have a brain, use it!" With that as my premise I now want to encourage students to use what they have to be able to achieve their maximum success.I actually began my tutoring career before I finished high school when I, somewhat accidentally began Tutoring a fellow student in my health class. I soon found out that I truly enjoyed helping others learn. Since then I have tutored while in college and when I have worked in mid management in grocery retail as I would help the high school and college students as they prepared for various classes and exams.I hold a Bachelor of Arts in History from Sam Houston State University and have completed 34 hours towards a Masters in Family Therapy from University of Houston Clear Lake.My favorite subjects to tutor are English, History, Social Studies, Special Education, Government and Economics. I have taught inclusion students in 6th grade Social Studies and the special needs students truly seemed to build a special connection with me as I also did with them. I also believe that there are natural correlations between the remaining subjects Social Studies is the study of various governments and this is covered in greater detail once students get into high school and study US Government and Economics. History (be in world, or United States), reaffirms lessons of the previously mentioned 3 subjects as well. Furthermore, in all these subjects, good reading and writing bis a necessity.

I am a graduate of Sam Houston State University where I received my Master of Education degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) and my Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) Certification. I did my undergraduate studies at Excelsior College where I earned a BA in Humanities with a focus on Cultural Studies. I also have an AA in Persian Farsi from the Defense Language Institute. Throughout my life I have traveled extensively and have gained an appreciation for all things. I have most recently taught middle school students in science and math and adults in San Angelo, TX looking to improve their English, and new military personnel training in their future job field. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about the Persian-Farsi Language, English, History, and Science. I enjoy helping students develop test taking strategies for Standardized Tests, grasping challenging subject matter, and reaching their full potential. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time I enjoy foreign language study, volunteering, exercising, and home renovation.

I have been an educator for 24 years and absolutely love to learn and help others learn! It is such a joy to watch students gain understanding and grow in their knowledge.

I'm reminded of an old saying from the first Karate Kid movie. A quote by Mr. Miyagi when teaching Karate to Daniel."There is no such thing as a bad student, only a bad teacher."I believe that's true for most teacher/student relationships, whether it's teaching Karate, English, or anything. The teacher has a profound influence on a student of any age, especially younger ones.That's why I am so passionate about teaching, and of students of all ages. The knowledge and experience I have obtained over the years should be handed down in a positive way so that in time, the student will be able to do the same thing. I love to see students succeed, not matter what the goal is needed no matter how big or small.I can remember one of my students who some time ago was preparing for a MS Word exam. She studied and came very close to passing on her first attempt. She did not give up, and on her second attempt she passed the exam with a much higher score. The look of excitement on her face and the feeling of achievement in her eyes made me feel so happy, because I did my job, and now she can move forward. This student was not a child, or a teenager, or even a person in their 30's and 40's. She is in her mid sixties, but she still felt a sense of accomplishment, and knowing that I guided her along the way is what satisfied me.The education I received helped her, and many other people, and it still helps others to this day.My educational experience includes:- Sam Houston State UniversityBA Marketing- The US Army-University of PhoenixMBA HR-My Computer Career IT CertsCompTIA A+ / Server+MTA Security, Server, Network.LPT Linux-ICT N. HoustonMS Word/Excel/PPT/Outlook/AccessI have been teaching these subjects and especially English for over 10 years. It all started in S. Korea as an ESL teacher, and now I teach at ICT N. Houston. Currently, I teach all MS certification prep classes, math, English, some accounting, science, and a few other things that come my way based on the students' needs. And when it comes to a favorite subject I like to teach; it doesn't matter. I will teach what the students need so they can achieve their goals.In conclusion, my teaching style is a bit of an older style, but hands on. The students will receive direction from me and then apply what they have learned for themselves with me helping and guiding them along the way. And as we work together, no matter the subject, we will achieve our goals.Thank you.

Learning is a habit. I grew up hearing that daily and it gradually sunk in as I progressed in school. I always enjoyed figuring out how things worked and why things happened, as my curiosity knew no bounds. As I matured, I discovered how to channel this curiosity into more productive avenues by working in study groups, helping friends answer their own questions which were usually quite similar this mine, This helped develop my confidence in teaching others through college, summer camps and medical school. I love working with different age groups as they all bring unique learning opportunities.My degrees have given me the skills to cover a wide range of subjects in the sciences and medicine, and to value each person I come across.

I went to college initially not knowing what I wanted to do with my life; I came out a horticulturalist. I worked at a vineyard, owned by a family who then opened up a winery, so I then became a winemaker. I had a blast and was successful, but about five years into my career I had to stop and reevaluate my life. Was this really what I wanted?I was about twenty-four when I decided I wanted to really figure out what I wanted. It was difficult. I had to do some real soul searching. At twenty-five, I quit my job as a winemaker and moved back to Houston, close to my family. I toyed with a few different ideas, but I finally figured out what I really want.

I love tutoring students as it gives me immense pleasure to see my students succeed. Due to my educational background, my strengths include patience and being able to understand how each student processes information. This helps me in modifying my method of teaching to cater to the unique needs of my students. I am familiar with tutoring in subjects until Grade -4, which includes elementary English, Math, and Science. I also tutor in psychology. When I work with new students, I believe in creating rapport with them. This is important for me as it facilitates learning and also makes it easier for the student to honestly communicate their needs without the fear of being judged. I mostly work from the perspective of student-focused teaching and instructor-focused teaching depending on the topic being taught. I believe that active learning is very helpful for kids to gauge their level of understanding. Since I mostly work with elementary students, my teaching strategies include the use of videos, games, puzzles, crosswords, explanations, diagrams, and assessments. As a tutor, my strengths include patience (to help the student repeatedly and patiently when they reach a roadblock), adaptability (to change my teaching methods depending on the individual needs of the student), and empathy (to relate to the student, to understand their concerns and if required to motivate them to reach their goals).
