Fairmont, NC ACT Tutors

Description: Hi! My name is Tricia. I have a about 5 years of experience tutoring over 80 students from elementary to college age. I'm currently a practicing engineer at a medical device company and tutor in my free time. It's something I truly love to do, there's nothing better than witnessing the "light bulb" moment.

Through participating in a biomedical engineering curriculum, I learned to critically think about different subjects and how they relate to each other, which I use to tutor and help students understand. I also aim to instill critical thinking techniques when teaching, allowing students to move away from memorization and towards logical thinking and problem solving, which in turn helps them retain the information and score better on exams.

When tutoring I try to incorporate a comfortable and fun environment to promote learning. I feel that the more comfortable one is when learning, the more beneficial the lesson will be. I try to build my students' confidence in order for them to feel comfortable asking questions and communicating their weaknesses. In this way I try to direct my teaching to each student's learning style and learning rate. I also try to promote good organization and study techniques, which I feel are important in order to focus one's attention and provide for clearer thinking.

I am confident that my experience will be well suited for your goals. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I hope to hear from you soon and help you in your success!      << View Less

Description: I don't want to clutter you with the many subjects that I CAN teach. I want to tell you about the subject I'm an expert at: SAT and ACT. I help high school students increase their scores so they can get into their schools of choice and get top scholarship money, which saves their parents potentially thousands on the cost of college. I've worked with one of the top tutoring companies in NYC who would charge $400/50minute session. I learned a lot from that experience and want to bring that to you at a much more affordable rate. My scores are ACT: 34/36 SAT: 2400/2400 superscore (My scores helped me get into Duke University, earn a full tuition scholarship to Colgate U and a Full-Ride (Tuition and Room&Board + free laptop) to The College of New Jersey) I've also received 800's on the Math IIc and Physics subject tests, and 11 perfect scores on Advanced Placement Exams, so I'm a test taking pro. In addition to this, I integrate valuable life lessons rarely taught or even mentioned in primary school and college that help students become more successful and balanced people in the real world. My students continually come back to me and thank me for showing them these quick and simple tools in stress management and productivity. I call it the Holistic Approach or Whole-Person Centered Tutoring. Get a FREE SAT & ACT consultation and learn why these tests offer the easiest way for juniors to get into college and the easiest way to get top scholarships! TRY ME RISK-FREE, too! If the student doesn't learn anything or doesn't feel I'm a good fit, you don't have to pay me! I'm physically based in Rochester, NY but with Skype have been tutoring online for the past year without a hitch. Learn more about the advantages of online tutoring.      << View Less

Description: Are you struggling with the ACT or SAT, or are you looking for a bit of a boost on your scores to gain an edge with college admissions? In that case, I believe I can help you out: I'm Katarina, a high school senior who scored both a 36 on my ACT and 2400 on my SAT in 2014. Only a handful of students in the entire nation accomplish a perfect score on both tests each year, but practicing specific strategies and keeping in mind certain tips can dramatically improve performance. As a student who recently took these tests, I understand the typical problems high school students encounter on these tests and how to resolve them. Scoring highly on the ACT or SAT doesn't reflect inherent intelligence or makes one a child prodigy: it simply demonstrates how good one is at taking the ACT and SAT, and I believe anyone can do well with the correct approach. Proof of scores can be provided upon request. A complimentary "tips" packet will be provided with the first tutoring session. I can also provide advice on how the two tests compare and which one you or your child should take- contrary to popular belief, the ACT and SAT are not equivalent at all, and each suits different types of students better. I have practice tests and prep books that the tutee and I can use, but I can also work with books that you bring yourself if you prefer them. Please contact me with any questions or additional information about locations and pricing. 

Availability: Please contact me for availability. During the summer and on holidays, I am available any day of the week as long as I am not traveling; during the school year, I can tutor after school most days (after 2:30 P.M.) or on weekends.      << View Less

I have taken formal coursework in education and understand that we all have different learning styles and that there is no one single approach that will work for everyone. As such, I am flexible and adaptable as a tutor.

I look forward to working with you and your individual educational needs!      << View Less
