Tutoring Experience
I have over 3 years of experience tutoring both middle and high school students in English, mathematics, science, and SAT preparation. As an IB graduate, I’ve mentored students throughout the entire IB process, starting from teaching pre-IB Diploma Programme lessons all the way to preparing them for exams. In one instance, I helped a student improve his IB MYP Mathematics average grade from a level 4 to a level 6 through intensive weekly lessons. Additionally, I have experience working one-on-one with international students applying to highly selective universities in the United States of America, advising them on their applications and editing their personal statements.
Tutoring Approach
History and English Tuition Approach
Success in History and English is often dependent upon a student’s critical reading and analytical writing skills. These are difficult to develop overnight — after all, a skill cannot be acquired through rote memorization. I will constructively critique and examine my student’s essays and written responses, giving individual advice on how to develop their language, prose, and critical thinking abilities. Although I will be giving most of the feedback, my student’s feedback is equally important; as a student-centered tutor, I constantly strive to personalize my lessons to a student’s skill sets, interests, and requests.
SAT Tuition Approach
Students will first take a diagnostic test to determine strengths and weaknesses pertaining to the SAT. After identifying key areas of improvement, I will work closely with the student in order to prepare them for all possible topic areas covered in the exam. Students will also take official practice tests at scheduled intervals to familiarize themselves with the test and to measure progress. While the SAT tests a student’s understanding of academic subjects, it also measures how good that student is at taking the SAT itself. That’s why I will focus on teaching students effective testing skills and strategies to maximize their potential for success.
