Duration : per hour - Price : $15.00 - Place : Harleysville (19438)I give lessons to any age, there are no barriers with which we won't be able to make a connection. The lessons will be logical, structured, and really no tricks. There are lessons for tests, and tests are made to trick you a few times, to make you feel nervous. We will have several ways to attack that when it comes up. Techniques, are making sure that whatever is thrown at you, that you don't do what I have seen before, crumple the test, and chunk it. I have methods to calm anyone down in a situation like "panic mode". My instructions are all tailored to your needs, and what we need to tackle, and this is taken on as a "we" thing, and all the credit.. goes to you ! Because it's your hard work, and faith in my methods. They are tried, true, and tested.
Course setup
I have been giving back my gift ever since I have been aware of it back in the 3rd grade. That means in terms of years, I have helped so many. (52 years) giving instruction, tutoring, advising, financial and tax planning. How many have I taught , oh my, it is more than 4,000, young to old. Now we go to results, and really I don't talk about me so much, but here goes. 4,000 is my best guess, which includes more than half as a prepared income tax return, actually the number of tax returns I have done to help the people save money, 3,500. (with refunds amounting to a cool total of $ 4,000,000), My fees were set by what forms were used, not on their refund. That leaves 500 that I have coached in mostly Math and English, with the intention of them passing the GED exam. There were 7 in particular who were difficult to reach, and those were the guys who were in jail and they knew of me, so they extended a hand, that's all I needed. I gave all 7 the gift of proving that anything, and everything is possible ! All 7 passed their GED on their first try. There was a kid in 6th grade, he got F on every test, every subject. He got bullied, labeled, you name it he just took it, befriended no one. Well I was challenged to try and tutor him to do 2 things get anything passable on a test, and a passing grade in one course. 9 week qtrs. 2 weeks already into, did I panic, no, I smiled. The key to any learning is to have a connection from tutor to client and from client to subject matter. It was math. His best score in math that year, was 41 % out of 100 %. This was before online tutoring, I went over to his house, he opened the door, and in a soft steady voice, I said I don't have too many friends, and would he mind if we could like hang out ? He showed me into his room, He liked matchbox cars, I noticed. He stopped for a minute, and said, his father said that a tutor was coming, was I the tutor ? I told him yes, but I already know we can make some magic with this math. He said, yeah easy for me to say, he fails all the time , and I'm always at the top. So I asked him , how about you and I and your matchbox cars take this math, and just crush the math car. matchbox, good thing, "math box" missing what I asked him ? He said .the "C" I said, See ! you just solved your first deduction problem, and the grade on your next test. He said what ? I said it will be a "C". For the first time ever in that kid's life, he did get a c. Followed up by a B-,C+,C,C+.... then the qtr, came down to a comprehensive test. I saw he was all nervous, sweating. I said, hey, I know, tomorrow for the test, you bring your favorite matchbox car. I said that is your getaway if you get too nervous. his final test.. B-. grade for the Qtr. C-
