The Lakeway Tutor

I offer a variety of services. listed below. I will be glad to discuss various options with parents and students in order to achieve what is desired. I do not tutor reading and writing.

SAT, and ACT exam preparation

I only tutor the math portion of the SAT and ACT tests. What I do is to give the student a sample test to work on at home. I tell the student not to guess at the answers and to note the problems they have trouble with. At the next session, I will grade the sample test and then work on the problems that the student has trouble with.

I also show the student a few tricks that might come in handy also.

Homework support

Homework support is exactly what it says. I help the student with any math homework that they have. I will help the student learn how to work the homework problems, but I will not work the students assigned problems for them.

General tutoring

In general tutoring, I expect to meet with the student at least once a week to determine where the student is having problems in class. I will attempt to keep the student caught up with his class and in some cases teach the student skills that will be introduced in class in the future.

General tutoring is probably the best method to insure the student learns all the skills necessary and should be started before the student gets into trouble.

Chemistry and Physics tutoring

Much of Chemistry and Physics is reading and remembering the material in the textbook. However, there are many problems and concepts in Physics and Chemistry that use math extensively. I am able to help the student work and discuss these types of math oriented problems. If I am tutoring a student in math, I will also be able to help explain most of the Chemistry and Physics problems.
