"Amazing depth of knowledge"
- Stephanie, Marquette, MI on 9/21/15Even after accessing online tutorials and after-school teacher help, my son was very concerned that he could not grasp the physics concepts. Mr. George patiently explained the formulas and concepts and gave him problem solving strategies. My son has renewed enthusiasm and confidence in physics class.
"A True Teacher"
- Dave, Holland, MI on 11/25/13George is better than advertised. My daughter is using him via Facetime for help with AP Physics and really likes the way he works with her. He had her textbook on his shelf! George is a professional teacher and gets my highest endorsement!
"good results with tutor"
- Jeri, Plainfield, IL on 12/16/10I've been waiting to review until my daughter got her final grade. She felt, after the review, that she had a better understanding of concepts. George was able to explain well. Overall, she felt very good after the 2 sessions with him. She has received her final exam grade in physics - 85/100 - a huge improvement from her midterm! She does not have her final grade in the class yet, but she is thrilled with the exam grade. Many Thanks!
Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
ACT Math
Once you understand how to do math then the ACT exam becomes more of a game of strategy to show that you really know how to do the math. I enjoy teaching thia part of the process.
ACT Science
This exam is more about strategy than knowledge. Learning the strategy for the science test is a better use of time and effort than having first hand knowledge of the subject material. The ability to comprehend the type of question and to read for comprehension is the key to doing well at this part of the ACT.
Algebra 1
Algebra is basically language. The key is learning what you can and cannot do and it's a very comfortable and fulfilling subject to teach.
Algebra 2
Algebra 2 is just taking algebra 1 and raising it to a bit higher level. All the answers are there and its fun to teach others how to get to them.
Chemistry
Chemistry is the left and to physic's right hand. I enjoy it because it is the first science class that most people see with math included.
Geometry
I love geometry. If you look at the problems they are more like opportunities to show your skills and the more of them you do the easier they become.
Physical Science
This is a combination of physics and chemistry but at a very elementary level. It is fun to teach since it has many different examples to choose from.
Physics
My major in college and what I taught the most in high school and college.
Precalculus
This is where algebra, geometry and trigonometry mingle together and form a multi level exercise in mathematics. I enjoy the challenge and try to impart that excitement to my students.
Trigonometry
An nice combination of geometry and algebra. A very useful skill to have for "real" life mathematics. A very appliable math for science and especially physics. Usually easy to teach and comprehend.
