Elementary (K-6th)

I have experience teaching elementary students English and Mathematics at two elementary schools in the Inglewood Unified School District, namely Worthington Elementary School and Bennet-Kew Elementary School, as an AMERICORPS Student-Teacher. AmeriCorps is a voluntary civil society program supported by the U.S. federal government, foundations, corporations, and other donors engaging adults in public service work with a goal of "helping others and meeting critical needs in the community." I am also a reader/rater for the California Assessment Science Test (CAST) (2109) and the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) for the College Board/Educational Testing Service, and formerly a reader/rater for the SAT standardized examination for the College Board/Educational Testing Service. The CAST and STAAR are highly regarded elementary school standardized examinations in science and English, and are developed by the same educational testing service responsible for the development of the SAT standardized examination.

I continue to teach mathematics today as a professional, preparing students for the rigorous mathematics sections on the SAT and ACT standardized examinations.

Homeschool,

Homeschool

I have previously worked with homeschool students, especially with respect to standardized examination preparation. I create personalized academic plans for homeschool students to maximize the effectiveness of each and every lesson in the short term and the long term. Homeschool students especially interest me as I feel that I can leverage the wider latitude of time they have compared to traditionally schooled students to develop a holistic academic plan that will benefit them whether they ultimately decide to pursue a career path in the arts or the sciences.
Phonics,

Phonics

I have experience with phonics from my language curriculum in elementary school to coursework in a Teaching English as a Second Language certificate from the University of California, Irvine-Extension. As an experienced ESL/ESOL classroom teacher and private tutor, I am well aware of the importance of phonics in any curriculum designed to instruct language reading and writing. I am a reader/rater for the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) and the California Assessment Science Test (CAST). Both the STAAR and the CAST are highly regarded elementary school standardized examinations administered by the College Board/Educational Testing Service, and attest to my knowledge in the field of phonics insofar as both measure language aptitude at the elementary school level.

I was a constructed response scorer for the SAT for an educational testing service responsible for the development of the SAT examination.

Vocabulary

Vocabulary

I am an avid student of English vocabulary, and I always tell my students that when they come across a word they don't know, they will develop exactly one of two habits: a habit of looking up words they don't know or a habit of not looking up words they don't know. I instruct them that they are better off developing a good habit rather than a bad one. I was a constructed response scorer for the SAT for the educational testing service directly responsible for the development of the SAT examination. I was employed by this prestigious organization to score essays from actual SAT examinations administered across the United States and the rest of the world. I remain to be employed by this organization to score the California Assessment Science Test (CAST) and the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR).

My best scoring ACT English pupil scored a Perfect 36 (99th percentile). And, my best improved ACT English pupil increased his score from a 20 (50th percentile) to a 29 (90th percentile) after about seven lessons, which did not focus exclusively on the English component. Despite that the ACT English test is a grammar test, insofar as the test remains to be an English test nonetheless, the multiple-choice format of the exam, which presumes a universality in answers, presents a complication in the context of English as not having universal answers for the questions it asks. My best performing ACT pupil scored a Composite score of 35 (99th percentile). And, my best improved ACT pupil increased his Composite score from a 27 (87th percentile) to a 31 (97th percentile).

ACT Reading

My best scoring ACT Reading pupil scored a Perfect 36 (99th percentile). My best improved ACT Reading pupil increased her score from a 23 (66th percentile) to a 32 (95th percentile). The ACT Reading has always been a point of interest for me insofar as it is a locus of an intersection between subjective textual interpretation and objective standardized testing. My best performing ACT pupil scored a Composite score of 35 (99th percentile). And, my best improved ACT pupil increased his Composite score from a 27 (87th percentile) to a 31 (97th percentile).

Test Preparation

ACT English,

ACT English

My best scoring ACT English pupil scored a Perfect 36 (99th percentile). And, my best improved ACT English pupil increased his score from a 20 (50th percentile) to a 29 (90th percentile) after about seven lessons, which did not focus exclusively on the English component. Despite that the ACT English test is a grammar test, insofar as the test remains to be an English test nonetheless, the multiple-choice format of the exam, which presumes a universality in answers, presents a complication in the context of English as not having universal answers for the questions it asks. My best performing ACT pupil scored a Composite score of 35 (99th percentile). And, my best improved ACT pupil increased his Composite score from a 27 (87th percentile) to a 31 (97th percentile).
ACT Math,

ACT Math

My best performing ACT Math pupil scored a 35 (99th percentile) on the ACT Math.

My best performing ACT pupil scored a Composite score of 35 (99th percentile). And, my best improved ACT pupil increased his Composite score from a 27 (87th percentile) to a 31 (97th percentile).
ACT Science,

ACT Science

My best scoring ACT Science pupil scored a 35 (99th percentile). I especially enjoy teaching the ACT Science section as it is unlike any other subject I have studied, both in high school and college. Also, it is critical to recognize that the ACT Science test seems to be more like a logic test that just so happens to operate open scientific charts and graphs insofar as there is no prerequisite scientific knowledge required for it. My best performing ACT pupil scored a Composite score of 35 (99th percentile). And, my best improved ACT pupil increased his Composite score from a 27 (87th percentile) to a 31 (97th percentile).

In particular, I have helped high school students develop strong college admissions applications essays, complete strong college admissions applications in general, as well as provided expert advice on the requirements various universities have regarding standardized testing procedures for admissions and how best to satisfy such requirements. I believe that career development is highly impacted in earlier years, in particular during the transition from high school to an undergraduate program. I believe that this is true whether or not a student eventually graduates from an undergraduate program of study.
CBEST,

CBEST

I passed the June 2011 administration of the CBEST examination. As such, I am familiar with the content of the examination, as well as appropriate methodologies in the course of preparation for it.

I am a standardized examination professional employed with the College Board/Educational Testing Service, and have worked in the SAT Department, the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) Department, as well as the California Assessment Science Test (CAST) Department.

My best success story as a College Counselor was when, during our first lesson, I advised a high school student, whose first choice was to attend the University of Alabama, to submit additional standardized testing documentation to the university for consideration, which she had previously decided not to do. The next morning, she received an email from the University of Alabama notifying her that she had been admitted as an undergraduate student to the university for the next Fall term!

GMAT

I am familiar with the format of the GMAT examination, and the techniques necessary to perform well on the examination. As with other American standardized examinations, the GMAT purports to assess a person's competencies in basic academic subjects in the context of a multiple-choice format to determine his or her likelihood for success in post-graduate study.

MCAT,

MCAT

I have previously trained students for the English section of the MCAT. My observations pertaining to the English section of the MCAT is that it is sufficiently distinct from the English section of the LSAT or even the SAT and the ACT. The thought processes involved in reasoning for the MCAT English are unique and surprisingly unlike other major American standardized examinations. There is a marked emphasis on the evaluation and determination of inferences and resultant corresponding implications from hypothetical and constructed scenarios.

Great experience!

Clement is an exceptional tutor. He mainly worked on SAT Essay writing with me, and he helped me go from a 7 to an 11 (out of 12). I got in touch with him only four weeks before my test date, but he utilized the short time he had with me very well. He provided very helpful and specific advice on how to improve my essay writing, and he gave me an earnest pep talk the last session we had before my test. I scored a 1590 on the SAT (790 in Reading/Writing and 800 in Math) and a 22/24 on the Essay section. I would have not been able to score so high without Clement's help. Thank you so much, Clement! It was a pleasure to work with you!
