Accuplacer

Accuplacer

I am a test prep whiz and I have been a full time tutor for over a decade. I have helped over 20 students and counting successfully take college placement tests. I am familiar with the Accuplacer exam questions and have access to some key study materials that help students with these practice questions.

ADHD

ADHD

I have tutored several high school students (ages 15 all the way to early 40s) in the Dallas metroplex (Rockwall and Garland) in English and in Algebra. All of those students have received an "A" in his or her course. I have helped them be successful in their classes/courses. My strategy was to always be very brief in my explanation of the concept and focus on his or her kin esthetic ability or desire (the desire to move while learning). I accomplished this by showing an example of a problem and then having him or her simulate what I have just done. This worked very well for all of the ADD/ADHD students that I have had. I approach each student and determine what in particular causes their attention deficiency. I hone in on this and make learning fun and steer away from techniques that are "boring" to them which, as a result, may trigger their ADD/ADHD.

Hard of Hearing

Hard of Hearing

I am very patient with students that are hard at hearing and/or need more detailed instruction and help with their classes. I have worked with a student in the past who had difficulty hearing and I emphasized a system that allowed the student to utilize her other senses (such as sight and touch) to compensate for her deficiency in hearing.

Excellent in Every Way!!!

Simone is the answer to our prayers!! She has been most helpful in so many ways. My daughter LOVES her to death!! Hanna has a teacher that speaks and rushes though her lessons and leaves Hanna lost and confused. Simone is able to explain the lessons in a different way to where Hanna can grasp each and every concept. We are so pleased with Simone!!!

Thank you. It was a pleasure to work with Hanna!!

Patient and Understanding

I’d like to give a big shoutout to Ms. Simone for helping me pass my asvab, with a 37! For about a year give or take I was struggling and she really helped me with a better understanding of math as a whole. She was very patient and understanding! I would recommend her to anyone in and subject.

excellent teacher

I tutored with Simone daily for a month to prepare for my ASVAB. We met once a week in person and 3 other days onlins. I started with a score of 49% and made it to 67% with her help. She was able to teach me a lot of different things I had trouble remembering with in math. Her way of teaching and explaining is also incredibly easy to understand. It was up to me to practice and teach myself the conceps more and more, and with all the practice I had gotten, and I ended up scoring higher than I expected. Now I am able to choose pretty much any job I want thanks to her help. Tutoring is a very useful tool with the right person, and being able to learn from her made me less anxious going into the exam.

Teas 7 science tutor

Simone and I reviewed the science section for the TEAS 7, specifically anatomy and chemistry. She gave me tips about an app to use that helped me the most. With that app I was able to make my own practice tests. I ended up being successful on my Teas!

excellent teacher

Her help has lead me towards achieving progress I'd never imagined! She explains very clearly and in a way that people with certain learning capabilities are able to understand more clearly. I struggled with the ASVAB, and her approach to teaching me just clicks in my brain more than other teachers have. She does her best to work around schedule too. She is overall just a good tutor and cares about taking it easy.
