I teach Algebra at iCademy Dubai, the premier American virtual school in the Middle East. I have my own online tutoring business and work with students from many of the best international schools in the Middle East.

I use the combination of Skype and an interactive whiteboard so that I can work directly with my students. We work both face to face and on the collaborative whiteboard. I can my student work on problems and I can also demonstrate how to solve problems. The student will need to have a laptop or desktop computer and internet connection. I am happy to do a free demonstration lesson.

• Melissa teaches SAT Maths through online video chat. I was sceptical at first whether I would be able to understand online rather than face-to-face, but Melissa is a good teacher and it worked out for me. She had many strategies to teach me and get me ready for the SAT.

• Melissa has been my tutor for over a year. She first helped me with the SAT. I learned many good strategies from her. Now, I am at University and she has tutored me in many classes such as English, Psychology, and Citizenship. In each of these classes, she has made the learning very personal and specific to my needs. Melissa is very professional and knows her subject well. Over time, we have built a strong relationship and I appreciate her support and encouragement.

• She’s a really good teacher. She helped me increase my SAT scores to 700+ in each. I really recommend her. You won’t regret her.

• Melissa has very excellent style in the teaching , my son liked her way of the explanation. In the beginning I was worried because my son used to have face to face tutor and never tried some remote tutor but Melissa has showed fantastic way of the explanation. In 13 sessions we did not feel any difference between remote or face to face tutor. I am going to continue with Melissa with my second son in the SAT. Thanks Melissa for your great efforts, it is really appreciated.

• I took the IELTS three times. I had tried to prepare myself and then I went to an institute but I needed to improve my score. With Melissa, I received customized instruction and flexibility with timing. We focused only on the bands that I needed to work on. It is more convenient to work online from my home than attend a class. I could understand the guidelines Melissa suggested rather than follow the many rules of writing and speaking dictated by the institute. Melissa has helped me to improve for IELTS Exam by focusing on my weaknesses.

Hi! I may not have the typical French accent - they say my English accent can sound posh sometimes - , I will nonetheless happily teach you how to say "Croissant" in the most Parisian way. Thanks to more than two years of experience coaching and teaching French to a range of various profiles, coming from diverse social and professional categories - expats settling in France, foreign students in exchange, businessmen and businesswomen -, I can adapt and tailor my lessons to your needs!

Tutoring Approach

The most important element of my courses is that I can customise my lessons depending on the profile of my students and their needs, identify their weaknesses, and improve their interactional skills so that they can confront any situation confidently. Also, never forget that the more mistakes you will do, the more you will learn. We only learn by doing mistakes!

BA (hons) and PGCE

Experience

I have been a teacher for more than twenty years having gained my Bachelor's and my Post Graduate Teaching qualifications at St.Martin's College in the UK. I have been very fortunate to have worked with some inspirational children and young people. I am a relentlessly positive problem solver and I truly believe that everybody can improve their performance and increase progress given the right kind of support. I have a particular specialism for helping students in preparation for GCSEs especially in History, Geography, English, Business Studies and Psychology. I have taught children of all ages and all abilities including those with additional needs.

Tutoring Approach

In my approach I try to strike a balance by working with the student to formulate a learning plan with clear outcomes and a time frame for achieving targets along with an informal approach to the lessons themselves. I find that students make much more progress when they are relaxed and comfortable and so I value building a constructive working relationship based on mutual respect and trust.

Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology, Master of Science in Urban and Regional Planning

Experience

I am an American tutor from Atlanta, Georgia, USA. I came to Dubai more than 10 years ago as a teacher for the Princeton Review of Dubai. Since that time, I have also worked in Bangkok, Thailand for UAE universities and as a freelancer. I have taught basically for any American entrance exam, you can think of. To help my students even more, I started offering "tuitions" regularly throughout the year (American and IB curricula). I work with students as young as 7 and students as old as 40.

Tutoring Approach

For test preparation (SAT, GMAT, etc.), I have a curriculum I have prepared based on my 10 years in test preparation and the best techniques from the Princeton Review, Veritas Prep, and Kaplan. I provide the official study guide book, strategy notes that guide our lessons, supplemental worksheets, homework, and practice tests. During our lessons, we go over a technique for a specific section of the test together, work practice problems, do drills (timed individual practice with a group of problems) and discuss homework. Practice tests are assigned on a regular basis to continually access your progress. For general subject support ("tuitions"), my broad subject knowledge makes it easy for me to help students with math for one hour and history (for example) for another hour so parents can maximize the help they receive from 1 tutor.

Education

M.Sc (International Business), BS (Software Engineering).

Experience

My teaching experience is not very extensive but it is certainly diversified. I have had opportunity to interact with students from various academic levels and backgrounds. I basically focus on key concepts and student's strength to target the areas where a student is struggling. Since Mathematics, Physics, Biology and English are my strong suits therefore I give huge emphasis on real life examples and encourage my students to research using the internet and other mediums.

Tutoring Approach

I believe teaching is a two way street and based on this idea I initially involve all of my students in researching and understanding different concepts on their own. My entire session is steered by the student where he feels comfortable in discussing and shairng his concept without any limitations. For students facing difficulties in understanding, I would break down the information into smaller and less complicated pieces where they would easily comprehend the entire string of information.

Experience

I am a Secondary English teacher who was born and trained in the UK. I teach English Language and Literature but I have taught Media before. I studied at the University of Westminster and UCL: Institute of Education. I am currently studying for my Masters in Creative Writing.

I currently teach Edexcel IGCSE English Language and Literature but I have experience teaching AQA GCSE and Cambridge iGCSE and AQA A-Level.  I do have a 100% pass rate at GCSE English  and therefore I do usually charge 200-250 AED an hour or 450 AED - 500 AED for two hours. I am willing to negotiate or offer discount for bulk bookings.

Tutoring Approach

Tutoring depends on the student rather than the teacher. Lessons are planned based on what the student requires, their age and their target/goal. As I have been trained at the acclaimed UCL: Institute of Education in the UK, my lessons include a range of actives - both active and passive depending on the student's needs. The tutor's role is not to write an essay for their student but to prepare them and help them write for themselves.
