GMAT/GRE/TOEFL/IELTS/SAT Tutors in Doha

Education

US Teaching Credential, Masters in Teaching

Experience

I am American teacher with 15 years of teaching and tutoring experience. U.S. Certified High School and Middle School Teacher with a Masters in Teaching. I specialize in SAT, GRE and IELTS prep and have helped over 100 students improve their SAT, GRE and IELTS scores. 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 prefer to be contacted through WhatsApp with the same mobile number.

Tutoring Approach

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 virtual collaborative whiteboard. We can work on practice tests together 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.

I didn’t know any techniques or strategies about the SAT. Our school didn’t give us any help with the format or structure of the SAT. My friend highly recommended Melissa but I was skeptical. I had never done online tutoring and I was worried about the technical problems. I didn’t know if it would work. It is actually super interactive through the whiteboard and face to face video which is super helpful. There are almost no technical problems and the one time we did have a problem, Melissa had a backup app so we could continue the lesson no problem. She makes me feel confident and she is positive and encouraging which is motivating. I increased my score 220 points after working with Melissa. If you want to really improve your score, hire Melissa!

I wanted to improve my SAT grade and Melissa was highly recommended to me by a friend. I like how she breaks down the Math problems and then makes me do an extra problem to help me really understand the concept. She is very flexible and focuses on my weaknesses which helps a lot. She creates a cheat sheet to help me remember the strategies I need to use. I was nervous about online tutoring, but it turned out better than face to face tutoring. We don’t waste time so it’s more productive. After working with Melissa, my SAT improved by 100 points! I felt like the tutoring sessions were worth the money my parents spent.

I couldn't organize my thoughts clearly on my college essays. I didn't know what to include or what type of format to follow. With Melissa's assistance, I was immediately at ease. She reassured me and tackled each problem from the start. My writing skills and technique improved. The stress with your school work, tests, or college applications will significantly decrease with Melissa’s help. The way Melissa explains writing, the questions she asks and the guidelines she provides makes writing easier and you will discover your own unique writing style. These lessons also help me in my high school classes such as Literature and Speech. I'm eternally grateful for Melissa's help.

I've worked with Melissa to get the score band I was looking for in IELTS. Actually, she is very specific and well organized, she tailors a study plan focusing on the student's weaknesses and enhances his/her confidence to achieve the goal. Furthermore, studying online is way more convenient than going to an institute, and Melissa makes it even easier as she is very flexible on timing and sessions' schedule.

I didn’t know how to approach the ACT at first, my math skills were very low. Melissa guided me through each question and helped me understand the strategies to get a high score. Not only that, but she helped me with the IELTS test, and my writing skills improved tremendously and eventually I achieved high scores. I’m truly grateful for her aid and couldn’t have asked for a more a better equipped teacher. She also helped me with my college applications which really reduced my stress. I promise you won’t regret her tutoring you.

Melissa has been helping my daughter, who attends the American School of Doha, to prepare for the SAT by giving her practice questions, tips, and strategies. Melissa has also been helping my daughter to improve her reading and writing skills in general.  Melissa is friendly, dynamic, and professional. My daughter felt comfortable with her from the beginning.  Melissa is an excellent tutor who I highly recommend!

She is a very good teacher and the way she teaches can be understood easily.

Education

IELTS Speaking Certified, CELTA teaching certificate, 12 years teaching experience in 5 countries

Experience

I'm a native speaker from the United States and I've been teaching professionally and full-time for 12 years in Africa, Europe, South America, and the Gulf. I am an IELTS-certified speaking examiner, and hold a CELTA English teaching certificate.

Tutoring Approach

My style of teaching focuses heavily on oral communication and places an emphasis on the student's active participation. Classes are not lectures from the teacher- they heavily involve the student and get the student speaking as much as possible. I take notes of new vocabulary and grammar points during each lesson, review noticed errors with the student at the end of each class, and the student keeps the notes which we've reviewed and corrected. I incorporate a variety of materials into each lesson in order to make them as dynamic as possible, such as video clips, news articles, and song lyrics which are topical. I adjust each course to cater to the student's personal and changing needs, such as if the student needs to improve their writing for the IELTS exam, or improve their spoken English for a business trip or vacation.

USA), Master degree in Chemistry (Chicago, IL. USA), and Bachelor degree in Chemistry (Chicago, IL. USA).

Tutoring Approach

I follow a stepwise approach when it comes to teaching difficult topics.  As I explain, I tend to break down complex concepts into simple ideas, so students can gradually comprehend the subject. Application will be the next step to follow. I provide students with structural process, strategies, and tepmlates to use when studying for the exams. I always encourage my students to ask many questions as possible.

I believe in a multi-tiered approach that should be designed with the student's' needs and learning style.

Finally, I will design a teaching approach best suited for the student.

In addition, I am familiar and experienced with educational systems in the United Kingdom, the United States, and continental Europe and can advise students looking to study abroad. 

Tutoring Approach

I use a variety of techniques depending on the person's needs. I usually first have a conversation with the student about where she/he thinks that her/his needs are and then I devise a plan accordingly with clear goals and targets. I believe that sometimes teaching the student how to study/revise can get a long way towards achieveing success. I understand that the student is probably stressed and worried and I therefore always work with the student to increase confidence and reduce stress.

MA Education Leadership and Management, BA. Hons. Primary Education, Qualified Teaching Status.

Experience

My degree has enabled me to comfortably work with children becoming aware of their behaviours and more importantly, how to keep them engaged. I am a very open to opposing thoughts and opinions and enjoy the opportunity to harness new abilities and skills. Finally, I believe that my presence in any workplace would not only positively affect a business but also my surrounding workers.

Tutoring Approach

It is not a professional, but rather a personal desire to want my students to become successful. I am a keen enthusiast of high academic performance and believe good results in the classroom will produce good results in life. I plan my lessons to the individual needs of my students using a free taster session for initial assessments. Making my lessons unique for the learner is part of my professional practice and is the reason why I believe I can truly engage my students.

Tefl certified

Experience

I have taught both privately and in various centers in Qatar and enjoy seeing results from my students. I am a fun skilled teacher / tutor that  enjoys helping others achieve their goals in the areas of speaking, reading, grammar and listening. I have dealt with different ages from children to adults and taught people from different cultures and nationalities. Teaching is rewarding as I have the opportunity to see my students use new skills learnt taught to them by me and it's wonderful to see their confidence grow whilst learning a foreign language. Another plus is that I also get the chance to learn new things from my students too! Please note I'm also available in the mornings should anyone require tuition early in the day.

Tutoring Approach

The communicative approach exposes students to "real life" scenarios as opposed to traditional "text book" based learning. Learning a new language should be fun and games and challenges are incorpated into my lessons. Role plays are also beneficial as they prepare students for "real life"'language learning.
