HistoryI spent my twenties following my dream to be a professional singer-songwriter, performing original material from New York to Los Angeles before crowds of 400 to absolutely no one. I studied the great songwriters' craft, learned from contemporaries, and wrote over sixty songs (with dictionary, thesaurus, and rhyming dictionary by my side), thirty poems, a group of short stories, and one two-act play. I had been tutoring SAT for The Princeton Review in Los Angeles, and when I returned to the east coast a friend Dave suggested I substitute teach. Before long I earned Master of Arts in Teaching (Highly Qualified) Secondary School English Literature, a certified teacher. I have been teaching or tutoring since.SpecialtiesMy name is M Howard Hyde. 21 years experience has honed my ability to identify and build on each student's strengths to raise student grades and test scores with practical effective strategies. I successfully tutor multiple academic subjects, the SAT, ACT, and ASVAB tests as well as instruct students to learn English as a second language. I've earned a Master of Arts in Teaching English Literature, B.A. Philosophy, B.A. English Literature, TEFL (Teach English as a Foreign Language), and continue to take college courses in History, English Literature, and Philosophy. My students attend high school, college, and university. Finding the right tutor is important, so I always meet with prospective parents and students for a free consultation to introduce myself and outline my program. I travel to your home for your convenience and supervision. I also find that students are more confident in familiar environments.
