Carefully selected, highly-credentialed Latin tutors in Manhasset, NY
"A great tutor can see outside the box and be flexible enough to explain the same concept in a variety of ways, depending on the needs of the student. A tutor must be more personable with the student than a classroom teacher, who to a certain degree, must hide behind a teaching persona. Lastly, in addition to speaking with the utmost clarity, a great tutor must have excellent listening skills.."

" Furthermore, my teaching has been shaped by many years working as a high-school history / social studies teacher: I have taught global history, and several electives: political philosophy, modern Latin America, strategic thinking and religion.

"I really believe in tutoring, as a way to improve your grades in the short term, and as a long term investment to set a completely new point of view about studying. In fact, learning should always be an easy and pleasant experience for everyone, because it is one of the most beautiful activities that one can engage in. My experience as a tutor makes me very comfortable about my skills. All my students always managed to improve their grades, and the great majority of them found a new inspiration and new energy to put into their study. I really believe that tutoring should work in both finding an effective solution for urgent problems with grades ...

"I love travel, cultures and history and I spent a semester abroad in southern Spain in the spring of 2010. I have previous teaching experience as a teaching assistant for the Latin American Studies Department at the University of Connecticut. As a teaching assistant, I acted as an approachable resource in small group discussions for students who had questions on the material the professor had presented in lectures. In these small group discussions, I helped students "link" new information from lectures into their previous personal knowledge base, creating a more complete and natural understanding of the material then ...

"I started tutoring again here in New York--and began applying to grad school in education--because I had come to miss these joys. Again, my main subject area is math, but I have a strong background in a wide array of other fields and, having worked two years writing workbooks for the test, am particularly well qualified for tutoring for the SAT. My teaching style is highly customized to the student(s) I'm working with: my main goal is always to make him or her feel as comfortable as possible. But beyond that--unless we're quickly nearing a standardized test date and fundamental understanding is temporarily less of a priority than scoring ...
