Reading Tutors

I have tutored clients from junior high to college level in Latin, sciences, mathematics, English, SAT/ACT prep and music theory. I took Latin for 6 years and rather enjoyed it. My favorite subjects are history, the sciences and English. I actually did not like math for quite some time as a child but I have learned to love it and I would like to help any of my clients LOVE the subject I tutor them in. I enjoying singing and have done so since I was in 3rd grade.

Yes, I still count "Three-a-day Three's" as part of my education. I went on to middle school at St. John's School and ended up graduating from Bellaire High School in the top 2% of my class. Now, I attend and LOVE The University of Houston Honors College.

I enjoyed the one-on-one and small group instruction, because it allowed me to support each individual student better. These skills and knowledge, I believe, will help me tutor students of all ages and in all subject areas. For students in reading, math, and science, I believe one of the best ways to help students succeed is techniques not commonly used in the classroom. I have found that allowing students to come to their own answers, guiding them to solve problems, and helping them towards self-directed learning are some of the best ways to make students invested in their own learning and motivated to succeed. As one of the fastest growing language programs in Chicago and the U.S., Mandarin Chinese is becoming more and more relevant in colleges and jobs. I am a native speaker but also took classes and spent a summer in Beijing in a language immersion program.

I am currently researching in the Pediatrics and Immunology department of the Mount Sinai Hospital. First of all, due to the nature of this job, my hours are very flexible so your son/daughter will get the utmost attention from me during the week/weekend. I have a firm grasp on all subjects regarding Mathematics up to college level Calculus 2. As far as English is concerned, since my degree is both a science and humanities degree, I have mastered how to write persuasively, informatively, and creatively.

Hello! My name is Julia, and I offer tutoring in verbal and analytical skills. As an English major at Yale and Harvard and a former high school teacher, I love empowering students to think creatively and write effectively. I hope you'll be in touch soon!.

I am a very experienced peer tutor, with many years of helping junior high, high school, and undergraduate students in a variety of areas. These include: foreign languages and English, social science and linguistics. I have a passion for these subjects, and a strong ability to effectively educate others in them..

I can help students with essays, personal statements, applications, grammar, verbal and writing standardized tests, and Italian grammar and conversation. As a tutor, I’ve learned how to adapt to different learning styles and individuals. I personalize my tutoring sessions by listening to what students want help with, gauging their needs based on their writing or language ability, and understanding their teachers’ (or exams’) expectations. When I tutor, I enjoy being able to teach students as I assist them with their writing and language.

He plays rugby at Wash U, which is a far cry from the fencing he did five days a week in high school. Odd sports aren't his only concern, though: in high school, he also received a National Merit Scholarship, was nominated as a Presidential Scholar, and scored a perfect 36 on his ACT, a 2370 on his SAT, and top "5" scores on nine AP tests. In the past, he's privately tutored chemistry, taught Sunday school for second and third graders, and coached younger students in music as the trombone section leader at his high school. In the summer of 2011, he ran his own ACT tutoring business, raising student scores an average of four composite points.

I have experience with babysitting, being a nanny for 2 different families, working in child care with school age children, and tutoring. I have a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I have been tutoring for the past 4 years. I have tutored children who ages range from 5 to 12 years. I have experience tutoring children in the public schools, and after school.

I come from a Spanish speaking family and have studied the language for five years. During that time I have traveled to many Central and South American countries, and so I have a handle not only on the language, but also on many of the different Hispanic cultures. I am passionate about all the subjects in which I tutor. I believe that learning can be both fun and easy when the tutor and the student work together to build a solid foundation for future growth.
