Carefully selected, highly-credentialed Reading tutors in Westchester, NY
" I also work with students in history and general homework help. I am a published writer, with articles in national and local publications and Yahoo! Finance. I wrote about legal and financial issues and discovered that I really enjoy the law - so I moved to Williamsburg, Virginia for three years and studied at the College of William & Mary, the country's oldest law school. During the week, I am a practicing attorney who has taken and passed three bar exams - each on the first attempt. I believe that any student can achieve and that no one style fits everyone. I maintain flexibility and adjust my methodologies for each student that I work with." ...

" I tutored younger students in the theater department throughout college, serving as a mentor for many underclassmen during my senior year. I believe a good teacher is a good listener; someone who can tailor their teaching style to the needs of any student, something I hope I will be able to do for you. I love playing guitar and singing more than anything, I've recently been reading a lot of Hemingway, and I absolutely love old Russian literature, particularly Tolstoy.."

" The funny part is that while I always enjoyed writing and had a passion for it, I was never very good. I had my problems with my own writing and certainly not, at first, qualified to tutor anyone else in it. In fact, my first creative writing class I took at Middlebury, my professor told me that writing was not my strong suit.
I was discouraged. Frustrated, even."

"I graduated in only three and a half years with a Bachelor’s degree in English as well as a minor in creative writing. Through my time at school I have peer edited countless papers, critiqued works of fiction, and written a considerable amount of my own material.
Throughout my whole life I have spent much of my spare time reading books or writing creatively. My expertise is letters, words, sentences, paragraphs- how to create them, decipher them and think about them."
