" I find that each student learns at a different capacity, so my teaching style is to first be aware of the material trying to be better understood. Then finding the correlation of the students interests and strengths in order to best relate the material we would be working with. I will then find the best way possible to make learning interesting and each experience and session new. My interests consist of sports (mostly football), traveling and working on my motorcycle."

" Some of my students who "hated" reading and writing now devour books (or at least magazines) and churn out masterful essays when they have to. Others who "couldn't" study find they have a new drive after I relate to them about overcoming my own challenges with time management and discipline. It's not easy forming a connection between getting a great score on a standardized test and doing the things we actually want to be doing months or years later, and maybe it's bizarre that we have to, but it's there- or you wouldn't be looking for a tutor! The best compliment I've consistently received from students and parents is that I actually make this ...

" I took early retirement from teaching, but then I really missed the student/teacher interaction. I enjoy my students, so I don't mind going the extra mile for one. Also, a one on one relationship, as opposed to a group situation, makes difficult situations vanish so much more quickly. I'm committed to helping and I'm excited to meet my new students.."

"I don't expect you to geek out to the degree that I do, but enthusiasm is contagious and it's my job to make sure that you enjoy learning! I was one of those kids who never had to try or study and still got As all through high school. I was in for a big surprise in college. The circumstances that allowed me to succeed through grade 12 changed when I went to university. When you don't have class 7 hours every day, you don't have good friends to help explain things, and you never had to study outside of class it's really easy to get overwhelmed quickly." ...

" I have had similar success preparing students for SAT subject tests and AP exams. My students benefit from my comprehensive knowledge of the subject matter, high energy, enthusiasm and patience. I spend time getting to know the individual needs of my students and then tailor a program of study that best addresses both subject matter gaps and test taking strategies and skills. I develop a rapport with my students often utilizing my quick wit and good humor and this relationship helps to motivate them and elicit their best performance." ...

I have also worked extensively with students for whom English can be an obstacle: both in Italy teaching English, and here teaching math to immigrant children. I look forward to the opportunity to bring understanding to as many students as I can.."

"Native speakers and ESL students alike.
My approach is simple: I move at your pace until I'm confient you understand the material. Then a gentle push to the next level is applied. Using previous sessions as a foundation I focus on the fundamentals. I eschew tricks and gimmicks for getting to the right answer."

I excel at teaching any level of English and writing mechanics, middle school math and biology, GRE test-prep, and I am fluent in Hebrew and Hindi-Urdu. My work both in the US and ...

" I want my students to be able to relate math to their lives. When I look back over time with the Social Studies textbook, I feel like I am taking my students on a tour of the world. It’s fascinating to look back in time and see how the world has changed and developed over time. ELA is another way for us to expand our horizons – through reading and writing."
