Carefully selected, highly-credentialed tutors in Rye, NY
"I am passionate about education and believe strongly in academic success as a platform for personal growth and self-esteem. My tutoring experience began in middle school as a reading helper to children for whom English was a second language (ages 5-10). I continued to tutor throughout middle and high school as a ‘homework helper’ for kids with behavioral and developmental challenges, which required that I teach a range of subjects at various levels with personalized approaches for each student (ages 9-13).

"One must quickly diagnose the main areas the student needs to improve, so as not to waste time.

Lastly, in addition to speaking with the utmost clarity, a great tutor must have excellent listening skills.."

"I believe every person is capable of success, and with the proper guidance and motivation, I have witnessed every one of my students flourish and grow beyond their expectations. My background is in the sciences, with a basis in asking questions and research for answers. This concept I have applied to all subjects, enabling me to translate the subject matter to include "Success Skills" (NOT just study skills, that term is scary!) In the past year, I have taught a course on Study Skills at the University of Colorado and tutored all levels, subjects, and abilities from high school students to adults. My general passion for learning and ...
