Award-Winning ACT Tutors in Bridgeport, CT

...organize their assignments and study effectively. I was able to use my love for math and English to help them with their coursework, and that is when I found a love for tutoring. I specifically worked with middle schoolers, ages 10-13. Furthermore, while in college, I worked with an organization called MiTutor, which allows students at the University of Michigan tutor children in the metro-Detroit area for free. With this, I met so many great...

...class where I helped students with their work in class. At Grand Valley I tutored a young boy in reading for two years, grades 3-5. He was uninterested in the things they read at school, but loved history and bugs; so to improve his reading skills he would read encyclopedia entries about bugs or short history stories to me. I made sure he was enunciating correctly, sounding out words properly, and not skipping over words....

I am currently a student studying neuroscience at Columbia University. I have been tutoring for 3 years, in both academic subjects and in ACT prep. I love working with students and helping them master new concepts!

...to tutor. My approach to tutoring is to simplify things down to bite-sized chunks for the student. I find that difficulty in concepts often stems from trying to gloss over the more basic parts. This is the philosophy I use when I am learning and studying, as well as tutoring. I always try to be patient and take things one step at a time. Outside my academics, I have a number of different hobbies. First...

My name is Jenna and I am a junior presidential scholar at Villanova University. I am pursuing a double major in finance and business analytics and a minor in Spanish as a member of the Honors Program.

I am currently pursuing an MBA in healthcare. I graduated in 2017 from Johns Hopkins with a degree in biology. I have a heavy scientific and math background but also enjoy history and reading. I hope I am able to help anyone reach great academic success

My goal for every session is that every student comes away with a better understanding of the material. I did my BS in Mathematics, and Finance and a minor in Economics. While those subjects may sound daunting, I know that any concept can be understood with right explanation.

...to be a supportive, fun, and engaging teacher. I look forward to tutoring sessions and try my best to make sure that my students do as well. Since receiving my MPH, I have been writing a full-length musical The Moving Sky. I have been a professional, published songwriter for a long time and it gives me great joy. In addition, I enjoy swimming, playing trivia games, being outside, and watching foreign films. I'm also a...

...am very passionate about tutoring Calculus 1 and enjoy seeing my students succeed in their studies. From my college experience, Calculus 1 provides many fundamental concepts that apply in many real-world applications such as Physics and Economics. My belief in the importance of learning mathematics is rooted in the fact that it enables us to be creative problem solvers for many different obstacles that arise. In my free time, I enjoy tennis, video games, swimming,...

...University studying Information Science and Computational Biology. As a former high school student eager to make my application the strongest and genuine as possible, I fell in love with the college application process. I have written and edited countless personal statements to college supplemental questions. Along with my interest in college applications, I also gathered various helpful strategies and techniques applicable in many situations on standardized exams--and understandable for any type of student! For all...

...hard work begins to pay off, and their test scores rise. I believe that individualization of instruction is crucial to academic success because students are able to get targeted feedback on their own strengths and weaknesses, not the entire class's strengths and weaknesses. I also seek to be personally approachable to students because when there is a divide between tutor and tutoree, I do not believe that the student learns as much as they potentially...

...chemistry. While in college I worked as a tutor and teaching assistant for first year chemistry, holding weekly sessions where I went over homework and tests. After college I worked for two years at an after-school enrichment program where I again tutored and taught classes in chemistry, math, as well as SAT and ACT prep courses. I have always enjoyed teaching in one form or another, whether it be for academic subjects, music lessons, drawing...

...who has years' experience as both a student and teacher. I have worked with several students over many K-12 subjects and standardized exams (PSAT, SAT, ACT). My approach is useful for the student for whom shortcuts are just not cutting it they want to actually understand the material. Of course sometimes shortcuts are useful but they are not useful beyond a certain point. You are paying for an exclusive service, so I want to make...

...my students. In my teaching career, I have been successful at building a long-lasting rapport with my students and helping them excel in the areas that many find daunting and overwhelmingreading and writing.

I have extensive experience tutoring students to take standardized tests, but now I am specializing in the ACT. My tutoring approach, while covering test-taking techniques, will also emphasize the wisdom and skills needed to understand the root of the test questions. I hope that I can come alongside you to help and encourage you in your life pursuits.

...a teacher, I choose to construct my lessons so that they are student centered. Each of us learns differently, and we each have our own unique virtues and vices as learners. Above all, I strive to establish a relationship of mutual recognition of mutual respect between myself and my students. This is the groundwork for any trusting relationship, and is the key to establishing free flows of information between student and teacher.

...skills and your child's unique learning style. I often find that many students who gripe and groan about learning English ("why does this even matter, anyways?" is my favorite complaint to answer) or who are unsure test takers have excellent verbal and writing skills; they simply lack confidence in their analysis or their writing. I strive to instill into every student I work with that their thoughts are valid and meaningful, especially when written in...

...experience tutoring students in Physics on Varsity Tutoring. I have tutored three students in overall homework help, Spanish, and physics. Even though I have tutored students in a wide variety of subjects, my favorite subjects to tutor in are science and math. These are tough subjects for all students and subjects that I have struggled with in the past. Being able to help students like me that feel frustrated in science and math in school...

I believe that everyone can learn. A great tutor can adapt the material to fit every student's needs. I am an experienced and certified teacher. I love history and politics as well.... I will spend the session getting to know the student. I will learn their experiences in education and devise a plan to help them learn.

...upcoming chemistry exam or SAT. I took the ACT myself, and understand how important it is to master standardized testing for one's own benefit and also for college applications. I know how stressful it can be - I went through it myself! Proper tutoring can help a student gain not only improved skills in the classroom but a better sense of their own preferred learning methods. Whether it is with real-life examples or countless practice...
