Award-Winning ACT Tutors in Connecticut

...Economics. I tutor math, english, chemistry, spanish, and psychology. My favorite subject to tutor is psychology because I find it to be very applicable in life. I believe that learning shouldn't have to be hard and that we should appeal to all of our senses when learning. At Yale, I participate in Splash, a program that allows students to teach a class for day. I enjoyed the experience so much that I thought tutoring would...

...understanding of mathematical and physical principles. "The greatest joy is the joy of understanding" -Leonardo DaVinci. I now find no greater joy than that of shared understanding. When I am working with students, I seek to help them achieve a mastery of the subject that will stay with them for the rest of their lives and serve as strong foundation for their future intellectual endeavors. I was fortunate to have many fine teachers and appreciate...

I'm a senior at CCSU with a Media Studies major and Creative Writing minor. I love reading, writing, history, psychology, and language in general!

My teaching strategy is active, in-depth learning, which promotes the problem solving and collaborative learning capabilities of my students. The tools I use to implement my strategies are homework assignments, paper assignments, quizzes, and the think-pair-share technique.

...of an expanding brain meme! I have a BA in Psychology with minors in Philosophy and Music Performance from Denison University (in Ohio, my home state). For the last four years I've been teaching statistics, research methodology, writing, and intro psych to college students while I work on my doctorate. I believe teaching is all about enabling personal growth. Nobody is born great, but anybody can become great with practice, patience, and a bit of...

I have tutored students for the GMAT, GRE, SAT, ACT and LSAT for more than 15 years. I love it! As I tailor my instructions toward the unique needs of each student, my goal is to improve not only the student's performance but also the student's confidence as test day approaches.

...excellent way to better both people's lives and my own. We both learn from the experience. Working on STEM problems is the favorite part of my day. Everything builds off of what you have already mastered; your skills and knowledge grow, becoming a more complex and logical tool. STEM is an amazing branch of life that has infinitely many uses and avenues to go down, whether you want to become something better or just love...

...My experience working with struggling students stems from my current full-time job as an academic advisor at the University of Connecticut. I am also in the research stage of completing an Ed.D. in Educational Leadership, in which my research focuses on revising the current university protocol for students on academic probation. Outside of work, I enjoy caring for and riding my rescue horse named Hot Rod (along with my multiple other animals) and spending time...

...time at work has always been spent working with and teaching others. Through my professional career, teaching others has become a passion of mine. I spent several years as a Finance Manager, working with junior analysts each day. My approach in teaching others centers on patience and understanding. I utilized a different approach for each of my employees. Some needed more attention and motivation, while others were more independent and required minimal supervision. I believe...

...where I met with each student to go over any writing assignment before it was due. I am passionate about addressing high order concerns (structure and argument) before low order ones (grammar and mechanics), to best help the cognition of my clients. Of course, I can make fun exercise worksheets for areas such as punctuation and grammar rules, too. Last summer I translated the skills I earned through this on-campus job to Vietnam where I...

Getting new insight on problems that are difficult to solve can be beneficial, even more so sometimes than self-study. I aim to provide or hint at approaches, give background on concepts, and cooperate with the student so that they succeed and are satisfied!

...This encouragement and growth has given me the push to further my education into a Master's Degree in education. With all of these strides, I still wanted more out of my career and applied to Varsity Tutors. The main reason I applied is I want more experience working with students that teaching cannot provide in the time frame I have. Also, I want to work with students from different backgrounds and ages that I currently...

...but about the subject as a whole. My teaching philosophy is very heavily student-based. I help a student learn not in one specific way, but by learning how that student thinks and works over several sessions and by integrating that into my lessons. Additionally, I emphasize understanding core principles first and specific problems, questions, or exercises laterunderstanding the why makes the what much simpler. Outside of tutoring, some of my hobbies include watching movies (I'm...

My name is Christian Olivier and I am a Sophomore at Yale University majoring in History of Science, Medicine, and Public Health! Tutoring and inspiring knowledge makes me immensely happy. So does Nutella. Can't wait to meet you!

I am currently a Clinical Health Studies major in the Physical Therapy program at Ithaca College. I am minoring in Neuroscience, Biology, and Deaf Studies. I love animals, art, dance, music, and science.

...and classmates with their academic issues. I am a firm believer that an English tutor is not there to tell their student how to understand the text or make essay edits for them, but to provide them with the tools and background information necessary for them to figure out their own interpretations and make their own edits. While the reading and writing of books is my passion, I also have deep love for music, cats,...

...the history and legacy of Christian monasticism. I taught for four years at Yale Divinity School and currently serve as a high school substitute teacher. My areas of teaching specialty include the humanities, religion, history, English, Latin, and Greek. Right now, I am seeking employment as a history teacher at the secondary level and am passionate about teaching and tutoring students. I particularly enjoy helping students with all elements of writing and research assignments.
