Award-Winning ACT Tutors in Waterbury, CT

Teaching is my blood; both my mother and grandmother were teachers. There's nothing that makes me happier than that 'aha!' moment - when my student understands something he/she would not have without my help. When my sisters and I came home from our school in the Bronx we had to complete 'Mom's homework' after our...

I have been a private tutor since 2006, working with a range of students from grades 3+ in a variety of subjects from test prep and study skills, to history and government, to mathematics and the sciences. My students have enjoyed understanding concepts through problem solving, emphasizing understanding over rote memorization. Since moving up to...

I have a wild passion for education and it's my desire to share that with growing students. I have had the privilege to study with some brilliant individuals at Quinnipiac University, where I majored in Health Science studies and dabbled in some laboratory investigation.

I would make it clear that I was there as a collaborator, not to judge but to assist. When I am confident that I have established at least a threshold level of good will, I would address the subject matter, but I would do so gingerly. I would assess the tutee's competence, but do it in a manner that does not leave him or her feeling inadequate.

From a young age, I always know that I wanted to be a teacher. I also constantly had my nose buried in a book, so becoming an English teacher was the next logical step. I graduated from Central Connecticut State University in 2012 and taught for the next two years, 2012-2014. I thoroughly enjoyed my...

...try to treat every student as a violin student -- lots of feedback and one-to-one attention, not so much lecture. I've been working in education for nearly 10 years, as a tutor, classroom teacher (I am certified in Math 7-12 in Connecticut), and developer of teaching materials. My most recent gigs have been hourly /...
