Award-Winning ACT English Tutors serving Connecticut

...Psychology and Economics. If you're anything like me, you might also be a terrible test taker. I get so nervous when I sit down for standardized tests that I can barely think of the answer. Tests are not my strong suit, but I believe that works to my advantage as a tutor. When I began studying for the ACT and taking practice tests, I was having difficulty improving my original score. I spent months working...

...have a great appreciation for the arts and humanities, as I believe it is important to have a balanced education to minimize our biases. I attempt to incorporate this philosophy into my tutoring lessons by including problems with real-world applications where possible. And as a tutor, I am very hands-on, as I believe teaching is a dance in which communication from both sides is of utmost importance. I want my students to ask questions as...

...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 own schoolwork as a matter of course. 'Mom's homework' was our way into the best private schools in the northeast. My own children - my autistic son and my intellectually gifted daughter - did 'Mom's homework' as well, which enabled them to reach their own intellectual bests....

...everything I do. Some of my earliest memories are of exploring the Boston Science Museum as a toddler, where I would spend hours upon hours running from exhibit to exhibit and playing at each interactive station. It is this very same curiosity which I hope to instill in my peers. Trust me, I know that learning about integrals, doing titrations, or reading "Moby Dick" isn't always going to be fun. But there is something innately...

I approach my students' tutoring sessions with a growth mindset. I deeply believe that any student can be successful given the right support.

...thought to myself, why was this happening? Students have so much pressure to perform well on standardized tests. We cram with flashcards, pull all nighters, and even sacrifice our social time to prove to the world that we retained what we learned that year. But are we *actually* learning? My goal as a tutor is to make your studies enjoyable. I love to use visual and real world examples to help you grasp difficult concepts....
