Award-Winning ACT English Tutors serving Greenwich, CT

...the side" rather than the "sage on a stage." A teacher should let students do the majority of the talking. I like to use questioning to steer students towards relevant details, themes, or narratives. Questioning is also important in challenging students to think deeper and look closer. I also believe that all students are different, and deserve an individualized approach. The importance of an initial diagnostic on the first meeting is of utmost importance in...

...others has not wavered. Ten years as a public school teacher equates to approximately 2,000 students and was a pivotal time in cultivating skills as an instructional designer. It was also critical in honing my abilities as a facilitator who successfully engages participants and adapts instruction to meet diverse learning styles. I am NYS certified English teacher with ten years of instructional, design and assessment experience for both general and honors programs, and a Master...

...have also learned that this foundation needs to leave room for change. I learned early in my career that a teaching philosophy set as doctrine could serve as a hindrance to my ability to engage students, and it could serve as a hindrance to a student's ability to learn. The latter prompted me to see that teaching is circumstantial; i.e., we can each have our individual way of approaching a text or an assignment, but...

...studying chemical engineering at Columbia University. I have tutored my peers throughout my high school career and currently I've been tutoring underprivileged elementary-aged students near Columbia's campus. I love working with children but am also excited to help older students be successful through their middle school and high school career. am willing to travel to locations relatively close to my campus (Morningside Heights area), can tutor students in public buildings on campus, and can tutor...

...fulfilled helping others. I love to teach and help people when I can. I have many years of experience tutoring and teaching people both one on one and classes of up to about 40 students and lectures with well over 100. I specialize in almost all things science and math. Throughout my many years of helping people achieve their academic goals, I have adapted a style which focuses on removing the doubt and worry from...

I am a writer and pianist living in NYC, where I currently teach music and English. I've co-authored two books--the children's book "A Dog Named Randall" (with Marian Hailey-Moss) and the comic autobiography "How Not to Cook, for the Rest of Your Life" (with Marilyn Michaels)-- and I am thrilled to be here on Varsity Tutors!

...and multiplication tables! My general tutoring style is relaxed yet focused. When I'm working with a student, I'll ask more questions at the beginning of the session to get a good idea of where the student stands and where there are some gaps. One of the biggest things I've noticed (especially in math!) is that if there isn't a good foundation, you won't be able to finish the whole house (i.e., your learning objective). By...

...help others to gain knowledge. In my opinion, a key to success is not only a hard work, but understanding also. When we understand the material, we have all the chances to learn something. Being an honored student myself, I know how to break down and teach the hardest topics. My teaching style will help students to memorize the material quickly and effectively with the help of mnemonics, visualization and spaced repetition. I look forward...

...it. One of the most satisfying moments for me is when an idea finally "clicks" for a student and they suddenly understand the material much better. I always strive to make that happen. While in high school, I gained a year experience tutoring a classmate in AP Biology. In college I have aced my math courses, including Calculus 1 (differential) and Calculus 2 (integral). I earned very high scores on the ACT by practicing on...

...math, specifically pre-algebra, algebra I, geometry, and ACT prep and am certified to teach all secondary math. I also wrote curriculum based on the Common Core standards in geometry. As a teacher, I was committed to getting to know my students’ unique interests and academic needs in order to best assess how they interacted with material. Rather than explain a problem the same way to every student, for instance, I looked for multiple approaches and...

...time. The only way I got better at writing is by writing more. And writing about the things that matter to me (which was and is basketball). Slowly, I established my voice, my style, and before I noticed, I became a writer. And it was Professor Ganley who recommended me to be tutor, told me, "You can write for a living." I don't write for a living. I coach basketball now, and before that I...

...lab experience. I love to explain science, especially biology, because I think it is exciting and has many applications in life. My tutoring style is to explain each step so that students learn why they are doing each particular part of the problem, and can apply that knowledge to other problems. I think understanding problems, not memorizing them, aids in learning. I have led many study groups for peers and I coach high school volleyball...

...and this is one important element of education. I also believe that education can improve one's enjoyment of life regardless of the occupation or field of study one pursues. I am especially proficient in the areas of essay writing and editing, proofreading, and the mechanics of grammar and usage. I have extensive experience in helping students prepare for standardized tests such as the SAT. I have also taught AP English and I am very familiar...

...weighted towards and directly correlates with my personality and what I believe to be best in my classroom settings. As a teacher I want to fill my students with creativity and the ability to decide for themselves and become their own agents. I hope that the children that I tutor will feel the need and responsibility to come together and make plans together as a partnership, obey those plans, and work hard to achieve goals.
