Award-Winning ACT English Tutors serving Norwalk, CT

I have several years of vastly rewarding experiences teaching art and computer skills to high school aged students. I especially love math, as well as reading and writing, and I am eager to share my enthusiasm.

...students in English literature, philosophy, computer science, the ACT, the SAT, math, chemistry, and physics for the past five years. In addition, I regularly volunteer at the Literacy Network helping adult learners receive their diplomas, and at my local library, organizing educational events for children. I enjoy most those moments when a student forgets what they can and cannot do and gets lost in the subject matter. True moments of discovery occur when we absurdly,...

...I just graduated a semester early from Seton Hall University with a Bachelors in Biology and an Africana Studies minor. I am currently in the process of applying to medical school, and in the meantime, would like to help other students reach their greatest academic potential. During my undergraduate career, I worked as a preschool assistant teacher and have experience tutoring high school level biology, several levels of English, and ACT/SAT reading and writing prep.

...the training of new writers each semester both on grammar and mechanics. I was also a TA for many courses, supporting students in their writing and essay needs, as well as comprehension. As a tutor, my personal philosophy is that every student has the intellect and the ability to do high quality work, my job is to help identify and understand the road blocks. With patience and clarity and an adaptive educating style, each student...

...New Delhi, India. At Vasant Valley, I taught over a hundred students about the fundamental components of English-language poetry and introduced them to select poems from several British and American poetic movements. I also helped students strengthen their writing skills through imitation writing exercises. Additionally, I tutored several students outside of class both at Vasant Valley and in southern Lebanon. Through these experiences, I learned to share my passion for learning and intellectual growth with...

My name is Francis Nguyen. I am married and have three beautiful daughters. I graduated with a Bachelor in Math Education in 2000 and a Masters in Math in 2003 from Fairfield University. I have been teaching high school for over 20 years. The subjects I have taught ranged from elementary math to Trigonometry. I love to help children learn math and succeed in math.

...the position personally satisfying and beneficial to the students I work with. I am a great communicator and listener, and have the ability to understand a student's needs. Education is a passion of mine and creating a safe, friendly and productive environment for my students to learn is a top priority. I am passionate about helping students come to love the act of learning, and I would cherish the opportunity to transform the way your...

...I was able to further develop with extra-curricular enrichment. One of the largest advantages of private tutoring is the increased engagement and attention between the student and material. I believe that fostering a love of mathematics is possible in any student and would be thrilled to help students both improve and become more excited about the subject. I was diagnosed with executive functioning issues while a high-school student, but was able to develop new study...

...love helping students arrive at a solution in the way that's best for them. I would describe my teaching and tutoring philosophy as one that constantly engages the students to be aware of their problem-solving process. I try to improve the way that students tackle problems, so rather than diving in immediately after reading a problem, their first though is, "What do I need to do here?". Outside of the teaching and tutoring world, I...

I am a true New England boy, and am an alumnus of Wesleyan, Yale and Uconn Law School. I was a double major in Political Science and Psychology and enjoy the intersection of the two. I have taught for over twenty years most recently as a professor of Law and Criminology at UB. I also lived in Hong Kong and taught test prep to some of the world's most aspirational students.

Dedicated tutor with an education background and a focus on creative expression.

...others do the same while still respecting their individual voices. I love to work with students on college essays, other applications, and general writing skills - this past year, one of my students with whom I worked on a college essay was accepted to every school to which he applied, and I work to achieve that goal with all of my students! I'm also experienced in Verbal and Writing test prep, particularly for the SAT,...

...those topics, they're not for everyone, and that's totally okay. My strategy involves finding connections between the weaker subject and the student's current strengths, and to use real life examples to better understand the material. For students without a naturally good test-taking ability, I believe my personal experience of originally being a poor standardized test-taker provides me a unique perspective. While for me this was for reading comprehension sections, the approach is the same for...

...science major, also studying human rights, but my interests stem far beyond those disciplines - and I know all of my students are equally complex individuals. We all come to testing and school work from different academic places, but the skills we work on developing are the same: the ability to think, to express, and to comprehend. Reading critically and writing eloquently are difficult arts, and we're all constantly learning and growing in our abilities...

I graduated with honors from UC Berkeley's English program. While in college, I worked as a tutor, designing lesson plans and teaching accelerated classes for elementary to high schoolers within a day-time tutoring program. This included standardized test prep as well. My biggest priority as a tutor is helping you find the confidence and belief in your own ability. This, I've found, has the biggest impact on a student's performance.

...degree and NYS certification in Adolescent Mathematics Education. In addition, I am certified in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages and taught at an international English school in Westchester County. I am also an accomplished pastry chef with an interest in low sugar baking. I am excited and inspired by learning and continue to be a student of pastry, music, Spanish, Italian, Latin dancing, and cooking. My strength as a tutor lies in my...

I'm a physics student at Stony Brook University with interests in mathematics, baroque music, and music theory.

I love to motivate students to succeed. I do everything I can to help them improve their grades. I try to liven up sessions with math or logic problems. I even throw in a joke or two.

As a psychology major, I focus on the development of the mind and its connection to the emotions that we use to learn. Understanding the process of learning from a psychological perspective gives me an advantage in my ablility to tutor. I am able to identify where each student meets their challenges, to then apply the best accurate teaching techniques to help them achieve their highest potential academic goal.

...Plath, Hanya Yanagihara, and Donna Tartt. I recently graduated from New York University with degrees in global public health and sociology, as well as a minor in Media, Culture, and Communications. I hope to continue my academic career in law school either this fall or in 2022 (if I can get in, so can you!) I am originally from Texas, where I attended a small private school that taught the classical curriculum. Receiving a classical...
