Katherine: Smithtown ACT English tutor
Certified ACT English Tutor in Smithtown, NY
During my years as a student, I had a hard time remembering concepts and terms. I had a near perfect attendance record, but still struggled with performing well on 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...

Certified ACT English Tutor in Smithtown, NY
...and 11th grade teacher at a school in Queens, where I teach French, English, and U.S. History. Studying and teaching French, I learned about the frustration students feel when struggling to understand something that might literally or figuratively seem to be in another language. I carry this understanding, lots of patience, and a passion for language into my tutoring sessions. Outside of school, I love to read, have movie nights, see as many Broadway shows...

Sylvan: Smithtown ACT English tutor

Really being able to form close relationships with a small number of students...

As someone who enjoys problem-solving for its own sake, I often find myself in the position of explaining difficult concepts and abstract ideas to people with very different backgrounds and personalities than my own. Generally, people learn best from examples they find relevant, interesting, and concrete. My main...
