Award-Winning ACT Reading Tutors in Stamford, CT

My passion for education has guided me through five fruitful years of tutoring.

I have tutored students from ages ranging from 8 to 18 years old. I am a history major and education minor. I enjoy tutoring help with a range of subjects (math, history, writing, ACT/SAT, English, science etc) because I love to learn and am passionate about teaching. My expertise is in teaching note taking skills and test taking strategies that are developed to suit each client's learning style.

...my students. For me, hearing "Oh, that makes so much more sense now!" from the students whom I tutor makes my job very rewarding because working with them to find the approach that best caters to their needs feels awesome. As a tutor, I always ensure that my students have a good qualitative understanding of the subjects they are struggling in before helping them with quantitative problems. For example, rather than simply telling my calculus...

...school students! I am passionate about tutoring Mandarin Chinese, history, anthropology, writing, etc., because my educational and cultural experience in the U.S. as a Chinese national has cultivated my enthusiasm with cross-cultural studies, especially in an educational context. My senior thesis in college explored the postwar history of Chinese students in the U.S. and their transnational subjectivity -- namely, how they navigated their socio-cultural and political identities in a transnational context! I am excited to...

...my long career as a student. I graduated with a degree in English with a minor in Political Science from the University at Buffalo with Honors distinctions. During my tenure as a student of the University, I was a member of the English Honor Society and tutored other students in developing their writing skills and helping them get through substantial assignments such as essays or long research papers. By focusing on organization, grammar, syntax, voice,...

...degree in violin performance at the Juilliard School. I have tutored privately and through Chegg Tutoring, Varsity Tutors, PrepExpert, and iLearn World throughout high school and college, with most of my experience being in standardized test prep and English. The most fulfilling moments that I have with my students are when I see them applying previous lessons and skills to new challenges. I believe that a good teacher not only helps a student tackle specific,...

Hardwork and Integrity

...teacher at an urban high school, I've worked with students ranging from a first-grade reading level to a college-level. My goal is always to bring all of these students to the same level so that they can have the same opportunity for success. Any student can learn when you give them a chance. My inclination for intense differentiation allows me to work with students of any ability and push them toward writing and reading fluency.

...is to be shared. I am a good listener, easy to get along with, and my main goal is to make everyone I interact with feel comfortable in my presence. This means that I am very receptive to the needs of my students and I personalize the way I approach my students based on what l feel is best for them to learn and excel. I understand that everyone does not learn best the same...

I've been lucky to have attended some fine educational institutions, though I don't come from the kind of background where such opportunities can be taken for granted. I believe every student should have the same opportunities as I've had, and I want to do everything I can to make those opportunities available to every student.

I'm an undergraduate at Brown University with a planned concentration in Health and Human Biology and Visual Art. I have had extensive experience working as a summer camp counselor, teaching at a Mandarin School, working as an SAT Tutor, and tutoring Physics, Biology, and Math at a local high school. I am more than happy to offer college advice and SAT II and AP prep given my experience with the application process!

...as an attorney in 2001. I remain a barred attorney in the State of Connecticut, and while passionate about the law, my true calling is as an academic and teacher. My experience includes eight years of teaching Freshman Composition and Upper Division courses at Ohio State University and Capital University. While at OSU, I was selected as a teaching assistant for graduate level theory courses as well. I have participated in the School for Criticism...

...Center for Policy Research at the Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy, SUNY Albany, where I research and lecture on general public consciousness of Constitutional rights, and on issues of subordinated identity and the law. In 2014, the President of the New York State Bar Association appointed me to serve on the State Bar Committee on Disability Rights. In that capacity, I am one of the chief advisers to the Bar on such matters....

...level. As an undergraduate teaching assistant for college level Music Theory and Keyboard Harmony courses over multiple semesters, I am also happy to teach musical interpretation and theoretically informed performance practice. In the near future I plan to return to formal studies in the field of Linguistics to earn a Doctorate, and in the interim I have begun teaching myself computer science and programming languages. In this modern technocentric world, I hope to study the...

...I am not only in charge of developing appropriate curriculum for groups of children with diverse interests, but also of training a staff of 30+ teaching artists to be effective teachers and mentors. As a tutor, I will be most effective with kids ages 10+ of all genders, especially those encountering difficulties around reading and writing. I am qualified for general homework help, organization, planning, as well a reading comprehension, writing and test prep. Above...

...Reading and Writing, mostly because I find this subject to just be so enjoyable. I believe in a more Socratic and investigative approach to teaching as I think that the deepest learning comes from answering guided questions and coming to one's own conclusions, then matching those conclusions to available standards and literature. I also believe in providing modes of concrete, pictorial, and abstract learning for every standard to truly solidify understanding for all learning styles....

...application process. I believe that standardized testing is not a direct assessment of a student's academic abilities, but rather their specific abilities as a test-taker; my role as a tutor is to instill time-management skills and provide tips on effectively navigating through these exams in order to enable students to become better test-takers. In the realm of mathematics and computer science however, I believe in a proof-based education and truly understanding why theorems work as...

...Science degree in Family Science with a concentration in counseling. In the fall I will be starting graduate school to get my masters in Speech-Language Pathology at New York Medical College. I have been a volunteer for Variety Child Learning Center, a tutor at Kumon Learning Center and a teachers assistant at the Center for Young Children at the University of Maryland. I am patient, empathetic, caring and a people person and have a lot...

Hi! My name is Willow. I am a recent UCLA graduate and I double majored in German and Philosophy. I graduated with departmental honors for both of my majors, as well as college honors. I also studied at Humboldt Universitt Berlin. While my majors seem very niche, they helped me develop great argumentative writing skills as well as an attention to detail. I am also currently applying to law schools. I consider myself a very...

...important is to nurture a student's love for learning itself. I aim to hone the muscle of showing up to the work ready to try. I achieve this by creating a positive atmosphere, approaching education with an open mind and sense of humor, which, in turn, results in high motivation and resilience. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Theater and English from Muhlenberg College, as well as a Master's degree in Acting from Brown University.
