Award-Winning AP English Language and Composition Tutors serving Medford, MA

...all my life! My trademark pedagogy involves personalized, hands-on, interactive activities (even in a remote setting). My unique approach employs theatre and creative dramatics and inter-arts strategies across subjects, especially essay writing, critical thinking, and analysis. As someone who attended college and received both my advanced degrees on scholarship (Vassar, Emerson, Tufts), I am an advocate for equal opportunity education. I have worked one-on-one with students of all ages, including thesis and dissertation coaching. For...

...didn't grasp before, or solve the problem that had been giving them so much trouble. It's a really terrific feeling to know that I can make a difference in someone's life that way, however small it may be. I also understand that to seek tutoring help can potentially be a nervous or uncomfortable feeling at first, and so I want anyone who might work with me to know that A) I think it takes definite...

...from the University of Connecticut, where I am currently working on my PhD in American Literature. I tutor a mix of test preparation, English, Literature, and Writing. In helping students with reading and writing skills, I enjoy using multiple different approaches to develop a well-rounded understanding of the techniques, while making the sessions fun. I'm a strong proponent of keeping studying dynamic. It is important to me that my students come away from our sessions...

...and allowing yourself to have what you need, even if it isn't seen as average. Too often, our schools value data over students and forget that education is about discovery and personal growth. As a teacher and tutor, I strive to understand my students individually as whole, complex people. In doing so, I am able to better reach the person in front of me, utilizing their unique interests and talents while meeting their needs.

...In the past, I have also run simulations with high school students for academic conferences. While volunteering in Peru, I tutored students at an all-girls orphanage in a bilingual environment. Throughout high school, I also helped students prepare for standardized examinations such as the SAT, ACT, SAT subject tests, AP Exams and Regents examinations. I am eager to work with students in these areas, with a particular emphasis on reading, writing, and history. My experience...

I'm a graduate of Northeastern University, having earned a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry with a minor in History. I'm passionate about cancer research and I'm currently a PhD student at Yale. I find that there is not one tutoring style that fits every student. People learn in different ways, and I make sure to adjust my tutoring style accordingly.

...Spanish, and science. Two summers ago, I ran my own tutoring business, where I tutored math through Algebra II (helping a student through her online class), ACT/SAT prep for a rising 9th grader, reading comprehension and writing skills for a rising 5th grader, Geometry (with the hopes of skipping 8th grade math) for a rising 8th grader, and homework help for a variety of students. I very much enjoy working with students of all ages...

...undergraduate, I completed art historical archival research in which I translated French letters from the 1910s into English to construct an ownership paper trail for medieval artwork owned by the Metropolitan Museum. While I am most knowledgeable about French language and literature, my academic expertise qualifies me to tutor a wide-ranging variety of history and English courses. As an avid reader, especially of 19th century English/French novels, I am passionate about linguistics, which makes me...

...beyond the instructor's knowledge, revealing new perspectives. Creating daily classroom dialogue, marked by student engagement through questions and peer or instructor interaction, is a primary goal. This engagement evolves into discussions where students connect the material to their experiences, enhancing understanding. Achieving this requires active facilitation, not just open discussion. Employing visual aids is one means to help students link information, recognize relationships, and build a lasting, analytical understanding, but it is far from the...

...Tutor in the Writing Center for three years at Cornell College, where I earned my Bachelor's in English Literature and Secondary Education while running on the Track and Field team.

I'd be happy to work with you on Reading Fundamentals, Writing Clarity, Essay-Writing Strategy, English Language Exams (and Standardized Tests), College...

...broad range of subjects, my strengths are within English and Writing. I believe that quality education should be relevant to students, so I try to connect each lesson or topic with something that students care about.

...SAT Critical Reading and Spanish. I always make sure to customize my lessons to the personalities and learning styles of my students and try to incorporate a variety of resources and exercises whenever possible. I think that one-on-one tutoring is an interactive process that should include lots of back-and-forth communication. Learning new concepts, especially ones that are initially challenging, is an exciting and enriching experience for me, and I hope to share that excitement with...

...enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors...

...and work. Additionally, I have experience working with all types of students--from competitive high school seniors to underprivileged primary school children in an underdeveloped country. My colleagues would describe me as a poised, energetic, conversational, musical people-person. My work demonstrates my strengths in cultural competency, teamwork, and communication, while also showcasing my flexibility and willingness to learn new tasks, even with little-to-no experience. When outside the classroom, I can be found running around the Chestnut...
