...for lots of excuses to work on reading, writing, public speaking, French, history and even test prep. I love exploring new ideas, practicing languages, and learning about other times.

I like taking an interactive approach with students and making sure that everyone stays engaged and that students...

...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 with not only the scores or grades they desire, but a deeper understanding of the topics and skills that will continue to benefit them beyond test day. In my spare time I love...

...piece of paper, or even an experience, but a genuine love of learning and an ability to inspire others with that same enthusiasm. I can tutor any number of things given my wide ranging background, but my chief areas of expertise are in the political, historical and Classical realms as well as in test-taking and writing. In my free time I like eating an excess of chocolate and burning it off through long bike rides.

...I was previously Artistic Director, and I write for an online singer's magazine, Modern Singer Magazine. Tutoring Experience: I have 3 years of experience tutoring ages 9-16. My last two years of high school, I volunteer tutored middle school students for my chapter of the National Honors Society in math, reading, social studies, Spanish, and science. Two summers ago, I ran my own tutoring business, where I tutored math through Algebra II (helping a student...

...they can effortlessly pick up, and creativity is not instantly fluid. Bearing that in mind, I use a Socratic method to draw out ideas and key words and phrases when helping students come up with responses to creative writing essay questions, i.e., the kind given on SATs, ACTs and on college essays. Usually, by the end of the session, they find out that they need a lot less help than they thought! I have also...

By working for two very different universities, I have experience working with a variety of students in multiple subjects, ranging from English and History papers at Connecticut College to Nautical and Marine Science papers at the Coast Guard Academy. As a...

...be feared. My tutoring style is very focused, fun, and relaxed. I believe students do best when in a calm, encouraging atmosphere. I never stray from the task at hand, but I do introduce a certain level of silliness and play in my teaching. I think this makes a student more open to learning and more available to growth in a subject. My theater background has helped me learn a variety of memorization techniques that...

Currently I am a student at Stony Brook university who is planning on going into Computer Science. I am very excited as a new tutor to be able to teach computer science and hope to be able to tutor many people to my best abilities.

...in the intersection of the two. I have also taken 2+ years of chemistry, biology, anatomy, etc. I hope to obtain my M.D. in the future and work towards a DrPH as well. In my free time, I love to explore the city, go to museums, national parks, and just adventure with my friends. But sometimes I like those quiet days reading about astrophysics in my free time! When I interact with my students, they're...

...rewarding it is to help students understand material and become more successful in their educational paths. Having been both homeschooled and a student at school, I have a unique philosophy on education. I believe that learning material at your own pace skimming over the information you know well and spending more time on what you find difficult is crucial. I also think that truly understanding the material on a deeper level is more important and...

I enjoy Teaching...

...an educator, I strive to provide each student with the concrete strategies that allow readers to make meaning of text, and to clearly express ideas through writing. I make my process as a reader and writer transparent, and I've seen my students try out those steps, and make progress. With progress comes enthusiasm, and eagerness to make those steps their own -- that is when they soar! While I've worked most extensively with middle school...

As a graduate student at Boston College, I believe that education can open new opportunities throughout life. With two years of volunteer tutoring experience, with both 4th and 8th graders, I believe in making learning fun, relevant and interactive. Every single student learns differently and it is vital to learn how each student learns in order to aid them in succeeding.

I am a recent graduate of Tufts University with experience tutoring primarily middle-school age students in English, science, math and history, and adult learners in politics. I am especially passionate about reading and writing, and increasing literacy with my students. Outside of tutoring, I currently work for a tech company in Somerville, and I enjoy exploring the city, playing the piano and guitar, and writing.

...I spend as much time listening as instructing. My goal is to help a student gain greater understanding of the material but just as importantly to help build confidence through practice and instruction that is customized to meet a particular student's needs. I think the best tutoring session occurs when there is a give-and-take of questions, responses and recommended solutions: maintaining a dialogue is vital. I find it very rewarding when I observe one of...

...as people, to think about the world differently, so that, regardless of what they might face in their future, they will be in a position to succeed. At Syracuse University, I majored in philosophy and English and graduated summa cum laude.

Pedagogically, I incorporate...
