Award-Winning AP English Language and Composition Tutors serving Smithtown, NY

...over eight years of teaching and tutoring experience. I have worked with many different kinds of learners during my career as a public school teacher, and I understand that every student has their own unique way of growing and of mastering skills. I have experience teaching a wide variety of literature and non-fiction texts and am very familiar with the Common Core and its emphasis on research skills. I especially enjoy teaching writing; I myself...

I am currently a graduate student at Stony Brook University. I am working towards a Master of Arts in Teaching English, as well as a Master of Arts in English. I graduated from SUNY New Paltz in 2016 with a Bachelor of Arts in English. I have a great love of books and writing--my favorite literary era is the Victorian period which I have studied extensively. I...

As career educator who is also a former procrastinator, I am well-equipped to assist students in a variety of academic subjects and study skills. I've taught middle and high school students, and spent the past 10 years teaching English Lit and Composition to college and post graduate students.

...and took education classes for which I observed K-12 classrooms. Since graduation, I have earned a TEFL certification which I used at the beginning of this year to teach English in Germany. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about reading, writing, and ESL. In my experience helping college students with writing for any discipline (whether it was a creative short story, lab report, or history thesis), I have received...

...a love for learning! I graduated summa cum laude from Coastal Carolina University with a degree in Musical Theater and a minor in Communication. But don't let the singing and dancing fool you--I graduated high school with a 4.3 GPA and was able to test out of all my GenEds with the help of AP testing. I love cooking, baking, theater (obviously), pro football and dinosaurs. I look forward to helping more students achieve their...

...became interested. I have been in love with art since preschool and it was my wonderful teachers and tutors growing up that encouraged me to continue doing what I love for the rest of my life, which is anything art related. I would also love to encourage kids of all ages to have fun with art because it is an amazing way to learn about the world, as well as creatively express ourselves. I have...

I believe in instilling an understanding of the subject or topic in my student rather than simply regurgitating test strategies. To this end I actively seek to engage with my students and find points of interest for them to explore within the material we are learning. I hold that every student has the potential to learn every subject as a fundamental truth of education.

I love learning, I am a constant student. Always learning, always trying to expand and grow. I love helping people find the joy in learning.

...learning journey. I obtained my BFA in Musical Theatre from the Westminster Choir College at Rider University. My personalized approach, interactive teaching style, and commitment to your success will ensure a rewarding and enriching tutoring experience. When I'm not tutoring, I love to pursue my other passions. Currently, I am a company member of the Broadway National Tour of Pretty Woman: The Musical, where my love for performing shines. In my free time, you can...

...understanding, improve their test scores, and foster an overall sense of well-being. While I enjoy tutoring a wide range of subjects, I am particularly passionate about Math, Spanish, and English. It gives me great joy to help students make a satisfying breakthrough on subjects that appear to be scary or mundane, proving to them that nothing is impossible! My primary goal as a tutor is to ignite a love for learning, as I believe that...

...I have a Master of Arts in English from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. and a Bachelor of Arts in International Affairs and French Language and Literature from George Washington University. I spent a year directly enrolled in the French Literature department at the Universit de Strasbourg in Strasbourg, France. Prior to returning to teaching, I worked in a variety of non-profit support functions, such as administration, operations, accounting, and finance in Strasbourg and Washington,...

...these subjects allow for a vivid use of imagination and creativity. I love making "mind movies" when I read social studies passages because it makes me feel like I am back in time, experiencing the historical event for myself. I believe that students learn best when they are immersed in the material. Students cannot be expected to learn just by listening to a teacher talk about a concept. I am a supporter of using visuals,...

...things I got most excited about were the educational parts of the jobs. I loved when I could help a client understand something about the healthcare or legal system that they could continue to use after our appointment. My love of education confirmed, I went back to school for teaching Spanish and English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). My program allowed me to live in Madrid another year and work again as a teacher's assistant....

...for AP exam week, pre-med course midterms, MCAT, medical school finals, or my USMLE Step exams, I always found that the best way to manage stress, avoid burnout, and memorize material effectively was to make it fun rather than a chore. By combining my hobby of performing improvisational comedy with my passion for teaching, I've developed an engaging style of tutoring over my 3 years of experience as a college and med school TA. After...

...School for Education in New Haven, CT. I am originally from New Jersey, and have been living in Connecticut for a year now; so far I love it here!

I am going to be a high school English teacher, so that is my passion. I can help with Social Studies, Global Studies,...

...feel confident in my ability to help your child achieve mastery in English writing, literature and reading comprehension, whether they are preparing for the SATs or a class test. My SAT score was a 2340 (in addition to top scores of 5 on both English AP tests); with my help your child can reach their target scores, too. I'm looking forward to combining my tutoring skills and expert grasp of the English language in order...

...for anybody, so that's not how I teach. I try to de-mystify the subject from the outset, starting with acknowledging and building on what students already know - usually more than they think. I've studied a lot of languages (Spanish, Latin, French, Turkish, Attic Greek, Ancient Hebrew, and, of course, English) and I've learned that a lot of the principles of communication are universal. If you're reading this, you already know one language, so you've...

...out of their experiences. For much of my early life, I grew up feeling that I had many learning disabilities and that I could not learn and think like the other kids and was dumber because of it. However, from experience, I have realized that just because you think differently, that it doesn't mean that you think "worse" than everyone else. Learning this invaluable lesson through my own experiences makes me jump at the prospect...
