...to make learning fun and rewarding. I especially love teaching reading and writing and I have taught or tutored these subjects to students ranging from kindergarten through adults. I also have experience tutoring test prep subjects and focus both on the content material and test taking skills. My passion is psychology and I have been able to use my graduate training in human development to tailor my instruction to students' individual learning needs.

I am a teacher of writing and literature with two Masters from Salem State University, one in English and one in Teaching English. I currently teach high school English, although I am a former biopharmaceutical engineer. I love rhetoric, writing pedagogy, digital composition, and feminist critical theory.

...to collegiate level and would love to use my experience and expertise to help students master new concepts and skills. I would characterize my tutoring style as positive and persistent, but above all, I like to tailor my approach to best suit the needs and learning style of each individual student. My specialties are test prep (AP/SAT/ACT/SSAT) and science subjects, including biology, chemistry, and physics. I am also experienced with tutoring US and world history,...

...and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I 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,...

As a master's student and former medical student, I know how challenging academics can be. I also know how having a helping hand, a guidance through the confusion, can help one gain confidence in themselves to excel. From tutoring children to post-graduates, I have seen that all students (no matter their age, level of education, strengths, weaknesses, etc.) who are willing to learn can succeed. ... In a typical first session, the student and I usually...

...opportunity to live in Spain for 6 months, where I became fluent in Spanish and developed a love for tutoring English language learners. Since graduation, I have worked with students at Midtown Educational Foundation and other extracurricular programs, and am currently pursuing a Masters of Arts in Teaching English. I tutor a wide range of subjects, although I am most passionate about English, Spanish, and Writing. I am an advocate of student-centered tutoring, and my...

Learning is about more than the subject at hand; it's about finding the ways in which you learn best 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...

I am an undergraduate at Brown University concentrating in Education and American Studies. I have experience working with elementary, middle, and high school students as a tutor in individual learning environments. I have also worked as a museum educator and a camp counselor. My goal is to help students by engaging them in their learning, setting challenges, and empowering them succeed. My passion is working with students until the "aha!" moment when students know how...

...from a small college preparatory school in Connecticut as a member of the class of 2017, and am entering my freshman year at Northeastern University. I love to read and write, interests that have honed my writing skills and earned me places on the editing staffs of my high school newspaper and literary magazine. I hope that I can use my love of writing to help you in your own academic endeavors!

...to score a 5 on the AP Chemistry exam. History also requires a lot of time and effort, especially with memorization, synthesis, and learning how to craft an argument for historical writing. Given my own experiences with academics and tutoring, I can offer support across a range of subjects including middle and high school math, high school biology and chemistry, and writing and study support in English and History. A little more about me! I...

...issues regarding Healthcare Delivery. Throughout college, I had extensive experience tutoring. I tutored writing/essay editing and SAT prep for a year, as well as high school math for a semester. Furthermore, I participated in a week-long Spring Break tutoring program in New Orleans, where I tutored 3rd and 4th grade students in math. Lastly, I spent a month teaching computer literacy to health workers in rural Togo in the summer of 2013. I find tutoring...

...Sheltered English Immersion endorsement (grades 5-12) and my Bachelor's Degree in English from Westfield State University. Tutoring is one of my favorite forms of teaching. There is no better moment than when a student is able to figure something out in their own way (aka the lightbulb moment). I tutor a variety of subjects! I am well-rounded, though, my largest amount of experience is with Reading, Writing, ELA, Special Education, and test prep (SAT, MCAS,...

...schools (in both the greater Boston area as well as in St. Louis) to volunteering at a school for autistic young adults. My favorite subjects to tutor are math and science, since they are the two subjects I have been passionate about my whole life. I am, however, also comfortable with many other subjects, including french and writing skills. Additionally, I really enjoy helping students prep for standardized testing, particularly the SATs. My tutoring style...

...extra help. During a typical meeting 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...

...however, writing is not a skill 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...

...work as a team with students and parents to develop learning goals. I help students to develop ownership over their own learning, and to feel successful about the skills they are developing as they continue to progress. I have worked with students as an SAT preparatory tutor, as an ESL tutor, and in an elementary school classroom as a student teacher. I am passionate about every subject I tutor, but my personal strengths are in...

...and rewarding careers to have. Although I enjoy working with a larger classroom of students, I especially enjoy working 1-on-1 with students. There is incredible joy in working together to make progress towards a goal, or to discover capacities students didn't even know they had. Tutoring is a place where I strive not just to "teach something" but to work with the student to help them explore and discover their own abilities, and find strategies...

...passion of mine throughout my entire life. My approach to tutoring is to do it with all the seriousness and focus it requires, while always being sure to lighten it a bit with a sense of humor (I got my start as a comedy writer while at Columbia). I have varied interests outside of tutoring, all of which tend to run toward the artistic. I am an avid film-goer and a regular attendee of the...

...grow their skills and confidence in their abilities! As an AP Seminar and AP Research teacher for several years, I have been able to watch 9th and 10th grade students feel more confident in not only their writing ability but also their public speaking as a result of these classes. My goal is to help the students I tutor feel the same way about their writing as a result of their sessions with me!

...classrooms from preschool through second grade for the past 15 years.) Teaching has been a lifelong passion and a second career for me; prior to teaching, I worked in the business world for many years. Working with young children is something I thoroughly enjoy!
