Stephanie
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +54 Subjects
I am a senior at Yale studyung Neuroscience and History of Science, Medicine, and Public Health. I am a graduate of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme and a recipient of the IB Diploma. My academic background includes extensive experience in rigorous college level classes at the IB and Advanced Placement (AP) level. As a member of my school's math honor society, Mu Alpha Theta, I have volunteered my time at a local middle school to tutor students in different math levels from pre-Algebra to Geometry. I also absolutely love languages. Aside from being a native Spanish speaker, I have been studying Italian for the last four years and feel confident tutoring in these subjects. Another subject I enjoy tutoring is Standardized Testing, where I help high school students prepare for exams like the SAT, PSAT, and ACT. Preparing for these exams is crucial in order to achieve a good score, and I always make sure that my students are comfortable with both the format and the material on each exam. As a student, I know how important tutoring is, not only to improve grades but also to gain a better understanding of the material. Whenever I dedicate time to tutoring, I try to keep things engaging and fun. Motivation is definitely a key to success, and I believe that with the right encouragement and guidance any student can achieve their goals. Hobbies: books, writing, reading, traveling, music, art, travel

Katherine
Calculus Tutor • +42 Subjects
I am willing to help a student reach higher grades, but more important to me than the grade is that the student is actually getting something out of what we are doing, and truly learning, not just retaining information, but engaging with the material and enjoying what they are learning. I firmly believe that hard work pays off, and with the right encouragement and help, a student can achieve anything they set their mind to. You're never to old to learn something new, and the doorways opened by education are endless. Hobbies: travel, reading, music, writing, art, books, traveling, photography
Margaret
Middle School Math Tutor • +43 Subjects
I am a Stanford student from Maryland studying Political Science and Computer Science. I graduated from high school in 2015, where I was active as the captain of my high school sailing team, a section leader in the orchestra, and part of the STEM magnet program Project Lead the Way. I am currently taking some time off from school to be around family here in Massachusetts and while I will be taking a few classes, I have plenty of time and lots of flexibility. I am excited to work with middle and high school students in math, reading and writing, social studies, and computer science. In addition to taking classes and tutoring this fall I will be volunteering in after school programs with low income middle and elementary school students.

Frequently Asked Questions
Italian verb conjugation is notoriously complex because verbs change not just for tense but also for person, mood, and aspect—with three different conjugation patterns (regular -are, -ere, -ire verbs plus many irregulars). Most students memorize tables without understanding the underlying patterns, which leads to errors in conversation. A tutor breaks conjugation into logical chunks, connects patterns across tenses, and uses conversation practice to make conjugations automatic rather than something you have to think through.
Classroom settings rarely give students enough speaking time—you might get a few minutes per class. Personalized tutoring provides sustained, real-time conversation where a tutor listens, corrects pronunciation and grammar naturally, and adjusts difficulty to keep you challenged without overwhelming you. Tutors can focus on your specific weak points (like rolling your R's, getting prepositions right, or thinking faster) and create scenarios that matter to you—whether that's ordering food in Rome or discussing your career in Italian.
Italian pronunciation is more consistent than English, but non-native speakers often struggle with vowel sounds (which are pure and short), consonant clusters, and stress patterns that shift meaning (like 'pésca' vs 'pesCÀ'). A tutor can model correct pronunciation, listen to your speech in real time, and give you targeted feedback on specific sounds. Regular practice with a native or near-native speaker helps your ear attune to Italian rhythm and intonation, which native speakers notice immediately.
Cramming vocabulary lists doesn't stick because your brain needs spaced repetition and retrieval practice—seeing a word once isn't enough. A good tutor helps you learn words in context (through conversation, reading, or real scenarios you care about), reviews strategically over time, and pushes you to use new words immediately in speaking and writing. This approach anchors vocabulary to meaning and usage patterns rather than isolated English translations, making recall faster and more natural.
The most effective approach balances both: you need grammar foundations to speak accurately, but learning grammar in isolation (endless conjugation tables and subjunctive mood rules) doesn't translate to real conversation. Skilled tutors weave grammar into conversation—they explain why you'd use the subjunctive in a specific sentence, practice that structure in dialogue, and move on. This way, grammar becomes a tool for communication rather than an abstract system, and you develop intuition for what sounds right.
Language and culture are inseparable—Italian expressions, idioms, and communication styles reflect Italian values and history. For example, understanding Italian family dynamics helps you grasp why certain phrases matter, or knowing Italian cinema and literature opens doors to authentic listening and reading material. Tutors who weave cultural context into lessons help you understand not just what Italians say, but why they say it, which deepens comprehension and makes your Italian feel more genuine and connected to real life.
Beginners need foundational grammar, pronunciation, and confidence-building through structured lessons and lots of repetition of core patterns. Advanced learners struggle differently—they need nuance (subjunctive mood subtleties, regional dialects, formal vs. informal registers), exposure to authentic media, and conversation on complex topics to reach fluency. A tutor tailors the pace, complexity, and focus based on where you are, pushing you past plateaus that self-study often can't break through.
Reading and writing reinforce each other and deepen grammar understanding in ways speaking alone doesn't. A tutor can assign reading at your level (short stories, news articles, or texts matched to your interests), discuss them in Italian to build comprehension, and have you write responses or journal entries that get corrected and refined. This balanced approach means you're not just memorizing for conversation—you're building literacy skills that help you consume Italian media independently and express yourself in writing with confidence.
