Award-Winning English Tutors in Pawtucket, RI

...need to build a great educational future! Prior to working as an elementary education teacher, I worked as a nanny and a teacher at a pre-k / preschool. I am a nurturing individual who values children and all the curiosity and joy they see and bring to the world. When I’m not teaching I like to be learning new things and keeping my mind sharp. I love to cook, play guitar, see live music, and...

...the process of learning a subject, working with them to uncover its inner logic and obtain the tools and knowledge they need to succeed as students. Finally, I think that learning is fun. I communicate that sense of enthusiasm to my students, so that they will be encouraged to exert the effort and focus necessary to achieve mastery over a subject. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with friends and family, going to...

...into a Master's program at NYU in Religious Studies. As a teaching assistant, I had the opportunity to talk to students about their papers and exams, and I discovered that I had a knack for getting people to relax and get into a subject, possibly because I love to tell corny jokes. While earning my PhD at Columbia University, I continued teaching, but I missed the more intimate setting of the small groups and office...

...any subject, I focus on study skills, critical thinking, and independent concept reinforcement so that soon the student will no longer need me to excel. Some of my own favorite subjects to study include languages (I’ve studied Arabic, Spanish, Latin, and a sprinkling of Japanese), medieval history, and electrical engineering. When I’m not tutoring, I spend my time writing and performing spoken word poetry, riding my bike around Boston, and learning to cook.

...particularly fond of Shakespeare (although there are a lot of students who don't agree with me!) but I also have experience reading other European and American literature. My history experiences covers Europe, America, and Latin America, although I have a special fondness for Tudor England (think Henry VIII and his wives), early American history, and classical cultures, like ancient Rome. I think that everybody can develop a love for history, they just need to approach...

...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 developing literacy skills (reading and writing) in students K-12. I care about my students, and work to incorporate my students' interests and strengths into each tutoring session. When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy exploring the Mass...

...nature makes it easy for my students to feel at ease and not to be intimidated by what they are learning. I also focus on my students’ learning styles so that each student can learn in the most productive and successful way possible. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy cooking, playing the piano, listening to music, trying new foods, traveling, and most of all spending time with my family and friends.... In a typical first session with a student, I might get to know the student by asking more questions about his/her interests, goals, learning style, and what has and hasn't worked in the past. I would also tell the student a little bit more about myself and how I like to tutor. Then, depending on the student's needs, we would typically work through a few initial practice problems to get an idea of our starting point.

...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 working with children expands beyond tutoring. I also have worked with students on their college essays. I absolutely enjoy working with...

...in a variety of subjects including Math, Latin, and Writing. I like to focus on any questions the student may have with the material and working on some examples before moving on to work on any assignments. My favorite subject to tutor is math because there is usually a simple way to explain a concept that clears away any confusion. In math, there are many right ways but only one right answer. In my free...

...optimized to a student's learning objectives. I possess excellent communication skills (high school national debater). Most importantly, I logged over a thousand hours teaching classes, tutoring students on all levels. As a bonus, my wife teaches writing at Harvard University and Princeton before that giving me an edge when reading essays and papers. In my spare time, I am avid tennis player and skier. I enjoy playing board games and card games.
