Award-Winning English Grammar and Syntax Tutors serving Connecticut

...classroom as a Jumpstart Corps Member taught me to adapt my teaching style to each childs needs. While some learned better through mnemonics and letter-to-word associations, others preferred to process information and teach content back to me themselves. The greatest lesson I've learned as a tutor is to first step back and let a student tell me their goals, show me how they take in information, and point me in the direction of the challenging...

...currently attending Connecticut College studying Psychology with a minor in Applied Statistics. I know how hard it can be to learn new material and to find a tutor a student can connect with.

In addition to tutoring, my interests include fashion and beauty, dance, hiking, and skiing.

...students who struggle with timed essays - I myself had to learn ways to complete them successfully, and I hope I can pass on some of these skills.

...cardinal importance to equally value the successful communication both of elementary topics, such as algebra 1 or German word order, and complex ones, such as deontological critiques of utilitarian ethics.

...I love tutoring many subjects and students of all ages, but I am especially passionate about reading. Struggling or reluctant readers often see reading as a chore, so I believe it is imperative to develop a student's love for literacy at the same time as their skill, no matter what age they are. When I'm not working, you can find me pleasure reading (often via audiobook!), running, watching soccer and football, or cooking.

...English, and writing in general, also allows the student to analyze information critically, which will help the student in every possible career choice. Personally, I grew up reading as much as I could, playing music, and studying film in order to understand as many aspects of the human condition as possible. I am a strong believer that when you take the time to study how something works, you can apply that investigative process to any...

Most recently, I have worked in a private school teaching grammar, pre-algebra, and physical science. My hobbies include piano, hiking, and singing. ... I make sure they...

Hello everyone! I love to learn and I love to help others learn. I'm a BS in Physics and I'm confident I can help with any math or physics....

Or, "When I divide by ten on this side what do I have to do to...

...Latin or English Literature. My philosophy is that students who are happy, engaged, and excited about the material, regardless of ability level, are the best learners. For test prep, this means avoiding the hysteria that many feel about the exams and focusing on the material itself with a realistic view of how to get the most out of the test. For Latin and English Literature, this means forgetting about right and wrong and discovering the...

...cultivating a variety and number of skill sets, some of which are academic and social in nature. While I certainly consider academic prowess important for the success of any instructor, I would say the most important skill set I have developed is that of adaptability. If a tutor can adapt him/herself to the mode and manner of thinking of another, the tutor, as well as the tutor's audience, will have especially effective and enriching transactions.

...an abundant background in and outside of the classroom working with students of all ages and ability levels. Over the years I have been a substitute and math/reading elementary school teacher, homeschool/at home instructor, private tutor, camp counselor and director.

I've also tutored students with learning disabilities.

Both of these attributes will help my students as they work on reading, writing and organizational tasks.

...classroom I love bringing the excitement and joy of reading alive for my students. As a teacher with years of experience, I have encountered scholars with diverse reading levels and abilities.
