Award-Winning High School English Tutors serving Brookline, MA

Hi there! I am a Boston resident who has been teaching for over 6 years, and I love working one-on-one with students. Math is my favorite subject but I am interested in tutoring for any subject ranging from Kindergarten to Algebra and Geometry.

I have taught English, French, and Latin at both the middle school and high school levels. I have also tutored students in individual and group settings for the reading and writing portions of the SAT. ... My goals as an educator are to build student confidence, and to help students to set and reach measurable markers of progress....

...in all styles of writing, ELA, the grammar/mechanics of the English language, psychology, and college admissions essay writing. I also tutor standardized test prep for the SAT, PSAT, ACT, MTEL, ACCUPLACER, and AP Lang and Comp test. All practice materials are included with my test prep curricula!

...will discuss either their writing, an assignment or a piece of literature as if we were having a conversation rather than a lesson. I find that students respond better to learning when they can actively contribute to discussions without simply listening to everything the instructor says. I am deeply passionate about teaching and exploring different forms of writing with students, introducing them to new ways of thinking about literature and even their own writing that...

...school and I always understood how important this profession is. I was lucky to have been given very good tutors and now is the time to be an even better tutor and help others. I've worked with a few people over the last 3 years. I helped a lot of kids in my school with maths and physics. In College I helped my peers with the Chemical Principles course, as I have covered all the...

...as my teaching style, I stand by the following 5 values: collaboration, pragmatism, creativity, calm & balance. I believe that the root of solving any issue in this world stems from attaining education and by using my passion for educating to help future generations gain the tools of success, I can help them build a better world of tomorrow. With my international background, having studied & worked in Switzerland, Kenya & Bangladesh, I have experience...

...The trick is unlocking what that is in a safe and nurturing environment. We learn through doing, through mistakes, through trying things a few different ways. Conventional teaching methods don't always allow this level of individualization. We learn and remember the most when we're actively engaged, enjoying what we're learning, having fun, and making meaningful connections. Learning is not simply memorization, it is being firmly rooted in the knowledge where you yourself could explain it...

...felt disconnected from my community and my frequently returned to my education experiences—particularly those in Spain—which were essential in my personal growth. With that in mind, I made the decision to leave the publishing industry and pursue a Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics at the University of Massachusetts, Boston. Ultimately, my degrees will prepare me to work with English Language Learners but I have wide-ranging personal interests and the interdisciplinary degree I received at...

...focus on building the student’s confidence in learning in general, as well as the subject they are working on. A younger student is learning for the first time, and the process can be intimidating, especially if his or her peers are learning at a rate different from their own. If a younger student associates learning with a negative experience early in life, their learning and their outlook on school will be negatively affected. Thus, I...

...aspire to be a published author in the near future, until then I am working on my writing and helping others to develop as writers. Since graduation I have worked in a variety of jobs involving education. I was a peer college tutor, supplemental instruction leader, teaching assistant, and most recently a full time tutor at City on a Hill Public Charter School. I love seeing students grow in confidence as readers and writers. My...

...enjoy helping others identify and reach their learning goals. I recently graduated from the Harvard Graduate School of Education with my Ed.M. and have experience teaching people of all ages in museums over the past two years. Prior to that, I worked as a registered nurse for five years where I often did patient education in the middle of fast-paced, high pressure scenarios. I believe everyone has the capacity to succeed academically. However, each person's...

The arts and artists are an integral part of the solution to the challenges we face in all parts of our society.” I am also interested in international arts policy, having visited over 25 countries while living and working abroad for more than four years. I am passionate about exploring the ways that the arts can unite disparate cultures and communities. I...

...learning style of the individual with whom I am working. I am driven by my passion for science, English, writing, literature and Spanish. I am excited to revisit these academic interests as a tutor during my "gap year" before I attend medical school next year. Although I spend a lot of time with "my nose in the books," I pounce on any excuse to go outdoors during my free time. I play soccer and lacrosse,...

...ideas, practicing languages, and learning about other times. Tutoring is not just a chance to catch up or review materials but also an opportunity for collaboration, participation and the development of ideas, knowledge and learning strategies. I like taking an interactive approach with students and making sure that everyone stays engaged and that students work through materials themselves. I have a BA in Literature (English and French) from a top US university and a MA...

...B.A. in Political Science from the University of Maine, I worked in an urban school in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston to help students achieve higher marks in English/Language Arts and Math.

I primarily tutor middle school, high school, and AP US History, middle and high school Civics and Government, middle and high school English/ELA, and...

I recently completed my Masters degree in Neuroscience at Trinity College, Dublin. Prior to pursuing my Masters I received a B.A. in Psychology from Emmanuel College, Boston. I plan on starting my PhD next year, and would ultimately like to become a professor. I want to teach because I have always enjoyed learning and helping other people to do the same.

...question will ever leave you puzzled. Everyone that I have ever tutored has walked out more passionate about the subject, even if it was one they initially hated. They have always had better grades than when they started, and I have been lucky enough to help many of my tutees gain entrance into their dream schools, like UCLA. I must admit that I do not only live studying for MCATs and tutoring, and enjoy cooking...

I have long enjoyed enjoyed working with others to help them achieve personal goals. Some of the most fulfilling tutoring I have done recently have been tutoring immigrants for the US Citizenship Test, helping formerly incarcerated individuals attain their GEDs, and tutoring children in Honduras on conversational English to obtain high-paying jobs in the tourism industry. I'm thrilled to work with anybody on any subjects of interest, reach out with any questions!

...Iowa City Community School District. I thoroughly enjoy helping students understand that while literature is often written in a style that can be hard to understand, it touches on experiences and emotions that are common to us all. While all students have different learning styles, they also all have the ability to learn and enjoy education. Particularly in the global society, education and the ability to think critically are essential foundations for success in high...
