Award-Winning High School English Tutors serving Connecticut

...of three daughters (15, 12 and 8), I am very experienced in working with children and teens and motivating them to succeed at schoolwork and writing (without doing the work for them!). As a marketing manager for a major publisher of children's content, my job requires me to tackle writing projects every day with the aim of really getting the message across. Both of these attributes will help my students as they work on reading,...

...then I will be attending law school in the fall. I have tutored throughout my college career and am CRLA study skills certified.

...a summer camp at Domus Stamford, where I taught Chemistry and Martial arts for two weeks to middle school and elementary school students. I have also coached my school's Chemistry Olympiad team, so I am comfortable with competition Chemistry as well. I have over three hundred hours of tutoring and teaching experience in subjects like Math, Chemistry, and English. Tutoring STEM subjects is always fun for my students and me, because it is always interesting...

...academic help. I can keep a child engaged and keep to the subject matter. My strong suits are the basic sciences of Chemistry and Physics as well as Mathematics. I have taught the essentials of mechanics and engineering using Lego and I have taught the basics of civics and business as a Junior Achievement teacher in the upper elementary schools. I worked with adults as an English as a Second Language Teacher as well.

I have also taught Criminal Justice at the New Rochelle campus of Monroe College. I found that when I began teaching at Monroe College, an institution...

...receiving my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. This experience broadened my worldview and gave me a greater insight into language learning. I have experience teaching a wide range of students, from new learners to intermediate and advanced. I have worked with students one on one, as well as with larger classes with a variety of learner types. My first priority is student understanding; to ensure that my students...

...kennings, metonymy, and metaphor in Old English. I plan to teach at the university level, bringing an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the English language through historical texts and culture. I am a strong advocate for the theory of Linguistic Relativism, which posits a link between culture and language expression. I employ this approach to explore Anglo-Saxon culture and ideologies through language and literature. I enjoy reading about language and history. I love historical...

I think that problem-solving is a very important life skill that manifests no matter what field...

...living and working in Laos, where I've had the pleasure of teaching so many incredible students. In my previous job, I taught English in classrooms, tutored individual students, provided online classes, and even helped to developed workshops in subjects like environmental protection, computer basics, and menstrual health. I trained adults to teach English as a second language and get comfortable teaching in front of a class, often for the first time! I have found that...

...of course. 'Mom's homework' was our way into the best private schools in the northeast. My own children - my autistic son and my intellectually gifted daughter - did 'Mom's homework' as well, which enabled them to reach their own intellectual bests. I believe that children have exactly one chance at a good education track. A good tutor can hone skills that might not have been properly nurtured in the usual academic setting. I've been...

...about helping students find confidence and clarity in their studies. My tutoring experience spans from helping peers refine their essays, walking classmates through tricky historical texts, and supporting younger students in building strong study habits. I specialize in English Literature, Political Science, History, and essay writing, and I especially love working on literary analysis and academic writing. There's something incredibly satisfying about helping a student untangle a dense text or transform a scattered idea into...

...incorporating various materials and hands-on, fun approaches to learning. If it's clever and fun you will remember! The more the material is connected to daily living the more we invest ourselves and are willing to work for it. I also think a sense of humor is extremely helpful to learning-I will make any student smile which sets an upbeat tone for the session! I look forward to meeting you and making a learning connection!

...hold in order to raise my children. As my children reached school-age I made the decision to home-educate them. I have been teaching my own children for 10 years now and currently teach all subjects at the 5th and 8th grade levels. While homeschooling my children, I continue to tutor other students as well. Throughout this time I have been tutoring students in everything from sewing and crafting to learning to read to editing college...

...in my hometown. I love to make learning fun, because that's how I learn best. And I want that for my students as well. There's joy in learning and even more when you understand how and why things work. I dedicate myself to breaking things down in pieces that I understand and make learning as fun and relatable as possible. I'm passionate about teaching and removing those obstacles that make school "hard".

...Degree at Southern Connecticut State University in Healthcare. After discovering Healthcare was not for me, I returned to teaching to share my love of learning with my students and to feel the everyday thrill of watching them make progress. I have decided to complete my Master's Degree at Central Connecticut State University. I now have the honor of working one-on-one with exceptional youth who are adamant about maximizing their educational opportunities and realizing their full...

...and SAT II. I most often tutor high school and college students, but have found that young children are also some of my favorite to teach!

As a bilingual writer for the State Department and two publishing companies, I've learned effective writing skills I love...
