Award-Winning High School English Tutors serving Fairfield, CT

...am a current undergraduate Junior studying Behavioral Biology and Spanish at Boston University! Whether it be tedious SAT/ACT sections or intimidating college essays, I hope to make these seemingly difficult subjects a little less stressful for you! And remember: No question is ever a dumb question! I have been in you or your child's exact position and have been through nearly a dozen tutors in my academic career myself. I look forward to meeting you...

...while also developing language skills. I have also tutored individuals in French and English, primarily aiding them after school with homework help, but also teaching new and more challenging concepts to keep them ahead of their class. As someone who was tutored in math all throughout high school, I can really relate to both sides of the tutoring process! I am a very patient and dedicated individual and I am committed to understanding your child's...

...Engineering What is your favorite subject(s) to tutor and why? I love tutoring math, science and history! How would you describe your teaching philosophy/your tutoring style? I'm a big believer in the Socratic Method and allowing the student to realize the answer through curiosity. What interests you outside of academia? Ah, reading, tennis and DIY. I'm a bit frugal and love learning, so learning how to do random things inside and outside of the house...

...testing has its share of flaws. But the tests aren't unfair or unbeatable; they challenge you to learn a specific language. I don't mean the fancy vocabulary you'll want in a verbal section, but the forms and patterns of the questions themselves. With thoughtful effort, any student can learn to understand the language of test-taking. As someone lucky enough to be fluent, I hope to share with others what I have gained.

...others. When I'm not writing, I am an avid digester of all things cultural. Films, books, art, blogs, music, memes - I enjoy being in tune with the culture. This desire also fuels another passion of mine: traveling. I have been all over the world and aspire to travel somewhere new every year. Having this deep fondness to experience culture, whether it's visiting a dive bar in Greece or reading a book from the New...

I have been tutoring and teaching for the last 12 years. Throughout my early years of service working with various ages of students in middle school, high school, and at the college level, I had concluded that I could best serve mankind by teaching inner city students in secondary school to learn to read and write through the appreciation of literature.

I am a first-year at Northeastern University and I am working towards a degree in Data Science and Business Administration with a concentration in management. My favorite subject is Calculus. I also enjoy writing. I enjoy tutoring middle and elementary school since I have younger siblings and am able to connect to younger people better.

...In addition, I worked as an administrator for colleges in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Ohio, specializing in academic advising, transfer admissions, and strategic planning for offices of enrollment management. Learning a new concept can be difficult. I never forgot what it was like to be a student (I'm right there with you now!) and the fears, hopes, and anxieties that come with the territory. I believe in using real-world examples and materials that interest YOU while...

...endeavor, and I believe that is how we all learn best. After all, no two students are alike. By providing a comfortable demeanor coupled with expert knowledge of the subject area, I can help a student learn in the best way possible. My favorite subjects are and have always been foreign languages (particularly Spanish and French), math, and writing mechanics. I am also very familiar with all aspects of the college admissions process, including essays...

...As a tutor, I work with the student's strengths and weaknesses to help him/her learn. I earned a Ph.D. in political science from Johns Hopkins University, where I also taught. Although I enjoyed teaching on the university level, I missed the engagement one develops in a more individualized setting like tutoring. I also earned a BA from Columbia University in Comparative Literature which required me to read, write and speak in French, German and Spanish....

I'm an engineering student with a rich background in public speaking and natural sciences willing to help anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of any subject. I understand that a conventional or traditional approach is not always the best means for learning.

...time to make sure that the student understands the new or difficult concepts so that he/she can feel confident in the subject and in himself/herself before we move on. I strive to create an environment that is both comfortable and productive, and I am not afraid to use technology and humor to help a student learn and retain new material. In my free time, I like to walk around the city in search of street...

...to be able to inspire and impact the lives of others so that they may grow stronger. As of December 16, 2016, I will have earned my master's degree in Middle Childhood and Adolescent English Education. I have been student-teaching middle school students for the 2016 school year. In addition to these degrees, I have four years of professional teaching experience. I specialize in writing, editing, close reading and developing comprehension skills.... My teaching philosophy is...

In addition to my private tutoring activities, I was also a TA to an introductory science course at Cornell. In this position, I lectured weekly to a section of 15 undergraduate students and learned how to engage students in course material. In my free time, I enjoy cooking new recipes,...

Regarding my education, I am a graduate from The Taft School in Watertown, CT and am currently a junior at Tufts University.

During medical school, I have mentored underclassmen on coursework as well as the USMLE...

...material. In the past I have made interactive games, songs, and helped walk students through diagrams and graphs that help elucidate information. When teaching, I am patient, persistent, and thorough. I know from my own studying at school, that not all concepts come as easily as others, and that sometimes an idea may seem clear only to suddenly slip away. So I make sure to check in with whoever I am helping to make sure...

...as a tutor to assist students in skills that re-enforce their learning not just in one area but in all. I have experience in common core pushing students to expand their close reading skills and defend their point of view. As a tutor I also know that students who are engaged in fun, authentic activities will be much more engaged in their learning. As a tutor I know that getting to know the students I...

...greater feeling than finally understanding a concept you have been struggling with. I understand that no two people learn in the same way, so I emphasize flexibility in my teaching. With some dedication, there is truly no subject that cannot be mastered. Any lesson from me includes tips on note taking, study skills, and test-taking, which I believe are the foundations of academic achievement. Although I am studying business, I firmly believe in the power...
