Award-Winning History Tutors in Connecticut

...I have taught multiple levels of mathematics at the university level. I have experience in helping students keep up with their studies and well as designing plans to help students advance through material at an accelerated pace. My academic interests are in resource economics though I have training in mathematics, the natural sciences, and public policy. Through my interests in music, teaching, and research the most valuable skill I have learned is the ability to...

...teaching that aims not only for understanding, but also for creating and encouraging interest in specific topics and in learning itself. While I agree that the goal of teaching is to help someone learn a certain topic, the greatest achievement in teaching I have experienced is giving someone the ability to reason, and the drive and ability to begin teaching themselves. I enjoy teaching certain topics because of their power to bring this about, including...

...actually taught all grades! While in the classroom, I taught core subjects to heterogeneously grouped students. For the last ten years, I have been an online tutor. My online students varied in abilities and geographical locations. I was even tasked with planning for and teaching homeschooled students with autism and dyslexia. I have given help in reading, language arts, math, writing, and teaching English to pupils of other languages. I have experience preparing students for...

...hasty answers to abstract questions, can play such a huge role in your future. My own experience as test-taker and test-teacher has convinced me that as a tool for evaluating students, standardized 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...

I am a junior at Johns Hopkins University studying biomedical engineering and applied mathematics. I have tutored elementary through high school students in my area in some capacity for the past four years. I am most passionate about math and science (particularly chemistry), though I am well versed in a broad range of subjects. In my spare time, I enjoy playing tennis and eating lots of good food.

...a part of the National Honor Society and for community service I volunteered at the local elementary school where I helped K-5 with spelling, phonics, reading, math, and science. Students of varying age groups would sit at one table and I would help each one individually, staying on my toes going from one subject to the next. In high school I was also the associate editor of our school news magazine for two years and...

...and something I always knew I wanted to pursue. Through my double major I honed my writing, research, and critical thinking skills, all of which have served me well. When I taught skiing, I found that the most effective way to teach was by connecting what the student was there to learn with things they enjoyed. While skiing and academia are different, both require a strong base of knowledge to pull from. It is so...

...working on overarching study skills and essay writing and have worked with students for whom English is a second language. I am most interested in tutoring the ACT Reading and English and SAT verbal sections, as this is where a majority of my experience lies. Prior to relocating to Connecticut for the time being, I was working as an English/verbal tutor at a tutoring agency based in Brooklyn. I am passionate about finding what works...

...math and hard sciences, such as biology, chemistry, and physics and have most experience tutoring middle school, high school, and college students. My mission is to develop students' problem-solving skills so that they can get to the answers on their own to not only improve their homework scores but also help on quizzes and tests through better knowledge of the material. I hope to be able to help you with all of your tutoring needs...

...my Masters of Education degree from American College of Education shows that I have learned something of education theory. However, my passion for learning and for helping others learn is what really drives my desire to tutor. I began by tutoring my peers in the math lab at college. Then I continued by teaching my own children for the last twenty-two years in our homeschool. Today, I tutor friends (old and new ones). From elementary...
