Award-Winning History Tutors serving Greenwich, CT

...in New York. I'm continually learning, reading, and researching, and I enjoy sharing my understandings with others to help them do the same. I very much enjoy both "left-brained" and "right-brained" subjects (like math and art), and am fond of exploring either sort through the lens of the other. For this reason, I enjoy helping people who tend to prefer a particular mode to understand the other, in a language that makes sense to them.

...skills I find deeply rewarding to teach. My tutoring style is encouraging, adaptive, and centered on the student's goals. I believe in fostering a space where students feel heard, supported, and challenged to think independently. I strive to make difficult material not only understandable, but engaging and empowering. Outside of academics, I enjoy freelance writing, running, traveling, and cooking. I recently started a book club with friends, where we discuss fiction, history, and memoirs as...

...of the best programs in the country (the story of how I transitioned from physics to theater is pretty funny and I???m happy to share it). While my intensive study of advanced Math and Physics helps me tutor those subjects, I find my theater skills are just as valuable to effective teaching. As a playwright, I have learned to explain ideas efficiently, inspire excitement, and connect with an audience. Using these techniques, I hope to...

...me as I use the knowledge and skills I picked up in my studies, and during my experience as an educator. I have experience as a head classroom teacher, an assistant teacher and a tutor. My formal professional experience has been in grades one through high school, both in the states and in China. I have also tutored students from toddlers through the graduate school level. Tutoring with me will be warm and firm, as...

My goal is to impart the knowledge I have attained through my own education to students who need help. As a highly experienced college student who is great with children of all ages, I am offering my tutoring services to continue your child's education. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you might have!

I am passionate about educating all students from a variety of backgrounds and levels to their fullest potential.

...ideas to evaluating the logic of an argument to checking for grammar and spelling. From this experience I know that the hallmark of a great tutor is the ability to listen first before asking a multitude of questions. This philosophy allows for the pupil to show his or her understanding of the assignment and subject matter before the tutor makes any assumptions. As a result, the tutor can tailor an individual strategy for each student...

...Marshall College. Currently, I am finishing up a masters program at Vanderbilt University's Peabody College of Education where I will receive a degree and certification in Elementary Education. In addition to teaching both in the US and abroad (I taught English for 6 months in Thailand!), I have had several experiences tutoring, too. Beginning in high school and continuing in college and graduate school, I have tutored students in all elementary subjects and at the...

...of PA. While there, I studied History from around the world, with a concentration in both American and European Studies. As a high school student, I took AP Euro and AP US exams. I know what it takes to achieve high marks in History, both as a student and as a teacher. I can work with students of all levels on both content knowledge and skills that are needed to pass AP or Regents exams.

My goal is to make studying math and science a more fun and interactive experience.

...their essay-writing skills, or strengthening their grammar and vocabulary, I strive to make learning an engaging and enriching experience. My approach is patient, adaptable, and tailored to each student's unique learning style, with an emphasis on critical thinking and clear communication. Beyond tutoring, I am deeply interested in literature, publishing, and storytelling in all its forms. I believe that strong reading and writing skills are not just essential for academic success but also for self-expression...

...SATs, and get into the college of their choice. I especially know, very well, what admissions committees are looking for, and I have facilitated the acceptance of many students (who struggled considerably with academics and standardized tests) into ivy league and other top tier schools. I believe that the most successful learning comes when the student is able to develop a self-sustaining curiosity and interest in the subject matter, and, along with imparting skills and...

...a solid foundation of grammar and vocabulary basics, of equal importance are day-to-day examples and case studies that ground theory in fact. I believe this lesson applies to every academic discipline and I use it when instructing students in European History or English Literature or the PSAT Critical Reading section. In order to achieve a firm grasp over any particular subject matter, one must understand both the raw data - dates, names, sentence structures, vocabulary...

...is most fascinating in the AP English and AP History programs: the stories and passions that can bring the subject material to life. As an LSAT tutor I believe in the tireless and rigorous application of methods. The tests can both be very rewarding if one understands the laws behind the questions. I believe that preparation should focus on creating strategies and methods that respond to these laws. My LSAT students develop a toolbox to...

...student understand even fuller! In my free time, I enjoy playing guitar and flute. I have a passion for music and have been in several orchestras for over a decade. I apply the concept of playing an instrument to not only myself but the student, and to always seek self improvement. I also am a camp counselor in the summer and enjoy working with children. I have worked with children for five years and truly...

...how I can best put my efforts to use helping my students. I also love forming long-term relationships - I've been tutoring one family for more than 6 years, which is exactly how long I've been in New York! Outside of tutoring, I do a lot of yoga, work in theatre, hang out with my cat, and drink a ton of green tea! I also love to talk long, crazy nature walks, and I love hanging...

...because I love books; I am always reading in my spare time. I am a very organized person and this shows in my ability to tutor my students in study skills. I am all about flashcards, color coding, and many other fun methods to prepare for an upcoming test or assignment. When I am not teaching, I am dancing. I have been dancing since I was a young girl. I grew up competing in many...

I have experience teaching elementary, middle, and high school students. My expertise is with math (algebra and geometry), history (US and world) as well as english (writing as well as reading). I want my students to genuinely learn and appreciate the material they are learning.

...learning about the individual; not only the student. In order to understand the educational needs of each student, I must first understand each person. I enjoy using culturally relevant pedagogy to ensure that my enrichment is useful and can be applied to daily education. I expect nothing but the best for all of the scholars under my tutelage. Within everyone lies the ability to learn, but first we must learn how to learn.

...organizers. I'm a Netflix junkie, but mostly during the teaching off-season. I love going to the movies and listening and rocking to music. I 'hibernate' somewhat in the winter months but out-and-about in the spring and summer time. A huge fan of throwbacksPerry Mason, Hunter, A-Team, Good Times, Sanford and Son, All in the Family, The Jeffersons, etc. As for throwback music, I'm stuck in the 80s and 90sWhitney, Madonna, Cyndi, Tina, Aretha, Anita, Vanessa,...
