Award-Winning Languages Tutors in Connecticut

...the key is to find the right approach for each individual. I have worked with multiple individuals for over the past 10 years and helped edit their essays and improve their writing style, gently guiding them to a better approach in writing and phrasing. I am also looking forward to helping someone in the field of psychology, something that I am passionate about. Finally, as a native Russian speaker, I would love to help anyone...

...embrace an idea or a solution. I very much enjoy engaging with the students in the process of learning new things in different and creative ways. During a tutoring session, I observe how the student is processing information and how he/she engages with the material. I then adjust my tutoring to accommodate his/her needs, advance understanding, and encourage his/her individual interests. I also think it is essential to have fun! In this way, the student...

...to start tutoring again. I believe that all students learn a little differently, and though schools try their best they can't account for every learning style. My goal is to adapt my instruction to each student's preferences in order to help them as much as I can. In my free time, I like to play ice hockey (or just skate), knit, do yoga, and read, especially epic fantasy (I may or may not have all...

...in New Haven as a math teacher and coach at a public middle school (my team of 7th graders just won the 2016 New Haven regional championship!), and I've been tutoring middle and high school students for over 7 years. On top of all of that, I'm an aspiring professional in the business world - this past summer I worked at an internship in financial consulting (banking advisory & analytics), and have previously held internship...

...House Chief of Staff’s Office. There I excelled in research, professional writing, and time management. I believe that any student can become proficient in these areas with patience, encouragement, and practice. For the past eight years, I have helped students with standardized test preparation, debate and argumentation, and traditional academic subjects. The subjects I enjoy most are writing, college preparation, and history. Yet the focus with all of my students, whether they are in the...

I recently moved from Potsdam, Germany to New Haven, CT. I grew up and studied environmental sciences in Germany, worked and traveled a lot internationally and have taught languages and science at the university and non-academic level. I enjoy teaching and I particularly enjoy supporting students who want to learn my beautiful but sometimes just a little too confusing language. ... Using a language is the best way to learn. With me you will be talking a lot!

...reminded of how well suited my personality and my intellectual curiosity are to teaching. I always loved taking standardized tests; I thought of the problems as fun puzzles. And I love sharing that outlook and enthusiasm with students who are trying to improve their SAT performance. I find it completely invigorating to see students grasping the concepts that underlie the problems we work through together, and it is so fun to develop a unique relationship...

...and currently pursuing a career that I'm truly passionate about. I now wish to pay it forward and be a positive influence for the students that are frustrated in school. Based on my own experiences, I recognize how important it is to form a relationship with the student to where they are comfortable with seeking assistance and communicating their feelings and frustrations with me. Once a rapport is established, I'm able to identify the students'...

...a host family in Clermont-Ferrand, France, and I also spent a semester studying at La Sorbonne in college. I thus have a strong linguistic and cultural connection with France and Germany due to my time living and studying there. Regarding my teaching philosophy, I have always been an experiential learner, so I understand that not everyone learns traditionally, and I like bringing in cultural and anecdotal connections when teaching to give my students a colorful...

...school and middle school throughout my career. Working with students in NYC public schools, I was able to introduce architectural concepts to students from diverse backgrounds. It’s wonderful to help a student understand and apply concepts to his or her work. While living in Paris, I was an assistant teacher teaching English in a French public school in Montmartre. In working with students, my goal is to give them tools to improve their approach to...
