...Besides tutoring, I am a classical musician, a singer, and a composer; I perform all around the world. I have experience working with all age groups and I first started tutoring at age 15. I am a patient, engaging, and fun tutor. I've been in New York for three years, and I love it here. In my spare time I play tennis, read books, or go to the beach with friends. I'm sure if I...

...material in this way. I have worked with students who have been accepted to Princeton and other highly selective universities, offering them advice with college essays and activity sheets. My essay advice is constantly informed by my knowledge of English literature. I have read works from Chaucer in Middle English to Charles Mee with his very postmodern take on language. I have also read Catullus, Caesar, Livy and Virgil in Latin and scanned Latin verse....

...just moved into the neighborhood with a friend from college after spending a year living in London. Before that I graduated college (Princeton) where I studied History. I'm excited to be back on the East Coast and to get a chance to continue working with students! While I'm comfortable work with students of all ages, my most recent teaching experience was serving as a volunteer teacher's assistant for sixth, seventh, and eight graders in English,...

...Culture and the Arts, combining my love of both art and Russian culture. As a tutor at my University's writing center, I edited papers for a variety of subjects and worked with art majors to develop honors theses. I love brainstorming creative approaches to papers with students, and I may be one of the few recent graduates who still thinks grammar is exciting. My enthusiasm is contagious! I am a North Carolina native and an...

...levels of French as I have taken the French baccalaureat. I started tutoring in high school, everything from math, literature, to French and Latin. I have worked mostly with high school, college students and adults, but have also helped younger students accomplish their goals. I love teaching and find it wonderful when I help my students understand complex concepts. Though hard science can be scary, all my students have come to have a much deeper...

...in French, receiving my B.A. in 2003. I went on to receive an M.A. in Medieval History from Catholic University in Washington D.C. in 2007, and my Ph.D. dissertation, which is on religious women in 15th century Italy, is slated for completion in 2014.

...program of study that takes advantage of their strengths and addresses their weaknesses, so that on test day they’ll earn their highest possible score. Outside of the SAT/ACT, my areas of strength are in reading, writing, language (Latin), and history. I believe that learning is an inherently enjoyable experience, and while I demand a lot of my students, I make sure that my tutoring sessions are engaging and fun. When it comes to my students,...

...I put these skills to good use, receiving the contest's prestigious award for Best Brief. Today I am sharing the fruits of my exceptional education with students in the city. As an academic jack of all trades, my expertise extends beyond Writing and Latin, encompassing a wide range of World History and English curricula and standardized testing strategies.

...or her ability to work independently. First I explain and discuss the information and strategies the student needs. Then I point out instances where the student can use the strategies (and guide the student through them if need be). Lastly, I back off a bit, allowing the student to use strategies on his or her own. In the Writing Center, this process has given students greater confidence as they internalize knowledge and become increasingly able...

...test preparation such as for the SAT I and II, GRE and LSAT. I especially enjoy helping students prepare for standardized tests because I remember how helpful a compelling guide and mentor can be during the often stressful process of testing and preparation for it. In addition to performing well on the exams themselves, I believe it is just as important for students to learn how to think calmly and confidently about these tests, so...
