I taught a class on Greek literature in translation as a volunteer teacher through Splash at Yale. I helped moderate discussions of current events between high...

...on a student's growth and increasing his 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...

...PhD applications, where I hope to research Greek Tragedy, intersected with Greek Sculpture and contemporary Literary Theory. I have tutored Ancient Languages at a variety of linguistic abilities. From teaching a student Latin from scratch, to helping a student pass their advanced examination in Ancient Greek, I can adapt the syllabus to suit the student's need. Some students require a diligent and thorough revision of their grammar, others need to translate and discuss their texts.

...working with students for more than thirty years at all levels. I have been teaching and tutoring in Italian, Spanish, Latin and also ESL for company employees. I do not have a favorite subject, I love them all. I tutor students according to their needs and abilities. Every student is capable of learning. I have a strong background in music. I studied Bel Canto at the Bellini Music Conservatory in Palermo, Sicily. I sing in...

...and learning disabilities. With master's degrees in both Mathematical Physics and Special Education, I love teaching both advanced subject material and the fundamentals of literacy, organizing, and the whole human that go along with all learning. I often say I work best with folks who "love learning but hate school." I am very flexible with teaching, ethics and focus on student needs, styles and interests. In languages especially, I can bring students to great leaps...

...laws. My LSAT students develop a toolbox to address each type of question, and they develop the perspicuity to discern which question requires which approach. New York is my home, and when I am not teaching, I like to ride my bicycle down its broad avenues and tortuous alleys. I have been to many countries and studied many languages, but there is one place I always return, for better or for worse, and I am...

...for you. I got my Bachelor's in Political Science from Stony Brook, and I got my Master's in Political Science from Columbia. I don't have much experience at the moment, but I have had successful sessions with 3-4 students, and I am able to explain things to people and remain calm in doing so.

...this year has been and want to assist students by helping them through material that is difficult to understand given the circumstances. I love working with kids of all ages and helping them grow academically and as a person. In addition to content tutoring, I aim to teach kids strategies to manage their time better and be more efficient. I am an athlete at Cornell and have mastered the art of time management and organization...

...small parts to identify exactly where someone is struggling. I can do this with organization and learning needs, too, not just math and English content. I am also versatile and flexible; I can work on all sorts of content and handle unknown problems. I can teach you how to do that, too. I also have a great deal of experience working with students with special needs. I have been trained in some workshops, but I...

...and I can explain real-world applications and uses for these subjects that may not seem obvious. By demonstrating the use of math and science in everyday life, I am able to help interact with the student and increase their interest in a subject in which they may experience difficulty. I also believe that as a tutor, it is my responsibility to engage with the student to help them achieve and even surpass their goals. In...

...about the material, regardless of ability level, are the best learners. For test prep, this means avoiding the hysteria that many feel about the exams and focusing on the material itself with a realistic view of how to get the most out of the test. For Latin and English Literature, this means forgetting about right and wrong and discovering the joy of interpretation and of language. Outside of academics I am interested in guitar playing...

I have always had an interest in math throughout my life, majoring in Mathematics and Economics in college. My goal is to share my passion for math with others and help students develop a better understanding of not only the problem at hand, but also why learning math is useful and interesting.

...my second masters (MSW), with my first MA in General Psychology and Substance Abuse Counseling. I plan to apply to the PsyD or Ph.D. Clinical Psychology program in the future in order to gain more experience with research as well as providing adequate therapy. Currently, while working underneath my supervisor, I run varied groups in a psychiatric inpatient facility. My interest in tutoring and helping students stems from a group I co-ran for patient's who...

...private, and charter schools, teaching all grades and subjects during the school year. In the Summer, I've taught classes in Summer Camps all over Brooklyn, so I've definitely run the spectrum of youth education in New York City!

I also perform...

...teacher should let students do the majority of the talking. I like to use questioning to steer students towards relevant details, themes, or narratives. Questioning is also important in challenging students to think deeper and look closer. I also believe that all students are different, and deserve an individualized approach. The importance of an initial diagnostic on the first meeting is of utmost importance in this respect. Motivation and confidence are also incredibly important factors...

...enjoy working with students to confront the challenges of a subject and then watching as the challenges begin to slip away and what was previously frustrating and incomprehensible to the students becomes a subject that they now enjoy learning about and studying. I believe I am a good tutor and teacher because I am patient, encouraging, and have good communication and classroom management skills. I do not get frustrated if my students do not understand...

...concept. Once we understand that, we slowly work our way up until you understand even the most difficult concepts..soon you're able to tell me the reason for every variable in the Schrdinger equation. Sometimes my students also develop a passion for knowing why and I love it. I'm not a tutor automaton though; my other hobbies/passions include piano, weight lifting, classical music (and concerts), composition, and environmental activism. In addition to tutoring, I've spent time...

Aside from teaching, I am an avid sports fan, particularly of football, baseball, soccer, and golf. I also enjoy traveling, having done so extensively throughout Spain and other places in Europe, such as Rome, Paris, and Germany. There is...

...is to try and imbue in them a little of that love in the hopes that it helps them achieve independent academic success. I have tutored extensively in the visual arts, both in fine arts and art history. I welcome opportunities to take students to museums or galleries to experience art first hand. If it is test prep you need, I can help. I have tutored for SATs and ACTs but more importantly I have...
