Award-Winning Literature Tutors serving Huntington, NY

...sports) career was mercifully short, and I became super interested in theater, graduating college with a degree in direction. Since I could first crack open a book and try to read, I've been an avid fan of learning - about things I never knew, about places I've only dreamed of visiting, and about people different from myself. I believe that we never stop learning and that our minds are in need of constant sharpening. However,...

...the "arc" of and "tell the story of" course material, in order to effectively communicate to students. I have just returned from a stay abroad in Beijing, China. There, I taught two independently designed courses to different sets of middle school students in Beijing, China. In the span of five weeks, I enjoyed a whirlwind introduction to the language (with daily class) and life in both heavily developed and poorer, migrant worker regions of the...

...my teaching philosophy is more exploratory and less rigid. If a student is engaged, I am more than willing to help them explore the world of mathematics as well. I personally retain information better when I can see the elaborate underpinnings of the world around us, and I think I bring that same philosophy to my tutoring sessions. If a student is having difficulty grasping a concept, I will try to reduce it to its...

I enjoy going to the beach, outdoor activities such as hiking and biking, and relaxing with a good...

When I am not reading for my research, I try to find...

...SHSAT prep, but my personal favorite is tutoring Chemistry. It is my favorite subject to learn, so helping others understand it allows me to solidify my own knowledge of it. My approach to tutoring anything, especially the harder subjects, is to always use relatable examples or metaphors to strike a connection in a student's mind. The more relatable a hard concept feels, the better it can be understood. Outside of tutoring, I love going on...

...school. In my over six years of tutoring experience, I've helped dozens of students improve their grades, complete stellar college essays and personal statements, pass TOEFL tests, improve their reading and writing skills, comprehension, and ignite their passion for learning. It truly is astounding to witness what students can achieve when they have someone who can meet them where they are at and understand their perspective, answer their questions and address their concerns.

...creative side flourish as a singer-songwriter and producer. These skills are just as important in learning and teaching Spanish along with many other subjects that I tutor. Furthermore, over the years I have learned that many students who learn Spanish in a classroom setting struggle because they're solely taught technical linguistic lingo; they rarely ever get the opportunity to actually speak it with their classmates in order to comfortably develop a Spanish tongue. This is...

...working in a variety of educational settings.

I am certified to teach children from Birth-Grade 6, and do have experience tutoring students at the high school and college level. I consider English/Language Arts to be my strongest content area, but am comfortable tutoring in almost all other subjects. I am...

...an immense joy. Reading is also incredibly fun to teach, because it is exciting to see students make progress, buiild confidence, and start to see how big the world becomes as they advance to higher reading levels. My philosophy is simple: keep it fun, and help the student to become self-motivated. Once a student sees that learning can be joyful, rather than painful, they will look forward to honing their skills and tackling increasingly difficult areas...
