Award-Winning Math Tutors for Students in Connecticut

...more than bestowing information upon a room of students, to be soaked up by their sponge-like brains. I came to understand that teaching is far more complex, demanding, and rewarding than I ever imagined. Like teaching in a classroom, tutoring involves more than academic content. Tutors must instruct and reinforce skills that equip students for lifelong learning and success. Tutoring is really about meeting a child where she or he is and guiding them to...

I believe mathematics can be a creative pursuit as well as a tool to understand the world. I once struggled immensely with mathematics and understand it's difficulty before finding a learning method that worked for me.

I believe any student is capable of excelling in mathematics if they learn to reframe see the problems in a way they find intuitive.

I attempt to incorporate this philosophy into my tutoring lessons by including problems with real-world applications where possible. And as a tutor, I am very hands-on, as I believe teaching is a dance in which communication from both sides is of utmost importance. I want my students to ask questions as I am a firm believer that there are no stupid questions. I...

...students, standardized testing has its share of flaws. But the tests aren't unfair or unbeatable; they challenge you to learn a specific language. I don't mean the fancy vocabulary you'll want in a verbal section, but the forms and patterns of the questions themselves. With thoughtful effort, any student can learn to understand the language of test-taking. As someone lucky enough to be fluent, I hope to share with others what I have gained.

...visual, auditory, kinesthetic) to reach varied learners so that no one is left behind. Everyone in the learning environment is a contributor as a student, teacher, and thinker. I have, of course, learned from my students as much as they have learned from me. One way I reinforce mutual learning, in my class, is to provide regular feedback to students. I ask students lots of questions. They also complete course evaluations, where they reflect on...
