...and Verbal, Essay Writing, ESL, Study Skills, and more. I am also an avid, competitive ballroom dancer.

Certified ASPIRE Tutor in Stamford, CT
...feel most comfortable teaching these subjects, all that means is that I have the most experience teaching these topics. That is not to say that I cannot and don't want to tutor in other subjects. My experience in teaching and tutoring stems from even before I was a math peer tutor in high school. As an older brother to an ambitious teenager, I've found myself helping my brother out in his math homework and answering...

Kevin
Certified ASPIRE Tutor in Stamford, CT
...a number of different levels, but my absolute favorite subjects are Physics, Chemistry, Math and Biomedical Engineering. The basic sciences are always the most interesting because they govern the behavior of the world around us and it still amazes me how a few simple equations can apply to so many situations, including things we experience every day. My preferred teaching style involves a little bit of give and take. I think I excel at giving...

Certified ASPIRE Tutor in Stamford, CT
...Mathematics. I can tutor all levels of mathematics, and my specialty is in the area of mathematics education. I am always thinking of new ways to teach difficult material, and I have an intense knowledge of common core subjects, methods, and procedures. I care mostly about both how and why you do something in mathematics, not just how to do it. I love to be challenged with hard questions, and even if I don't have...

Ellis
Certified ASPIRE Tutor in Stamford, CT
I have been a successful tutor for over ten years specializing in SAT and PSAT preparation and in all aspects of language arts including reading comprehension, grammar, and essay and term paper writing. SAT and PSAT tutees have consistently achieved 75-100 point gains. Libraries throughout CT (including New Haven, Wallingford, East Haven, Cheshire and Bethany) have acknowledge these successes by repeatedly selecting me as presenter of library...... I would make the first session friendly and informal. I would make it clear that I was there as a collaborator, not to judge but to assist. When I am confident that I have established at least a threshold level of good will, I would address the subject matter, but I would do so gingerly. I would assess the tutee's competence, but do it in a manner that does not leave him or her feeling inadequate.

Certified ASPIRE Tutor in Stamford, CT
...in New York City and I am teaching at ASA College and Baruch College. My tutoring and teaching philosophy places the student at the center of my lessons. I assess every student's needs and goals before sessions begin and I continue to monitor the student for any changes. This is important for me because no amount of intelligence or knowledge on the part of the tutor will be transferred to the student if the tutor...
