Award-Winning PSAT Tutors in Connecticut

...can count, but the validation of completing a long race is nothing like the satisfying moment of writing "Q.E.D." on a difficult proof. I'm a scholar of the Western canon, greatly influenced by great thinkers and writers of the past such as Plato, Virgil, Aquinas, and Anselm. I love to read and to discuss what I've read, and I heartily appreciate a good philosophical argument. Extracurricularly, I write musicals, one of which premiered at Yale...

...much pressure to perform well on standardized tests. We cram with flashcards, pull all nighters, and even sacrifice our social time to prove to the world that we retained what we learned that year. But are we *actually* learning? My goal as a tutor is to make your studies enjoyable. I love to use visual and real world examples to help you grasp difficult concepts. At the end of our sessions, it is my mission...

...giving someone the ability to reason, and the drive and ability to begin teaching themselves. I enjoy teaching certain topics because of their power to bring this about, including languages, mathematics, and (of course) philosophy. All of these areas stretch from an elementary to an advanced level, and I consider it of cardinal importance to equally value the successful communication both of elementary topics, such as algebra 1 or German word order, and complex ones,...

...and high school students for over 7 years. On top of all of that, I'm an aspiring professional in the business world - this past summer I worked at an internship in financial consulting (banking advisory & analytics), and have previously held internship positions in human capital consulting & private equity, as well as in patent law. My interests are widely varied and eclectic - pro baseball (Go Mets!), Broadway theater, American public policy &...

...test-teacher has convinced me that as a tool for evaluating 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...

...have training in mathematics, the natural sciences, and public policy. Through my interests in music, teaching, and research the most valuable skill I have learned is the ability to communicate material in a clear and approachable manner. Past students have remarked that my teaching style is animated and are surprised at their ability to focus and understand concepts even after a long day of school, practice, or work. When I am not teaching or grading...

...sponsored SAT preparation seminars. (The seminars have garnered substantial positive online and print publicity). These successes as well as extraordinarily positive references from parents, students, teachers, and school principals are set forth in my website: www.eratnertutor.com . I urge the reader to check them out. I am hugely proud of them. They present a more complete and personal description than I could possibly present in a Personal Statement. My expertise also extends to the law....

...you won't be bored. We will develop a plan each session and work hard to complete it -- with stops along the way to try out our learning with games, visuals and fun! I am a nationally known leader in teaching with technology, and you'll see that in each of our tutoring sessions if you'd like. We are a team! That means I will maintain contact with your school teachers and keep parents in the...

...working with students who have learning disabilities. I'm near-fluent in German and Spanish, have a year of Chinese under my belt, and have introductory familiarity with Turkish, Korean, French, Italian, and Japanese. If you ever need a conversation practice partner for German/Spanish, let me know! Talking again about math, I have the most experience teaching Pre-Algebra through Algebra II, but I'm more than comfortable working with students in all levels through college Calculus II/high school...

I am passionate about teaching; my mother said my brother was able to skip kindergarten because I taught him everything I was learning at school! I am a graduate of the University of Connecticut, where I earned a bachelor's degree in English; I also am a 15-year homeschooling "veteran." Most recently, I have worked in a private school teaching grammar, pre-algebra, and physical science. My hobbies include piano, hiking, and singing. ... I make sure they...

I am passionate about literature and writing; I have been teaching in a classroom for the last eight years and would like to extend my expertise by helping students one on one. ... I believe that students learn best through modeling, guided practice, and independent practice. I personally believe that students are more successful when they take responsibility for their learning.... I would ask a student to describe his/her goals and what he/she hopes to achieve...

...them to plan out manageable study schedules, consistently providing positive encouragement, and finding creative ways to explain difficult concepts through examples, illustrations, and analogies. Through my great amount of teaching experience, I have worked with a diverse array of students and enjoy supporting all types of individuals with their many learning needs. Since graduating from NYU, I have spent three months in Uganda conducting public health outreach in rural villages and am now interviewing for...

...teacher. I also constantly had my nose buried in a book, so becoming an English teacher was the next logical step. I graduated from Central Connecticut State University in 2012 and taught for the next two years, 2012-2014. I thoroughly enjoyed my classes, but always felt that I would be better suited to working one on one with my students to individualize their educations and enable me to have meaningful discussions about the literature I...

...recent graduate of Williams College, where I studied political science with sidelines in history and English. Next fall, I am headed to Ithaca to study at Cornell Law School. I have experience tutoring in all subjects for high school standardized tests and in writing and history at higher levels, and am excited to pass on the benefits of my study as a tutor for the LSAT. I look forward to working with you!

Hello, I am happy to help you reach your learning goals and objectives! :)

I am a sophomore at Wake Forest University intending to major in finance with minors in statistics and sociology. I have tutored students in math since my freshman year in high school because it is my favorite subject and I want to share the wonders of it with others.

...in the process of getting a dual BS/MPH degree. I'm pre-med at Yale, and I'm double majoring in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, as well as the History of Science. I have a wide variety of academic interests, and especially enjoy tutoring writing/communications and science. My teaching style is one that I've developed from the myriad psychology courses I've taken, so I'm all about creative ways to have the student understand the content and then reinforce...

...for college level, but most of my experience comes from my teaching in the classroom. I love to help students to be successful and my goal is to make sure that all students are able to reach their goals. This is why I think that it is so important to get to know the students I am working with and design instruction that will meet their needs. I would love the opportunity to help your...
