Award-Winning Reading Tutors in Greenwich, CT

...my years of teaching, mostly accidental. Once I successfully taught 3 years of Jr High math to a student who barely spoke English within one summer, I felt ready to take on any challenge! Overall though, I have found that the most important job as a tutor is to identify the missing foundations and fill them in. When I'm not teaching or tutoring I enjoy sewing and building (all in all, I'm a very practical...

...stories and (hopefully) increase the level of knowledge among the public. As a recent student myself, I understand how the pressures of school can sometimes work against your innate curiosity. As a tutor, my goal is of course to help you maximize your success in school and standardized tests. But it's also (again, hopefully) to make room for curiosity, and to remind students, at least a little bit, about what can be fun about learning...

...Bachelor of Arts in Economics modified with Public Policy and a Government Minor. I'm originally from the Bronx, NY, but I've spent most of my life in Rockland County. I now live in Hoboken, New Jersey. I tutor a variety of different subjects, but I love to work with students on Economics and Math. At Dartmouth I was both a tutor and a study group leader for classes in Micro- and Macroeconomics. I also helped...

...back to school and got my Master of Arts in Teaching. Since 2009, I have taught 8th, 9th, 10th, and 12th grades. I have also taught three different courses as an adjunct instructor. My educational philosophy is based on considering the whole student: what he or she likes, his or her strengths and weaknesses, his or her temperament. By considering all of those things I connect with the student and this helps them to do...

...I love this work! My education has well-prepared me to share my knowledge and skills with other students. My perfect score on the reading portion of the SAT aided my admission to Furman University from which I graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in English. But more important than my educational stats is the training that I received at Furman. I took an intensive course on tutoring, which led to a tutoring...

...other peoples’ work makes me an exceptional tutor for writing. I have edited, proofread and work-shopped so many pieces of writing from the 4th grade level to professional journalism writing that I have seen it all. I also excelled in Math and Science while in school because the way the systems worked interested me, and I have a strong sense of logic that enabled me to figure out how to solve problems in unconventional ways.

...in a variety of subjects, from SAT, SHSAT and Regents prep to Calculus, Physics, and Geometry. I specialize in mathematics, however, my writing and reading comprehension skills are of an equally high level. Having achieved top scores on both the SAT and SHSAT, along with various regents tests, I know what it takes to understand subject matter, and as a result, achieve high scores. I believe that everyone possesses the ability to excel in their...

...outside the box and really challenge themselves to find novel ways of conveying concepts to students. Tried and true methods are always great in the classroom, but to work one-on-one with students requires a different approach. It's also critical that learning be something students want, not grudgingly sit through, so that their academic success is tied to their ability to understand and engage the material, not to what score they get on an arbitrary test.

...at NYU. I first became passionate about tutoring in high school, when I would assist other students in mathematics. I also have experience working with elementary school students in a bilingual New York City public school. One of the aspects of tutoring that I always look forward to is when students are able to confidently join their peers. In order to succeed in math, I approach each problem as a puzzle, and I encourage my...

...of Arts degree in French Studies and College of Letters (a multi-disciplinary program that includes English, history and philosophy). I wrote my senior honors thesis on the 1980 Berber Spring in Algeria and 2011 Libyan Revolution. During a semester abroad in Paris, I tutored elementary school children as an English language assistant. While at Wesleyan, I also worked as an ESL instructor, tutoring a Moroccan immigrant and helping him to gain citizenship and employment. Education...
