Clare's 5.0 rating speaks to her versatility across reading comprehension, literary analysis, and written expression. She unpacks texts by teaching students to identify rhetorical strategies and track how an author builds an argument or develops a theme, then coaches them to articulate those observations in clear, well-structured prose.

As a bilingual Colombian who has lived and taught across five countries, Esteban brings a cross-cultural lens to English that sharpens how students think about voice, tone, and audience. He digs into the mechanics of clear writing — thesis construction, paragraph cohesion, grammar in context — while treating reading comprehension as an exercise in understanding perspective. Rated 4.9 by students.

College essays and essay editing make up a chunk of Andrew's tutoring load, which means he spends a lot of time diagnosing the same issues — buried thesis statements, vague evidence, and grammar errors that undermine otherwise solid ideas. His finance and math background at Boston College's Carroll School honors program trained him to write with precision and structure, skills he now applies to argumentative and analytical writing. Rated 4.9 by students.

Reading a novel and actually analyzing it are two different skills, and the gap between them is where most English students get stuck. David's history and literature training means he digs into texts the way a historian examines a source — asking what the author is arguing, what context shaped the work, and how specific passages support a larger interpretation.

Reading, writing, and literary analysis each demand different muscles, and Jennifer's background as both a reader and writer — she lists books, reading, and writing among her core interests — means she teaches all three with genuine fluency. She's especially effective at walking students through essay structure: building a thesis, selecting textual evidence, and revising drafts until the argument is tight. Her experience spans phonics for early readers through college-level composition and literature.

From phonics and decoding at the elementary level to literary analysis and thesis-driven essays in high school, Arielle covers the full arc of English instruction. Her Master's in Literacy gives her a diagnostic edge — she can pinpoint whether a struggling reader needs vocabulary support, fluency practice, or deeper comprehension strategies, then build sessions around that specific need.

Taylor's English instruction pulls from an unusually wide writing life — he's authored short stories, poetry, and academic research papers, giving him firsthand experience with the range of genres students encounter. Whether the task is close-reading a passage, strengthening grammar mechanics, or building a persuasive argument, he connects each skill back to how real writers actually think through their choices.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
