Award-Winning SAT Tutors in Fairfield, CT

...my favorite tutoring moments happened about three years ago. I was tutoring a ninth grade girl in math. The first time that I spoke with her mom on the phone, she was crying and said that her daughter had a fifty percent average and that I was her only hope. Talk about pressure! I met with the girl and she told me that no one believed in her, including herself. This upset me greatly and...

I am determined to help your student succeed! I have a Bachelor's degree in English Literature and experience tutoring in the areas of math, science, and test prep. I am qualified to tutor PSAT, SAT, ACT, AP, LSAT, and the GRE. I am extremely well-rounded and eager to help.... Every student should be treated on an individual basis because no two students learn exactly the same way.... I can ask the student questions to make sure that he/she grasps the concepts, give the student work to complete on their own, and find a topic within the subject area that interests the student.

...complex subject material found in biology courses and presenting it to my students in a clear and understandable manner. Biology is more a story than memorizing a long list of facts, and as a Biology "story teller", my students retain more information than they ever did before. While at Stony Brook University, I worked as an assistant teaching new high school AP Biology teachers from the Tri-State area. Here I re-visited the high school curriculum,...

...I know what it’s like to struggle in school. I’ll never forget the day my high school counselor told me I might never go to college. Her words stung, but the inspiration the words gave me is irreplaceable. She drove me to succeed. My new found motivation propelled me from a C student to the top ten percent of my graduating high school class. From there I began my degree in Biochemistry at Western Washington...

...students on all aspects of a math curriculum at the elementary, middle and high school level. I have successfully tutored students from ages 8 to 18 with a wide range of aptitude levels.

I've also taught lessons in SAT prep through online services for over a year and worked...

...As a REACH Mentor at Regis High School and an Activity Head at Brewster Day Camp, I've learned that listening is just as important in being a good teacher. Each child has a different relationship with language, and improving that relationship is impossible without first understanding it. English isn't just a subject taught in school; it's how we access the people and ideas around us. As a tutor, my goal is not only to prepare...

I got my B.A. in English from the University of Notre Dame and a Marketing MBA from Columbia. I...
