Award-Winning SAT Reading Tutors in Connecticut

...Science and Mathematics. While I am heavily stem-focused, I have a great appreciation for the arts and humanities, as I believe it is important to have a balanced education to minimize our biases.

...at Shakespeare. I graduated from Yale with a degree in American Studies, and took all sorts of fun and arguably bizarre classes from building medical devices for babies, to learning Zulu, and analyzing German fairytales. And believe me, oftentimes things just don't make sense to me.

...students. To a 6th grader, the thought of algebra was so frightening and intimidating that any reasoning disintegrated. So, we followed the mantra Algebra is not magic, reminding the student in times when she faltered that she can think through a math problem.

...ha" moment all learners love. I am curious and eager to learn from the students as much as they are. I think bringing the perspective of a student to tutor other students (although at a different stage) allows for more of a connection to be formed and perhaps can help facilitate the ease of understanding topics.
