Award-Winning SAT Subject Test in Italian Tutors

...fun tutor. I think a tutoring session will go exponentially better if there’s some laughter involved. I’m always down for racing against my students doing math problems or coming up with hilarious study mnemonics for upcoming tests. This past fall, I lived in Padua, Italy as an au pair for a family with a 6 year-old and an 8 year-old. I got to improve my Italian, drink delicious cappuccino with the other au pairs in...

...writing, and I worked with the YMCA as an elementary age tutor. I believe that learning is inherently a collaboration and conversation between student and teacher, and I love being a part of that conversation. My favorite part of teaching is the moment when students make breakthroughs; those moments of pride and understanding are what make teaching such a rewarding experience! In my spare time I love reading, playing my guitar, writing short stories and...

...and small, and using this understanding to develop a culture of creativity and community. As a tutor, I find that empathy, a sense of humor, and flexibility are invaluable in helping others gain academic success and personal confidence.

Whenever I'm not working or studying, I enjoy going to the gym, learning new things, and doing martial arts. I have a...

...my career, as I have over 18 years' experience with one-on-one educating. I began tutoring my peers in high school, and have since worked with students from 5 to 50 years old in all subjects. My favorite subjects are math and Spanish, but I also love to help students with test-taking strategy and overcoming school-related anxiety. I studied International Relations at Rollins College, which required that I be well-versed in many subject areas, and I...

...included a great deal of hands-on teaching and tutoring experience outside of the classroom. I worked with elementary, middle and high school students in after-school programs focused on improving their English language skills as well as their study skills. I taught SAT prep with a non-profit organization for two years, planning and teaching lessons to small groups of students on a weekly basis to help them master the skills needed to achieve high scores on...

...alternating between a middle school and a high school teaching ESL. I consider myself blessed to say that I have a career doing something I absolutely love and enjoy! I was raised in New York and received a B.A. in Hispanic Languages and Literature from SUNY Stony Brook. While doing my undergraduate study, I concentrated my studies in the Central and South American regions. My Master's degree is in Romance Languages (Italian/Spanish), also from SUNY...
