Award-Winning SAT Subject Test in Italian Tutors

...I studied English, Italian, and Japanese languages and literature, and taught classes in the Humanities and French and Italian departments. Prior to that, I received my B.A. in Comparative Literature from Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. While at Clark I also completed undergraduate and graduate-level coursework in Education, which 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...

...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 believe in the value of a well-rounded education. I love getting to know my tutoring...

...then teach ESL to adults and young children two evenings each week. During the summer months you'd think I'd rest right? Nope! I take my amazing 12 year old son and we travel to Central America to help build homes during the morning hours and I then spend the afternoons 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...

...degrees I focused on American history and history of culture. While in college and graduate school I worked extensively as a tutor and teaching assistant in English, History and essay 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...

...energy to theatre directing and producing. I am fascinated by the ways in which the arts can impact and enrich society in ways both big 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. Working as a director has taught me that careful listening and guided collaboration...

..., beyond a shadow of a doubt, correct. If you ask any of my students they will definitely tell you that I am a 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...

...analytics. I enjoy helping other students succeed because in part, it makes me succeed, not only as a tutor, but also as a human being. To add, I tutor German, Italian, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Computer Science and Calculus I. My favorite subject to tutor is Calculus, due to the fact that it has a fearsome reputation for students. Calculus, just like many other difficult problems, can be easily split into easier problems that are...
