Award-Winning Social Studies Tutors serving Connecticut

...truly invested in their studies, understand who they are as individuals and what paths they want to take in their lives. Personally, I found it hard to know what you want to do for the rest of your life in the short amount of time high school prepares the students, so I am hoping that I will bring new ideas that will make my students truly think about these really hard questions.

...covered yet, or writing what I hope to be the next great American novel! Literature is how people share ideas and stories in fresh ways, and there are always new things to notice in even the oldest readings. And of course, writing is perhaps the most precise and sometimes personal way to communicate. The world needs good writers in all fields. I want to help students become the best readers and writers they can be,...

...and I am very proud of my resume in standing. I have always had optimal performance on standardized tests and quizzes and I believe that I have the skill base to help other students persevere. My positive attitude is sure to help the study session breeze by - but don't think that it will be easy! Challenging questions are the most fun and create the most thorough results. I hope to have fun with the...

...with children and teenagers for the past 10 years. I taught in a alternative high school for several years so I have experience working with various learning styles and educational needs. I believe that everyone deserves a quality education and will do whatever I can to work with them to make the process beneficial and enjoyable. Learning should be a life long journey, and I hope to help people foster this idea.

...I tutor math, english, chemistry, spanish, and psychology. My favorite subject to tutor is psychology because I find it to be very applicable in life. I believe that learning shouldn't have to be hard and that we should appeal to all of our senses when learning. At Yale, I participate in Splash, a program that allows students to teach a class for day. I enjoyed the experience so much that I thought tutoring would be...

I'm a senior at CCSU with a Media Studies major and Creative Writing minor. I love reading, writing, history, psychology, and language in general!

...I quickly understood what they meant. My whole life I've been a good student. I've taken challenging courses, studied, and tried my best. But getting good grades isn't the only thing that matters in life: it's applying intelligence to every situation that will carry you through life. This is what I teach and believe: how to use what you learn to help you succeed. I open minds, guiding people to think creatively, critically, and independently.

I have tutored students for the GMAT, GRE, SAT, ACT and LSAT for more than 15 years. I love it! As I tailor my instructions toward the unique needs of each student, my goal is to improve not only the student's performance but also the student's confidence as test day approaches.

...tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about psychology and math. Being able to tutor students helps them to be better at something and accomplishing that difficult task and teaching the approach of not giving up. I am a firm believer of education. In my spare time, I enjoy doing some outdoor and adventurous activities, such as yoga and running in different 5Ks. I also enjoy arts & crafts.

In addition to English, I have tutored GED studies (social studies and sciences), and K-12 general studies with a focus on history and language arts. My career as an educator...

...it was due. I am passionate about addressing high order concerns (structure and argument) before low order ones (grammar and mechanics), to best help the cognition of my clients. Of course, I can make fun exercise worksheets for areas such as punctuation and grammar rules, too. Last summer I translated the skills I earned through this on-campus job to Vietnam where I helped Vietnamese students prepare to apply to boarding schools and colleges in the...

...much to learn in terms of pedagogy and classroom management. Maura Faulkner, my Director of Instruction and personal academic coordinator, has consistently observed me in the classroom and given me feedback to further myself as a classroom teacher. The meetings and feedback have made it possible for me to push my students to heights I never thought imaginable looking at pre-assessments from the first week. Andrew Marshall, the Dean of Students, has given me strategies...

...student-based. I help a student learn not in one specific way, but by learning how that student thinks and works over several sessions and by integrating that into my lessons. Additionally, I emphasize understanding core principles first and specific problems, questions, or exercises laterunderstanding the why makes the what much simpler. Outside of tutoring, some of my hobbies include watching movies (I'm a fan of both old classic movies and new summer blockbusters), playing video...
