Award-Winning Social Studies Tutors serving Huntington, NY

Many students benefit from one on one learning experiences. It is important that students get individual attention to ensure that they understand the material, and that attention is not always given in the classroom environment. Students should be able to feel comfortable with their teachers and ask questions when they need clarification, and there should be enough trust between teacher and student for easy conversation.

...PhD candidate at the EUCLID University focused on Interfaith Dialogue and Diplomacy. M.A. in Anthropology from the New School for Social Research was my transformative experience. Aside from instructing my four children, all of whom attended Ivy League (or equivalent) institutions, I have coached hundreds of students.

...at a furniture-making shop. Before moving to New York City last year, I received my M.Ed. from Vanderbilt University where I wrote my thesis on shop class and its value outside of vocational training.

...opposed to teaching, it is important to not just communicate the information, but also to make sure that the student learns it. As a tutor, I work with the student's strengths and weaknesses to help him/her learn. I earned a Ph.D. in political science from Johns Hopkins University, where I also taught. Although I enjoyed teaching on the university level, I missed the engagement one develops in a more individualized setting like tutoring. I also...

...stepping stone rather than my limit;" I take this philosophy with me everywhere I go even the classroom. In my experience, most students have distinct learning styles and identities so I strive to be innovative and adapt the subject to their individual learning style. It's very fulfilling when I see students I tutor, succeed or pass their exams. My teaching style and pedagogy is primarily learner centered. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, listening...

This approach will strengthen their ability to think critically and solve challenging problems. Seeing the joy in students eyes when they finally grasp a concept is the ultimate reward. When I'm not working I love playing tennis, traveling and exploring cool neighborhoods in the city.... My approach to education...

...Similarly, there is no feeling more satisfying than seeing a student I'm working with experience an "aha moment" as what they're learning starts to click and their confidence consequently grows. In my opinion, education isn't one size fits all, as such I individually tailor my lessons for each student I work with. When I'm not tutoring you can find me reading a book, playing soccer, or bemoaning my decision to be a life-long fan of...

I do not only have my students strive for excellence, but I want them to find what they love about learning overall. Especially, in a subject they are struggling with. It is important when you are teaching a child that we get them invested in their own education. It...
