Award-Winning Social Studies Tutors serving Norwalk, CT

...Best of luck to all of you on your academic endeavors, and feel free to message me if you have any questions or requests. Please note, I am most often working from home, and I'm happy to help my existing students with instant tutoring.

...students to understand - and ultimately excel in - a wide assembly of academic pursuits. I believe that tutoring is not just about rote memorization but hinges on developing a personal relationship with the student. From helping to craft Common Application responses, to ACT/SAT preparation, to challenging math courses, to writing analytical essays, I strive to make the overwhelming seem intuitive. My favorite things in the world (other than my family) are basketball, non-fiction, and...

...I strive to make sure that every student that I work with leaves with an understanding of the content that I teach them. 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 is not enough...

...on studying Political Science, but I am officially undecided as of now. I am currently involved with SAT Prep tutoring for underprivileged high schoolers, as well as a mentoring and homework help program for middle schoolers. Primarily, my expertise is in standardized-test-tutoring, but I am available for other subjects as well. I'm a history buff, so that's always fun for me to tutor. I understand that everybody may not have quite the same passion for...

I want to be able to help students who need it. I struggled when I wasn't given the support I needed, and I don't want other students to have the same problem if I can be there to aid them.

...they are thinking in order to teach me about how they are approaching the problem. It's important to me that a student feels that the tutoring relationship is a two way street, as they already have lectures and lessons. I believe that as a tutor I am there to help guide them through the material in their own way, which can often be different than the way it is taught in a classroom. I tutor...

Hello, I'm a student at Queens College studying Physics. I took 11 AP's in high school and got 4's and 5's on all them. Fortunately, I am not a genius and thus am able to explain complex ideas in simple ways without needing to use convoluted words. I have several years of experience in tutoring and I look forward to helping you excel in your studies.

...how demoralized you may feel, especially those who grew up similarly with a fixed mindset. It wasnt until I discovered Stanford psychology professor Carol Dwecks writings on an alternative growth mindset that I expanded my intellectual horizons with a new belief that I could learn anythingif I understood that failure isnt an indicator of inadequacy, but the path to mastery. The geniuses throughout history often were mere mortals whove simply learned to overcame seemingly insurmountable...

...drama club for high school students, and conducted acting workshops. At Cornell University, I obtained my BS in Industrial and Labor Relations at the ILR School (also known as the I Love to Read School) with a major in ILR and a minor in Education. As an Education minor, I gained experience working with students with diverse learning styles doing fieldwork as a teacher in the Ithaca area. I was also an enthusiastic member of...

...being a homework helper with the kids that I babysit for. My strong suits are english, history, and I am also available to tutor verbal and reading for ACTS and other standardized tests. Having been tutored as a kid, I understand that patience and practice is key to successfully learning. Outside of academia I enjoy skiing, reading Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, running, yoga, and taking my dog for walks.

...public policy, and community service. I have previously provided college admissions help, essay advice, and academic support to many students and they have continuously come back to me for additional help on whatever they were working on. I joined Varsity Tutors because I wanted to continue providing the educational and tutoring service to students that I never got when I was in school. I hope that I will get to work with you sometime soon!

B.A. in Psychology '17, & B.A. in Biological Sciences '21 (Post-Baccalaureate). Neuro geek, writer/poet, EMT-B, Former Emergency Dept. Tech, and Research Tech. I love helping students understand material that they find difficult. I learn from them, and they learn from me. You cannot get anywhere unless you help those around you. Future goals: Neurosurgeon/Principal Investigator and Mid-Size Business Owner. Fun Fact: My iTunes library probably has a song for everyone.... Past performance and a test-run during...

...Economics. With a 32 ACT score and a 3.8 GPA, I bring both subject mastery and real test-taking experience to every session. I also interned with the Miami Heat's Finance and Capital Planning team, where I created data dashboards, proposed an AI strategy, and gained hands-on problem-solving experience I now bring into my teaching style: clear, practical, and personalized. Whether you're tackling quadratic equations or analyzing an ACT reading passage, I'll meet you where you...

...enter a student's life at an especially fraught time. My student's and I work together to figure out what tools they need to succeed. Whether for standardized tests or academic subjects, I look forward to helping you or someone you care about reach their potential. For my own academic history, I scored in the 99th percentile on all three sections of the SAT, as well as attaining a score of 5 on the AP Statistics,...

...groups, and programmed for UnionDocs, a microcinema in New York. More recently, I've coordinated and facilitated retreats for emerging adults, focusing on personal growth skills and political education. I tutor a broad range of subjects, but I'm most passionate about English, Literature, and History. I've recently (and successfully) tutored myself in test preparation skills, so I am also very prepared to tutor test-prep. In my experience as a tutor, I have a great track record...

I am an intuitive listener who likes to communicate with people and to analyze what they say in order to understand them, connect with them, and influence their growth into more optimistic and moral people.

...enjoy tutoring for the chance to develop personalized lessons for students founded on a trusting relationship rather than the transactional and memorization based education I felt I predominantly received growing up. I am energized most by the rare look in student's eyes when they finally cement the connection they have hovered on the edge of making. Watching the second grade students whose tutors I coordinated make those connections has made me consider teaching as a...

...New York. I am a hard-working, highly educated and determined young professional with a diverse skill set and range of experiences. No matter what I have been involved in be it my studies or my work, I have always harbored a deep love of learning. When I taught elementary school, or worked with my peers in the library writing center, it was this love of knowledge and curiosity that I wanted to pass on. This...

...confident in tutoring elementary school, high school and college ELA, reading, and writing as well. Though I tutor a wide array of topics, I love tutoring math especially because it brings me so much joy when a student finally understands something that can be so difficult and I can see how proud they are of themselves. Hence, instead of just lecturing at the student, I prefer to guide him/her to understand the material by asking...

...adults with disabilities. I tutor students in an array of subjects including social studies, English Language Arts (reading, writing, and literature), history, civics and government, and study and organization skills. My teaching philosophy is consistent across my work with all age groups: I believe it is important for students to be empowered learners through the use of scaffolding. With scaffolding, I am able to provide supports that are faded over time as a student masters...
