Award-Winning Social Studies Tutors serving Providence, RI

I'm a writer that believes deeply in the power of reading. A good writer is an excellent and dedicated reader. It's my goal to help more people to fall in love with reading and find their voice as a writer. This happens through learning to love to read - and not just the classics. I believe in helping individuals foster a relationship with literature, which in turn allows them to write at a high level.

I believe that people can learn anything if they work hard enough and have a good teacher. Relating subjects to a student's interests allows the student to be fully engaged and want to learn the material. From there, you can teach the student how to critically think through a problem so they can solve any problem or learn any material that comes their way.

...economics, calculus for economics, US history and US government, as well as a variety of reading, writing, and public speaking skills, at all skill levels. I've worked with students teaching basic principles of economics, and have worked on higher level theory classes, and feel comfortable teaching all levels of economics. I've worked teaching as debate coach at the Boston Latin School and as an instructor at the Harvard Summer Debate Camp Workshop, and have worked...

Originally from the Boston area, I completed my undergrad degree at Georgetown University in Washington where I focused on Marketing, International Business, and Spanish. I have lived and worked in Boston, Spain, Belgium, Washington, Brazil, and Afghanistan. I completed an MBA in Finance and International Management at Boston University in 2012 and am recently back in the Boston area again. I enjoy traveling and adventure.... I'm very patient with students and understand how to explain things...

...school and high school. I was always someone who wanted to do well in school, but I struggled with self-confidence and test anxiety. I was able to find amazing mentors through Varsity Tutors and other programs who helped me overcome these obstacles and I wish to do the same for other students. My philosophy for tutoring students is to try my best and tailor my teaching style to what works for the student, and this...

...mentored several local high school students in their science projects, two of which went on to win awards at the regional competition. I mentored a group of first-year graduate students in the UMass Biomedical Sciences Curriculum. In lab, I've instructed and mentored many incoming lab mates from undergraduate technicians to post doctoral fellows. When I'm not in the lab, I can usually be found playing guitar and songwriting with my band, listening to new music,...

...B.A. in Political Science from the University of Maine, I worked in an urban school in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston to help students achieve higher marks in English/Language Arts and Math. I then went on to begin my tutoring career while I study to obtain my master's degree in teaching. I primarily tutor middle school, high school, and AP US History, middle and high school Civics and Government, middle and high school English/ELA, and...

...love the opportunity to work with students on history and writing, since I firmly believe a teacher should be enthusiastic about their subject to instill interest and motivation in their students. Thus I want to use these skills and my experience to guide students in reaching their greatest individual potential in both academics and life skills. I am available all months throughout the year and can be flexible with my schedule. Please feel free to...

Hi! My name is Nicole and I recently graduated from Emory University with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing and Consulting, and a double major in Chemistry. I have had much experience with helping other students through various tutoring and TA positions in college, and my diverse educational background makes it possible for me to tutor a wide variety of subjects.

...5th grade at my current school. Before teaching 5th grade, I taught 4th grade for two years in a different school district. I have been working in education; teaching, substitute teaching, and working as a paraprofessional for seven years now. I have experience working with a wide range of students; students on IEPs, students with academic challenges who need additional support, students who need enrichment and extra challenge, etc. I am very comfortable and familiar...

In high school, I took 8 AP classes with no score lower than a 3. I then went to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where I majored in molecuar and cellular biology with a minor in chemistry. During that time, I also tutored fellow peers and underclassmen in organic chemistry, anatomy and...

...societal levels, and I enjoy teaching this point of view to students, helping them to see history as a living, deeply relevant subject matter. My teaching philosophy can be summed in three words: never sit still. I don't see learning as a static process, whereby a student studies for a test, passes it, then lets the information slip away. Rather, I believe the student should be truly hungry to absorb the material, to truly own...

...(Boston, MA). I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from Agnes Scott College (Atlanta, GA) with a double-major in English Literature and Classical Civilizations. At Agnes Scott, I worked for three years in the Center for Writing and Speaking, where I discovered my love of helping students express their ideas through writing. Since then, I have worked primarily with elementary school students, including a year of assisting in a first grade classroom in Austria. I...

...intellectual curiosity which hopefully can continue to define more and more people. Seeking to understand is what makes us human after all. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy curling up by the fire with a good book and a cat, watching and talking about TV or movies, Boston sports, science-fiction, anime, running, cooking and eating food, and, of course, long walks on the beach. I am training to be a professional actor, and my goal is...

...helped fellow college students on a wide variety assignments ranging from analytic papers on race in the media, to papers on scientific theories, to scholarship essays. In high school I was a Link Crew tutor for three years, making myself available for tutoring sessions after school for whatever subject students required help in. But enough about my qualifications. If you are looking for a tutor, you probably want someone who will not only help you...

...In addition to this, its a pleasure seeing their confidence level boost when they answer a set number of problems correctly. Nothing warms my heart more when a student jokingly tells me, "Mister, back off, I got this." I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy...

...of Foreign Service. I take pride in being a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to academia. I have experience tutoring across the gamut of academic subjects, including in English as a Foreign Language and in Mandarin Chinese.
