Strong reading isn't passive — it requires strategies like annotation, inference-making, and identifying an author's purpose within the first few paragraphs. Nicole, who speaks multiple languages and holds a linguistics degree, brings an analytical approach to reading instruction that builds vocabulary and comprehension skills students can transfer across every subject they take.

Joanne's English BA with a teaching specialization and her Michigan master's in Educational Studies mean she's studied not just what good readers do, but how to teach those habits to students who haven't developed them yet. She walks students through strategies like identifying an author's argument before getting lost in details, using context to unlock unfamiliar vocabulary, and recognizing how a paragraph's structure signals what's important. Her experience spans middle school readers still building fluency through graduate-level academic texts.

Strong reading starts with active engagement — annotating for main ideas, distinguishing an author's claim from supporting evidence, and recognizing how text structure shapes meaning. Sierra's triple-degree background involved enormous amounts of close reading across disciplines, and she applies those strategies to everything from standardized test passages to assigned novels.

Neuroscience training at Dartmouth meant Arianna spent years decoding research papers where missing a single qualifier — 'significant' versus 'suggestive,' 'correlated' versus 'caused' — could flip an entire conclusion. She brings that precision to reading sessions, teaching students to weigh an author's word choices and follow the logic of a passage rather than skimming for a general impression. Rated 4.8 by students.

Strong reading comprehension isn't about speed — it's about knowing how to track an author's argument, identify tone shifts, and distinguish main ideas from supporting detail. Jonah teaches students to annotate actively and ask questions of a text as they move through it, building the kind of close-reading habits that transfer across every subject.

Strong reading comprehension depends on active strategies: annotating for main ideas, distinguishing fact from inference, and tracking how an author's argument develops across paragraphs. Anthony teaches these techniques explicitly, giving students a repeatable process they can apply to everything from standardized test passages to dense textbook chapters.

I am a former high school STEM teacher with a passion for teaching, certified in Secondary Math and Biology. I LOVE math and science, and what they tell us about the world. As a teacher in Detroit, I've worked with students of all ability levels and learning styles, so I have a lot of strategies in my tool belt for tackling difficult concepts. My style as a tutor is to be patient, positive and encouraging. I tend to develop strong relationships with students as a mentor.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
