Award-Winning Test Prep Tutors serving Norwalk, CT

...(M.A.) and Library and Information Science (M.S.). I love tutoring many subjects and students of all ages, but I am especially passionate about reading. Struggling or reluctant readers often see reading as a chore, so I believe it is imperative to develop a student's love for literacy at the same time as their skill, no matter what age they are. When I'm not working, you can find me pleasure reading (often via audiobook!), running, watching...

...but also empower them to independently produce better results in the future. I have experience tutoring students in different age groups, from elementary school to graduate school. As a tutor at my college's writing center, I assisted in leading a workshop discussing best strategies for ESL tutoring.

...to make everything from Biology to History into exciting (if very small) stories that are not only easy to remember, but actively difficult to forget. I've had tutors that I hated going to, and tutors that I enjoyed spending my time with, and I do my best to emulate the latter. And, as always, I'm happy with your results when you are happy with your results. Or when your parents are happy with your results.

...years ago, and my younger brothers are currently in high school and middle school. As the oldest sibling, it was very rewarding for me to have the opportunity to provide mentorship and academic support to my brothers. As a tutor at Varsity Tutors, I strive to provide this same level of support to every one of my students. Math has always been my strongest subject, and I enjoy learning and teaching it. As a Business...

...year. I have years of experience tutoring college students in math (mostly calculus) and chemistry including both general and organic chemistry. In addition, I am very familiar with all sections of the SAT and ACT having prepared several high school students for these tests. I believe that every student is capable of boosting his or her baseline score on these tests, so long as he or she works hard to get to know the format...

...my task is to help you become a better and more creative thinker. The brain is a lot like a muscle; we should work it out together while having an appropriate amount of fun along the way. Despite what you may have heard, math is not this impossible and terrible thing cooked up to make you miserable. I think I can convince you of that. When I'm not working, I bike and do yoga. Otherwise...

In my free time, I love reading, running, taking spin classes, and spending time with my...

In addition to tutoring math and science, I also greatly enjoy helping students with SAT prep and college essay writing.

...Economics and Music. Outside of work (where I am a management consultant), I play hockey and piano. Since high school, I have helped fellow students with academics. At school, I was also a tutor through Penn's Tutoring Center. I think what makes me a successful tutor is the ability to not only understand the material but also the perspective of the tutee. This helps me convey necessary information in the best way possible for that...

...Over the past 4 years, I am lucky to have worked with students of all ages and helped them reach their full potential. I offer tutoring services in all subjects, and I'm particularly interested in English, Economics, Government, and Math. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a safe, welcoming environment where students can learn at their own pace. Outside of academics, I enjoy spending time outside and enjoying good food with family and friends.

...to high school and even college students. My other position was as an education consultant for university applications where I taught advanced writing workshops to working professionals. Through my editing and consulting services, I have helped my clients gain entrance to elite US institutions such as Columbia University, the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell University, and others. Outside of school and work, some of the things I really enjoy are picnics and big dinners with friends,...

...students studying for the SAT, ACT, and GRE. My favorite subjects to tutor are Spanish, writing, history, and math for all levels. I love helping students see their own potential for success and discover their strengths. Through patience and hard work, they can improve in areas they don't feel as comfortable and eventually gain the confidence to take any test with ease and certainty. I am lucky to help students grow and flourish in many...

...instant anxiety kicks in. I believe a good tutor must do more than teach content. She offers positive reinforcement and guidance, discerning aid every step of the way. Outside of academia, I act and sing in musicals and choirs, do improv comedy, visit art museums, and run around the city in pursuit of food. I like to eat. I also love reading, although it's harder and harder to make time for that. I enjoy few...

...understanding of the subject matter that will help you into the future. I'm certified to teach from kindergarten to grade 12. The liberal arts curriculum I took at St. John's University has ensured that I not only can tutor students in technical fields but also humanities. I am a savvy test taker and would be able to teach your child not only the content necessary to excel at an exam and other standardized tests, but...

...recommend me more than the usual benchmarks of achievement, they may be of more value anyway. Compassion and patience, with recourse to humor, are certainly invaluable for a tutor. I have always been able to do well in academic settings and test-taking. Much of this success derives from long-hours devoted to assignments and preparation, but no small part owes to the way my mind learns. My mind is suited to books and the classroom, and...

...enrolled in a coding bootcamp. I think coding is an incredibly challenging as well as rewarding occupation. As a lifelong learner, I love to help others understand a topic they are struggling with. I feel that the tutor gains as much as the student from the experience. As a tutor, I believe that students will enjoy learning if they understand the material rather than memorize it, so I always strive to clarify the underlying principles...
