Award-Winning Tutors in Stamford, CT

...as a math teacher and coach at a public middle school (my team of 7th graders just won the 2016 New Haven regional championship!), and I've been tutoring middle and high school students for over 7 years. On top of all of that, I'm an aspiring professional in the business world - this past summer I worked at an internship in financial consulting (banking advisory & analytics), and have previously held internship positions in human capital...

...in Mathematics and History. I strive to bring students toward their lightbulb moments not by repeating facts until they're drilled in, but by helping my students understand precisely why the laws of science, the rules of grammar, and the events of history are the way they are, and by lifting the curtain on the intricacies of the subject matter. I believe that learning is, and ought to be, for its own sake. Math and philosophy,...

...concepts and terms. I had a near perfect attendance record, but still struggled with performing well on tests. I thought to myself, why was this happening? Students have so much pressure to perform well on standardized tests. We cram with flashcards, pull all nighters, and even sacrifice our social time to prove to the world that we retained what we learned that year. But are we *actually* learning? My goal as a tutor is to...

...types of handwriting, and practicing on any scrap of paper that I can find. These hobbies are all connected by a love of intricacy and an attention to detail that is found through all levels of education, especially within mathematics. I firmly believe that tutoring is an extension of the teaching process, and that as such my job as a tutor is to give my students the skills they need not only to solve the...

...me develop an innate understanding of grammar. I love helping students with reading, English language and literature, and writing particularly around college applications, admissions essays, and SAT preparation. I have extensive experience tutoring foreign languages through my work as a Spanish & Arabic tutor at Princeton and through language exchanges completed while studying abroad in Mexico and Egypt (ages 18-30). I believe that learning a foreign language is hugely rewarding for students of all ages...

...involved. I’m always down for racing against my students doing math problems or coming up with hilarious study mnemonics for upcoming tests. This past fall, I lived in Padua, Italy as an au pair for a family with a 6 year-old and an 8 year-old. I got to improve my Italian, drink delicious cappuccino with the other au pairs in the mornings while looking out over the beautiful piazzas, and travel all around Italy. I...

...a degree in Transatlantic Relations, I am incredibly passionate about both Francophone and Anglophone cultures. As a tutor, I try to transmit that passion to my students. I believe that a language cannot truly be understood without also understanding the culture from which it originated, and vice versa. I also believe that students will be more inclined to learn and practice a language if they are captivated by its culture. I am particularly fascinated by...

...studying English (or maybe political science, philosophy, or whatever else catches my attention in the coming year). I've been tutoring for years, first as a high school student helping my peers as a member of the National Honors Society, and later to help students prepare for standardized tests like the SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams. I'm also a Senior Staff Writer for Columbia's student newspaper, the Daily Spectator, so I'm pretty much constantly...

...Team for 2 years, have traveled internationally competing in debate tournaments, and tutored extensively on campus. I have years of experience teaching students of all ages in different subjects, and I am excited to work with new clients to help them find success! Whether you are looking to score in the 99th percentile or just to get through a challenging course, I would love to help you reach your potential. I look forward to working...

...artistically direct the work of other actors have granted me tools to adapt my interpersonal strategies and create a rich, varied instructional style. As in the classroom, it is of utmost importance in the rehearsal space to unconditionally validate the contributions of students. Through my work on- and off-stage, I have facilitated the unrestricted generation of ideas by establishing clear rehearsal and communication standards to create an intellectually and emotionally safe space for all crewmembers....
