1+ Years Tutoring

My goal is tutoring is to help my students be the best learner that they can be. I am willing to help a student reach higher grades, but more important to me than the grade is that the student is actually getting something out of what we are doing, and truly learning, not just retaining information, but engaging with the material and enjoying what they are learning. I firmly believe that hard work pays off, and with the right encouragement and help, a student can achieve anything they set their mind to. You're never to old to learn something new, and the doorways opened by education are endless.

In 2009 I graduated summa cum laude from Providence College with a Bachelor of Arts in history and secondary education. I am certified by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to teach history for grades 7 through 12. For the last three years I have been employed at the United Teen Equality Center, a non-profit organization in Lowell, Massachusetts that provides services, opportunities, and supports for 'at-risk' and 'proven risk' youth between the ages of 16 and 24. While working in UTEC's educational wing, I have taught high school history classes in partnership with Lowell Public Schools and served as the organization's main adult education instructor for youth enrolled in the workforce development program. I've also developed curricula across five different content areas. When I'm not teaching, I read, write, and support the mighty Arsenal in their latest Premier and Champions' League campaigns.

Jeff
MS Drexel University • BA Providence College
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Providence College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. Upon graduation, I worked in hospital administration until beginning my pursuit of a Master of Science in Medical Science through the Drexel University College of Medicine. I have been tutoring middle school, high school and college students in Chicago through Varsity Tutors since November 2014. My own passion for math and science and my academic history of them has resulted in a focus in tutoring within these subjects. Of these, my favorite topics to tutor are Algebra and Chemistry, as they both have discernible patterns within the material which leads to a better understanding as one builds new topics on previous ones. I have found that students have the most success in first reviewing basic concepts to assess and address where they are having difficulty, followed by continuous problem-solving to reinforce the concepts and strategies until they become second nature. Like the subjects that I teach, I believe that education is an ongoing and ever-growing component that is necessary for a happy and fulfilling life, and that there is always something new to learn each and every day. In my spare time, I like to exercise, volunteer, play basketball, go snowboarding, watch sports (mainly football and soccer) or play video games.

MS Stony Brook University • BA Providence College
5+ Years Tutoring

I am a caring, passionate, and innnovative English language arts and writing teacher who is ready to help children with any and all of their verbal, reading, grammar, or writing needs. I am a graduate of Providence College, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in English, taking many pre- and post-1800 English courses, including Victorian (19th c.) literature, Shakespeare's Tragedies and Romances, and a survey course on Geoffrey Chaucer and his contemporaries. I also took many elective courses in creative writing and theatre outside of my major requirements, such as: Theatre Appreciation, Public Speaking, Oral Interpretation, Short Story Fiction, and Prose Poetry. I recently graduated from Stony Brook University with my Master of Arts in Teaching English. At Stony Brook, I took graduate English courses such as 20th Century American Poetry and 20th Century American Fiction, while also completing teaching courses required for certification (Special Education, Human Development, Methods of Teaching English I and II, and Foundations of Education). I am now certified by New York State to teach grades 5 through 12, though I have also worked with younger age groups as a substitute English teacher at Riverhead Charter School (Calverton, N.Y.) and St. Edward the Confessor (Syosset, N.Y.). Currently, I am employed as a fifth grade English/Math co-teacher at Riverhead Charter School, where I differentiate instruction for many students with disabilities while meeting the learning standards of Common Core for all of my students. However, I am not one to sit still and in my free time I would love to help other students improve their ELA skills and also learn to love writing and reading for its own sake. I look forward to hearing from anyone interested in my tutoring help!

I am a December 2022 graduate candidate studying Biology with a pre-medical track at Providence College. I am passionate about helping students learn science in a fun and unintimidating way. I want students to understand that just because a certain topic has the stigma of begin hard does not mean it cannot be fun or attainable. I am most passionate about teaching math, especially algebra. This is subject that can be confusing but once it is made fun and systemic we can make it a breeze for you. In the future I hope to become a physician for the pediatric population.

Current Undergrad Student, Accounting and Finance Providence College
1+ Years Tutoring

I am currently a freshman at Providence College, studying Finance and Accounting through the Honors Program. Prior to my studies at Providence, I graduated from New Milford High School in the top 5% of the class. Throughout high school I helped tutor my fellow peers through the Math honors society and National Honors society. I also tutored students from grades 1-8 through the Homework club. Through these experiences I have seen the joy that learning brings to students lives, and in turn brought so much happiness to mine in seeing these students excel. I am enthusiastic to tutor a broad range of subject and am particularly passionate about mathematics. Being a freshman in college, I have recently gone through the standardized testing process myself and am eager to share my knowledge to help relieve the stress of test taking, by preparing my students for the material and showing them techniques needed for success. Through my experiences as a student and tutor I have learned the value and felt the joy that education brings to so many, and seek to spread it to my students.

Stefano
BA Providence College
9+ Years Tutoring

I have been helping both peers and younger students my whole academic career first as a friend, then as a paid tutor. I have always loved to share my knowledge and experiences with those who are struggling in their endeavors to succeed in school. What I learned over the years is that we all stumble into problems and difficulties at some point, and we all manage to overcome these challenges by asking others how they solved their own. That is what problem solving and tutoring should be all about: humbly admitting your own mistakes and difficulties, and sharing the solutions to those problems with those you are tutoring.

Cayla
BA Providence College
10+ Years Tutoring

I have a PhD in physics from University of Wisconsin-Madison and have a B.S. in Applied Physics and a minor in Mathematics from Providence College. I've helped students of all ages and skill levels reach their goals in science and math courses. I enjoy being a resource to help students struggling in math and science, as these subjects can be difficult to understand. I employ a variety of strategies including mnemonic devices, physical manipulatives, and drawings/diagrams to accommodate different learning styles. Typically, I have the students attempt to solve a problem and then ask leading questions whenever he/she gets stuck. If the questions are more conceptual in nature, I start with what the student knows and build upon that knowledge. I am passionate about math and science, and I use that enthusiasm to help develop skills and confidence of my students.
