I am patient and approachable but insist on the value of completing assignments even if the student "hates" them. I am good at explaining how this will be important later, which turns around reluctant learners. I believe in explaining, showing, modelling, and then stepping back while the student tries, explains, and determines where the mistakes come up. I value resiliance, and bask in the joy of competence achieved through effort. I went from the Boston Public Schools to Commonwealth School and then Wellesley College, and would have been lost, early on, without help from tutors. I majored in English and Russian and work with several communities for whom English is not their first language. I am also a freelance writer and editor and I help my children's friends with their college essays. I work as a substitute teacher with all levels and grades and teach everything but Science and Gym.

My teaching style is direct, disciplined, relaxed and conversational. It will not work to just dictate to a student! The point, I think, in tutoring, is to develop good study habits and identify and discard the bad ones. Once we know what works, we can proceed from there. It is also a question of knowing that studying can be made interesting and fun. Most high schools serve up tedious, boring curricula in tedious, boring ways. Yes, there are some things that need to be memorized, there is some brain sweat involved, but overall I believe that my education is expansive enough to offer a new way that can rejuvenate your child's interest in learning and the subject matter involved. My teaching experience was ultimately a learning experience for me. While attending Brown University to get my MFA in Fiction Writing, I also got the opportunity to teach two college courses in my discipl

Currently, I am an educator at the New York Historical Society and in the past I have taught 9th and 12th grade Humanities at High Tech High School. My recent students attend many different schools in Manhattan including UNIS (the United Nations School), Calhoun, NYU, and Hunter College. I have experience with AP and IB coursework and many standardized tests including the SAT I and II, ACT, Regents, ISEE and more. In the past, I taught middle school test prep at Memorial Charter Academy. While in college I have served as a Teaching Assistant and tutored undergraduates. My teaching style varies based on my students needs and incorporates a range of methods. I am familiar with Orton-Gillingham Techniques, the Montessori Method, Project-based learning, Inquiry-based learning, and finally Cooperative-based learning ¬¬- all of which I can incorporate in my sessions. I have the unique ability

I have been teaching within urban communities for over 10 years. I have worked primarily with middle and high - school students teaching all four disciplines of science; Latin and also Math. I possess a Bachelors degree in Health Science and Biology. I am a creative and energetic teacher. I work well with students on the secondary level from 5th grade to 12th grade. I strive to build a student's confidence via short term goal setting as well as helping them to organize their thoughts and instructional materials. Sometimes, I think of myself as a motivational leader. I am passionate about helping students to reach beyond their achievement expectations. My greatest joy is seeing a student make educational breakthroughs.

I have always been motivated not only to succeed in school, but by a real curiosity and passion for learning. (I'm a professional journalist, which means it's my job to ask "Why?" and find the answer). My bachelor's degree is in history, but I also took lots of classes in the social sciences and humanities. As a journalist, I have stellar writing and editing skills. At Dartmouth, I served as Executive Editor of the daily student newspaper, where I mentored writers and junior editors, working closely with them one-on-one to generate article ideas and polish their writing. I have tutored middle and schoolers in Latin, English/writing and math. I love working with children of all ages and have extensive experience babysitting, as well as working as a camp counselor. I have always adored children- I wanted to babysit back when I needed babysitters myself. I grew up with two excellent models

I am a teacher who believes that a discovery technique of education has proved to me that all students can learn and master what they themselves view as their true and real career choices. I have a proven track record and know what I can and can not do for each of my students. I would like to work with people of all cultures in this world of mutiticulural education. I graduated Boston College with a B.S. in Biology and a minor in liberal arts;susequentally I earned a D.D.S. Degree fron NYU. I have taught students in Math and Science courses as well as students in various levels of high school and college in SAT prep,ACT prep. My education has been extensive mostly because of the Jesuit education which instilled in me a life-long interest in helping all students to reach their innate potential.

I attended the University of California at Berkeley, where I studied Latin and Classical Archaeology. I work with students of all levels of Latin, and am therefore familiar with many books, including The Cambridge Latin Course, The Oxford Latin Course, Wheelock's Latin, Latin for Americans, and Ecce Romani. I taught Latin for one year at The Willows Academy in Des Plaines, IL for the school year of 2006-2007. Most of my students are students of Latin, however, I do work with an Ancient Greek student as well. Working with many different students has allowed me to learn a myriad of teaching styles. I have assisted students with ADD/ADHD and learning differences. Because each student is an individual, each lesson is done according to their needs. Sometimes I work primarily on reading and asking questions about the grammar, while, with others, I may have them write out the Latin and drill th

My teaching philosophy is that learning is most effective when it is also enjoyable. I bring in diverse art forms -- painting, music, architecture and film -- as mnemonics in illustrating points of grammar. For example, in teaching adjectives, I ask the students to describe Renaissance portraits, and in this way I help my students to retain the lesson. I tell my students that language acquisition is all about repitition and persistence, and our knowledge of a foreign language grows bit by bit like a coral reef. I think that patience and good humor are important qualities in every learning environment. I have just earned my doctorate in Italian from Columbia University. I feel strongly my teaching of college Italian at Pace University is helping to open doors for my students, not only in terms of encountering Italian culture but also in terms of improving their English grammar and voc

As a high school student as well an undergraduate, I always chose to use my extracurricular time towards enriching and educating others. I did so through health and sexual education outreach, being a counselor at the YMCA and Boys & Girls Club, dance/art assistant teaching, and volunteering at UCLA Children's Hospital. As a Political Science major, I was no stranger to hard work, particularly in writing. It strengthened my passion for words, honed my analytical skills and made me an excellent proofreader and editor for various publications. I have tutored students in English and the arts primarily and thoroughly enjoy it. Being around children is one of the most mutually beneficial learning opportunities. Children are one of my biggest loves in life due to the fact that they are still forming themselves for the world and are soaking in so much. With that said, my style is to approach eac

I have extensive experience with children of all ages, particularly 9-12. As a camp counselor, I created a fun and safe environment where my children and I grew together. My one year of tutoring lower-level Latin students was very rewarding. I am patient, persisent, and passionate. Having once been a student myself, I've found that I exceled most when I developed a passion for my subject matter. I attempt to make my passion for Earth Sciences (or Latin) contagious to my students. My favorite professors always created an enthusiastic environment for learning and I try to do the same for my students. An education in Geology at the University of Michigan has sparked my interest in our planet. My BS in Earth Sciences has fueled my passion for the Earth which I love to share with others. Through many labratory reports and essays, I have developed strong written and verbal skills. In

My teaching style is based on maintaining high expectations and students' personal responsibility for their own learning, while always taking a patient and encouraging approach. I have found learning to be an exciting and energizing experience, and I believe it can be so for my students as well. I always try to find the spark that will bring the topic to life for the student and will help them to take hold of their curiosity to use it as a tool for discovery. Science, math, and art are all simply different ways of putting that curiosity to work understanding the world, and so in my tutoring I try to guide the student's own natural creativity to help them learn, so that their learning can continue even after I am gone. As a graduate student working toward my Ph.D., I teach two college courses each semester called Introduction to Literature. My own studies are on Victorian novels, Renaissa

After Theological studies in Fribourg Switzerland, I taught French and general subjects in Rouiba, Algeria. While a religious brother I trained candidates in different spiritual studies in New York. In 1997 during a 2 1/2 years stay, I founded a school in the small poor hamlet of San Marcos in Nicaragua. During my final studies at SUNY Empire State, I wrote numerous essays which received excellent grades, and received a BA in European Languages (I also have studied German and Latin, with basic Italian) Finally through the years, I have tutored countless students in French, among whom my wife who speaks perfect French. I love to tutor students and provide the tools for them to reach their potential in French especially. I am not a teacher per se since I built and organized a school in Nicaragua. My teaching experience in North Africa was short. My strong point is to have a great experi
