More About This Tutor...

I have found that I have a passion for teaching children of all ages. For that reason, I am pursuing a career in teaching. I have taken the Communications and Literacy MTEL and will be taking the Elementary Math MTEL on May 9th of this year. I find the best way to help a student is to find out what they are passionate about. I find out about their likes and dislikes both in school and in life and try to gain their trust so they are more likely to be interested in getting tutored by me. I mix in some praise with some constructive criticism.
Even though I have been in the financial services field for over 16 years, I have tutored students both in college and after college. I was a volunteer freshman basketball coach at North Cambridge Catholic for 3 years. I was a volunteer tutor every Saturday morning for the Steppingstone Foundation where I mentored middle school and high sc ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love helping students achieve educational goals. I believe that every student has the capacity to learn and the right to be a successful student. Not everyone processes things the same way, I like to use my students' individual learning styles to dictate how I teach. The goal of tutoring is to assist the individual and therefore I adapt my style to suit the specific needs of each student.
As a graduate of one of the premier Universities in the United States I have had an opportunity to learn from the very best higher education has to offer. Over the past several years, I have reinforced my editorial skills as a college and graduate school admissions coach, helping students prepare for standardized tests, write and edit essays for University applications and prepare for interviews. I have experience in teaching English and Sociology as a Teaching Apprentice at the University level ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Overseeing recent high school graduates’ transformation into college students has been a gratifying experience. I take a hands-on approach using in-depth discussion, analysis, in-class exercises, peer review, and revision. As a teacher my role is both to instruct about accepted concepts and methods for reading and writing and to act as a resource to help students improve their skills. Prompting them with questions and encouraging them to keep refining their work, I witness their realization that what I am asking them to do is not impossible. I give my students the tools they will need to succeed throughout school and beyond.
For the past three years, I have been working as a senior lecturer in freshman composition at Suffolk University. In addition to my teaching experience, I also volunteer regularly with 826Boston, a non-profit tutoring and writing center in Roxbury, MA. From we ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have tutored students with a wide range of abilities and realize that they have different and unique learning styles. As such, I use a wide variety of teaching methods to reach as many students as possible. By the time students are in their 3rd and 4th year, my teaching style is based more on discovery learning. I provide a framework and act as a guide as my students search out solutions for themselves. I try to encourage my students to be critical thinkers and not passive consumers of information. I draw a connection from the material discussed to current events in the news, and place the material in a historical and cultural context so the students have a broader understanding. I often reflect back on the teachers I have had - the ones who made a positive impression - and what I liked about them. They had a sense of humour, presented material in an interesting way, neve ... read more

As a Boston College graduate of both the undergraduate and masters in accounting program, I feel as though I am extremely proficient in many areas of business, including writing and math skills as well. The math skills are from my first year and a half as a math major at Boston College, and the writing skills come primarily from my English courses and BC's strong requirement for business writing as a necessary qualification to graduate. I have only tutored students for one year as a service learning project, at the Saint Kevin's School in Dorchester, MA (an elementary school) in basic reading, writing and math skills.
I am very interested in seeing kids prosper through the obtainment of knowledge and learning new ideas. I think that it is crucial for students to be taught in accordance to his/her own personal needs, which hopefully while working with the same tutee, I would be a ... read more

I believe anyone (this means you!) can learn to write well and enjoy it. I can help you conquer writer's block, say what's in your heart and mind, make yourself understood ... and get good grades. It can be hard work, but I'll make it fun. Perhaps most important I can explain grammar to you in a way that makes sense so it will stick with you. Once you know why, it's much easier to remember what's right. The great thing about writing is that you often end up amazing yourself with your creativity, insight, and ability. I know you can do it!
For the last 15 years or so, I've worked as a professional writer in the travel industry. I've also published a few newspaper articles. Currently, I am studying for my Master's in Journalism at Harvard University Extension School. My professors there will vouch for my excellent grammar skills. As a writing tutor with 826 Boston, I have help ... read more

My teaching style is more along the lines of the Montessori system. Given the freedom and much direction from the tutor, the student will often "discover" the essence of the lesson. In discovering the essence of the lesson, the student will take ownership. In taking ownership, the student in turn will develop pride, self worth, and a thirst for more knowledge and more successes.
I have a passion for knowledge, and have tutored high school and college students in the area of History, reading, and writing composition. I love teaching, and watching the student progress and excel!

A Little Bit About Me...

My passion is for empowering young adults; perhaps the mantra is "educate to elevate". I have been told I build trust quickly, especially with difficult-to-reach students. Once trust is established there is a burden to do whatever is best for that student. Deadlines go better with a patient hand; discipline goes better with a sense of humor; details are better appreciated with a larger motivational goal. Failure is an underrated educator (or at least learning to overcome failure). We each benefit from someone walking with us while we learn on the journey.
My education degree in journalism reflects my interest and expertise in a wide variety of subjects. Most importantly, I have the ability to communicate, written or orally, and to prioritize and organize. Also, having worked with troubled teens, I find I am at home with difficult learning situations and a wide variety of stu ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in constructive criticism and positive reinforcement, steering students to find their own voice and style. I recommend simplicity in writing and the importance of making arguments in a clear, concise manner. For many students, writing is deeply personal, and I'll always respect their choices while guiding them to improve their presentation.
In addition to working for many years as a writer and editor for newspapers, Harvard Law School, and as a freelancer, I have volunteered as a writing tutor and ESL classroom tutor. I have worked with students on a wide range of skills, from bolstering the English-language ability of students from other countries to helping advanced students craft sophisticated academic analysis and college essays. I enjoy using my editorial skills to help students improve their writing and succeed in school.

Two things sent me back to college for a teaching degree: a belief that good reading and writing skills are a survival skill for children in today's world, and a desire to personally do something about it. It was my reading comprehension skills that enabled me to succeed in high-tech businesses without an engineering background, and it was my command of clear, persuasive writing that set me apart, time after time, from other candidates when I applied for promotions. I tutored for many years on a volunteer basis (reading, writing, and SAT.) For the last two years, I taught in typical Los Angeles public schools: overcrowded, noisy, underfunded, many struggling students, many foreign-born students. I learned more about how to teach English and writing in those two years than I would have thought possible.
I have high expectations for all of my students. They know it, and when w ... read more
