Latin Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in East Setauket, NY

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 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.

I love teaching people of all ages. My easy going demeanor and enthusiastic attitude have allowed me to make a strong connection with all my students. This connection is crucial because I have a what I believe is a traditional teaching style which emphasizes organization and analytical skills through constant and sustained practice. By connecting with my students and treating them as individuals, I foster the sense of responsibility required to follow through and become a successful student in any subject. As an undergraduate at NYU, I earned that extra spending money by tutoring Latin. As my customer base grew, I branched out into mathematics and general study skills. After college I went to Europe to earn an MA in Linguistics. Upon return, I immediately began a PhD program, and I used my previous experience in a number of side jobs teaching English as a second language. Over the

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, Renaissance poetry, and modern fiction, but my experience teaching introductory courses has given me a broad range of knowledge and teaching expertise in other areas of literature as well. I am also an experienced tutor in science and math. My bachelor's degree was a double major in English and Biology, and I worked as a tutor of both subjects as an undergrad. I also tutored fellow students in mathematics, including basic calculus. 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 a

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

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 experience in tutoring and forming people on a one to one, two or three basis. 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 cou

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
