More About This Tutor...

My philosophy is that education should be as individualized as possible because people do not learn in the same manner. For instance, some people are visual learners while others, like myself, are auditory learners. I strongly believe that educators should expose their students to as many fields and ideas as possible. For instance, when I am teaching, I prefer to instruct students on different topics- biology, culture and rules of the English language are particular favorites of mine. I also like to give ideas and explanations that are different than my own (when teaching abstract concepts, of course) so that students can formulate their own opinions.
I have recently graduated from Roger Williams University in Bristol, Rhode Island. While attending university, I studied various courses- natural science, social science, criminal justice, biology- but my true passion lies in foreign ... read more

My experiences have taught me that a cookie-cutter teaching style is not suitable for every individual. My responsibility is to quickly identify the students weaknesses and turn them into their STRENGTH! I am a every interactive teacher. It is my strong belief that anyone can succeed with the proper motivation, reinforcement and tools. My tutoring style emphasizes the student as an active participant in the learning process. With an approach that is clear, reliable, friendly, and personal, I look forward to helping a student succeed in their academic career. I do not have one specific teaching style, but rather have several styles that I implement based on each students specific needs.
I understand that finding the right tutor can be confusing and time consuming. My specialty is to offer a customized experience to each student. I recently graduated 'Summa Cum Laude' fro ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Friends and colleagues often tell me that I should have been a teacher instead of an entrepreneur based on my clarity of expression and passion for instructing. I instinctively augment my spoken word with drawings, gestures or other “reference systems” to help learners grasp the necessary background and repeat processes on their own. I prefer incremental check-ins to make sure students understand intermediate steps and apply theoretical concepts to real life situations whenever possible. Most of all, I have boundless enthusiasm for these topics which further engages my students in the process of learning.
Though my educational background tells of a ‘numbers’ background (economics, MBA), I consider myself a strong communicator and leader, too. I was fortunate to attend a leading high school, which gave me the foundations to excel at Colby College (undergraduate, magna cum laude) ... read more

As a wildlife biologist for 15 years, I spent a good portion of my career giving presentations to a wide variety of audiences and educating people one-on-one about environmental issues. I have both Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees. I recently underwent a program through the Department of Higher Education to become certified to teach 7-12th grade science. I student taught 9th and 10th grade and have been substitute teaching at all grade levels. Because of my education and career, I am knowledgeable in many math subjects, biology, physical science, grammar, reading, and botany.
Every child has his/her own learning style. I think it is important to first determine how each child best learns – either visual, auditory, or tactile. I can then tailor my instruction to the needs of each student. In general, I believe that people learn best by ‘doing’. I believe th ... read more

Having an excellent and extensive educational track record, I feel I am well positioned to assist current students achieve their goals. I have a JD from NYU School of Law, which helped me master such skills as reading comprehension, analytical thinking and persuasive writing.

I have tutored chemistry students and served as a teaching assistant at both Yale and William and Mary, as well as having privately tutored students in high school math and science.

I recently graduated cum laude from the University of Rhode Island with two Bachelors of Science in Marine Geology and Maritime Law. I teach sailing and environmental education in the summers. This means very little however as I aspire, one day, to become a lighthouse keeper. Sadly, few can find such a position these days. I enjoy writing, science, mathematics, literature and most all music.
When I taught sailing to young kids, I used to dress up like a pirate. I have lots of energy. I know I'm doing my job right when kids start laughing. When I taught to teenagers, I kept in mind my own experiences at that age. If I'm helping a student study hard on that big, important test that might have the ability to crush the student's soul - I bust out my acoustic guitar and sing about how It's The End of The World As We Know It (And This Test Means Very Little In The Long Run ... read more

I am seeking a degree in Finance and Actuarial Sciences from the University of Connecticut. I achived a high level of proficiency in math from a very young age and finish Advanced Calc 3 and a half years ago. I have tutored a student for his entire second year of high school in all subjects with noticable GPA improvements.
I developed a patient style of simply allowing a student to set his own pace yet make sure he lives up to his own promises. Making lasting commetments allowes the student to take controle of his own improvement, yet allows me to see what he need direction in. In showing the student alternative practices, he will see the benifit in changing his ways for the better.

My MAT is almost complete, and focuses on Secondary English Education. During the past two years, I have been working as an intern and teacher on both the middle and high school levels. Before teaching, I completed by BA in Political Science and English and continued on to work for a large political consulting firm in Washington D.C. Due to all of my schooling, I have written many essays and reports, but I also write for pleasure. I have prepared students for both the CAPT and CMT tests, as well as PSAT exams. During my teaching experience I have focused on literature and language arts, and have often tutored my own students before and after school.
As a teacher, I am well aware of the many different ways that children learn. As I said previously, I have been art of both the middle and high school environment, and have worked with students of many different levels. Some chil ... read more

I have a doctorate in English and over twenty years teaching college-level Composition and English. No matter the skill level or writing project, I can help students improve their ability to write clearly and effectively. Additionally, I have over three years tutoring for a national SAT prep company and can help students prepare for the Critical Reading and Writing sections of the SAT.
While my approach varies with each individual student and situation, my overall goal is to help the student understand the subject matter/assignment at hand. I attempt to make each tutoring session comfortable for the student while at the same time helping him/her achieve success in the assignment/subject.

This week I am graduating Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), Troy NY with a degree in computer and systems engineering. For the past four years I have been working at NASA and our nations leading research institutions to gain a strong background in computer and systems engineering. My goal for this summer is to begin a tutoring position to help students with math and writing and inspire future engineers by relating the subject matter they are working to exciting engineering opportunities that exist in the community. My teaching experience includes work as a teaching assistant (TA) for embedded control at RPI and taught summer classes in computer graphics at the East Hartford Glastonbury Magnet School. In addition I have a strong background in technical writing, recently publishing a second research paper for AIAA.
Math can be fun, especially when applied to exciting app ... read more

I feel children are very self-aware and are very vulnerable to positive and negative feedback. Therefore, no matter how little progress is made, praise them. If no progerss is made or if an issue needs to re-addressed, praise them..."That was great, but let's try it this way!" I feel that you are positive, smiling, and they believe that you believe in them, 9 out of 10 kids will follow you!
I was more of an instructor than a teacher. I was a day camp counselor at Solway House parent/child resort in Saugerties N.Y. I instructed kids how to swim, dive, play various sports and gave dancing lessons to the guests. As a high school student I tutored 7th and 8th graders in an after school community center. I was one of a few staff at the University of Connecticut to instruct graduates and staff in the use of the various electronic facilites available to them.
