Patient and Supportive, but always Persistent

I have logged over 5,000 hours of tutoring in the last four years. I have worked for a game company, which taught me how to approach tests as a contest between student and test-maker, and my extensive background as a writer gives me practical experience when it comes to teaching English and related subjects. My competence in math has always been obvious, as my 796 score (maximum 800) on the math SAT will attest. But most important: I love to teach any child or adult who wants to learn.
I am patient and supportive, but persistent. Each student's mind works differently, and I work tirelessly to find the best way to present material to every child or adult. I have a varied background, not just in the academic world, and I feel I can find the right way to relate to each individual. I try to be somewhat informal, but I recognize the times when a little extra emphasis on the need to real ... read more

As a Visual Arts Teacher and Special Educator, I am a resourceful, energetic person with a commitment to fostering lifelong learning in students. I am positive, outgoing, and approachable, with a talent for drawing out young people and putting them at ease. My philosophy in education is that all children are capable of being successful in school and life and their experiences and accomplishments should feel both enjoyable and rewarding through their own desires and perseverances. Given the rapid advancements in technology, I have come to realize that students can access much of the information needed to be successful in life. With this in mind and given the ever changing classroom philosophies around methods and instruction, I believe teachers’ curriculum and lesson plans can also include ways to support their roles as facilitators in a classroom where the teacher then guides student ... read more

Compassionate Tutor with Legal Experience and Much More!

I am a graduate of Harvard Law School, where I received my Juris Doctorate. I have a diverse set of personal and professional experiences that make me a compassionate yet firm teacher. I have taught French to children and Legislation to law students at Northeastern University School of Law. Practicing as a corporate lawyer, family counselor and non-profit/in-house lawyer gives me a broad platform from which to tutor. Plus, I am more than a lawyer, I have a passion for all things food, and have recently rekindled my love for the stage as an actor. I am most proud of being a mother to a mostly well-adjusted fifteen-year-old daughter. We live in Somerville with three adopted animals, two cats and one dog.

I have taught reading during a four year period, both junior high and high school levels. Most of this was classroom rather than individual instruction. The training I received during my graduate studies for my Masters degree consisted of analysis of the English language in terms of reading skills as well as methods for teaching such to individuals or small groups.

I believe in identifying where a student lies on the subject he/she is studying before going further. The advantage of one on one tutoring compared to classroom is that the lesson can be based around where the student’s strengths and weaknesses are rather than a blanket method. I also believe that the skills used in English can be best practiced and analyzed through writing rather than worksheets and tests. Therefore, I believe in having the student write on a variety of subjects and working through these pieces to show where they can improve.
I graduated from Fitchburg State University in 2009 with a Bachelor’s of Science in English and Professional Writing. I went on to become a staff writer for the Lowell Sun, a daily print publication in Lowell, Massachusetts. When I was laid off due to budget cuts, I wrote freelance for several entertainment and political publications. I a ... read more
