I graduated from Binghamton University (SUNY) in 2008 with a double degree in Linguistics (B.A.) and Neuroscience (B.S.). After working as a behavioral neuroscience research technician for nearly two years, I pursued a position in 2010 at Cornell University within their Behavioral and Evolutionary Neuroscience program. I am currently a doctoral student in Neuroscience at Tufts University Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences, pursuing my dissertation research in a biochemistry lab studying GABA receptor structure and function. I have been tutoring the sciences since my undergraduate years at Binghamton. I have worked with students in a wide variety of coursework, ranging from linguistics (anthropological and psycholinguistic) to the harder sciences (including biology, chemistry, basic neuroscience, and experimental psychology).

Hello Students and Parents, I would like to offer my unique skills as a doctoral candidate in clinical psychology who specializes in working with children with developmental disabilities (e.g., autism, down syndrome), learning challenges (e.g., ADD, ADHD, anxiety), and medical diagnoses (e.g., diagnoses affecting sleep, attention, processing speed, school attendance). I have worked with children in their homes, in hospitals, in community clinics, and in schools. I have also worked with many teens and would be happy to tutor those who are older and looking for some extra help. My unique contribution is that, in addition to sharing knowledge and study skills, I am trained to help children regulate difficult emotions like frustration or hopelessness or embarrassment, overcome fears and anxieties, find and maintain motivation, improve self-esteem, and use creative problem solving to maxi

I am a trained and experienced Orton Gillingham tutor. I have been tutoring 1:1 since 2002 in the Massachusetts and Nashua, NH area. I also tutor students with Executive Functioning disorder in study and organizational skills. My goal is to help students become self-competent and self-confident. I have been teaching for 30 years and continue to train and work to develop the very best program for each child. I strongly believe in developing pro-active learning skills by scaffolding the student with individually designed learning strategies and leading them to feel self-confidence to be "in the driver's seat" of their educational process.

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, as well as several years of individual tutoring experience. 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 ada

I am currently a graduate student in Medical Sciences at Boston University. I have taken many biology and chemistry courses during my studies, and I feel comfortable tutoring: molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, general/organic chemistry, and general biology. In addition, I have also taken the entire lower division math sequence for engineers, so I am able to teach elementary math up through calculus except for geometry. In addition, I am able to teach statistics and elementary physics as well. I have 1 year of experience tutoring high school students in an after school program in Oakland, CA.I have also tutored students from elementary up through the high school level. I enjoy seeing the "A ha" moment that students get when a concept becomes clear to them. I am not a big fan of memorization and have encouraged students to not only understand the concepts, but to also link the

When it comes to teaching writing, there are a number of different approaches and techniques, and while each will appeal to different people, all are valid. I believe the most important factors in teaching a student how to write well are practice and praise. I would show, by example in other’s work and especially the student’s own work, what has been done well, and encourage more of it. I’d also encourage the student to explore his or her writing voice and to get comfortable converting thoughts into written words. I am very patient, laid back, and organized, and I believe that everyone has the potential to become a strong, competent, and confident writer. I love teaching because it allows me to share my passion for writing with others. In Spring 2009, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Duke University and was offered a merit scholarship to the MFA in Creative Writing Program at Emerso

I enjoy being a part of any child's learning experience. I understand the individuality of each child and strive to respond to them as such. This means I try to grasp each student's learning style and adjust my teaching approach accordingly. I strive to create a positive learning environment, focusing on the child's strengths as well as their weaknesses. I believe all individuals learn best when the experience is enjoyable, so when possible, I like to relate the subject matter to the student's interests. I do whatever I can to set each student up for success in all areas. Education has always been a very important part of my life. Upon graduating high school, I went directly to college at Eastern Michigan University. I earned my BS in Psychology in four years, working as an assistant preschool teacher for one and a half years during that time. After graduating, I worked as a special

Whether I am helping a student with prioritizing assignments, studying for tests, teaching study skills, or guiding him or her process of writing papers, I strive to promote metacognitive awareness throughout the tutoring experience. Students ultimately need to develop an awareness of how they learn best and what strategies work for them. It is my job to facilitate this process while yielding improved academic results through collaboration with students along the way. Over the course of my years as a Learning Specialist in a university setting, and as Master Tutor Certified by The College Reading and Learning Association, I have developed and refined successful techniques with students who may struggle with the following: executive functioning issues, ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, Asberger’s Syndrome, English as a Second Language, and various non-verbal learning disabilities.

I have enjoyed caring for & teaching children no matter what the individual need may be since I was 14.I have an enthusiasm for learning, but believe in gettting to know what each child finds interesting to reach him/her in order to spark the interest of learning & instill confidence, even if the thought was that the subject was 'yucky' or 'I cannot do it.'I believe all children are capable, given the opportunity, understanding & time.I think success stems from listening to the child, being able to translate that communication no matter what form into an educaitonal tool and then make it fun in a creative way.I think that a motivated child learns more quickly & retains a greater amount of information about the subject.

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!
