A Little Bit About Me...

In tutoring any of the traditional subjects (Latin, Greek, formal/informal logic, rhetoric, critical thinking), I emphasize the objectives common to them all: (1) acquisition of context-specific vocabulary, (2) a feel for the flexibility and polysemy of a given word's lexical-semantic meaning, (3) a comprehension of the text's thematic, stylistic, and evaluative undertones and progression. The three, taken together, require us to formulate arguments by sifting through material, with an eye to analysis on how texts are crafted for presentation in terms of form and content. The result is an understanding on how these three are essential for reading, arguing, and, ultimately, thinking critically. Subjects Tutored: Besides the aforementioned subjects, I also tutor for calculus and chemistry.
I earned my B.A. from Tulane University magna cum laude in classical languages and philosop ... read more

You can only benefit from a mutual working relationship with me, the real deal – an Italian from Rome with varying Latin and Italian language (and culture) tutor experience, with a Master’s degree to boot. With a working portfolio of seven students and eight years’ experience, I have mastered the art of time-effective, cost-effective language learning for students of all abilities, ages 14-24. My intimate network of educands forced me to think creatively and plan strategically for each student’s goals – passing a test, augmenting general working knowledge of a subject, constant tutoring and assistance, and so on. I have worked with students who have severe behavioral disorders, those who are learning handicapped, others who were extremely advanced for their age, and some others who were simply average. Conducting engaging lessons is the key of my work – especially at this particolar age ... read more

I have a long-standing practice of teaching of Russian non-Russian students. It should be noted that the Russian language - is my native language. I was born and raised in Central Asia, where they speak Russian zyke without accents. This speech became my speech. I also had a job as an editor and presenter of television broadcasts in Russian. I have successfully worked on the Russian language teaching to students of all ages. In addition, I am a translator in Russian novels, stories and tales of the Uzbek authors. My translations were published in newspapers and magazines, and came as separate books. I am confident that my knowledge and experience will be needed you.

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 always try to find the spark that will bring the topic to life for the student and will help them to take hold of their curiosity to use it as a tool for discovery. Science, math, and art are all simply different ways of putting that curiosity to work understanding the world, and so in my tutoring I try to guide the student's own natural creativity to help them learn, so that their learning can continue even after I am gone.
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, Re ... read more

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 ... read more

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 countless students in French, among whom my wife who speaks perfect French.
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 ... read more

My teaching philosophy is that learning is most effective when it is also enjoyable. I bring in diverse art forms -- painting, music, architecture and film -- as mnemonics in illustrating points of grammar. For example, in teaching adjectives, I ask the students to describe Renaissance portraits, and in this way I help my students to retain the lesson. I tell my students that language acquisition is all about repitition and persistence, and our knowledge of a foreign language grows bit by bit like a coral reef. I think that patience and good humor are important qualities in every learning environment.
I have just earned my doctorate in Italian from Columbia University. I feel strongly my teaching of college Italian at Pace University is helping to open doors for my students, not only in terms of encountering Italian culture but also in terms of improving their English grammar a ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is direct, disciplined, relaxed and conversational. It will not work to just dictate to a student! The point, I think, in tutoring, is to develop good study habits and identify and discard the bad ones. Once we know what works, we can proceed from there. It is also a question of knowing that studying can be made interesting and fun. Most high schools serve up tedious, boring curricula in tedious, boring ways. Yes, there are some things that need to be memorized, there is some brain sweat involved, but overall I believe that my education is expansive enough to offer a new way that can rejuvenate your child's interest in learning and the subject matter involved.
My teaching experience was ultimately a learning experience for me. While attending Brown University to get my MFA in Fiction Writing, I also got the opportunity to teach two college courses in my d ... read more
