More About This Tutor...

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

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 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 ef ... read more

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 past 4 years I have tutored several individuals in English focusing mostly on grammar and writing skills. Several of my students have gone on to graduate degrees at Ivy League institutions such as Columbia and Yale Universities.
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 ... read more

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.

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 wel ... read more
