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

A Little Bit About Me...

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 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.

More About This Tutor...

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

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. In addition, my three years of experience as a camp counselor and my one year of tutoring Latin students has built my confidence as an instructor and educator. I have taken the Earth Sciences Regents exam, as well as many other Regents exams, making me more than familiar with the questions and format.
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 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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

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 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

A Little Bit About Me...

I attended the University of California at Berkeley, where I studied Latin and Classical Archaeology. I work with students of all levels of Latin, and am therefore familiar with many books, including The Cambridge Latin Course, The Oxford Latin Course, Wheelock's Latin, Latin for Americans, and Ecce Romani. I taught Latin for one year at The Willows Academy in Des Plaines, IL for the school year of 2006-2007. Most of my students are students of Latin, however, I do work with an Ancient Greek student as well.
Working with many different students has allowed me to learn a myriad of teaching styles. I have assisted students with ADD/ADHD and learning differences. Because each student is an individual, each lesson is done according to their needs. Sometimes I work primarily on reading and asking questions about the grammar, while, with others, I may have them write out the Latin and dr ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Children are one of my biggest loves in life due to the fact that they are still forming themselves for the world and are soaking in so much. With that said, my style is to approach each as an individual. Everyone has their varying levels of understanding and the realm of teaching/learning is no different. I strive to find innovative ways to make material not only be understood but also invoke a yearning for more. Through patience, dedication and sometimes repetition, every child can find their learning curve and ride it to the top. It's the most fundamental time in a person's life so I aim to treat it with as much nurturing, respect and encouragement as possible.
As a high school student as well an undergraduate, I always chose to use my extracurricular time towards enriching and educating others. I did so through health and sexual education outreach, being a counselor at the YMCA ... read more
