More About This Tutor...

I hear over and over again that "I'm not a good test-taker" from students but strong test-takers are not born that way! Instead, they develop good test-taking skills and habits over time. You, too, can study and master the test-taking skills to excel on any test. I'd like to enhance your testing attitude and share with you test-taking strategies, tips, hints, and right approaches that will have you saying, "I'm a good test-taker!" And remember that you could master anything you want to master, if you wanted it bad enough and you're willing to work for it!
I'm a professional tutor with more than 4 years of experience. I offer one-on-one and group tutoring in English and Math, standardized tests - ASVAB, TOEFL, IELTS, and more! I have Masters of Laws degree, MA in Translation and Interpretation and M.S. in Medical Sciences Program. I'm a patient, reliable and supportive teache ... read more

My comments on tutoring English : I've been a writer for 40 years.

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 really concentrate is necessary.
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 ... read more

College Undergrad Looking to Tutor English Students

While I have never conducted a formal tutoring session, I have edited the work of my peers and more recently assisted my girlfriend's younger sister with the completion of her college essay. From my experience, I have found that I prefer to work one-on-one with the student whose work I am editing. That way, I am able to explain my revisions and help them understand my reasoning behind making certain edits. I'm not, by any means, a hard-nosed individual, but I'll certainly do my best to ensure that the student learns something.
Not only was English my favorite subject as well as the one I was most proficient in in high school, it eventually became my major in college. I majored in Journalism at The University of New Hampshire, and while I have not yet received my Bachelor's of Arts from the institution I am a mere handful of credits away from earning it (9, to be exact), an acco ... read more

Individualized instruction

I taught for seven years in public education. My experience spans from grades 5-8. In that time, I worked with a diverse population with varying needs. My classroom was inclusionary which required modification of instruction, and learning about a variety of learning disabilities. Many of my students were ESL, as well.
Brain based instruction focusing on individual learning styles.

My comments on tutoring English : Certified teacher of English as a Second Language

As a certified ESL teacher, I have had many one-on-one adult students who want to improve their English. We will concentrate on building skill in speaking and listening for understanding . Confidence is key, and building foreign language skills will give you that confidence in social settings, while shopping, speaking to your children's teachers and other everyday situations. I have taught adults from China, Russia and Eastern Europe, and India. No matter what your first language is, the skills needed to understand Americans spoken and written English are the common goals.
Interactive - communicating as you would with native English speakers.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am an excited, passionate, and creative teacher who focuses on unique ways of displaying information. I like to teach content thoroughly but also with a high interest level. My students will work hard, but will have fun and enjoy the process.
I have just completed a Master's Program in the Arts of Teaching at Sacred Heart University.
