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 effort.

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 analyt

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 and vocabulary. Outside the college classroom, I have been tutoring students in Italian, and I have helped students with application essays, as well. My tutorees have been admitted to graduate programs at Harvard, Columbia, Berkeley and Hopkins. 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 stud

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 stude
