Latin Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Lake Grove, NY

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

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. 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 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. 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.

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

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, Renaissa

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

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 experi

I have always been motivated not only to succeed in school, but by a real curiosity and passion for learning. (I'm a professional journalist, which means it's my job to ask "Why?" and find the answer). My bachelor's degree is in history, but I also took lots of classes in the social sciences and humanities. As a journalist, I have stellar writing and editing skills. At Dartmouth, I served as Executive Editor of the daily student newspaper, where I mentored writers and junior editors, working closely with them one-on-one to generate article ideas and polish their writing. I have tutored middle and schoolers in Latin, English/writing and math. I love working with children of all ages and have extensive experience babysitting, as well as working as a camp counselor. I have always adored children- I wanted to babysit back when I needed babysitters myself. I grew up with two excellent models
