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 philosophy. I

My engaging style is evident at the start of each tutoring session. I show my students by personal example how to persevere and succeed in academics and in life. For the past 15 years, I have been a full-time tutor for students in grades 1-12. I am a graduate of Wesleyan University with an emphasis in physical and cultural anthropology and an ongoing fascination with the study of prehistoric human societies. Presently, I use my diverse experience as a tutor, copy editor and radio news broadcaster to make each tutoring session truly memorable for my students. My students quickly see how much I care for their progress and success. I consider tutoring to be much more than just a profession, but a way to provide others with needed assistance. It is this goal, when met, which provides me with my greatest satisfaction as an educator.

I am very patient and I make sure the student thoroughly understands a topic before moving on. I motivate the student to succeed and teach good study skills and test taking skills. Normally, I use the student's textbooks and classroom materials during our lessons. For standardized tests, I use prep books, such as Princeton Review. Students do best when they are encouraged and receive positive feedback. My students are extremely satisfied after our lessons, and I receive wonderful feedback from children and adults I tutor. For the past 10 years I have been tutoring, working with students and helping them in various subjects. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Binghamton University, SUNY in 2005. My GPA was 3.8, and I was on Dean's list every semesterOne of the subjects I tutor is college statistics and a student of mine went from an F to a B. Also, I prepare students for SATs/ACT, and my la

You can message me here or there to confirm that is really me. I'd love to hear from you! My goal is to connect with the student at THEIR level. We start by going over the basics of problem solving and work from there to foster independent thinking. I use varied approaches when the student is "stuck." I am friendly, patient and very persistent. I can assist with classwork and homework, and will tailor tutoring sessions to your needs. I will assign supplemental work to advance in the subject area as needed or desired. My ultimate goal - to work myself out of a job!

I firmly believe that each child is capable of enjoying the learning process and having an intellectual life. While these two factors are essential for students to achieve high marks, our factory school system often fails to instill a love of intellectual pursuit in our children. Therefore, as a constructivist teacher, I strive to engage students where they are and create an environment where they can discover their own intellectual potential. I graduated from Binghamton University in the fall of 2010 with a B.A. in History and a cumulative g.p.a. of 3.952. I have spent every summer since 2006 teaching Sailing, Marine Biology, Oceanography, and Environmental Conservation at the Stony Brook School to 4th – 11th graders in a variety of programs. In the fall of 2009 and 2010 I acted as a Teaching Assistant at the College Level, where I taught writing and essay construction to Juniors pursui

One of the things I take pride in is my ability to adapt to the many different learning styles of students. I believe strongly in educating the whole child and making his or her learning relevant to increase interest and retention levels. I also believe firmly that as educators, it is our job to help students realize the importance of education and achieving one's personal best, whatever that may be. I am professional, courteous and respectful, and over the years, I have earned the reputation for being able to connect with my students and their parents, which helps all of us achieve success during tutoring sessions. As a member of the Fellows in Teaching program at Columbia University's Teachers College, I was exposed to some of the most renowned educators in the field and had the opportunity to engage in real world experience.
