Kevin M. - Greenwich, CT 06831 (8.9 mi) - Composition Tutor - $75.00/hr.
I like to get students to comprehend the material and then have them push themselves and use what they have learned. I have been a teacher in Stamford Public Schools K-12,a United Nations correspondent, published a novel, and have a BA in Literature from Purchase College. I have experience with teaching large classes or individual tutoring, and I'm great at presenting ideas that the student can identify with. I get people I'm working with to realize they can do more than they think they can.

Natalie L. - stamford, CT 06901 (9.6 mi) - Composition Tutor - $72.50/hr.
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

Julia T. - Danbury, CT 06811 (13.6 mi) - Composition Tutor - $22.50/hr.
I focus more on individual progress than grades. I think it's important for tutors to help students work at their own pace, develop stronger study skills, and build confidence in order to achieve academic success. Currently, I work as a Museum Assistant at the Yager Museum of Art & Culture in Oneonta, New York. As a museum assistant, I perfect my verbal communication skills, anticipate others' wants and needs, and take initiative in assisting museum visitors. I've also lent my creativity and excellent writing to The Mommy Dash and Hilltops, or Hartwick College's newspaper. From my employment history, I've built strong leadership skills and gained a strong need to work and constantly better myself. I believe these traits qualify me as a strong tutor, as I've learned to communicate effectively with children, discern their strengths and weaknesses, and encourage them to progress at their ow

20 years of freelance writing has proven a solid foundation for pretty much any kind of writing. Assisting kids with complex essays associated with college applications is an area of particular expertise. College has become increasingly competitive and the essay component is critical. The ability to communicate effectively will immeasurably help us all. Colleges use the essays as an initial introduction to the applicant and first impressions matter.
