Award-Winning Latin Tutors serving Mount Vernon, NY

Hi! My name is River Knight. I'm currently a student at New York University. I've actively worked as a tutor for the last 5 years. I hope to help my students find the joy in what they're learning and give them tools to improve on their own!

I am a Ph.D. student at Columbia, and I just moved to New York City this fall! I love tutoring and teaching students, and I have worked with a number of educational programs, from boarding schools to Americorps. I specialize in languages (English, French, German, Latin, and Ancient Greek) and test prep. I seek to help my students make connections between new material and things that are familiar to them, breaking down higher concepts with...

I am a current sophomore at Barnard College studying Biochemistry with a minor in Dance. I have previous tutoring experience in AP Chemistry and Organic Chemistry, for both high school and college age students. My personal teaching philosophy is to lead my sessions with a student-based approach. As a current student myself, I understand the frustrations that we can encounter when working to learn a new subject, and I am committed to working with students...

...in Linguistics but then did a post-bac for Pre-Med at Harvard and next year I will be going to medical school. My dual background in the humanities and sciences has given me knowledge in a wide range of subjects. I have experience tutoring anything from elementary school Math to High School English Literature to college level biology. I work with my students on what they are learning using the materials and the style your professor/...

...of years. I had the chance to hone my editing skills in publishing internships with science fiction/fantasy publisher Tor Books in downtown NYC. My tutoring style is based on the belief that each student comes to a problem or subject from a different angle. The trick is not only to find the approach that works for the student, but also to boost the student's own investment in finding the methods that work best. I believe...

Hi! I'm Noah, a recent graduate of the University of Pennsylvania.

...of a sentence. In history I try to help students understand the "historical method" as easily as possible through exposure to historical sources and understanding of their uses--I also frequently approach history from a so-called "bottom-up" or microhistorical approach, which I've found in teaching Roman Republican history can be very useful for students in understanding how a society functioned, which is crucial for their understanding of causality of events. These methods of approaching teaching in...

I have taught and tutored students of all ages, from preschool to undergraduate, particularly enjoying my work with ESL students and students with disabilities. I am especially passionate about foreign languages, the humanities, and social sciences. I received four consecutive gold medals on the National Latin Exam when I was in high school, so I am eager to help students who are struggling with the subject. I also specialize in the areas of English-language writing,...

I am a writer living in Brooklyn. I grew up in a suburb of Washington, D.C., and attended Oberlin College in Oberlin, OH, where I majored in history. In college I acted as an editor for the Oberlin Review and as research assistant to an English professor. I spent one semester abroad at Trinity College in Dublin, and another semester at the Williams-Mystic maritime studies program in Mystic, Connecticut. It was an eclectic undergraduate experience...

I love to learn! My own enthusiasm and curiosity are some of my greatest teaching assets as I've found the feelings are contagious within my students. My experience working with diverse groups of students and learners, including special education students, makes me uniquely attuned to each students individual needs. I also believe that learning at its core is a fun and exciting process. I would love to bring all of my skills to you or...

I am a recent college graduate from SUNY Albany. I received my BA in Sociology with a minor in Psychology. I'm planning to go to Hunter College in the fall to pursue my Masters in Social Work. I've tutored elementary school aged students in math, spelling, science, reading, and writing comprehension. I've also tutored fellow classmates from high school/college in Beginner Spanish (Spanish 1), and various math subjects/levels.

...different needs. I connected with them because I understood the struggles students face when language is a barrier. I was an ESL student myself in elementary school, so I understand the importance of patience and how that can shape a student's learning experience. Some children I taught math to were involved in their learning and assessed their knowledge through fun 'game' based exercises. I was able to observe the academic gains from children working collaboratively...

...preparation, and executive functioning. From there, I moved to Austria for a year under Fulbright Austria as an English language teaching assistant; I worked in two Austrian high schools, learning from a number of skilled local teachers, and developing and teaching my own English lessons. As a tutor, I am a strong believer that no two students are alike, so I adapt my teaching style to each student to help them learn using their strengths...

Raised in Salt Lake City, Utah and educated at Reed College and the University of Utah, I received my B.A. in Philosophy from the latter with minors in History and English Literature. For the last several years I have been honing my German language skills and plan to pursue an advanced degree in Europe some time in the near future. My tutoring experience ranges from ESL to standardized tests. I've worked as an assistant debate...

...preschool to high school both math and english. Afterwards, I began tutoring friends and local clients, primarily for the SAT and PSAT. I currently tutor for those standardized tests along with math, both algebra and calculus, essay writing, grammar, and Latin. My approach to tutoring is strengthening the basics and then teaching the complex. Students are like buildings; they must have an unbreakable foundation before they can be built up. Also, I find that students...

Hi! My name is Jordan and I'm a Chemistry major at Dickinson College. I have more than 3 years of tutoring experience and I'm excited to work with you on anything you're struggling with.

Experienced in literature and writing content, I love working one-on-one with students to improve their writing. Whether it's a college essay or ELA paper, I utilize a variety of tactics to help students execute their ideas effectively on paper.

...other languages with which students from diverse backgrounds may be familiar. I also was blessed to study under Dr. Margaret Mitchell, who, rare among professors with her incredible record of research and publications, displays a passion for teaching and an interest in innovating pedagogical techniques. For the next two years, I will return to Hunter College for its advanced certification program in teaching Latin. I am confident in my work ethic and my ability to...

...especially enjoy helping students prepare for standardized tests because I remember how helpful a compelling guide and mentor can be during the often stressful process of testing and preparation for it. In addition to performing well on the exams themselves, I believe it is just as important for students to learn how to think calmly and confidently about these tests, so that they can help to serve students' broader educational goals. In addition to tutoring...
