Award-Winning Latin Tutors serving Suffolk County, NY

...I genuinely enjoy tutoring. I'm also a "professional" student. I say this because absorbing, analyzing, and integrating knowledge from my medical courses are necessary skills for my own academic success. And so, I am more than happy to share my study strategies, techniques, and tips with students. My strengths lie within the sciences (e.g. AP Biology, Biochemistry, AP Chemistry), followed by mathematics. I also enjoy teaching and tutoring Latin. Believe me when I say it's...

...in Political Science and Classical Studies. In my junior year I worked as a Student Academic Mentor, helping my fellow students manage their work, classes, and stress.

I had the chance to hone my editing skills in publishing internships with science fiction/fantasy publisher Tor Books in...

...and excel on assignments and tests for more than five years. I strive to not only prepare students to exceed academic standards but also to be critical thinkers and curious, well-informed human beings. I recently completed a dual degree at Indiana University and moved to New York to take a gap year before beginning graduate school. As a scholarship student at IU, I majored in economics, cognitive science, and piano performance. Outside of tutoring, you...

...Classical Studies. That means a dead language--Latin--and a lot of history, philosophy, mythology, and the like. I love it; I love the way it makes me think and interact with language. The idea is to write in our own living language, and I'm currently finishing up that self-indulgent, semi-autobiographical first novel. I think it's great---we'll see if anyone else agrees. I attended the Brunswick School in Greenwich, CT from 2002-2006. I worked hard, and I...

I also have experience tutoring in college level Biology and Chemistry classes. As a NYC native, and a Bronx...

...own with Varsity Tutors. As I prepared to take my LSAT I soon realized how crucial that help would be, without them I would never have gotten as far as I have. In life you need to know when its ok to ask for help and in prepping for the any major standardized test, or just trying to get ahead in a subject you struggle with, turning to others is always a solid option. Lets...

...East Coast and to get a chance to continue working with students! While I'm comfortable work with students of all ages, my most recent teaching experience was serving as a volunteer teacher's assistant for sixth, seventh, and eight graders in English, Math, and Science. Before this experience, however, I have worked as a coach, mentor, and tutor with students age 9-18 on and off for the past ten years. I enjoy learning with students of...

...of learning the language before you can enjoy all the brilliant and moving literature it has to offer. Sometimes students are even told they are "bad at" a language, before they have had the chance to achieve small accomplishments and look forward to bigger ones. The way into Latin and Greek is confidence through mastering the building blocks of the languages, enjoying the "strategy game" aspect of translation, and learning how to understand a thrilling...

...California, Berkeley but am currently living in New York while finishing my dissertation on the British Empire in India in the late 18th Century. I am originally from New York City and attended a very academically oriented private school, so I have first-hand experience with the stresses and concerns many students face, regardless of the school they attend. I benefited from private tuition myself and would like to consider my story a successful one, therefore...

I also enjoy a successful career on stage as a mezzo-soprano, performing opera, zarzuela, chamber and orchestral repertoire around the world. As a musician, I have learned that many strategies for learning music can also be applied to learning a new language, and I try to integrate these strategies with those...

Loving math and helping others go hand in hand for tutoring. I like the accomplishments when students achieve what they need mathematically and succeed in their courses or with standardized tests as a result.

...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.

...important adventure that yields development and logical thinking. I find that education is an important experience that must result in the students complete understanding of what they are learning. For some, this is not always easy. While being a teacher, I also find myself considering those I instruct as peers because I too am learning. Thus, tutoring to assist those who need help only further exemplifies the need to improving one's educational adventure.
