Award-Winning PSAT Tutors serving New Haven, CT

...from my passion for learning and the desire to communicate what I've found in a way that my students will not only understand, but enjoy. This passion has led me to have a strong command of the English language in all its forms, including the reading of literature and poetry, writing academic essays, a knowledge of grammar, and other linguistic elements such as phonetics to help with teaching pronunciation. Professionally, I've been an English educator...

...Yale University, hailing originally from Seattle in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I believe that education is one of the most fundamental aspects of a society's wellbeing, and that it is the duty of those of us who have been graced with the advantages of a good education to give back in some way; one of my motivations for tutoring is to do my part in that way. In my free time, I love playing piano,...

Hi! I'm a freshman at Princeton University from Greenwich, CT. I'm currently pursuing a degree in Operations Research and Financial Engineering, with a certificate in Computer Science. I'm also fluent in Chinese, and currently taking a heritage speaker's Chinese class here at Princeton. I'm more than happy to help you with any math/science/Chinese questions!

...with joy or fondness. It's hard to accept that a single number, derived from hasty answers to abstract questions, can play such a huge role in your future. My own experience as test-taker and test-teacher has convinced me that as a tool for evaluating students, standardized testing has its share of flaws. But the tests aren't unfair or unbeatable; they challenge you to learn a specific language. I don't mean the fancy vocabulary you'll want...

...helping students overcome test anxiety by learning strategies that can help them stay calm and be efficient. In particular, I want to help students who struggle with timed essays - I myself had to learn ways to complete them successfully, and I hope I can pass on some of these skills. Outside of school, I enjoy volunteering, making music, and reading. I have volunteered in a number of healthcare environments and would love to talk...

...and fun! I am a nationally known leader in teaching with technology, and you'll see that in each of our tutoring sessions if you'd like. We are a team! That means I will maintain contact with your school teachers and keep parents in the loop to make sure we have covered all that's needed to make my students a success! I have spent years working with national organizations for gifted students and also with students...

...I had a hard time remembering concepts and terms. I had a near perfect attendance record, but still struggled with performing well on tests. I thought to myself, why was this happening? Students have so much pressure to perform well on standardized tests. We cram with flashcards, pull all nighters, and even sacrifice our social time to prove to the world that we retained what we learned that year. But are we *actually* learning? My...

...largest event was a 4 hour SAT math seminar that was attended by 165 High School Students in Greenwich, CT. Most recently I've partnered with The Walter Luckett Jr. Foundation to bring SAT and ACT prep to students in New Haven, Bridgeport, and Waterbury. My spare time is spent playing golf, skiing and hiking, and teaching archery to kids in after school programs. As your tutor, my job is to provide you with simple approaches...

...that I wanted to become a teacher. The learning process fascinated me and I wanted to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with future students. Upon entering the field of education, I quickly realized that teaching was much more than bestowing information upon a room of students, to be soaked up by their sponge-like brains. I came to understand that teaching is far more complex, demanding, and rewarding than I ever imagined. Like teaching in a...

...into my tutees. While sometimes tests (both standardized and otherwise) can be tricky and decrease students' faith in themselves, I am certain that, with a little confidence boost, any student can make great strides with their coursework. As a teacher, I offer patience, humor, and brevity. I have enjoyed the time I've spent getting students to become engaged, excited, and proud of their knowledge. I look forward to giving my tutees this "confidence boost."... As an...

...material in a clear and approachable manner. Past students have remarked that my teaching style is animated and are surprised at their ability to focus and understand concepts even after a long day of school, practice, or work. When I am not teaching or grading papers, I can usually be found playing some brass instrument or another, umpiring baseball, trying out a new recipe in the kitchen, or spending far too much time on Netflix.

...middle school level since 1972. I retired in 2009 after 37 years of teaching, took a year off, and decided that a life of retirement wasn't for me. Fortunately I was rehired as a math interventionist and I've been working at that job ever since, and loving it. I'm active in my local Lutheran church and served as its financial secretary. I'm currently an elder in my church. I've taught in summer school and in...

...I know how it feels to fall behind in a class or want some extra time with a subject. I love learning and I want to help other students feel the same way. Or at the very least, I want them to feel confident in their knowledge of a subject. I got my high school diploma from Choate Rosemary Hall, a top-ranked private school, and I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in English and Classics....

...year medical student at LMU DCOM currently taking a leave because my brother fell ill and my parents need my help here at home. I attended Stony Brook University and graduated in 2012 with a dual degree in biochemistry and health care management. I then went on to pursue a Master's in Biology at Mississippi College. I received a score of 30 on my MCAT with my breakdown being 9/10/11 (B/P/V). I've successfully completed almost...

Aspiring PhD candidate resident in Connecticut. I have lived in five countries (my birthplace Peru as well as the Dominican Republic, Panama, Nicaragua, and the United States). I speak English and Spanish fluently, and am self-teaching Quechua. From undertaking the International Baccalaureate program in high school, through my graduation (with honours) from the University of Connecticut, to my current master's program, I have a solid and multifaceted background in the social sciences and history.

...me to exercise my two passions: education and literacy. Being state certified to teach English to students in grades 5-12 gives me the opportunity to teach and tutor a wide range of material. My M.A in English Education provides me with a variety of tools to use when leading students toward fulfilling their academic potential. My goal is to make students feel confident and comfortable in their learning environment, free to ask questions and seek...

I have always had an interest in math throughout my life, majoring in Mathematics and Economics in college. My goal is to share my passion for math with others and help students develop a better understanding of not only the problem at hand, but also why learning math is useful and interesting.

...nerd help! As a summa cum laude graduate from Providence College (Go Friars!) who is currently pursuing a Master's in Education through Sacred Heart University to become an English teacher, I am excited to have the opportunity to work with you! While I do have experience tutoring in many subjects, English Literature and Writing have always been my true passions. With four years of experience working in college admissions, as well as two years of...

I love learning about my students' hobbies and interests, and strive to connect these with the material I tutor them on.

...mathematics, and (of course) philosophy. All of these areas stretch from an elementary to an advanced level, and I consider it of cardinal importance to equally value the successful communication both of elementary topics, such as algebra 1 or German word order, and complex ones, such as deontological critiques of utilitarian ethics. By valuing all levels of difficulty, I am able to give students a firm foundation, with which they can grasp truly complex ideas...
