Award-Winning Tutors from Boston University

I currently live in Glendale, AZ, and work with special needs students. For my undergraduate studies, I majored in Religious Studies and Theology. After finishing my Bachelors, I moved to Boston and completed two Masters Degrees in Religion, Philosophy, and Ethics at Boston University. I have taught classes, tutored, been a Teachers Assistant and a Research Assistant at two different graduate Universities. I am primarily interested in Religious Studies and Philosophy, but I also love to tutor literature, writing, special education, and research methods. Whenever I tutor, I make sure it is a fun and enjoyable experience. After all, who wants to be bored and frustrated when doing homework? Outside of education, I enjoy art galleries, poetry, playing guitar, and reading a good book.

Hi, I'm Shreya! I'm a Master's student at BU with 2.5 years of experience as a math tutor at UMass Boston. I don't do boring lectures. My sessions are a partnership; we work through problems together, and I tailor everything to how you learn best. My goal is to move away from the formal classroom vibe and make math feel more like a conversation. I'm truly passionate about that "aha!" moment when a tricky concept finally clicks for a student. Let's crush your goals together!

I've been tutoring English and French as a Second Languages for more than 10 years. As a writer and editor, I also teach writing, from essays to developing business plans. I lived in France for many years and have near-native fluency. I am certified to teach both English and French as second languages. I love working with students, and together we develop individual and specialized lessons. This helps them to be motivated and focused. I am pretty relaxed and friendly but I make my students work so they can improve their skills! Having lived abroad for a number of years, I am able to help students adapt to their new environment, which can be confusing and overwhelming, as well as exciting!As a native Bostonian, I am well-versed in the history and culture of Boston. Boston has a rich historical heritage, from the Plymouth Colony through the American Revolution. Boston is home to world-famous colleges, theaters, and museums, and has a rich music culture (Boston Symphony Orchestra, The Boston Pops, and a lively modern music scene). And many famous Americans, such as Benjamin Franklin, Edgar Allen Poe, Ben Affleck, and Jay Leno hail from Boston. And sports! Baseball, Football, Basketball and Ice Hockey - they are all champion teams! Because of this knowledge set, I can guide my students to a wide range of appropriate cultural and social activities in the city.I look forward to working with you!

I am a retired publishing professional with decades of experience in tutoring the English language. After retiring from publishing, I got myteaching certification, provided homework help to students with learning disabilities, and taught General Science at the Middle Schoollevel. I am also experienced in teaching English as a Second Language. I have worked with students in a Red Cross "survival skills" ESLprogram and I have worked with middle-school, high-school, and college students who needed help with English, Reading Comprehension,Writing, and ESL skills.I see myself as a "professional explainer." My undergraduate degree is a Bachelor of Arts from Goddard College with a concentrationin biology. I also hold a Master of Science from Boston University in Communications with a concentration in science and technology. Inthis degree program, students learn how to make complex material accessible to non-expert audiences. As a result of this training and myyears working with non-fiction writers, I bring a wealth of experience in finding many ways to help students understand complex concepts.I also like to call myself an academic coach. A coach helps students understand the material in front of them. A coach also pays closeattention to building a student's academic "muscles." My goal is always to equip the student with the intellectual and analytical toolsthat will enable them to succeed not just in school but in all their endeavors. My reward comes from watching the student grow andbecome an independent thinker.My joy in tutoring comes from seeing a student "get it" for the first time and in seeing the student's confidence grow as we work together.

As a former "if she would only just apply herself" poster child, I know it's not a lack of effort or want that's keeping you from doing your homework. Let me help by providing you with real tools that will help you long past your academic journey.

I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to work with students of all ages and backgrounds as a tutor. I have various tutoring experiences from tutoring college level athletes in Chemistry and Kinesiology, to teaching and tutoring Medical Terminology to high school students. My true passion for education and working with students one-on-one developed when I was serving as an Education Volunteer in the Peace Corps and had the opportunity to teach and tutor math, French and health sciences to elementary, middle and high school students. To be able to follow my students for the 2 years of my service and to see their growth and improvement was incredibly rewarding. I myself am a student again, working towards my doctorate in Physical Therapy at Boston University. But I miss the connections I had to my students in Burkina Faso and I am excited about the opportunity to work with students locally to help each student achieve his or her full potential. With my graduate level coursework in Physical Therapy and my years of experience teaching an tutoring math and French at various levels, I am excited to work with diverse students in varying subjects and grade levels.

I believe that each person learns in their own way, and I work hard to adapt to the unique needs of each individual learner. I believe that everyone is capable of developing their own strengths, and I work hard to help students realize their capabilities. I have significant experience teaching English as a foreign language, both in the US and abroad, and teaching writing to ESL learners. I have more limited experience teaching Russian and Spanish.

Hi! I am Florida State and Boston University graduate. I received a Bachelor of Arts in English and Humanities from FSU followed by my Master of Arts in Teaching from BU. I am a certified Language Arts/English teacher who is passionate about making an impact through education. I have led my students to great gains in the classroom with a combination of hard work, targeting misconceptions, catering learning styles to specific needs, and focusing on improving specific skills (rather than a general concept). I believe that for great teaching to take place, there needs to be a deep knowledge of both the subject and the student. I will work hard to get to know students and their individual interests; relationship building will be a foundation for the work we do together. I also have high expectations and will push us both to work hard to achieve the student's immediate and long-term academic goals.I have experience teaching in a charter school in New England, an inner-city school in Boston, a private college preparatory school in Virginia, and a public school in Florida. All of those experiences with students have granted me deep insight into cultivating success. I am passionate about building a student's self-confidence, working deeply with a text, and watching an essay develop.When not working with students, I am walking my favorite park, on my yoga mat, hanging out with my family, listening to podcasts, writing in my journal, reading a book, or listening to peaceful ambient music.

I am an instruction librarian at a university in Boston and a former classroom teacher. I hold a degree in education and a degree in English language and literature, as well as a teaching license from the state of Massachusetts.My experience in and out of the classroom, as well as my study of educational theory and practice, informs my teaching. I believe in combining evidence-based practices with a personalized approach to customize content, strategies, and materials to help each student learn best. The brain is always learning, and I do my best to help facilitate that process by collaborating with my students to make our sessions engaging, informative, and (dare I say it?) fun.

I am a graduate of both Florida Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Science in Physics and Boston University with a Master of Science in Physics.During my time as a graduate student at Boston University I worked in both classroom environments and one-on-one with physics students, as well as in the classroom with the Graduate STEM Fellows in K-12 Education (GK-12) program. As a BU Teaching Fellow I was responsible for leading discussion groups, working with students individually during office hours, and as a GK-12 fellow I spent a semester teaching with a high school physics teacher in the classroom.Because my physics background entails studying a wide variety of math backgrounds I am qualified to tutor most subjects in both math and science. I most enjoy teaching calculus and physics because I find it beautiful how well they integrate with and play off of each other. Calculus is the language that describes physics, and a large part of physics is calculus applied to the world.I like to begin engaging with students by seeing what stumbling blocks they are facing educationally and then finding ways to communicate and work through these ideas and processes. I think that understanding subjects like math and science can help you open up new pathways of understanding in the world, as well as improving critical thinking and problem solving.In my spare time I like to go cycling, rock climbing, and play billiards. All three of these activities I use as avenues to find and deepen my own focus. The bicycle is a device that is meant to make life easier, but allows the rider to make the experience as physically challenging as possible. I find that both rock climbing and billiards are a wonderful mixture of accuracy, finesse, strategic thinking and creative problem solving.

When I was only 5 years old, I started teaching. My classroom was my basement, and my dolls were my students.In college I studied English, and later I earned my first Masters Degree in Reading, followed by a second Masters Degree in Adolescent Literature and Technology.As a teacher, I am committed to supporting each student to achieve his or her personal best, and to have fun along the way!Let me help you learn the practices and skills needed to be a successful student!

Hi all, I am a recent graduate of the Economics Department at Boston University. I have five years of experience tutoring student-athletes on a variety of subjects in college and high-school courses. I tutor a variety of subjects: mathematics, economics, and history. However, my favorite subjects to tutor are introductory economics courses, Spanish and French language. These courses allow for real-life examples and applications. I love to get to know my students and use the reverse classroom method to help students build confidence and study skills.Looking forward to meeting you soon.

As a former Honor Roll student, who took AP Classes in high school, and assumed leadership positions in community service to prepare for entering a competitive college, I love to share my academic arsenal with students motivated to excel in their studies, and enter professional life prepared to succeed. I come from a family of educators - both of my parents teach, and promote educational initiatives. As a firm believer in a well-rounded education, I like to tutor subjects that exercise both Right-brained & Left-brained skill sets.Whatever a student's personal goals, I'm the coach who can help a student leverage their own personal learning style to perform: ace technical details, harness the power of repetition, and take advantage of the revising process the goes into producing polished results that land the job, the account, or gain an applicant entry to his or her university of choice.As keynote speaker of the Youth Toastmasters high school program, I can offer a structured perspective on planning and executing a speech, preparing mentally for the experience of public speaking, and constructively reviewing a completed speech.As a detail-oriented, mathematical thinker working in Billing, I can provide Algebra students with insight into working with formulas, identifying exceptions to mathematical rules, and identifying errors in logic. I like to refer to one of the golden rules of mathematics: make sure your results can be replicated by anyone correctly using your method.Classic literature has always had a place in my life, in and out of school. The lessons classic literature can teach the average reader is what makes great works of fiction like the Great Gatsby and Anna Karenina still relevant today. I'm also well-versed in the sentence, grammar, and paragraph structure that play into crafting an essay that will make the grade.

I'm a recent graduate from Boston University with a BA in Linguistics and a double minor in Anthropology and Clinical Speech Therapy. During my sophomore year of college, I made the decision to get on track to pursue speech therapy as my career out of my love of mentoring and fascination with language. I had my own humble beginnings in South Florida juggling AP tests and marching band at Cypress Bay High School, where I first had the opportunity to learn from and teach my peers subjects ranging from Calculus to English Literature to Jazz Theory. I will be returning to Boston in the Fall to pursue an MS in Speech-Language Pathology at Northeastern University.My teaching philosophy revolves around speaking to students' strengths and building flexible understanding of fundamentals. From grammar to statistics, any subject can be made approachable once a student knows the rules and understands the reasoning behind them. It would be a pleasure to work with you or your child.

My reason for tutoring stems 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 for the past 6 years, teaching everything from beginning ESL to college-level argumentative writing. My students have ranged in age from middle school students to adults. My credentials include being a certified ESL instructor, a trained and experienced middle/high school language arts professional, and an adjunct professor of writing at Southern Connecticut State University.

I am a graduate of Boston University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, with a minor in Biology, and a Pre-Medical concentration. Given this, my academic knowledge is obviously eclectic. In the past few years following my education, I have discovered a passion for teaching and currently work as an Instructor for Seven Hills Foundation. I have a straight-forward teaching philosophy which applies to each student as an individual learner. This helps to identify and clarify misunderstandings in the process rather than stumbling over information. I am able to teach in English and Writing, as well as across most maths and sciences, including Organic/Inorganic Chemistry, Biology, Statistics, Algebra, and Calculus. I strongly believe in lifelong learning, and try to practice that philosophy daily. My other passion is music, as I play guitar and piano. Otherwise, I enjoy spending time with friends and simple moments of relaxation.

As a passionate educator with a Master's in Music Education from Boston University, I have over 5 years of experience in tutoring and classroom teaching. My specialties include General Music, Drama, Creative Writing, Elementary English, Reading, Writing, Handwriting, Music Theory, Phonics, Piano, and Singing. I believe in creating a supportive learning environment where students can express themselves and build confidence in their abilities. I strive to connect with each student by tailoring my approach to their unique needs and interests, fostering a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom. In my free time, I enjoy exploring creative arts of all kinds.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Biopsychology from Tufts University and my Master of Science in Medical Sciences from Boston University. After graduating, I spent several years working in medical research labs in Massachusetts and California. I have a strong background in the life sciences, and am most passionate about biology and biochemistry, especially as they pertain to the science of human health. I am also a full-time parent of two young children, and spend my days encouraging curiosity, teaching through play, and answering endless questions. I believe that there are as many learning styles as there are learners, and that figuring out how to understand and leverage one's own needs, preferences, and quirks is the key to making learning feel natural and intuitive. In my free time, I enjoy swimming and fencing, am an avid reader and movie lover, and dabble in game design.

I have come a long way from that film student who had aspirations of becoming the next big writer/director, to the middle school math teacher I am now (and loving it).Having taught for twenty years, I have found the one subject that seems to be especially pervasive across the others is math. Thus, I have been able to teach basic math, honors algebra, and higher level math concepts by interspersing history, music, drama, creative arts, sports, literature, and film. An appearance on Who Wants to be a Millionaire has helped fuel student interest in knowing how one subject area affects another. I think this helps dispel the notion that math is all dry numbers and theory.My style in the classroom is very similar to my tutoring style. I listen, I observe, I plan accordingly. I have been able to work with students who previously had not a clue as to a specific concept and have had them walk away feeling confident about it, no longer fearing the subject when it has been brought up.While I specialize in math, I can be of great help to anybody needing help with history, literature, language arts, sociology, theatre, and film.When not imparting knowledge, I am busy outside, walking and playing with our dog, reading, writing, attending theatre, film, and most of all, playing general manager to my beloved New York Yankees.I look forward to working with you!

As a professor of writing at Florida International University in Miami, FL, I have extensive experience in working with students on their academic writing assignments, as well as editing written projects for those in need of such assistance.Over the past five years, I have also worked closely with students in comprehending the oral and written conventions of English, and I've taught English as a Second Language to Spanish speakers.In 2011, I graduated from Boston University with a master's degree in writing.I look forward to working with you on your writing projects. Thank you!

I have taught first- and second-semester French to Boston University undergraduate students. I was the instructor of record for the class, and my students referred to me as either "Monsieur," or, inaccurately, "Professor." For two summers, I tutored Reading Comprehension. What makes me a great tutor is my passion for student success and my love for the subjects I want to teach. The diversity of my students has taught me to adopt a new persona to fit each particular student. Zany playfulness is often the best for younger students, a certain amount of sarcastic humor can help engage some disaffected older students, etc.

I hail from Potomac, Maryland, where I was born into a family of math and science lovers. I shipped up to Boston for college and decided to hang around for a year afterwards, working as a CPR/First Aid Instructor. After growing weary of the Boston accent, I decided it was time for a change of scenery. In an effort to further pursue teaching, I flew to Israel for a year to work as a English teaching fellow in an elementary school. While there, my role was primarily to work with students on improving their English conversational skills, but I also ended up helping quite a few of them with math, in another language! It was by far the most enjoyable year of my life. The sense of satisfaction and fulfillment resulting from positively affecting the educational experiences of my students was truly remarkable and unforgettable.I firmly believe that learning should be enjoyable and fun. And it definitely can be! I love to laugh, and I also love to make other people laugh. If I can do that while successfully presenting material, my day is complete. I like to get to know my students as much as I can on a personal level, so that I can factor elements of their everyday lives into the learning equation (no pun intended). It is always beneficial to consider how various topics and concepts can be understood on an empirical level instead of just abstractly.Additionally, it is always my goal to develop a firm mutual layer of trust. I want my students to feel 100% comfortable expressing any worries or frustrations they may have. All students deserve the help and attention they need to make learning an enjoyable part of life! I look forward to lending it as best I can!

I believe that learning is a fulfilling and rewarding journey, and I'm here to guide you every step of the way. As a patient and dedicated tutor, I specialize in Spanish, math, and college admissions support. Whether you're mastering a new language, tackling challenging equations, or crafting the perfect college application, I'm committed to helping you achieve your goals!

As a tutor with a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering from Boston University and a Bachelor's in Astrophysics and Psychology from Tufts University, I bring a strong academic background to my teaching. With over 2 years of experience in mentoring and tutoring, I specialize in subjects such as Algebra, AP English Language and Composition, Essay Editing, and High School Physics. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to communicate issues, explore their interests, and ask questions. I am passionate about helping students develop critical thinking skills and fostering a love for learning.

I am a graduate of Boston University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Communication with a focus on Public Relations and Advertising. After graduation, I worked for a few years producing the advertising for Broadway shows, before switching to a higher education role as an Academic Advisor at Columbia University. In this role, I counsel and advise both prospective and current students who are part of our Master's Program in Sports Management.While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I always had passion for both English and Mathematics. I understand my work through systems, and tutor students to create the systems that work best for their own personal growth. Students learn to master their own work, and can continue to grow independently outside of the tutor sessions.In my spare time, I am a fan of Musical Theater - both as an audience member and occasional actor. I also run competitively and am currently training for the 2017 NYC Marathon.

I am a native French Canadian speaker, entirely schooled in French. I have been teaching both French and music to students of all ages for the past 25 years. I am passionate about helping you achieve your goals towards French speaking. Whether you want to achieve better comprehension, conversation, reading or writing, I look forward to working with you.

Hello! I am an incoming dental student at Boston University. I received my bachelor of science in Human Biology from UC Santa Cruz and my masters of science in oral health sciences from Boston University. During undergrad, I tutored college students in molecular biology and after graduating I became a middle school instructor. I enjoy helping students and making difficult material easy to understand. In my spare time, I enjoy crocheting, playing with my cat, running and exploring different cafes in the city I am living in.

I am a recent graduate of Boston University where I received a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with dual concentration in International Management and Health and Life Sciences. With a deep passion for education, I have spent the past several years tutoring students in Math, History, and English. I have had the opportunity to travel extensively and during my time studying aboard in China, I was fortunate enough to have the chance to tutor Chinese students. As a student enrolled in a Chinese university and a tutor to Chinese students, I have gained a deeper understanding of different education systems. This has reinforced my passion and belief that there should be a mutual appreciation for education.While I enjoy tutoring students in a broad range of subjects, I am most look forward to helping students realize their own potential and supporting them to reach their personal goals. I have grown to love the challenge of working with students and the personal relationships that I am able to build with them. Understanding students on an individual level builds trust and gives me insight to their learning style. When I am not traveling, I enjoy reading that challenges my perspective, swimming, cooking, and watching football.

I am currently applying to MFA programs and working as a tutor in NYC. I went to Boston University where I studied Mandarin, Political Science, and East Asian Studies. After spending a lot of time in Shanghai and coming back to the US where I worked at a midsize marketing firm, I realized I am really most passionate about literature and reading. I left the marketing world to pursue academia and have been fully immersed in this world of learning and tutoring for over a year. Outside of Varsity Tutors, I also tutor an 11th grade boy several times a week in AP English and AP Biology. Personally, I also enjoy writing fiction, specifically short stories, and I play acoustic guitar.

I love helping students with their personal statements! It's a wide-open genre that allows students to share their unique voices and experiences in a creative way. We have a lot of fun crafting voice-driven essays that show colleges much more than numbers and lists.

I graduated from Boston University in 2018 with a B.S. in Human Physiology and a minor in Spanish. I have spent the last several years working in healthcare and preparing for medical school, which I will be attending this fall! I am a lifelong learner and aim to work with you to find the techniques and approaches that will make a topic "click" for you! I am most passionate about the life sciences (Anatomy, Biology, etc) and English. I can't wait to work with you!

I completed the undergraduate liberal arts curriculum at Davidson College and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. Following graduation I completed four years of work at Children’s Hospital Boston in the Hematology and Oncology Department as a Research Technician investigating genetic disorders of iron metabolism in a mouse model system.After my time at Children’s Hospital, I enrolled in a graduate program at Boston University. After six years, I received my PhD in Molecular Biology, Cellular Biology and Biochemistry. My PhD research focused on developing a novel methodology for fluorescently detecting unmodified RNAs in living E. coli cells.Concurrently, I was engaged as a Teaching Fellow for courses in Microbiology, Physiology, Molecular Biology, Cellular Biology and Biochemistry. As a Teaching Fellow I instructed and tutored engineering students who easily absorbed Mathematics, but struggled with the life sciences. Working with these students was challenging, but success in motivating and helping them overcome learning barriers to succeed academically was my favorite part of the job and personally very gratifying. I now believe that teaching students how to push through any intellectual roadblocks and overcome learning difficulties can be more important than teaching the subject matter alone. When I am not in the classroom or lab, I spend my time playing water polo or life guarding, surfing and fishing the beaches of Nantucket.

I recently graduated from the University of Chicago with a Masters in Public Policy. I also have a Bachelors degree from Boston University in International Relations. Throughout my undergraduate and graduate career I have worked for multiple years in government at the local, state, and federal level. I tutor a wide range of topics including History, Government & Politics, and English. However, I am very passionate about teaching students how to write engaging essays and how to deliver their message effectively. I have taught high school, undergraduate, and graduate students and I have a very laid back teaching style.

I'm a Mechanical Engineering student with a passion for helping students build the foundation they need to foster academic success. I love math with my favorite being Calculus and I also like to tutor English language/literature courses. My approach to tutor is flexible and hands-on, with a focus on finding what works for each student.

My name is Lynne Kang and I was born in South Korea and spent my childhood in Singapore before moving to the States for high school. In 2013, I moved back to Korea for my husband's work with my 3 kids. And after 9 years, I moved back to the States. I have over 20 years of tutoring experience in both South Korea and in the US.

I am a student at Boston University in a double-degree program earning degrees in Violin Performance and English. I have a lifelong love of the humanities and the arts, and I am passionate about education as a means of passing on knowledge as well as a love of learning and intellectual exploration. I have experience teaching a variety of humanities subjects and have strong skills in the areas of written communication and language. As a musician, I have extensive experience as a violinist and have worked as a teaching assistant with the Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra, interned and acted as a substitute teacher at the Pierrot Chamber Music Festival, and taught music history classes. More information about my musical background is available at my website, averyscott.co

I am a graduate of Boston University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Human Physiology and my Master of Public Health with focus on Health Policy & Management.I currently manage a medical practice at one of the country's largest hospitals. I have extensive tutoring experience from the grades K-12, as well as college level. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about math.I believe that education is critical to living life to its fullest and try to encourage students to enjoy the process!In my spare time, I enjoy singing and spending time with my closest friends and family.

I am a test prep and college admissions expert. With over 15+ years of experience helping students identify, then get accepted to, the best college for them, consider me your one-stop college shop! My previous students have been accepted to all 8 Ivies, UCB and UCLA, Stanford, UChicago, and UK schools including Oxford and Cambridge. I have extensive experience in SAT Verbal test preparation as well as the start-to-finish admissions process. On a personal note, I grew up in Virginia, attending public schools, a public 'magnet' high school, and the University of Virginia. After completing graduate school in Boston, I met my Japanese husband, lived in Tokyo for a decade, and recently returned to the Good Old US of A. I pride myself on connecting with each individual student based on his or her individual interests and goals. I am a huge reader, love cooking and baking, enjoy travel and anything outdoors, and have studied FIVE foreign languages. I am also active in volunteer work, and I take any chance I can get to play with my two nephews!

To start, I am a Korean-American originally from a small suburb near Los Angeles, California. My educational history includes a major in General Biology and minor in Psychology from the University of California, San Diego, as well as a Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree from Boston University. My educational interests include anatomy and physiology, kinesiology, neurobiology/psychology, algebra, and child and adolescent psychology. My personal interests vary from cooking to hiking to watching and playing just about every sport possible.I have had many years of tutoring experience in both a class and 1-on-1 setting. My longest experience involved tutoring a group of 10-12 7th and 8th grade students; which included but was not limited to completing schoolwork, preparing for STAR testing, and providing additional quizzes and questions when necessary. I have also had several years of part-time tutoring jobs for children in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th grade, with additional experience in 1-on-1 tutoring with 2 SAT students.My experience with teaching stems from not just an instructor's perspective, but also as a student; attending after school tutoring from the age of 13 to 17 years old. I believe this is one of the reasons I can connect to students so easily, because I understand the difficulties with learning. My tutoring sessions involve a very interactive approach on the part of the student with a reward based approach for their efforts. This is my way of promoting student interest in the topics of study, to prevent monotony and boredom with school work. I like to try to incorporate games into my tutoring sessions that may include topics they have learned; whether it's a memory card game, jeopardy, or a simple game of hangman.As your tutor, I will do my best to not only help your student excel at school, but also find fun in learning.

I am excited and ready to help your student with reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar, and/or literature study. For more than twelve years I taught English and language arts in grades 6 through 12 in public school and independent school. I prepared for teaching with an undergraduate degree in English from Georgetown University and a Masters in Arts from Boston University, focusing on English Secondary Education. Most recently, I taught sixth and seventh graders for five years at a local, prestigious independent school. Being a classroom teacher was extremely challenging and exciting, but I always wanted to have more time to work individually with students because they improve so much with that kind of personalized attention.I have lived and breathed improving students' reading, writing, and thinking for half of my life. What I have learned is that there is no one right way to teach all students. Everyone learns differently. Different methods, different materials, and different experiences capture young people's imaginations and can help them master the skills and materials. My teaching experience working with hundreds of students will enable me to do what is best for your student. I have children myself, and I know that personality plays a huge role in how we learn. I am excited to be a coach and cheerleader for your student to help him or her succeed.
