Award-Winning Tutors from Wesleyan University

My name is Howe. I graduated from Wesleyan University in May, and I recently moved from New York to West Philly, where I am very excited to be working with Varsity Tutors. I love being able to work with students in a one-on-one setting; for students to truly grasp difficult concepts, they must be able to discuss the material freely with their teacher, which is rarely possible in a classroom setting. For writing especially, one-on-one tutoring is essential to developing one's skills. As a Varsity Tutor, I hope to not only strengthen students' writing and academic performance, but also make them feel more confident in their ability to learn.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received a Bachelors of Arts in Biology and Music in the spring of 2015. Since graduation, I have participated in science research internships while also preparing to take the GRE and attend a doctoral program in the biological sciences. In the summer of 2015, I participated in behavioral research on chimpanzees, and am now assisting with the skeletal archives at the American Museum of Natural History. I have had experience teaching as a peer mentor for college students in Introductory Biology, as a camp counselor at the Central Park Zoo, and as a tap dance instructor.My academic strengths are science, social sciences, music, and SAT preparation. I loved my time in primary and secondary school and hope to instill my excitement for learning 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."

I'm Katherine, a recent graduate with a Biology and European Literature/Philosophy degree. I'm passionate about helping you meet your goals through personalized tutoring strategies.

I am passionate about taking the stress out of science (and maybe even make it fun)! I break down complex topics into clear steps and focus on the "why" behind them, not just memorizing the facts. With a background in molecular biology and research, I've learned how to explain tough topics in a ways that makes sense. I would love to help you feel confident, whether you're catching up, getting ahead, or aiming to ace your next test. I look forward to working with you :)

Hi there! My name is Rachel and I am a writer, art educator, and community event planner. I recently graduated with a B.A. in African American Studies from Wesleyan University, with a concentration in Literature and Performance.Writing and reading are more than hobbies for me. They are my passions, as well as lenses through which I learn more about myself and the world. Getting to teach other people the skills necessary to have enriching experiences with literature is an amazing opportunity to me. I do not take it for granted.During my college years, I started off as an English tutor for middle school-aged children. Within my first year of college, I became one of four student coordinators for a local afterschool program. I was in charge of developing weekly curriculum for students aged 4-14, preparing different plans-of-action for students to tackle reading comprehension and writing skills and topics. While I was sad to graduate and pass leadership of the program over, I was overjoyed to have spent such a long time doing what I love in a community that I adored.I am excited to be a part of the Varsity Tutors Team! Please view the subjects in which I have experience tutoring. I look forward to working with students and families of all backgrounds in order to help make the literary arts more than just "words on a page."

Learning improves your life. I have never been disappointed with having gained knowledge. I have found this truth to improve my circumstances in my professional and personal life. Sharing our knowledge is one of the greatest gifts we can give for individuals and for society as a whole. I seek to bring a joy and light-heartedness to learning that will encourage the student to overcome and perceived weaknesses and build confidence in their ability to learn on their own.

After many years in the computer industry, I recently decided to enrich my life by returning to one of the favorite things Ive enjoyed doing in my life teaching. I completed my undergraduate studies at Franklin and Marshall College. Upon obtaining my graduate degree (M.A.) in mathematics from Wesleyan University, I spent three years teaching math at a private high school in Stamford, CT before going to work in the private sector for IBM. Eventually I left IBM and started my own company in the computer leasing industry. Even though throughout my career I have been in mostly sales positions, I found that my teaching background proved invaluable when explaining to my clients how new technologies could benefit their organizations.I think my real world experience and my love of math, can bring a unique perspective to a student who, for whatever reason, is looking to improve his or her math skills. Whether you are struggling to grasp new concepts or looking to deepen your understanding of what you are being taught, I can help you. My approach to making math understandable is to explain many different examples to help you build confidence in your abilities and use real life applications wherever possible to keep it interesting.When Im not working I enjoy cycling, downhill and x-c skiing, hiking, and skating.

I am currently pursuing my Masters in Public Health at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. I received my B.A. in Psychology and Environmental Studies at Wesleyan University. In high school, I was selected by my teachers to tutor classmates in Chemistry, Physics, and Geometry. I helped students with homework problems and with test preparation (both for in-class exams and for the SAT Subject Tests). As an undergraduate, I was a teaching assistant for introductory Russian, and worked with students both in group and in individual sessions.My academic background is varied, and thus I am able to tutor students in a range of topics, including Environmental Science, Biology, Psychology, Statistics, French, Russian, English Language and Literature, and exam preparation (SAT, ACT, AP and GRE). My favorite topics to tutor in are Biology and Environmental Science, since I love sharing my interest in the science and using it to help students better understand and enjoy these exciting fields.My teaching philosophy is best summarized as "show not tell" -- I find that guiding students such that they can arrive at the answers themselves, rather than just explaining the problem, helps them fully realize their potential for success. When I'm not learning or teaching, I spend my time reading, running and baking.

I graduated from Wesleyan University in 2013 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in French Studies and College of Letters (a multi-disciplinary program that includes English, history and philosophy). I wrote my senior honors thesis on the 1980 Berber Spring in Algeria and 2011 Libyan Revolution. During a semester abroad in Paris, I tutored elementary school children as an English language assistant. While at Wesleyan, I also worked as an ESL instructor, tutoring a Moroccan immigrant and helping him to gain citizenship and employment. Education has given me the opportunity to find what I am passionate about, and I hope to help others gain that same opportunity through tutoring. I tutor in English, French, and standardized tests, and especially enjoy helping students think about subjects creatively and from new angles. My largest interest, outside of education, is music. I worked throughout college as a music director at Wesleyan's radio station, and currently work as a producer and staff writer for Afropop Worldwide, a non-profit radio show dedicated to African music and music of the African diaspora. I also love watching independent films and reading fiction and philosophy. I love living in Brooklyn, but I enjoy leaving the city to go hiking, and I bike throughout the city as much as possible.

Proud to say I have begun tutoring through Varsity Tutors. I am a recent college grad who loves teaching and working with students and hopes to give people the wonderful collegiate experience that I have received at Wesleyan University. In my spare time I love to run and am currently training for a marathon. I'm also a passionate visual and auditory learner so I love to see shows, listen to music, and watch movies, all of which help keep me creative and happy!

I believe in winning because there is nothing like building up from scratch; you are part of the story. Are you new to the world of technology, and are you still wondering if it will be a great choice for your career pursuit? Don't worry; book a one-on-one session with me and see for yourself.

The best part of teaching is when my student "gets" something, and the light bulb turns on. I teach you how to do something - writing, test-taking, study skills - so you can do it on your own in the future.

I am a rising senior at Wesleyan University pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree in Government and Latin American Studies. I have extensive experience with Spanish-language coursework and tutoring: I spent a semester one-on-one tutoring a high school student in beginning Spanish, have taken countless university-level Spanish classes, have taken both the Language and Literature AP Spanish tests, and have traveled and lived abroad in Spanish-speaking countries.I also have experience tutoring elementary math; I spent an entire summer creating and teaching an original curriculum of basic skills math classes to high school students. I also took the SAT fairly recently and would love to pass my expertise on to any high school student preparing to take the test soon! My teaching style/philosophy is visual and practice-based. I always tailor my sessions to the the student's specific needs but I love to incorporate interactive activities and many practice problems.

I'm an older fella, having spent over 30 years in the banking industry. But in my present life as a professional tutor, I work closely with young people (elementary school, middle school, high school, and university students) to overcome academic and learning difficulties, and experience with them the satisfaction of good results.I've come to learn some important things about tutoring; that:* Effective tutoring is usually as much about mentoring as it is about teaching.* There should be no limits to the creativity that the tutor is prepared to bring to the table in helping a student (going beyond the presentation of black letters or numbers on a white page).* In addition to solidifying basic skills, it's critically important to build up a student's creativity, confidence, and resilience, in moving toward the ultimate goals of enhancing the student's original thinking and capacity for independent learning.* Above all, patience is the greatest virtue.I look forward to the opportunity to work closely with my students at Varsity Tutors and help them to reach their fullest potential.

I have tutored high school students in math and science for the past four years, and have spent the past year tutoring in organic chemistry. I have worked as teaching assistant for various professors and have assisted college students develop productive studying strategies. I am all too familiar with how difficult organic chemistry is, but I am the rare person who actually loves the subject, and have been exposed to organic chemistry in the classroom and in the laboratory. I am very passionate about science and want to help others enjoy the subjects as much as I do :)Education:Wesleyan University, CT 2018Majors: Neuroscience and Psychology

Hi there! I'm Tom, and I'm a junior in the College of East Asian Studies at Wesleyan University. I spent the fall semester abroad in Hangzhou at the Middlebury School in China, and have been taking Mandarin since middle school. Whether you're looking for extra practice for school or want to brush up before a trip, or maybe even just want a conversation partner, I'm here to help!

I received a BA in English Literature from Wesleyan University, a small liberal arts college in Middletown, CT. After earning my degree last May, I moved to Pittsburgh in September to do a year of volunteer service work for a local nonprofit. I've been enjoying exploring my new city, and I've loved all the people I've met here. In true liberal arts fashion, I have taken courses across a diverse range of disciplines, earning a Certificate in International Relations for completing courses across the government, history, economics, Spanish, and religion departments. Throughout my college years, I worked in multiple tutor rolesas a teaching intern for a philosophy and history course, as a volunteer tutor at a local middle school, and as a writing tutor for all levels of college students, including four senior thesis writers. My favorite part of tutoring is getting to know my students as people, learning about what gets my students excited about learning and hearing about my students' successes and failures, academically and otherwise. As a recent college grad myself, I have always experienced huge satisfaction when my studies finally click. I love seeing my students experience a breakthroughthat moment when a lightbulb goes off and I can see my student visibly start to make sense of the work.

I always did well in school but rarely played by the book. This seems to be a theme in my life, refusing to accept the world just as it is presented to me. I am a kind of person who tends to make life harder on themselves because I cannot seem to bend my will to fit the mainstream. In academic settings my visual learning disability necessitated that I find success in creative outlets and work more closely with my teachers (I was always doing alternative projects that could demonstrate my knowledge of the material). Another example might be my gender, which I have found over the past several years to be neither male nor female (talk about uninterrogated mainstreams). I have found tremendous joy, peace of mind, and perhaps even success in accepting these way of being and adapting to embrace them.I went to a performing arts High school where I studied theater, Music and all the regular requirements. I have been fluent in Spanish since age 10 thanks to my Cuban father's efforts in assimilating my brother and I. Toward the end of high school I was mostly taking classes at Amherst College and volunteering as a teaching assistant for the pre-GED class at an adult basic education center. I spent one spring at a Quaker semester program in California. I was raised Quaker and as such many of the most important experiences in my life have been facilitated through Quaker programs. I was very lucky after High School (as we know college admittance is a crap shoot)to be accepted early decision to Wesleyan University, where I continued to pursue Theater as a playwright. In college I was a tutor for creative non-fiction classes. I also gained a lot of experience workshopping various written forms in group and one on one settings. As a writer I have learned that good writing is mostly about editing and revising. I have come to love helping others through the sometimes heart breaking process of uncovering what they were really meaning to say. It is so important to have another set of eyes seeing what you may be too close to your writing to see.learning well is about knowing oneself. You have to trust your gut in order to learn about what you need to engaged with a subject. Learning is not easy. It is not a science. Sometime there will be things that just won't stick in your head. But you can have support and someone to keep you on track and keep you motivated.

I teach all types of writing. My students range from high school students writing course papers and essays to university students composing research papers and dissertations to adults engaged in self-study with creative writing. Some of my creative writing courses are "The Courage to Write Poetry Workshop" and "Writing My Multicultural Voice." I earned my PhD and MS degree from Cornell University; my BA is from Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT.

I graduated from Amherst College with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics in 2009, and from Wesleyan University with a Masters of Arts Liberal Studies with a concentration in Mathematics in 2018. While at Amherst I spent a semester abroad at the University of Edinburgh. I also attended Columbia Teachers College's Klingenstein Summer Institute in the summer of 2012. I've been teaching professionally since I graduated from college--first at a charter school, then at a boarding school, and now at an independent day school--but my teaching experience started in childhood, when I helped my four younger siblings with their homework. I've taught English and History before, but now I'm a full-time math teacher, and I teach everything from Algebra to Geometry to PreCalculus to Calc, and I've worked with students at the honors, college prep and fundamentals levels. My students appreciate my energy, positivity, and love of math, and they know how much I care about them. In addition to teaching, I am also a high school varsity coach with a record of success in football and lacrosse.

I'm a recent grad from Wesleyan University, where I've worked as a tutor, a teaching assistant, and a researcher. I've taught middle-schoolers how to program their own video games, interviewed monks in Minnesota, studied Dante under a world-class expert in Bologna, and edited transcripts on the history of philosophy since 300 BCE. I can proofread essays, perform long division, translate difficult texts, and find the derivative.Prior to the outbreak of COVID-19, my plans were to attend Columbia's School of Social Work, where I was hoping to counsel foster youth. Unfortunately, I've had to defer my enrollment to Columbia, but I'm still just as passionate about education and child welfare as ever. My goal as a tutor is to share with my students an excitement for learning, as well as a sense of wonder for the infinite potential of the written word.

I received my BA from Wesleyan University in 2020 with Honors in Philosophy and Phi Beta Kappa. I spent one year abroad studying Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at Oxford University. Having met stages one and two of Wesleyan's general education requirements, I have excelled in humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences so am able to provide assistance in a wide variety of subjects.Having peer-reviewed many papers in university, I am especially adept at workshopping essays in various departments (including philosophy, literature, psychology, history, and sociology). I also have experience tutoring high school math (geometry, algebra, pre-calculus) and am willing to tutor younger students as well.I am highly adaptable to the needs of the student and am quite good at adapting my style and vocabulary to who I am interacting with. Ultimately, my goal is to have the student be able to teach the material to me in a cogent manner. I accomplish this in part by asking the right questions rather than simply giving answers. I have experience working with non-native English speakers so have grown accustomed to speaking in ways that others can understand.Outside of academia I enjoy reading books, watching films, singing, playing the piano and guitar, getting exercise, and going to Maine. My passions are acting and Russian literature.

Learning is not only about sharing knowledge, it is about implementing and cultivating intellectual curiosity which cements the fundamental pillars for long-term success and sustained autonomous learning.Having studied at different schools in France, Spain, Italy, and the US, I have developed a multinational sense and universality which has allowed me to absorb four languages proficiently. Additionally, attending a Military School in the US allowed me to develop the necessary discipline and character to assume the responsibility of teaching. I am a true believer in leading by example, and it is a fundamental principle in my courses.I am eager to help and excited to climb the mountain of learning with you!

Hello! I'm Eli, and I'd love to help you prepare for the MCAT or learn biological and chemical subjects. I'm currently taking a few gap years between college and medical school, and with my experiences as a lab manager of a neuroscience lab and as a practicing EMT I can help you boost your MCAT or ace your tough classes!

I love science because I love the thought process that goes into it. I currently work as a biology professor, and my favorite part of my job is helping students make connections with the class material. I believe that learning to think critically about the world has applications far beyond the classroom, and watching students learn to evaluate claims and think deeply about a topic is very rewarding.My goals are to help anyone who wants to learn, and to help students love science as much as I do. I emphasize mostly concept and problem based learning, rather than route memorization. Memorization is often a necessary first step to learning a topic, but mastering a concept allows students to work through problems they haven't seen before.

My name is Coey and I am a senior at Wesleyan University, a liberal arts college in Middletown, Connecticut. I major in Psychology and hold a Cultural Psychology Concentration certification and a minor degree in Economics. I am also the incoming Lab Manager at the Sidanius Lab.I am an active student researcher and have done research on topics including prejudice, punishment, and minority leadership, to name a few. I love teaching and using my knowledge to help others. I have tutored individual college students (18-20) and middle schoolers (12-14) and also served as a Teaching Apprentice for a 150-person college-level psychology course.When I am not teaching or working on research, you will find me taking a walk in the woods or binge-watching "House M.D." or "A Bit of Fry and Laurie"

Hello! I am a rising 1L at the University of Chicago Law School with a background tutoring students from 5th grade through undergrad. As an undergraduate, I attended Wesleyan University where I studied religious studies, philosophy, European history, and theoretical economics. While there, I won honors for my writing and research.For students interested in improving their writing, I work with all age groups to cultivate an ear for rhythm, an eye for detail, a mind for research--and a stomach for revision, revision, revision.For the LSAT, we will come up with a plan for preparing that is customized to your schedule and goals. This plan will likely include daily drilling with real LSAT problems, supplemented by book reading and practice tests. During our sessions that target logical reasoning sections, we will focus on argument structure. We will work on identifying conclusions, premises, and assumptions in arguments, as well as how to use these skills to answer necessary and sufficient assumption questions. For analytical reasoning (logic games), we will break down the three most common types of games and focus on maintaining accuracy while building solving speed. Finally, for reading comprehension, we will work together to come up with an approach that emphasizes your strengths (like reading quickly, remembering details, annotating effectively) to move towards a higher score.I am looking forward to meeting you!

Empowering children to comprehend the foundational understanding and skills that they will apply for the remainder of their lives is a delightful reward. Valuable education is, in my belief, the most important thing we can convey to the adolescent generation. I am very motivated to train young thinkers to learn more about the academic world by introducing them to Mathematics. Equivalently important is to communicate life skills, including treating others with reverence, working in groups, and learning how to become a leader. I was first inspired to pursue tutoring while in high school. My history teacher approached me with an opportunity to both tutor and mentor a young male student. From this experience, I realized the power we possess as tutors. I worked with this student for the remainder of my high school years, watching him grow into a young adult.Since this experience, I have volunteered at The Boys and Girls Club while attending college. This has given me more experience with group tutoring and working with older teens in high school. This permitted me to understand the importance of how every student is unique in the method they comprehend material. To encourage pupils in their learning I have devised some games and tactics to encourage better command of information.I feel that my advanced degree would be relevant; not only is it an academically tough subject, but it enabled me to develop many transferable skills, including the ability to interpret and explain complex information, undertake research and mathematic evaluation, and develop confident written and oral communication skills and excellent attention to detail.My outside interests include music, reading, and sports. Friends and family tell me I am compassionate, thoughtful and dynamic. As an introspective and fervent individual, I am devoted to enabling young minds to develop and achieve their desired goals.

I recently graduated from Wesleyan University with a degree in Neuroscience, and I'm hoping to eventually become a doctor. As a self-described science nerd, I'm fascinated by the intricacies of how the world around us works, and I think that is infectious to my students. One of my favorite subjects to tutor is Biology because it explains how we ourselves function. My enthusiasm has helped me make science and math engaging and accessible to the students I work with. My experience includes teaching middle school, high school, and college students in both subject specific review and test preparation. I have an approach that is centered around finding the root cause of a students struggles, be it misunderstanding of content, time management, or any other reason, and offering multiple specifically-tailored methods for the student to employ before settling on what works best for them. I aim for my clients to improve as overall students as well, so that they can be successful in the face of any future academic challenges.Aside from my teaching and academic pursuits, my favorite hobbies are playing music and cooking. I play the bass and sitar in any style from Indian classical music to Top 40 Taylor Swift hits. In the kitchen, I love to take a scientific approach to cooking, understanding the chemical reactions underlying why one dinner tasted delicious while another fell flat.

Fourteen years ago, I accidentally became a teacher and fell in love with the work. Since that time, I've worked with just about every age group and helped all kinds of people to read, write, hear, and speak English. More recently, I've made a switch to teaching pre-schoolers, which means that now I'm also helping people learn to count, sing, breathe deeply, hold a pencil, treat others kindly, and all sorts of other new things.If I had to summarize what I've learned so far from all of these teaching experiences, I'd boil it down to this: A good attitude accounts for at least 75% of learning. If you feel you can learn it, and you're not afraid of making some mistakes along the way, then you will ultimately learn it. Whom I have encountered regrettably often, however, are students who don't feel that way. So a major part of my work is not only to make the learning easier, but also to demonstrate to a student how far he or she has already progressed along the journey. It's easy to see where we need improvement; ironically, it can be much harder to be able to take stock of our success. But the balance is critical—sometimes I feel that if I can just help a person improve their self-confidence, then the rest will practically take care of itself.As far as my own motivation is concerned, it's as simple as this: I like people, and I like getting to know what makes them tick. To me, teaching is no more or less than a process of getting to know somebody, as mediated by whatever learning goals are before us. If I can help you gain a skill or attain to an achievement, it's because I learned enough about how you think and work to help guide you there. Learning about who students are is its own reward for me; after all, how can people not be fascinating?In my free time, I like to keep things pretty quiet. My favorite thing to do is to make music, and you can listen to the results on my SoundCloud page. I've been a keyboard player since age 5, and a self-taught guitarist since 15. Another avid habit of mind is to practice mindfulness meditation; this is something I was more or less driven to as a result of my years in the public schools, which are environments where it's really really hard to pay attention. In the past few years, I've started sharing what I've learned with others as a mindfulness coach, and it's very gratifying to see people make leaps and bounds in their attentional skills within weeks or months that it's taken me years to see in my own practice. More information about this can be found on my website, equanimizer.com.Thank you for reading. I am looking forward to helping you meet your challenges!

I am currently an undergraduate student at Wesleyan University and am majoring in molecular biology and biochemistry. At Wesleyan, I've been a member of the Science Outreach program, where we teach scientific concepts to students at local elementary schools. This experience has been extremely rewarding and has made me interested in helping other students as well.

I am a recent Wesleyan University graduate who is passionate about education. I majored in theater and psychology, which both emphasize connecting with other people. This skill is also essential in tutoring. My mother is Argentine and my father is from the United States, and I am fluent in Spanish and English. Having parents from two different countries has also ensured I am comfortable around different cultures and types of people. I'm excited to work with you and your families! Let me know if you have any other questions.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University with a Bachelor's degree in chemistry. While in college I worked as a tutor and teaching assistant for first year chemistry, holding weekly sessions where I went over homework and tests. After college I worked for two years at an after-school enrichment program where I again tutored and taught classes in chemistry, math, as well as SAT and ACT prep courses. I have always enjoyed teaching in one form or another, whether it be for academic subjects, music lessons, drawing or martial arts.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

From October 2009 through August 2014, I worked as a tutor (20+ hours per week) with a highly respected tutoring company. I tutored students of all ages in the areas of reading, writing, and math. I also prepared students for the SAT and ISEE. In September 2013, I started my own business doing private tutoring. I have continued to work with students of all ages in the areas of reading, writing, and math, and I have continued to prepare students for the SAT and ISEE. In general, about half of my students are doing test preparation and half are getting some kind of help with school. At the tutoring center where I worked, we had a number of students who were being tutored in order to become very advanced in their studies at school and to gain admission to highly selective colleges by getting top-notch scores on their SAT. We also had students who were struggling to do well in their classes and therefore needed help with their homework and with understanding the material they were learning in school. I worked successfully with both kinds of students. My approach to tutoring is definitely gentle, but also firm in terms of expecting my students to work hard during the tutoring sessions and to work diligently on any homework I might assign. I am sensitive to the learning styles of my students and do everything I can to communicate in a way that makes sense to them. I often make use of visuals and manipulatives in teaching various concepts. My goal is to enable students to really understand the material they are studying. I am happy to use whatever school or other materials that parents and/or students would like. I am also prepared to suggest additional materials that might be helpful for a particular student in a specific subject area. I am familiar with a number of very helpful resources. Before working at the tutoring center, I was actively involved in the homeschooling community. I homeschooled my older two children through high school and my younger two children through 8th grade. I also taught enrichment classes in the areas of math, science, music, and art to students of all ages in a homeschool co-op, for a total of eight years.

As a writer and theater director, I believe so much of learning is telling stories: finding patterns, understanding trends, re-telling and repetition of concepts. Writing, grammar, and reading comprehension is my strong suit, and I love helping students to see the stories I see.

I am a native speaker of French who grew up in a French Caribbean household in New York City. I am passionate about all areas of the Francophone world, but I love discussing with my students French literature and music especially. I have been teaching French in some of the best independent schools in the country for the past six years at the middle and high school level. I have also tutored French to students privately at the middle and high school levels. I received my bachelor's degree at Wesleyan University and my master's degree at Middlebury College. I am currently working towards a second masters from New York University. I enjoy tutoring French because I love empowering students and teaching them the beauty of the language that I grew up with and know very well ! I teach using comprehensible input (music, stories, and different multimedia sources) that have my students speaking and practicing from the very first lesson. I look forward to meeting and working with you !

Hi! I'm a recent graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor's of Arts in European Studies, with a focus on history, literature and philosophy, specifically 20th century history and colonial studies. I also spent a semester abroad in France and went on to work there for several months. Since graduation, I have traveled extensively throughout Europe and am currently working several part-time jobs in New Haven with hopes of pursuing a career in urban development. I am passionate about learning and helping others realize their full potential!

I have experience in IB high school physics as well as other science courses. I studied physics in college as well as during pre medical studies. I hope I can help you do better in your physics pursuits whatever they may be. Thank you for taking the time to read.

I'm a clinical psychologist recently out of grad school. I'm passionate about teaching, test prep, and coaching. I look forward to working with you.
