If you are looking for someone to help you where others have failed, or if you just want the best, then I'm definitely your tutor. Key focus must be on the student overcoming any mental barriers he/she may have to understanding the subjects. I teach concepts first and test taking second. If you know the concepts, the test results follow, but test taking strategies are also emphasized. I specialize in college level courses but am willing to tutor the highly motivated college-bound high sch... Read more

I absolutely love working with students. I believe each student is unique. Every child learns in a different way, and I try my hardest to have them succeed in their own learning way. I plan to work with each student as an individual. Each and every student is unique in their learning styles. It is about adapting work to meet their style, to explain things in ways that will make sense. Children are our future and we need to prepare them :) I'm currently a certified special education (K-12),... Read more

Love to Enrich Student Writing/Reading Abilities and Enthusiasm
- $60 / h
- Darien , Connecticut ( 06820 )
- 20 miles
I've spent the past four years of college teaching as often as learning. I believe that a tutor or teacher can gain just as much as the student. We learn from each other! I have experience assisting creative writing workshops, photography classes, and tutoring young students in reading and writing. I love the trust and reassurance built through one-on-one guidance. Since I've concentrated in creative writing in the past, I think it's important for everyone to have their own voice when writ... Read more

Lady Noah knows that there are no prizes for predicting rain - prizes only for building Arks! She learned that from her husband, Noah. My goal in tutoring is the same as hers - to focus on solutions rather than problems. I look for unique solutions that will help each of my students achieve success and build confidence. I try to build a rapport starting with where they are and I use understanding, patience and humor to gain their trust. My unique executive and academic background help ... Read more

I specialize in one-on-one tutoring to help students read, write, and comprehend more effectively. I love working with students of all ages and levels to help boost their reading, writing, and comprehension skills--but more importantly, to teach them to be lifelong readers and learners in general. I worked at Lindamood Bell Learning Processes for two years, where I was trained to teach reading from the ground up: building an awareness of letter sounds, familiarizing students with common pr...
