Toni
Toni, a tutor equally at home in Humanities and Sciences.
Not so long ago the goal of education was to shape the thinking of younger generations so that, with solid background knowledge, they could, in turn, add wisdom to the common store. Since reasoning, interpretative, and problem solving skills are needed across the spectrum, different disciplines were interwoven and 'classics' -that is, the common pool of knowledge that had proved valuable and fertile over time- highly respected and heavily studied. All that has changed, in a misguided effort ... Read more
Daryl
Experienced educator committed to your child's success!
Hello! I'm Mr. C! As a student who struggled myself, I am fully aware of the importance of building relationships and connecting with people or in this case, tutoring students! All students need someone that believes in them and can provide what they need to do better. I have been an educator for over 20 years and am passionate about student learning. What I believe is most important about tutoring is finding out the specific needs of students, developing goals with them and the... Read more

Ysidore
Award-winning, recently retired teacher/tutor
I have tutored and taught Latin and Ancient Greek to students from 6th grade to adulthood. I have completed all coursework and candidacy exams for a PhD. in Classics at Cornell University. While I was working on my dissertation on Plato's "Meno", I noticed that the area's outstanding academic school was searching for a replacement Latin teacher. I had always enjoyed working with students; I applied, got the job, and never looked back. I enjoyed the next 30 years teaching grades 6-12, from i... Read more

Susan
Communications Pro: From Presentations, Interviews & Polished Resumes
Giving presentations can be nerve-wracking, to say the least. 72% of people fear public speaking more than death. Schools recognize this and are helping students gain early experience. My eight-year-old daughter “presented†to her class and select parents. She was so nervous; her hands were shaking. She asked me afterward, “Did you see my hand moving the paper all by itself!†Hopefully, this early exposure will prepare the next generation for confident college and career presentations. And th...

David
Experienced music theory, keyboard skills, and music history professor
I have music theory degrees from McGill University and the Eastman School of Music, as well as a master's in organ performance from Houghton College. But it was only after I finished with music school that I started to (slowly) learn how to integrate the practical and theoretical, and I'm now an award-winning composer (Editor's Choice from J.W. Pepper) and performer (for classical organ improvisation in two competitions). I was definitely not a prodigy, and I think the techniques I had to... Read more
