Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Cranston, RI

...learning, but hating feeling unsuccessful. After studying and graduating with a B.S. in Elementary and Special Education, I am now on the other side of things, with a great realization of just how much is being asked of students. With high-stakes testing, high standards of expectations, and sometimes large class sizes, it's no wonder some students find themselves missing bits and pieces of information that they need to do their best. As a teacher in...

I believe students do best when in a calm, encouraging atmosphere. I never...

...on animal behavior. For four years, I played varsity soccer and tutored many students in a variety of subjects - algebra, calculus, psychology, physiology, physics, biology, and statistics.

I have spent the last two years out of school managing an organic farm and directing product and...

...topics come from as sufficiently as possible, how and why certain techniques work, and applying all of this to specific examples of varying difficulty. I emphasize gaining an understanding as to why skills and techniques work and how they are useful. This emphasis makes it easier for students to tackle novel problems and retain their knowledge. For physics I tutor in basic physics, the SAT subject test in physics, and AP Physics 1,2& C. For...

...challenge out there (in my opinion) is education. Education is the pathway to intellectual curiosity which hopefully can continue to define more and more people. Seeking to understand is what makes us human after all. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy curling up by the fire with a good book and a cat, watching and talking about TV or movies, Boston sports, science-fiction, anime, running, cooking and eating food, and, of course, long walks on the...
