Vocabulary

Vocabulary development is essential for SAT success, as well as improved reading comprehension and written expression at the school and college level.

To learn vocabulary is to learn the building block of language, the words and phrases which English provides to communicate shades of meaning.

Vocabulary improvement requires some effort on the part of the student. However, the good news is that any improvement will contribute to a student's improvement in other subjects. My... Read More

Microsoft Excel

MS-Excel is a versatile data handling tool which, while associated with mathematical calculations also has uses in data management of non-numeric types.

At the heart of Excel are a series of features and algorithms which, when well selected and used, will enable the user to produce more professional materials of all sorts.

At the student's request, classes can be tailored to cover:
- Setting up a file - look & feel
- Exploiting the multi-worksheet Excel FileRead More

European History

European History, for many Americans, is the history of foreign countries which are little known. But for the student of international relations, global history or world politics, European history is the 'missing link' that helps explain the present world and current events.

European history can comprise studies from the first conceptualization of Europe as an entity, to the present day. Therefore classes will be customized to the time span and geographic region specified by the student...

French

To speak another language is to possess another soul. To speak, read and write French is to possess a very different soul from that of the average American.

The goal of tutoring in French is to help the student feel at ease:
- Reading French language from a variety of sources - novels, poetry, newspapers, magazines
- Expressing him or herself more fluently with written French, including written responses to questions, answering questions requiring comprehension of French text,... Read More

Microsoft PowerPoint

Of all the Microsoft Office Tools, PowerPoint is one of the most powerful in terms of communications potential.

PowerPoint provides a graphic framework in which to showcase Microsoft Word, graphic images and outputs from other software including Excel, Paint, Adobe and others.

My PowerPoint tutoring is targeted from beginner level on up: from middle school homework to presentations to the senior managers in a company, I will help each student make his points most effectively... Read More

Latin

Latin is not only one of the most widely taught ancient languages, it has also influenced the evolution of much vocabulary in English and other languages.

Latin language tutoring can include, at the student's request:
- Latin grammar, translations into and out of Latin
- Study of Latin texts from classic authors including speeches, histories, drama and poetry

Reading

English reading is a basic building block of comprehension and expression. Elementary reading tutoring will be designed to cover the student's key needs:
- Basic vocabulary
- Sentence structure
- Composition of essays
- Comprehension of text and Q & A

Writing

The art of writing is one of the most critical elements of communication, without which we are stranded emotionally, intellectually and in every other way.

The art of writing comprises:
- An understanding of what it is you want to express.
- a recognition of the need for exposition, or arguing your point of view.
- An awareness of the best strategy for expressing your viewpoint
- An acknowledgment of your intended audience, and the best way to "reach" them.
-... Read More

Literature

English literature is a rich mine of plots and unforgettable characters, made real to us by authors over the centuries.
Mastering literature requires that the student immerse him or her self in the text, taking into account the author's time and particular context.
MY Literature tutoring includes review of the text, analysis of the author's intentions and use of language, comparison with the author's other titles, and familiarity with the set texts.

Economics

Of all the social sciences, Economics is perhaps the most maligned, being referred to as the 'dismal science'. Yet economics, which is indelibly linked to politics, sociology, technology and law, is the only social science which tries to build a comprehensive model of how societies function in the real world, and why.

The classic division in economics is between macro economics, the 'big picture' and micro economics, which analyzes and proposes theories at the transactional level. Certain... Read More

SAT Reading

The challenges of SAT Reading can be summarized:
- Comprehension of complex pieces of text - and the questions asked about them.
- The ability to analyze advanced questions involving superior knowledge of English vocabulary and punctuation

SAT Reading tutoring will bring students the self-confidence to do both these things, within the time constraints of an exam situation.
I concentrate on evaluating and addressing the student's issues with targeted classes and assignments...

SAT Writing

The challenges of SAT Writing can be summarized:
- The ability to understand complex questions about text and to analyze their intent.
- The ability to comprehend the multiple answer choices so as to select the closest correct answer.

SAT Writing tutoring will provide students the tools to do both these things, within the time constraints of an exam situation.
I concentrate on evaluating and addressing the student's issues with targeted classes and assignments.

Spelling

The challenges of SPELLING can be summarized:
- A broad awareness of English vocabulary must be achieved in order to recognize words in their correct and incorrect versions.
- Where the questions revolve around use of language, the student must be confident in his/her understanding of what the target words mean.
- Where there are words that are spelled similarly, the student must be able to analyze shades of meaning that distinguish words from each other so as to select the correct... Read More

Art History

I have made a life-long study of European, US, Middle Eastern and World History of Art, including sub-areas in architecture, classical antiquities, and ceramics. I have successfully tutored students in these areas to Grade 5 standard in the AP Art History exam. I do not however have academic credentials in these areas.

Microsoft Outlook

Microsoft Outlook is the most popular, and has become the standard package used by corporations to manage their email, calendar and other functions. My credentials to teach MS Outlook include extensive MS-Office training, and 5 plus years of active hands-on use for corporations including top 2 banks, 2 top manufacturers and multiple life sciences companies.
