I love to motivate students, especially those who have lost confidence in their ability. My greatest challenges and successes in tutoring have been with students who feel they are "behind" in a subject. These students often lack the belief that they will learn, even if they work hard. They need to find evidence of success that they can then use to motivate themselves. My job as tutor is to reinforce any and all progress so these students can begin to see themselves in a new way, as a success in school. My upbeat personality, knowledge of learning, role modeling and gentle guidance has enabled me to help many students go beyond their wildest dreams in the last 6 years. Working with struggling students of all ages has taught me how important it is to possess patience, a sense of humor and the ability to instill a belief in students that they can and will succeed.

I have tutored all levels from 6th through 12th grade for the past 6 years and am a Connecticut certified teacher. I have worked with great success in the Norwalk and Westport public schools and offer you particular skill in addressing needs of students with low co

I am a Connecticut certified teacher and have taught and tutored algebra for the past six years. At Bedford Middle School I successfully taught 6th, 7th, and 8th graders algebra and math study skills. I have also tutored high school students in algebra 1 for the past 6 years. One of my strengths is that I can always find another way to explain math concepts if my student is having trouble with the way I explain something. Because math is concrete and conceptual at the same time, there are many ways to delve into concepts of algebra, thus many ways to trigger understanding.

Excellent and engaging tutor

Eve did an excellent job working with my daughter to improve her writing and grammar skills this summer. She is very thorough and patient. She also has a fun personality and relates well to teens. My daughter looked forward to her sessions with Eve and definitely got a lot out of the sessions!

Cristina, 7 lessons with Eve

Knowledgeable

She is extremely knowledgeable and patient. She relates well to her students, knows how to keep them engaged and challenged. I know she will expect me to keep up with my homework and studying but also trust that she can help with anything I don’t understand. It was a great first session.

Khalilah , 2 lessons with Eve

Excellent and Patient Tutor

Eve is a very knowledgeable tutor overall. I came to her needing help with the Praxis 2 5002 subtest (Reading and Language). We worked together everyday up until the day I scheduled to take my test. The sessions typically were about an hour, but if I needed more than that time, she happily obliged. We worked on multiple practice test questions and she made sure I understood why I got a question incorrect. She is huge on making sure the student (myself) understands the concept of a question before moving on to the next. Eve has a great personality and is easy to talk to. She definitely wants to help all students succeed. I give her 5 stars!! - Emily, 8 Lessons

Emily, 4 lessons with Eve

Excellent

Goes above and beyond. She researched my needs before she reached out to me which showed me that she is ready to teach. She also listened to my needs. I highly recommend her.

WOAH

Eve is a GODSEND. I needed someone to take a final look for my grad school statement essays and found her at the last minute. She's not only caring, but she sees what you can bring to the table and enhances your voice. She took her time to speak to me on the phone and together, we made a game plan on how to accomplish what I wanted in the next few days (which was a lot). Communicating with her was super easy despite the fact that we were tutoring via internet. By the end of our final tutoring session, I had this confidence about my grad school application that I didn't have previously. It no longer mattered to me if I got in the school or not, because the essay Eve and I created together was able to accurately portray who I am. I highly recommend Eve. I look forward to working with her again and recommend her to my peers who need writing assistance!

A+ for my tutor, Eve

Eve has the gift of being able to turn a tough subject into a fun learning process. I thoroughly enjoy working with her and eagerly look forward to every session.

Patient and knowledgeable

My son said that Eve breaks down the problems to his level. Was very nervous about online tutoring but it seems to be working using FaceTime. Hopefully he gets these ASVAB math problems so he can pass the test

Very helpful tutor

Eve helped me with economics for my Praxis II exam. She gave me practice tests and helped me concentrate on how to properly answer questions on the Praxis exam which can be confusing and stressful. She was very open with scheduling and made time for me when I needed it!

Highly highly recommend

My son has had Eve help him with SAT tutoring (English and math) and his college application essay. She was amazing, and that is not an exaggeration. My son has a strong personality sometimes when it comes to being taught and she was patient and always listened to him. She always showed him respect. She split the SAT time so he got attention on the sections he needed help with the most. Once he finished with the SAT lessons she began with the essay. What impressed me the most was she guided him, listened to him, and pushed him, but never forced anything. Even though she would recommend what should be said, it always is written in his voice. Her voice and opinion are not noticable, all you read is my sons voice. You will not be disappointed!

Excellent Tutor

Eve is extremely knowledgeable and patient. She listens and helps formulate a game plan. She has an intuitive sense in terms of her approach to my daughter and the material. They have made tremendous progress in the months that they have worked together. My daughter was not thrilled when I first introduced the idea of finding a math tutor. The first few visits she was skeptical. After that, she began to ask me when Eve was coming again! I never hear any complaints anymore. My daughter will be ready to tackle pre-algebra in 7th grade!
