About Stephanie


Bio

Hello,

I've got years of experience tutoring individuals professionally in mathematics and English composition. In fact, I've been a tutor on-and-off since I was in high school. I've worked both independently and through Dutchess Community College. I've dealt with elementary school, middle school, high school, college, and adult education students. I've also done work proofreading essays and original compositions. I've always found tutoring to be both enjoyable and rewarding. I love kids,...

Hello,

I've got years of experience tutoring individuals professionally in mathematics and English composition. In fact, I've been a tutor on-and-off since I was in high school. I've worked both independently and through Dutchess Community College. I've dealt with elementary school, middle school, high school, college, and adult education students. I've also done work proofreading essays and original compositions. I've always found tutoring to be both enjoyable and rewarding. I love kids, but get along equally well with people of any age.

My own interests lie particularly with Literature and History, though I've always done very well with Maths and Sciences (and that is where a significant chunk of my experience lies). I've even volunteered as a docent and given tours of a historically significant building while wearing period appropriate clothing. I'm a friendly, helpful, and patient tutor. I'm also looking forward to working with any new students who are interested in my services.

Algebra 1

I have been tutoring high school and college level math (including algebra) for over 12 years with wonderful results (i.e. raised grades and improved state test results). I have never had a student fail on my watch, regardless of how far behind they were when we started. I've tutored math both privately and through Dutchess Community College.

I've tutored ESL before, despite not having taken courses on how to learn to do so. My clients have always been satisfied.

I speak two languages myself (English and Italian). My references and resume are available upon request.

Reviews

Stephanie - patient, kind, informative tutor.

Qualifying the review: my youngest of three children (9th grade/home school) meets with Stephanie weekly for SAT prep and has done so for several months. My review is from the perspective of a long time wyzant user, having experienced many tutors, in many topics. Of those tutors only three were consistently recurrent, with Stephanie being one of them. Short and sweet: Stephanie is punctual, accommodating, forthright, reliable, professional, prepared, knowledgeable, communicative, kind and understanding. She is everything I would like a teacher to be for my daughter. More in depth: my daughter and I, are very pleased with the gains she has achieved while working with Stephanie. My daughter’s practice SAT/ACT scores have been going up as well as her confidence in her knowledge base. Stephanie and her kind/informative/consistent approach not only reinforces/refreshes older concepts but also introduces new concepts and she does so in a way that builds my daughter’s confidence and knowledge base. Stephanie is never frustrated or impatient if a concept was forgotten or needs further explanation (something many students face in school and tutoring sessions) which is IMPERATIVE for my daughter to gain confidence. Stephanie provides ‘homework’ to go over, she also accepts requests for help on material prior to a session. My daughter also has test anxiety that is diminishing through consistent practice and meetings. I 100 percent recommend Stephanie.

Knowledgeable, patient, & professional

Stephanie is excellent at breaking down Algebra 1 units for my daughter and patiently working with her to grasp challenging curriculum. Her lesson summary’s are well defined and helpful for both me as a parent and my daughter as a review aid.

Very knowledgeable

My daughter had a wonderful experience with Stephanie. SAT review process can be quite daunting hence finding the right tutor is critical. My daughter has worked twice now with Stephanie and all I hear is just the best experience.

Very detailed , patience and endurance with students . Excellent Teacher for SAT

Stephine is very detailed and well organized and well and clearly explain the concepts and example to the students. My son struggled some of the area and she looked specifically those areas and helped to improve his skills. After finishing every class she has provided summary which was really awesome and gives great idea what area needs to be focused and improved etc., I really appreciate her teaching skills and ability to explains well.

Awesome writing tutor!

Stephanie is great! She’s the first one out of many Wyzant tutors that we have worked with that gives personalized feedback! Very nice to read what your kid is actually learning. I really appreciate her, and my son enjoys her sessions. We will use her services for writing. So glad to have found Stephanie. Thank you!
