I am a certified history teacher in the States of Connecticut and New York. I work as a paraprofessional in Fairfield County, CT, helping to education students with diverse needs. I got into tutoring to expand my knowledge and skills working one on with students. If you are looking for your child to get an extra boost in their subject in school, I am happy to help out. (Please be advised, I require 24 hours notice).

My Education: I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in Social Studies Education and my Certification from Manhattanville College. Currently, I am working on gaining my Masters of Arts in Teaching at Fairfield University. Both schools are highly accredited liberal arts colleges in the Northeast, well known for academic excellence.

My Occupation: As a teacher, I have worked with students of all abilities in a variety of classroom settings. As a paraprofessional, I make sure that the students I teach are meeting their goals on a daily basis. Consistency is key in education, and I make sure that I am following through with their education plans so that they can gain mastery over the knowledge and skills in class. This job affords me the ability to see how different teacher structure their classrooms and how they pay attention to the individual needs of the students in their care.

My Skills as a Tutor: I have had many satisfied and repeat customers. I work with students from middle school to college. Each of my sessions are tailor made to each individual student's learning styles and preferences. My greatest strength is helping students better understanding classroom content. I have received excellent feedback from the parents of my students, who have thanked me for helping their children with the content. My specialty subject is History, particularly AP History courses. I worked with a young man who wanted to pass the Ap World History exam. Over the next several months, I created a study plan by which, he could ask me questions on the content he found difficult, I would explain them, using worksheets or v

Art

Art History,

Art History

When I graduated from college, I received a minor in art history. I have a particular love of this subject and I was fortunate enough to have a great aptitude for the subject. For three years, I spent my spring break trips in Italy, Venice, Rome and Tuscany respectively. The area of art history that I am very proficient in is the art of the Early and High Renaissance. I believe that while a student can learn about art from a textbook or the internet, they must attend a museum to see the real impact of art to have a full and meaningful experience.
Theater

Theater

I have performed on the stage on several occasions and have volunteered my time working backstage at my school's musical productions during our spring musical. I am well versed in the history of American musical theater and have taken several courses on the subject in school.

As a social studies teacher, Common Core has become a regular part of the classroom experience. I use the standards for English-Language Arts and Social Studies on a daily basis to educate my students on the standards expected of them by the State. AI strive to ensure that my lessons are aligned to meet the demands and expectations of the Common Core Learning Standards. In addition, I also have experience in helping students prepare for the ELA Common Core State Assessment as well as the History Regents--both global and U.S.
Handwriting,

Handwriting

I have taught in the public school system for several years now and one thing I have noticed is how inconsistent student's handwriting is. In order for them to improve it, I started consistent lessons in proper handwriting using white boards and erasers and notebooks to show the progress that they made over a given stretch of time. This has been very effective in improving the quality of their homework and writing assignments.

I'm currently working on gaining a BA in English in the NY and CT areas. I have worked in several school districts as an English substitute. I am a very well read individual and I keep on top of what is currently being taught in districts around the area where I live. I particularly enjoy connecting what a student is reading in class with situations in their own life and things taking place in the world around them to help them have a better understanding of the novel.

Classics,

Classics

My interest in the Greek and Roman Classics goes all the way back to 6th Grade History when I first studied Ancient Greece. Since then, I have read widely in Greek philosophy (Socrates, Plato, Aristotle) and Roman History (Livy, Tacitus). One of my great joys in teaching the classics has been introducing children to the epic poetry of Homer and Virgil. I have recently started teaching this subject in school.

Political Science,

Political Science

Having taking several courses in college in political science and reading widely in classical and modern political tracts, I have strived to provide students with a multi-faceted approach to the study of politics. I try to have my students read from both sides of a political argument so that they may have a wider understanding. In class, my students do roundtable discussions about current issues and often times have my students defend views that they would tend to disagree with. It allows for them to see that both sides of an issue make very valid points.
Religion,

Religion

Since taking a course in college, I have begun to study the religions of the World. I have particular interest in the Judeo-Christian-Islamic religions of the West, and I am studying the Eastern religions of India and China in more depth.

Great Help With Understanding Novels

Gregory helped me understand one of the toughest literary works of all time, Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. He was very helpful in helping me understand the major underlying themes of the novella. He also helped me improve my writing skills.

Justin, 3 lessons with Gregory

Just charging money for instant booking

This teacher is unethical as he had charged me for an instant booking that never was confirmed with him and the cost I applied was $50.00 and under and he accepted my class without talking to me even. I am not sure how these tutors do not understand that a instant booking is not guaranteed for a tutor to earn money. Not recommended.

Tutor responded:

I am sorry to hear that you were unsatisfactory with my teaching. However as I had already schedule the time and had spoken to you at least twice before the time, I know I did every thing on my part to ensure that you received tutoring. However you did not show up at the scheduled time that you had requested. My time is extremely valuable and if you did not want to meet at that time it is your responsibility to let me know. Otherwise you will be charged as it says so in my profile. Unless you’re not able to make it you will be charged the full amount. Thank you.

Great at getting information

My son worked with Gregory and the end product was a very good essay. My son said it went well. The vocabulary words were impressive. The layout was organized.

Knowledgeable and experienced tutor on World History

Greg spent two hours with my son on AP World History, and after the lesson my son practiced on his own. He not only found the lesson beneficial, but felt more confident and on the subject. Greg knows the materials very well and in great details.
