Marc Darlene

Conversational French Tutor • +12 Subjects

I earned my Bachelors Degree from Florida International University, and I am currently working on my Masters Degree at Davenport University. I feel that my experiences of temporary teaching and tutoring have been both personally satisfying and beneficial to the children I worked with. I have enjoyed three periods of teaching.My first opportunity to teach was provided by the Miami-Dade County Public Schools, which was one of the necessary ways to get the best experience by teaching language arts, writing, reading comprehension, mathematics, science, geography, social studies or history. Moreover, I was able to work with various levels and a diversity of students. I enjoyed working with students from pre-K to fifth grades there and was interested in the teachers technique of teaching young children.I had the opportunity at my second position at One on One Learning, to instruct my own group of pupils based on their weak subjects in the comfort of their homes. I was allowed to devise my own teaching methods and I received great satisfaction when the children showed understanding and progress.My third experience was provided by Sylvan Learning Center when I worked as a tutor by focusing on standard core subjects such as mathematics and reading. I enjoyed the opportunity to teach older children as the lessons were more tightly structured so that a better understanding could be attained.I am now certain that it is the education of the elementary age group that I would like to specialize in as at this level I would be able to teach mathematics to the depth at which it becomes the most interesting and enlightening. I would hope to give my students a good foundation since I feel that nearly every profession uses some form of mathematics.

I am a retired educator with almost 30 years of experience in the classroom and library. A large part of my classroom instruction involved tutoring in all core subject areas in grades K-5. As a librarian,I had the pleasure of working with middle school teens as a resource and mentor in academic competitions and other activities. My teaching philosophy involves listening to the student and assessing weaknesses and strengths. I use scaffolding to build upon small successes until the student has mastered skills and achieved his/her goals.

Taylor

College English Tutor • +34 Subjects

I just finished up a graduate program and moved to Boston, where I am currently interning and pondering the next step in my career. I am a self-proclaimed "audio nerd" and do freelance work within sound design and audio production. I really enjoy the intricacies of language and would be very interested in delving into a graduate/doctorate program in German Studies eventually, as I have a BA in German from Bates College. Right now, I am studying for the GRE and applying to other grad programs in that area.I have enjoyed working with and mentoring children and young adults all of my life. Throughout high school and college I spent my summers working at summer camps, with children aged 6-16. Most recently I worked at AYF Merrowvista in the summer of 2014, where I led teenagers on adventure trips throughout New England. I particularly enjoy mentoring and watching children grow into their identities as they grow up and would really relish the opportunity to help your child not only develop their skills as a student but grow into a personable and confident young adult.

Frequently Asked Questions

Family psychology covers complex systems and dynamics that often feel abstract. Students commonly find difficulty with concepts like family systems theory (understanding how individual behavior impacts the whole family unit), attachment patterns across generations, and distinguishing between healthy boundaries and disconnection. Additionally, applying theoretical frameworks to real-world family situations—like understanding intergenerational trauma or dysfunctional communication patterns—requires critical thinking beyond memorization. Personalized instruction helps clarify these interconnected concepts by breaking them into manageable pieces and connecting theory directly to relatable examples.

Family psychology content varies significantly by level. Introductory psychology courses (high school or early college) cover basic family structures, parenting styles, and how family relationships affect development. Upper-level undergraduate courses dive deeper into systems theory, family therapy approaches, and research methodology specific to family studies. Graduate-level coursework emphasizes advanced therapeutic techniques, cultural context in family dynamics, and conducting original research. Understanding where your course sits in this progression helps tutors target the right level of depth and complexity for your needs.

In a classroom setting, family psychology is often taught through lectures and textbook readings that present theories as established facts. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, tutors can slow down on concepts you find confusing, use case studies tailored to your interests, and engage you in Socratic questioning that builds your critical thinking skills. You can also explore how different theoretical perspectives (psychoanalytic, systems-based, attachment-focused) apply to the same family situation, deepening your understanding of the field's complexity in ways that lecture formats rarely allow.

The best family psychology tutors combine subject expertise with strong teaching skills. Look for someone with a background in psychology, counseling, or social work who understands family systems theory deeply. They should be able to explain complex concepts like differentiation, triangulation, and emotional enmeshment in clear language, connect theoretical ideas to real-world applications, and adapt their teaching based on your learning style. Additionally, a tutor who stays current with family therapy research and can discuss multiple theoretical approaches (structural, narrative, solution-focused) will give you a comprehensive understanding of the field.

Personalized instruction allows tutors to identify your specific weak spots—whether that's understanding Bowen's family systems model, applying concepts to case study analysis, or writing research papers on family dynamics. Tutors can create targeted practice with real exam-style questions, help you develop frameworks for analyzing complex family scenarios, and provide feedback on your essays before submission. This targeted approach typically leads to stronger exam performance because you're not spending time on material you already understand well.

Absolutely. Family psychology intersects with developmental psychology (how childhood experiences shape adult relationships), abnormal psychology (family dysfunction and mental health), social psychology (group dynamics within families), and therapeutic practice. A skilled tutor can help you see these connections, showing how attachment theory from developmental psychology underpins family therapy approaches, or how social psychological research on conformity applies to family communication patterns. These connections strengthen your overall psychology knowledge and help you understand family psychology as part of a larger discipline rather than in isolation.

With consistent personalized instruction, you can expect improved comprehension of complex theoretical concepts, stronger performance on exams and assignments, and the ability to apply family psychology concepts to case studies and real-world scenarios with greater confidence. Many students also develop a more nuanced understanding of their own family dynamics, which deepens their engagement with the subject. Specific outcomes depend on your starting point and goals—whether that's improving a grade, preparing for advanced coursework in psychology, or building knowledge for a counseling career path.
