Our Owner & Musical Theatre Coach
Hello! My name is Paula and thank you for your interest in CT Tutors!
A little about me: I have a background in musical theatre and have been teaching voice and acting lessons to students for over 10 years now! I've also taught ESL at various schools in NYC during my time living there and greatly enjoyed it. After the pandemic, I moved to CT and in 2021 opened a children's birthday party/event planning company- "Enchanted Moments Events." I have loved running this company and working with children over the past couple years, as well as raising my toddler! As a mom, I understand wanting the best for your kids. So I've decided to open "CT Tutors" to bring caring, experienced, and professional teachers right to your home! There are so many incredible teachers here in Fairfield county and they would love to help your child exceed and grow in whatever subject they may need a little extra support in. Let us match you with a tutor that best fits your needs and your schedule.
I still currently teach Voice/Acting lessons for ages 10 and up!
Feel free to contact me for more info.
I'm excited to connect CT families to our expert CT Tutors who are all excited to help your child grow and succeed!

Science Tutor (7th-12th Graders)
Hi, my name is Kristen, and I have 11 years’ experience teaching Earth Science, Environmental Science and AP Environmental Science in New York City. Over the last few years, I have been tutoring students, both virtually and in-person, in the aforementioned courses as well as 7th and 8th grade science. My goal as an educator is to help students feel empowered and knowledgeable, while opening their eyes to the natural world around them. In the classroom I would incorporate student-led investigations and experiments as often as possible, as it is my belief that hands-on learning is most beneficial and rewarding for both the students and the teacher. When this is not possible I utilize demonstrations and videos to supplement students’ understanding of the material. I simplify and explain abstract scientific concepts and phenomenon and give real-world examples to support student comprehension.
What I can tutor:
-
AP Environmental Science
-
Environmental Science
-
Earth Science
-
6-8th grade Science
-
Experience with upper-level students
-
Experience with Special Education students
Math Tutor (6th-12th Graders)
My name is Juan Agurto and I am a 6-12th Mathematics tutor. I have been tutoring since I was in high school, as part of the national honors society community in the Stamford Public schools. The most rewarding thing about being a teacher for me is the feeling when the student comprehends something that used to be tough for them. I also have experience working with clients with special needs students, which I gained during my internship at public schools in Stamford. I believe that teaching doesn't have boundaries and everyone can learn one way or another. I love to give real word examples whenever it is possible during my teaching in order to create a fun and relatable mathematical activity. Besides middle schoolers and high schoolers, I have also tutored adults in order to reach their GED. Finally, I can tutor mathematics in Spanish if needed, as I have experience teaching ESL or new arrivals students.

-
Middle school 6th , 7th and 8th grade. (including the algebra and geometry levels)
