Yet, with the breadth and depth of material expected to be covered in any given academic year, there is little to no time devoted to honing those skills. Parlance Educators aims to change that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a85c7e28fd4d20e6db4d6e9/1607404505886-32LBUTGDGAOXMTSP2HIC/photo-1500160503851-c04cefe545a9.jpg Parlance Educators - Methods that Meet Your Needs Whether a deep dive into content and specifics is necessary, a discussion of tips, tricks, and strategies is preferred, or a more nuanced analysis of course material or test structure is helpful, Parlance Educators is prepared to meet you where you are. Together, we’ll determine the methods that match your manner of operating. We don’t “teach to the test.” We teach to you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a85c7e28fd4d20e6db4d6e9/1607406224717-2ZJGO63UULKVAUUKV6AS/photo-1542984385-2184d2ba45eb.jpg Parlance Educators - A Scholastic Sidekick from the Start Parlance Educators is here to help from the start of when classes get harder in high school through rigorous math and science curricula in college, from the start of the college testing process through its return for graduate admissions, or from the start of a project still just getting organized through to polishing up a report or a slide deck for a presentation. Lead Educator Andrew DuFresne has also been helping students from the start - from tutoring classmates to leading classes in college to designing and teaching courses for a range of audiences at different stages of their educational and professional journeys. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a85c7e28fd4d20e6db4d6e9/1657998167279-34GQJE8MMQ1KN6IQZB06/unsplash-image-Wt1JB9Hpt7I.jpg Parlance Educators - ABOVE & BEYOND “Andrew is one of the best tutors my daughter has ever had. Andrew has gone above and beyond helping her with college chemistry. She says he explains the concepts so well to her. Andrew is an amazing teacher, and he has helped build my daughter’s confidence in the sciences. He is always willing to find time to meet with her, and we really appreciate all of his help. As a tutor and a person, Andrew is priceless.” — Washington University parent https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a85c7e28fd4d20e6db4d6e9/1657999531137-2W490X60ZNJG1ZLWLQQ5/unsplash-image-SsH2c8clT5c.jpg Parlance Educators - TREMENDOUS SUPPORT “Andrew provided tremendous support to our son as he prepared for the ACT. It is challenging for students to complete their course prep work while still studying for school. Andrew was able to inspire our son to complete his prep work and take multiple practice tests. My son benefited tremendously from Andrew’s patient instruction and guidance. We look forward to working with Andrew again with our younger son.” — Sidwell Friends School parent https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a85c7e28fd4d20e6db4d6e9/1657999814894-BR9M81J8GCRRFF7YXCFD/unsplash-image-uj3hvdfQujI.jpg Parlance Educators - INSPIRING APPROACH “Andrew has tutored my two older sons to prepare for standardized tests (ACT, SAT, and subject SATs) for college applications and high school AP exams. Over the years, my sons have had tutor support from a few different tutors, but I have to say Andrew is the best. He is super smart, relates very well to students ranging in ages and most importantly has motivated my kids with his positive and inspiring attitude and approach. The results have been great: top notch ACT scores, confident college applicants, and good college choices. I am already booking Andrew for my youngest son who starts high school in the fall. I can’t imagine going through the college application process without his very valuable support and coaching for the kids.” — A DC mom of three https://parlanceeducators.com/overview daily 0.75 2021-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a85c7e28fd4d20e6db4d6e9/1607582239837-QMQC427F6Z1CF5ZZUBOI/photo-1556711905-b3f402e1ff80.jpg How It's Done - Success is found through a series of steps. Progress is made with the right procedures and sufficient practice. It’s not enough to only know what to do but not how to do it well. Nor does constantly practicing something with ineffective methods or without the appropriate analysis deliver results. Parlance Educators can help you put together a plan, follow it, adapt it, and even throw it away and draft a new one if something just isn’t working. Widely applicable recipes for success are less about the particular ingredients and more about the questions and answers that lead you to incorporate them. Work with Parlance to craft the right questions, act on the answers effectively, and see the series of steps to success. With academic tutoring, Parlance will find a way for the course material to make sense to you, to speak to you. We’ll consider the style of your instructor, too, in order to deliver work and results of a form that is suitable and satisfactory and then some. With test preparation, Parlance will translate test structure, subject matter, and style into predictable patterns, a better understanding of content breadth and depth, and expectations you can exploit to improve your accuracy. Together, we’ll make connections across tests to illustrate the reliability of our methods. One-on-one collaboration puts you in the driver seat and the sole determinant of our direction. With guidance on projects and presentations, Parlance is prepared to augment your approach with the wisdom of having worked through some iteration of your enterprise with leaders of their respective industries. At any point in the process, Parlance Educators will speak your language and help you turn angst into achievement. https://parlanceeducators.com/tutoring daily 0.75 2022-07-31 https://parlanceeducators.com/test-preparation daily 0.75 2025-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a85c7e28fd4d20e6db4d6e9/8a8c9154-5169-4831-8170-1594bf21704a/Artboard+1%400.5x.png https://parlanceeducators.com/project-presentation-consulting daily 0.75 2022-07-20 https://parlanceeducators.com/about daily 0.75 2025-09-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a85c7e28fd4d20e6db4d6e9/1631339745110-CTM59SLWIF8JNMYWUE7M/communication+is+key.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a85c7e28fd4d20e6db4d6e9/1607583883791-PKB7A9G2764DT2WVCKSK/ED0217151038.jpg About - Andrew DuFresne, Ph.D. Lead Educator Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

Just as with a teacher with whom you become more familiar and get a sense of what will receive positive feedback (<ahem> higher marks), these tests can be broken down into predictable patterns and approached with standardized strategies. Parlance Educators provides one-on-one test preparation tutoring for a variety of exams. https://parlanceeducators.com/philosophy daily 0.75 2022-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a85c7e28fd4d20e6db4d6e9/1658344705309-632TWA9IGJKGBE73OT5D/unsplash-image-8KK6G9KmYjw.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a85c7e28fd4d20e6db4d6e9/1658344549368-WTQNYIQCSRNAHVZKA0JX/unsplash-image-X2R7VLGAPfI.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a85c7e28fd4d20e6db4d6e9/1658344040828-XBM4OR5TANNWNVVA377Q/unsplash-image-LyZO-6jLa8c.jpg https://parlanceeducators.com/store daily 0.75 57390-07-30
