Carefully selected, highly-credentialed Algebra tutors in Hicksville, NY
"One of my mentor teachers was fond of saying, "Teach the child, not the subject", meaning that the student comes first - before the curriculum, before the test scores, before the tutor. I've learned to incorporate this ideology into my own teaching practice by differentiating instruction for each of my students. I develop a rapport, meet students where they're at, and teach them the literacy and problem solving skills they need to become life-long learners. Once a student knows how to learn, whole new worlds open for them and the actual material is a matter of course.." ...

" This is a skill that every child will be using from their first day of school to their last day in the workforce. As a logically-minded graduate of Georgetown University, I love to see the bright smile of a student who has just realized that he or she has the skills to complete a problem. To me, it is very important for a tutor to work with the student until the student can complete every problem on their own. This is my tutoring philosophy and I have applied it successfully for over a year of private tutoring."

" At Johns Hopkins, I was a founding member of Pi Delta Phi, which is the French National Honor Society. I'm currently in my second year at The New School for Social Research, where I am a Psychology MA candidate. I intend to complete a PhD in Clinical Psychology. I love learning, and I love helping others to enjoy the learning process as well. I like to approach subjects from different angles, as I think that it's important to not only learn the material for a specific subject, but to also discover which techniques and methods of learning work best for you or your child." ...

"They have made a great impact on my life in providing structure, motivating me and giving me the confidence that I often needed. I started tutoring during the summer between high school and college. Because I had an early start, I knew and understood the thinking process of students. Therefore, I was able to relate to them and explain concepts in ways that they could absorb and digest."

"I spent one year as an Undergraduate Student Instructor at UC Berkeley where I helped run a lab section for a general biology course. I also spent one year as an individual tutor for biology and general chemistry. One of my most fulfilling experiences as a tutor was working with several special needs students in the biological sciences; that experience really helped broaden my horizons as an educator. The summer after I graduated I was given the privilege of leading a study group for general biology. Students who needed a little bit of extra help for that course could always come to my study group to bolster their knowledge." ...

"Additionally, I am extremely well versed in the New York State Regents requirements of each science and math Regents exam, and have tutored students with much success over the past eight years.
What makes me a great tutor is my ability to understand the needs of my tutee and tailor my teaching strategy to his or her needs. Additionally, I have an uncanny ability to connect with my tutees so that tutoring becomes something more than “extra” work; it becomes a fun, challenging journey to learn the unknown.
