"I have been a private tutor for the last 10 years now in Math (through Pre-Calculus), Literature (American, British, grammar), SAT I (Math, Verbal, Writing), and SAT II (Math I and II, Literature). Before moving to New York, I ran a private tutoring company based out of Rhode Island where I created curricula for various standardized exams (ISEE, SSAT, SAT I and II, ACT, MAT, GRE); I also offered college admissions guidance. I believe that the most important part of any tutor-student relationship is the ability for each to relate to the other; the tutor must be able to relate to the student relevant information that makes the material ...

" My teaching philosophy centers on one thing: learning. This takes several steps. First, a teacher cannot perform his or her duties without first developing a solid understanding of the material. Thus, a teacher must engage the material through study that may last decades, if not a lifetime."

" I tutored younger students in the theater department throughout college, serving as a mentor for many underclassmen during my senior year. I believe a good teacher is a good listener; someone who can tailor their teaching style to the needs of any student, something I hope I will be able to do for you. I love playing guitar and singing more than anything, I've recently been reading a lot of Hemingway, and I absolutely love old Russian literature, particularly Tolstoy.."

"
I'm an experiential learner, so I try to make my sessions as interactive as possible. Like any good tutor, I also try to pinpoint the areas where a student is having the most trouble. I prefer teaching smart strategies rather than relying on rote memorization, and I emphasize thematic learning.."

" My years at Princeton developed my passion for human rights, and also solidified my desire to help others. During my senior year, I researched and compared the educational systems and conditions faced by Chinese migrant children and those faced by undocumented children in America.
As a long time athlete, I understand the value of coaching and teamwork. This is reflected in my tutoring; I believe that creating a dynamic partnership between student and tutor allows for even greater and more sustained success than teaching alone.."

"Prior to teaching, I practiced criminal law for several years. While law school prepared me well for drafting legal documents and writing complicated briefs, it did not provide me with a career for which I had passion. Serving as a prosecutor in the Bronx County District Attorney's Office, I saw first hand the tragic results of our city's failing educational system. I saw the widening achievement gap and I became passionate about closing it."

"He focuses on reading, writing, History and English, and test prep (all areas). It's the stuff that can seem intimidating, but - with some new tools and training- isn't any problem at all. He is passionate about his students, and definitely has a competitive streak - he will make it his personal goal to make sure each student accomplishes his or her goals. In a word, his teaching philosophy is one of 'Responsibility' -- that every student is mature, talented, and responsible enough to succeed (even if they don't know it!). Funny, a little sarcastic, and energetic, he can both inspire students..." ...

" My primary areas of focus are SAT, Latin, Study Skills and Organization, Critical Reading, Essay Writing, Grammar and Literature. I find out what frustrations students are having and work with them to develop strategies to address their individual needs. In particular, I believe strongly in my writing and critical thinking skills and I believe that I can leverage these strengths to help students improve their own skills.

"I believe that students need to learn how to ask the right questions so that they can navigate the increasingly sophisticated world around them. This belief informs my teaching style; I act as a guide for students rather than someone dispensing information. Nothing is more enjoyable than the look on a student's face when he or she has just realized that he or she can solve a problem without anyone's help. When I'm not tutoring, I love walking through New York for design inspiration and taking carpentry, metalworking, and illustration classes.." ...
