Greg: Mount Vernon ACT Reading tutor
Certified ACT Reading Tutor in Mount Vernon, NY
...and even though these subjects are often considered "dry," the right teaching style can spark any student's interest. When it comes to standardized test preparation, I've found that knowing the intricacies of a test can improve a student's score just as much as knowing the subject material can. Different students learn in different ways but that kind of personal attention is difficult to provide in a classroom. With one on one tutoring sessions, any student...

This passion is all the more authentic due to my previous experience growing up as someone who faced learning difficulties in math and who entered the STEM field with a non-science background. I know what it feels like to struggle, and I also know how to overcome negative expectations about our ability (both those from people around us and those we...

Due to this fascination, I have spent many hours trying to figure out what makes certain learning techniques "better" than others, and I have become well versed in a variety of teaching styles. Personally, I learn through understanding, and try to teach others through that same understanding. In my spare time I like to practice piano, guitar, and, of course saxophone. I also love to sail, to read, and to draw when I...

While I very much enjoy classroom teaching, the one-to-one or small-group teaching I did with Education First is something that I found to be most rewarding.

Outside of school, I really...
