Award-Winning ACT Tutors in Mount Vernon, NY

Neuroscience Major, Princeton University 2020

Hello! My name is Alex Willoughby and I'm a rising third year student in the honors mathematics and computer science program at Carnegie Mellon University. I have about a year of experience teaching in math and computer science and I've been a teaching assistant at CMU since last semester. I'm open to teaching any STEM subject or standardized test preparation. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you!

...sense that we cannot fully appreciate STEM without immersing ourselves in humanities subjects, and vice versa. Being a well-rounded student that is ambitious and dedicated to a variety of subjects is highly important, and something I would want to help my students achieve so they can reach their maximum potential. As a tutor, I feel that my approach entirely depends on the students' needs; I like to teach very personalized lessons that are entirely tailored...

...learning pace and goals to holistically tutor the student in the desired subjects. In addition, I have taught a Freshman Interest Group Seminar (FIGS) at Rutgers for Health and Medicine, which was challenging since I had a class size of about 30 students. However, every single one of my students received an A and even nominated me for a FIGS instructor award. I go above and beyond for every student because education is important and...

...prided myself on taking responsibility for my students' growth and achievement, and taking that responsibility personally! While I am able to tutor a broad range of subjects, and across a wide-range of grade-levels, I am most proud of and most passionate about my work in literacy. Creating a joyful community of reading and writing - whether for an entire school, or for a small group - has provided me with my greatest sense of accomplishment...

I'm a graduate of Questrom School of Business at Boston University. I studied Finance and Accounting.

...strive to create a stress-free environment where my students and I can have fun learning together. Students enjoy my fun and easy-going style even as I challenge them to solve problems through their own critical reasoning. Nothing gives me more satisfaction than when a student tells me "I'm really starting to enjoy learning about this," because in my experience, this is a preliminary step towards personal ownership of their academic pursuits. Guardians value my commitment...

...young writers in Iowa City. For me, learning isn't just about gaining specific knowledge and skills. It's about the excitement that comes from encountering new things, and about growing into a more confident and capable version of oneself. This is an idea that informs all my teaching and tutoring work: I want to help guide my students toward a deeper investment in their own learning. When I'm not teaching, I'm probably reading, writing, cooking, or...

...Studies at NYU. I have always found it hard to find a teacher who is willing to alter their teaching style in order for me to learn. Thus, I try my best to understand a students learning style so that I can teach in a manner they will understand the most. I have tutored students between the ages of 3 and 18 in reading and math until the college level. I have also taught children...

I am passionate on helping students to achieve their dreams through education so I will do my best to help them succeed not only in subject matters but in life too.

...Computer Science. I have been tutoring students since my sophomore year in high school. I have a passion for problem solving, and I love working with students because they often allow me to observe problems from new perspectives. I view tutoring as a win-win relationship. Not only do I have the opportunity to enrich students' knowledge and intuition in a variety of concepts, but I also get the chance improve my own understanding of concepts...

I love working with my students and think that teaching is the most rewarding job there is! It is the best feeling when I see my student solving the math problems they couldn't before and more importantly, enjoying learning. I always give my 110% for my students for the improvement and confidence in themselves.

When I was in the ninth grade, one algebra tutor changed my whole perspective on mathematics and showed me that it wasn't as scary as I initially thought. Since then, I realized the power a teacher holds in shaping young minds, and I aim to do the same with my students. Additionally, I have approximately eight years of tutoring experience as well as two years of experience as a co-teacher in an elementary school.

...think a big problem that students have with teachers is that they teach for questions and not concepts. I will help students with hard concepts by relating real world or exaggerated examples, and I find that this really helps students. I love tutoring all types of math as well as some sciences such as chemistry and physics. I have experience in all of these subjects for students from grades 7 to students in college. I...

...name is Elie and I am excited to help get you or your child a boost in school or in studying for an upcoming test. I am an incoming freshmen at Rutgers University Honors College, intending to major in Math and Philosophy on a pre-law track. In my free time I love to read, play chess, soccer, and basketball, and volunteer. I am also very involved with several types of debate and speech competitions. Please...

...From these experiences, I've developed a tireless work ethic, as well as a tremendous capacity to adapt to new scenarios, think analytically, and communicate effectively with a wide variety of people. I believe that effective teaching demands passionate, enthusiastic teachers who will invest their full energy and focus into their students, and this is the standard I hold myself to when approaching my lessons. No two students are the same, and unless they are given...

...source of motivation while of course building knowledge and develop critical thinking skills. I'm available to tutor students in a wide range of topics including English (grammar, writing, reading, spelling, etc.), math (through Algebra 2), and history. As a US Presidential Scholar who earned a 35 out of 36 on my ACT, I am most actively seeking students for ACT tutoring as well as general college prep including college applications, scholarship search, and financial aid...

...time management. I usually tutor in English or History for the regents, SAT subject tests, or Advanced Placement exams. My course of action involves three main steps: First, I identify the areas that the student needs the most help in. I prepare a simple and easy to read outline for them on the subject. I also make a few flash cards to get the student started, even if flashcards arent their preferred study method. This...

...I recently graduated Undergrad and will be going into Medical School in July. Tutoring has always been one of my favorite hobbies. I love working with students of all change. One of my favorite parts of tutoring is the ah-hah moment. When I here ah-hah moment from the student, the joy I feel is unparalleled to any other joy. That feeling surpasses all feeling and I hope I can as a tutor help you get...

...at George Washington University for seven years. During that time, I combined my writing with my love of travel by backpacking through Europe, the Middle East, and Asia and writing about my adventures. I am currently working on a book about my experiences in the Middle East. My favorite part of teaching is identifying each student’s interests and challenges and then working together to build on their strengths, work creatively on their challenges, and achieve...
