Award-Winning ACT English Tutors serving Long Island, NY

Hi there! I'm a professional fundraiser for nonprofits, which involves a lot of writing. Through my work, I've grown passionate about helping individuals and organizations learn to make their strongest arguments and communicate their ideas clearly through written words. I'm looking forward to working together to help you grow your potential and reach beyond what you thought possible!

I have over a decade of experience as an educator and I've worked with students of all ages. I am certified as both English Language Arts for grades 7-12 and ESL for grades K-12. I earned my graduate degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages from New York University. I am passionate about teaching and believe in challenging my students while giving them the support they need to grow.

Hello, my name is Alex! I happily tutor privately--anything from SAT/ACT Math and English to GPA for Geometry, Algebra, Reading, and more! Work great with elementary level students as well!

...firm and 18 months at a digital media start-up. I first began tutoring in high school and have successfully helped many middle school and high school students improve their grades and/or prepare for standardized tests. While I'm comfortable teaching in many subject areas, my specialty is standardized test preparation. In addition to having a strong understanding of the subject matter covered on these exams, test-taking strategy is a strength of mine, including time management and...

I am a professional writer who also enjoys teaching. Over the years I have taught various subjects and at many levels, from pre-K to graduate school students. I am fully bilingal (Spanish and English) and I am a trained musician.

Many students benefit from one on one learning experiences. It is important that students get individual attention to ensure that they understand the material, and that attention is not always given in the classroom environment. Students should be able to feel comfortable with their teachers and ask questions when they need clarification, and there should be enough trust between teacher and student for easy conversation.

...and physics courses. For the past year I've worked in a research lab studying childhood leukemia, and I plan on attending medical school in the next year. I specialize in tutoring a broad range of subjects including chemistry, biology, and physics, as well as math subjects like algebra and calculus. I also tutor for standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, AP tests, and the MCAT. I sincerely believe that while some of the concepts presented...

...to create those same opportunities for other students through diligent, compassionate instruction. I have been a tutor since I was in the eighth grade and have helped my younger siblings and cousins with homework ever since I was a child. I come from a single-parent home, but was a very driven student who graduated as valedictorian of one of America's top public high schools in a highly competitive STEM program, with 16 AP classes under...

...piano performance from the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University. Music is my life-long passion. But right alongside my love for music is my love for languages. Learning another language is much like opening a window to examine and explore another culture, often in brilliant, intimate detail. Of particular interest to me are language studies, language acquisition, and the anthropological and sociopolitical threads that are so beautifully interwoven through the use of words and...

I've been lucky to have attended some fine educational institutions, though I don't come from the kind of background where such opportunities can be taken for granted. I believe every student should have the same opportunities as I've had, and I want to do everything I can to make those opportunities available to every student.

I am passionate about working with all ages of students in a variety of subjects. I especially love the STEM subjects but am super excited to work with anyone! I have 5+ years of tutoring experience in a variety of areas, including full classroom, one-on-one, and special education.

...graduated with a 3.72 GPA and made the Dean's List six semesters in a row. Upon graduating, I was awarded honors for my senior thesis in comparative politics analyzing the causes of civil violence in Africa. I am now living in New Jersey for the summer and studying for the LSAT (I plan to attend law school in a couple years) before starting a corporate management position here in the fall. Throughout college, I have...

...as part of RPI Tutor Time. RPI Tutor Time is a program designed to help increase a child's self-esteem and confidence while nurturing a continued desire to learn. As a tutor, I aim to help students that struggle academically and are falling behind by analyzing their weaknesses and structure stable foundations for higher-level coursework to build upon; however, I can teach students who want to be challenged and learn new material in advance. I take...

I have several years of vastly rewarding experiences teaching art and computer skills to high school aged students. I especially love math, as well as reading and writing, and I am eager to share my enthusiasm.

...a Master's degree in violin performance at the Juilliard School. I have tutored privately and through Chegg Tutoring, Varsity Tutors, PrepExpert, and iLearn World throughout high school and college, with most of my experience being in standardized test prep and English. The most fulfilling moments that I have with my students are when I see them applying previous lessons and skills to new challenges. I believe that a good teacher not only helps a student...

...when it's time to seek help. I specialize in that help. I understand your frustration, especially when you realize that learning subject matter and learning test-taking strategies should both be given attention. I used this combination of foundational knowledge and test-taking acumen to achieve high scores on standardized tests throughout my academic career, up to and including the United States Medical Licensing Examination. I have previously taught SAT/ACT/MCAT/PCAT for Test Prep companies and I am...

My parents emphasized the importance of education since I was young. It's what allowed my father to come to the US in the first place. As an artist, social entrepreneur and educator, I teach in a way that connects the material to its practical usage.

...I tutored a number of kids in my hometown, mainly in math. However, I am also able to tutor Spanish, writing, and physics. I think that keeping the student constantly engaged and involved is essential to his or her learning the material well. Actively working through the material and doing practice problems is just as important as understanding the theory behind the subject matter. This is the basis for my tutoring techniques.

...Environmental Engineering, I am interested in Aerospace Engineering and Architecture, and I plan to pursue a minor in both of these fields. Outside of school, I hike and play golf for fun, but I also tutor several students. In high school, I worked at Kumon Learning Center and assisted students with their math and reading coursework. I am also currently a tutor for the STEP program at Cornell, where I teach middle school and high...
