Award-Winning ACT Reading Tutors in Mount Vernon, NY

...not be viewed as a chore, but as an exciting opportunity to learn more about the world we live in. I have always loved science, and my favorite subjects to tutor are Biology, Chemistry, and Anatomy. My strengths as a tutor would most likely be my friendliness and enthusiasm, as well as my genuine desire to help students master the material. In my free time, I enjoy running, watching football, playing the piano, and baking.

...ACT test prep, but I have also done tutoring in the maths and sciences and English composition. While I am a Mechanical Engineering major, I have always had a profound appreciation for great literature and for writing good English, and I would love to pass that along to all of my students. Whenever I tutor, my main objective is not simply to plant more knowledge in the student's mind, but to give them a greater...

...success. I'm a huge baseball fan (my team is the San Francisco Giants), and am passionate about my craft of working professionally in theatre and film. In working with students, I'm all about working hard on the goals we set together, while having a good time. I like to take the pressure of the student's shoulders, instead focusing on equipping students with the best tools in their academic work, and their test prep. Academics should...

...of perspective and motivation that helps them do what they really want to do, long after our last session or their last final. It doesn't hurt that I've had a lot of practice with the things I teach, but I am much more proud of my more personal achievements than of my test scores or good grades. Some of my students who "hated" reading and writing now devour books (or at least magazines) and churn...

...I went on to work for another, more individualized company as a lead academic tutor in test prep and multiple subjects. I was recruited by an online tutoring firm to write and perform their ACT prep video series. I currently assist students in Liberal Arts Studies through the Writing Center at the Juilliard School, and I continue to teach lessons in music. My enthusiasm for working with students continues to grow as I meet more...

...in young lives, and help them find the confidence to succeed. A test is a metaphor for life. How one approaches it is the main determination of one's fate. I also want students to know that they are capable of success if they work hard, using prior shortcomings as lessons toward improvement. Few people are born with the natural capacity to ace a standardized test without practice. However, we are all capable of reaching our...

...then, I have taught high-school admissions classes and ACT classes, and tutored for the SAT, ACT, high-school admissions exams, and a variety of academic subjects, including math, Spanish, and economics. Through having tutored in a variety of settings and in multiple countries with students from all around the world, I feel very comfortable interacting with a wide variety of backgrounds. I am fluent in Spanish, having studied and spoken the language since 2000, and having...

...with their writing. I tutor many different subjects and enjoy prepping for tests, especially the SAT, ACT, and GRE, but my personal passions are English and History. I particularly love helping students to craft strong (and grammatically sound) essays on any subject by working from a compelling thesis statement to a detailed outline to an excellent and convincing final paper. I'm a very patient tutor and love to use fun games to engage students while...

...major with honors in the former. I have worked as a Teacher's Assistant at Vassar College as well as at the Montclair Art Museum summer program for children. I often worked one on one with students improving their proficiency in Spanish. I am a published poet and playwright, a standup comedian, and a jazz guitarist. I hope to share my passion for literature, modern history, the Spanish language, and more with students in person in...

...it's not surprising that my favorite subjects to tutor are Physics and Math! I enjoy helping my clients increase their confidence as they improve their skills. I always make an effort to find applications that are interesting and relevant; I believe that math and science knowledge benefits everyone, even those who aren't pursuing careers in STEM fields. My other interests include in-line skating, reading, music (I play French horn and harp), knitting, and container gardening.
