Award-Winning ACT Science Tutors serving Westchester, NY

...a deeper understanding of the material, such as engaging with virtual simulations that illustrate important physical concepts and coding an interactive game that requires user input. I understand that different students learn differently and require different types of encouragement and support, and I would personalize my lessons to meet each student's needs. I believe that it is important to make learning STEM subjects fun, and I do my best to share my own enthusiasm for...

Hi! I'm Cassidy, I'm 20 years old, and I'm from New Jersey. I am a junior in college majoring in Education with minors in English and Psychology. In 2021, I will be certified to teach K-8 all subjects. In addition to teaching, I love crafting and spending time with my dogs.

I am an aspiring physician attending the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education/ CUNY School of Medicine who wants to help others achieve the goals they strive for academically because I know how important education is.

Trained in the social sciences and humanities, I am well-equipped to help students achieve their academic goals. I customize my tutoring to each student's personal needs and encourage them to practice critical thinking skills that help them achieve their personal and professional goals.

...through Relay Graduate School of Education. I revised curriculum materials from the program and worked with small groups of up to 6 graduate students. During the class, I modeled individual problems, assessed student understanding through giving rapid feedback on practice problems completed by students, and adapted to fix misconceptions as they arose. Every time I tutor, I utilize the skills and knowledge I have developed as a classroom teacher. By building strong conceptual understanding and...

...In this way, I learn as much from my clients as they do from me. In addition to going over the basics of good essay writing like organization, development of ideas, sentence and paragraph structure, use of vocabulary, etc., I also employ a system of "neutral questions" to help writers go deeper into their own ideas, synthesize their thoughts, and locate their own areas of deepest engagement. I find that this technique almost always leads...

...college level Biology and Physics and expanded from there to tutoring high school students in preparation for college and standardized tests. I have had a lot of great experiences from working one-on-one with students especially because private tutoring usually enables students to stay more focused and feel more comfortable addressing their concerns. I believe every student is fully capable of being successful and reaching their goals but with the right mindset, approach, and attitude towards...

I've been tutoring formally and informally throughout the past seven years; during that time, I've developed my belief in a "person-first" approach to tutoring. To succeed, you need more than just some academic knowledge -- you need the right mindset and a confidence in your own abilities as well. I try to instill that into my students.

...those seeking his or her support. This is why I want to become an educator before I embark on my medical school journey because I know that, without valuing this integral yet often disregarded facet of medicine, I will not be able to provide the best care possible to my patients. Diagnosis demands more than medicine - it requires care, attention and compassion. These skills, although may be taught in tandem with classroom lectures, can...

Strategic, high-energy, confident professional bridging the gap between goals and accomplishments... I would refer a student to previous times that I had difficulty, slow down the process, and ensure that every step along the way is mastered. Without moving on to the next step, I would want the student to show mastery on every given step before moving on. Hopefully slowing down, the student will be able to learn conceptually and visually.... Introduce myself, get the...

I enjoy teaching students and helping them reach their academic goals. I have a Doctor of Medicine degree, as well as a Bachelors of Science degree with a double major in Biology and Sociology. I am interested in fitness, reading, and sightseeing in my free time.

...break those giant leaps into manageable steps, and support them in succeeding at each individual step. Finally, for students who struggle with English and literature, the identification of important themes and synthesis of big ideas can be profoundly frustrating. My strong grounding in textual analysis, extensive knowledge of the Western canon, and deep love of literature allow me to guide students through this process with care and enthusiasm. In my own life, I'm a music...

...student at Princeton University, I place great value in education and understand how much of a difference a good tutor can make. Prior to joining Varsity Tutors, I did work as a high school tutor and now want to continue to help students learn. I tutor test-prep, Algebra, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. When I'm not tutoring or doing my own academic work, I spend my time running, reading, and going to the movies. I can't wait...

...I love sharing that outlook and enthusiasm with students who are trying to improve their SAT performance. I find it completely invigorating to see students grasping the concepts that underlie the problems we work through together, and it is so fun to develop a unique relationship with each pupil. There really is such nuance to helping each student overcome his or her unique set of test taking-related challenges, and I think it's a captivating experience...

...development. I majored in Biology with a minor in Chemistry and I am currently an incoming graduate student who will pursue a PhD in Cell and Molecular Biology. My goal is to ensure that each student gains a thorough understanding of the material and gains confidence in their ability to handle complex problems. I break down the material so that the student is able to clearly understand and adjust my tutoring style to fit each...

...lot of the time students do not score well not because of a lack of knowledge of the material, but rather they are using the wrong resources to study. My methods will help you or your loved one use study time more efficiently by utilizing the right resources and learning from someone who has been in your shoes and managed to beat the odds. Look no further at other profiles you have found the man...

...every level, from high school math to summer program courses at Yale. In teaching, I take an empathetic approach to learning. As a former student, I know firsthand that the expertise of the teacher does not always correlate with that teacher's effectiveness working with students. Because my teaching is based on years of real-world experience tutoring students, I know that the "textbook" way of explaining things does not work for every student. As such, I...

...for learning and promote an encouraging, comfortable, and supportive learning space. I view tutoring as an opportunity to improve my students' weaknesses, as well as expand their strengths. In order to accomplish these feats, I work to adjust my approach to fit each student's needs. My interest in tutoring is driven by my desire to support students, as well as learn from them. I am eager to connect with a wide range of students throughout...

Hello! I'm a recent graduate from Swarthmore College with my major in Biology. I'm currently getting some work experience before applying to grad school. I'm passionate about making potentially complex material accessible and available, and I'm looking forward to helping out!

I am a recent master's graduate in biomedical engineering and studied writing (along with biology) as an undergraduate. I have tutored folks in STEM, ELA, and test prep in the past. I'm excited about meeting new students and helping them feel more confident in their academic lives!
