The worst thing that students are taught today is that things can only be done one way. I believe that if the teacher or tutor takes the time to figure out how the student learns, then the teacher or tutor can specialize the teaching to that student, and they will have the ability...

...between such simple geometrical ratios and the sophisticated universe is where the beauty of mathematics and physics lies. I have watched lectures on Game Theory; its potential to predict social interactions, mainly in economic and political sciences, and its base in mathematics, suggest the centrality of scientific logic in all aspects of human behaviour.

Algebra REGENTS Tutoring FAQ
All students in New York State are required to pass the Algebra Regents in order to earn a Regents diploma. If your child is struggling with the material on the exam or simply the effects of test anxiety, Varsity Tutors can help you connect with an Algebra Regents tutor who can assist in their exam prep.
Here is a complete breakdown of the topics covered by the exam, with the range of the item's weight given in parenthesis:
Algebra (50-56%)
Functions (32-38%)
Statistics/Probability (5-10%)
Numbers and Quantity (2-8%)
Algebra Regents tutoring sessions allow students to focus on what they need to know for the test. For example, a student who struggles with Statistics and Probability can emphasize those areas during their Algebra Regents prep. In contrast, classrooms and dedicated review courses are likely to gloss over both areas in favor of Algebra and Functions because of their relative weight.
An experienced Algebra Regents tutor can also answer any questions a student has about the format of the exam. It lasts for three hours, and students are prohibited from leaving early even if they finish with time to spare. Therefore, students should plan to take their time on the test. The use of an approved graphing calculator is also allowed on all portions of the exam, so a tutor may provide practice problems during high school Algebra Regents tutoring sessions to help students get accustomed to using it.
There are two types of questions on the Algebra Regents: multiple-choice and constructed response. Each multiple-choice item includes four possible answer choices, with incorrect responses selected based on mistakes students may make. Knowledgeable tutors may know what some of these mistakes are, allowing students to avoid some incorrect responses even if they do not know the right answer.
Constructed response questions are generally more involved, and students are expected to show their work throughout. Partial credit is available for these items, so tutors are likely to encourage their pupil to show everything just in case it nabs them a few extra points.
Practice exams may be administered during Algebra Regents tutoring sections to give students a feel for exactly what they can expect on test day. The results may also be reviewed to identify any specific strengths and weaknesses that can guide future sessions, improving the efficacy of each.
