Award-Winning AP Calculus BC Tutors in New York City, NY

...what may be difficult subject matter into terms and concepts that they already understand. I firmly believe in the potential of every student to grasp material that they may think is out of reach, and aim to reduce the stress factor of studying as much as possible. Outside of tutoring, I am a professional actor and playwright, and in my free time (a rare, mystical thing these days) I enjoy playing guitar and mandolin, practicing...

...to ensure that students do not become dependent on the crutch of a tutor or teacher. Often, a student may work well with an instructor but is unable to solve problems or understand concepts alone. I make sure to prod students in the appropriate direction of thinking, without blatantly doing the problems for them. I do not give out any rules unless the student understands how the rule was established. Through these techniques, the student...

If you choose me to be your tutor then you will definitely ace your test. I'm a great math tutor because I understand the material thoroughly, am patient, and know how to explain things. I attended Stuyvesant High School and the University of Chicago; I am currently studying Data Science with Johns Hopkins.... If you don't get it then I'm explaining it wrong.... Before the first session, I'd have them do a bunch of practice problems...

I graduated from Columbia University in 2016 with a degree in applied mathematics. I work in finance now but have always had a passion for tutoring peers. I've been tutoring for standardized tests such as the SATs, AP subject tests, and ACTs since high school.

...in sports and musicals, I enjoyed participating in academic competitions, in which I could explore my engineering interests, such as Science Olympiad and TEAMS. In high school, I primarily tutored in biology, physics, and mathematics. Tutoring was my way to gain teaching experience and give back to my school. In college, for similar reasons, I currently work as a TA in computer science. I also conduct glaucoma research in a clinical research lab. My tutoring...

...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 understanding of broader fields of inquiry, so that they reach a greater understanding of how the different academic domains are...

...at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. Nowadays, I work with a theatre company called Grey Room NYC and a non-profit organization called Leave Out Violence. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, playing and watching basketball (Go Bulls!), enjoying funny television shows (Louie is my favorite), and playing music (guitar & piano). I consider myself blessed to have a creative mind and spirit; I always endeavor to bring this creativity into...

...Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!... All questions are...

I am a student at the University of Michigan studying Aerospace Engineering. I tutor a variety of subjects, although I am most passionate about math and the sciences. I aim to teach both fundamental concepts and the ability to solve problems step-by-step with well-established methods. In my free time, I enjoy designing and flying high-power rockets competitively, playing the piano, and engraving glass.

...advanced placement and regents examinations) as well as preparation for the SAT and ACT. I find tutoring to be a very rewarding experience not just for myself but for my students- especially when I see the "light bulb" go off in someone's head and a concept that has been giving difficulties is finally understood! My teaching approach is very flexible and catered to the individual that I am working with because I believe that everyone...

...somewhere or do something that I have not yet achieved. I believe it is this drive that allows me to pursue my passions, both academically and socially, and to be successful in both. I find that my greatest happiness comes in the form of little victories such as a good grade on an exam, or making a friend laugh! Its because of this that I really slow down and try to appreciate every passing moment...

Hello! I am studying political science and statistics, and I will be working in finance after graduation. I also have strengths in Spanish (I studied abroad in Spain), standardized tests, and test taking and organization skills. In my free time I love to run, spend time with friends, and travel. I actually think standardized tests are fun and I would love to help you learn to feel that way too.... I believe that students should be...

...of contemporary ideologies and approaches. This ground-up familiarity with modern tutoring methods/resources enables me to cater my approach for each session, especially in the small-group instructional environment. As a counterpoint, my work with Breakthrough gave me the opportunity to scale my mentorship skills to a larger audience, as well as adapt my approaches to a new demographic (public/charter students in an under-performing district). While work with the TWP necessitated self- and program-wide evaluation, Breakthrough instituted...

...I'm working towards a double major in public policy and international relations with a minor in Middle Eastern studies, and I hope to go to law school after I graduate. I've done paid and volunteer tutoring for three years, across a range of ages and subjects. I've earned consistently high scores on my ACT and AP tests, and I'm comfortable teaching advanced math (up to calculus 3), biology and chemistry as well as ACT/SAT test...

Hi! I'm Steven. I'm currently an undergraduate student at Rutgers University. I have an interest in STEM, but specifically in physics and astrophysics, which are the fields I'm majoring in. In the past school year I have dedicated my time to tutoring elementary and middle school children in New Brunswick, as well as expanding the tutoring program to a local elementary school. I am eager to help any students learn and perform better in school!

...students comprehension of the material at hand and then help the student construct an analytical argument. In subjects related to math, I review the foundational concepts in a certain topic before proceeding to assist the student with specific example problems. I always make sure to make my lessons enjoyable and relatable, so that the students attention remain on the subject matter. I am also very knowledgeable about standardized tests, particularly the ACT and many of...

...it is their first time taking it or they are hoping to increase their score, I am to develop a personalized study plan based on their time constraints, goals, and extracurricular obligations. I provide resources and mentoring to help master content as well as develop study strategies, since a fair part of success is knowing "how to take the MCAT". Afterwards, we typically go through applications, revise essays, and I help fine tune personal statements...

...than getting a child over his or her fear of a subject that they find difficult. It was not easy, but I have even managed to convince people that math is not some bizarre form of torture. It can even be fun. I promise! As a tutor my primary goal is not to teach towards specific problems. Rather, it is to establish strong foundations and to teach methods to figure out how to apply those...
