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

Hi! My name is River Knight. I'm currently a student at New York University. I've actively worked as a tutor for the last 5 years. I hope to help my students find the joy in what they're learning and give them tools to improve on their own!

...to college level in Math and Physics subjects. I have done this through different tutoring scenarios ; from working 1-on-1 sessions, up to leading reviews in a classroom for over 100 students. Also, I have been exposed to virtual tutoring through the Tutoring for Engineering Excellence program, in which several topics were chosen to be discussed in video tutoring. Having exceeded in a challenging curriculum with math/and physics as its core fundamentals, I believe I...

...much so that I decided to major in Math during college and will graduate with a BA in Math in May 2015. I have taken all high school mathematics, all of calculus, linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, modern analysis, group and field theory, and number theory as well as classes in logic. I have had some formal tutoring experience with students in high school and some of my fellow students in college, and I have...

I believe my scientific and academic backgrounds combined with my unique life experiences of travel and running my own business give me a unique perspective to educate students. My formal learning is not as a teacher or educator, but I think that helps to give students a different perspective to learning science, technology, engineering and mathematics. I have taught English in Japan and have tutored various Math and Sciences over the years.

...is mathematics. I have experience working as a tutor at Queens Borough Community College. I have experience teaching students statistics, algebra, trigonometry, pre-calculus, and calculus 1 and 2. All subjects must have a solid foundation, but especially in mathematics, unless the basics are solid, you cannot move to the next level. If you don't fully understand algebra, you can't solve more difficult problems than algebra such as trigonometric functions and calculus. We help students who...

...one of the things I strive to help the students see. In order to fully grasp the material present in the "Calculus, the Differential Equations, etc.", students first need to understand the "Algebra, and the Trigonometry", and for that, students need to fully understand the concepts taught to them at an earlier age. Math is a subject completed in steps. You can't arrive at the top of the mountain without first overcoming the many obstacles...

I am currently enrolled in Columbia University, pursuing a degree in Civil Engineering. I have a genuine passion for tutoring math and find great satisfaction in helping others understand and excel in the subject. My approach to tutoring revolves around tailoring my teaching methods to meet each student's individual needs. My ultimate objective is to empower my students to gain the necessary skills and confidence to independently tackle mathematical problems.

...I have tutored in many subjects ranging from Calculus to Essay Editing to SHSAT prep, but my personal favorite is tutoring Chemistry. It is my favorite subject to learn, so helping others understand it allows me to solidify my own knowledge of it. My approach to tutoring anything, especially the harder subjects, is to always use relatable examples or metaphors to strike a connection in a student's mind. The more relatable a hard concept feels,...

Learning math is all about trial and error, that is why we use pencils! Math is a hands on subject where students learn by doing. That is the approach I take when teaching and tutoring math. I am merely a guide to keep students on the right path, rather than tell them where to go.

I am an artist, mathematician, and avid baker, and a goal of mine is to share my passion for math and science with my students. I studied both theatre and mathematics in college, so my outgoing personality tends to keep my students engaged while my strong math background allows me to give them the most straightforward answers to their questions.

As a self learner, I understand different struggles that students like myself might come across. I have a great passion for math and would love to share the tips and tricks that I have discovered that are application to not only the liberal arts but also in non academic activities as well.

...finishing my Master's Degree in mathematics at Stony Brook University. I have been tutoring children in mathematics for ten years and have taught children between the ages of five and twenty-two. While I tutor a wide range of topics in mathematics (everything from elementary school math to what would typically be taken by an undergraduate math major), I enjoy them all because of how much I learn while figuring out how best to explain a...

...the liberal arts and can provide meaningful tutoring across most subjects. Two of my favorite subjects to tutor are Mathematics because there are so many different ways to find the right answer and English because I love reading. I think the best way to help students learn is to empower them to find the answer by themselves. Outside of learning, I like fitness, film, and the arts. "A great teacher is someone who can learn...

...neuroscience, and minoring in Business. I am currently a teacher assistant for the Biochemistry class at Cornell, as well as a general tutor for classes ranging from Molecular Biology, to Organic Chemistry, to Calculus. My past tutoring experience also includes working at a tutoring service for standardized tests, such as SAT, ACT, AP, Regents, and Common Core. I have a strong background and interest in math, science (especially biology, chemistry, and physics), and economics, which...

...weighted considering those honors and AP classes. I am currently attending Rutgers University in New Brunswick pursuing my major in Urban Planning and Design and my minor in Psychology and possibly Italian as well. For my future career goals, I plan to live in a city, preferably Philadelphia, and be an urban planner and designer, redeveloping and revitalizing rundown neighborhoods by making them attractive to the public again. I want to leave my mark on...

...education as an engineer challenges me to learn new things every day and to figure out how things work. I graduated Columbia University (Master's Mech. Engineering) and The Cooper Union (Bachelor's Mech. Engineering) both with a 3.9 GPA so I know what it's like to study hard and excel in rigorous programs. One important way I got through my college and graduate school was to teach and be taught by others. This is why I...

...math, science, and programming. I enjoy breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps, tailoring my approach to fit each student's learning style. My experience includes assisting peers in subjects like algebra and programming, focusing on building confidence and critical thinking skills. My favorite subjects to tutor are math and computer science because they offer practical tools for problem-solving. I aim to foster curiosity and make learning both engaging and relevant. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy...

My love of mathematics and over 25 years of teaching experience provide me with the ability to motivate students, give them confidence, and make them successful math students.

...studying Mechanical Engineering. And now, I'm studying in New York University, majoring in Digital Media Design for Learning, a newer subject in the Education field. I had tutoring experience in College Algebra in Michigan State University. I held two recitations for students and graded their exams. In the recitation, I answered their questions and set some specific problems for them to solve. I also worked in the Math Learning Center where I answered questions from...

...years of experience working with students in both public schools and private learning environments. I specialize in helping students build confidence and achieve academic success, with a focus on Math, Economics, and standardized test preparation. I've supported students preparing for the SAT, ACT, AP exams, and state assessments, tailoring lessons to individual needs and learning styles. My approach is patient, clear, and encouragingI believe every student can thrive with the right guidance and support.
