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

...the learning capacity of young people: as a high school student in Florida, I volunteered at my Math Club's "Math Lab", an academic peer-tutoring session held every Monday for four years; as a college freshmen I was a tutor for Champion Learning, a company funded by No-Child-Left-Behind in order to aid struggling middle school students with the Common Core; as a full-time instructor, I managed classes for SHSAT and SAT and produced my own content...

I am an experienced tutor and teacher from Okinawa, Japan who recently graduated from Brown University and now lives in Brooklyn. I double-majored in economics and urban studies but most of my tutoring and independent teaching experience comes from high school math tutoring, teaching ESL to adults, and college application essay tutoring through Varsity Tutors. I was an ESL teacher for 4 years during undergrad, and also co-coordinated an adult ESL program in Providence, RI.

I have been a personal tutor and have also taught in group settings for over 5 years covering topics ranging from math and science to Korean and computer science. This emphasized the importance of being adaptable and using different teaching methods for different pupils. My philosophy is positive reinforcement as a motivational technique and a way to bond with the student.

...was to give students an extra hour of work per week to enhance their understanding of the subject. I also came up with example problems and challenge problems to complement their homework and better prepare them for exams. My senior year I was a TA for a junior level chemical engineering course. The work was similar to the workshop I taught, with the added responsibility of grading. In graduate school, I worked one-on-one with several...

I aim to give students the skills to approach any problem with confidence. Through active problem solving and diagnostics, even the most daunting assignments and problem sets can be deconstructed into digestible information.

...all A's in my calculus classes and have tutored math throughout my college career. I served as a teaching assistant for a discrete mathematics class, where I taught two discussion labs once a week. I love pushing students to reach their desired goals and I am a patient individual that caters toward a variety of learning styles. I incorporate the sessions with humor and practical examples to engage students. I understand that math can be...

...with a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Statistics. I have had a lifelong interest in math, which I was able to further develop with extra-curricular enrichment. One of the largest advantages of private tutoring is the increased engagement and attention between the student and material. I believe that fostering a love of mathematics is possible in any student and would be thrilled to help students both improve and become more excited about the subject. I...

...breaking every problem down into its component parts in a simple and straightforward way. Additionally, I will provide you with the resources that I myself, and other colleagues take advantage of to score in the top percentile of test takers. A 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...

...and engaging with people. It is so special to watch a student grasp a new concept that seemed entirely opaque only a few minutes earlier. I majored in theater and astrophysics at Columbia University and I am now a playwriting MFA at NYU, one of the best programs in the country (the story of how I transitioned from physics to theater is pretty funny and I???m happy to share it). While my intensive study of...

...concepts to the US classroom. I consider math and psychology as sciences and I believe the two can be used to understand each other. Besides math and psychology, as I've mentioned, I also tutor Chinese. In fact, I am currently tutoring an elementary student. Through my tutoring experience I have found ways to modify standards and to to gain feedback from my student. As I am a linguistic lover, I like to explore the language...

...and instead focus on its applications in the real world. Complex theories and ideas swarm though mathematics thus I am able to simplify these ideas for the new generation to understand. People have trust in me, and thus seek out my help for guidance and direction. Because of my education and background, I believe that I have the capabilities in spreading my philosophy on keeping ones own finances in order and directing people to invest...

...is as important as the actual subjects you wish to learn. I believe that my students best succeed when they develop an awareness of their educational strengths and weaknesses. I believe in emphasizing healthy study routines, the courage to learn from failure, and an openness to change. Like my students, I expect that I will also learn from my practice and refine my teaching style. I welcome open discussions of ways to improve each tutoring...

Hello, my name is Riley Northrop. I am a high school math teacher and a tutor! I have taught 7th grade math, algebra, and geometry. I have also tutored algebra 2, calculus, statistics, and physics! I love tutoring and can explain concepts in a way that will make sense!

...these fields. I believe learning happens best in a relaxed, safe, and encouraging environment. In college I have taken general chemistry, organic chemistry, biology, microbiology, calculus II, calculus III, mathematical logic and proofs, linear algebra, complex analysis, basic music theory, abstract algebra, real analysis, introductory astronomy, and general physics just to name a few classes. I researched the evaporation of fragrances in my school's chemistry department and I have also participated in mathematics research which...

...with students from kindergarten through eighth grade. I specialize in tutoring math, from elementary levels to Algebra 1, Trigonometry, Calculus 1 / AB, and SAT Math. In addition, I am also open to tutoring students in AP Economics and AP Computer Science A. My favorite subject to tutor is Algebra 1 because I believe this subject is the foundation for all higher levels of mathematics and it is important for students to be confident in...

...Physics and am currently looking to establish myself as a tutor in the NYC area. I have been tutoring for roughly a year and a half for a few families and have experience teach at multiple different levels. I find a lot of satisfaction in tutoring. One of the best feelings is helping a student and seeing that moment when everything finally starts to click. In my free time, I like to watch TV and...

...and AP Lit. I truly enjoy being able to use my knowledge to help others succeed. In terms of tutoring experience, during high school I was the Tutor Coordinator of my school and I spent my time tutoring underclassmen who were having difficulty preparing for the AP Macro and Micro exams. I also have been an accounting tutor at IU during my freshman year and I plan to continue to tutor accounting and other subjects...

...learner who tries to understand a topic conceptually before dealing with abstract numbers and equations, and have found that once I can visualize something, the equations involved in the topic begin to look much less scary. My view is that anyone can be taught any subject as long as it is taught in the right way (which is different for everyone), and my goal as a tutor is to not be proven wrong.... My teaching philosophy...

...joy that comes with learning. That joy - much the same in the processes that bring joy of games - is to be found everywhere in the nature of the human brain; a living computer; a vast of potential of weighted logic gates which give rise to the substance of what we call learning when we - by our activities - so organize them. Even the most bizarre or inspired art - so I attest...

I am a graduate from Binghamton University (B.S.) and the University of Maryland, College Park (Ph.D.), majoring in chemistry. After graduation, I have made an effort to tutor students in math and chemistry. I am an engaging and interactive tutor, I provide a detailed breakdown of complex problems and concepts.
