Award-Winning Biology Tutors serving Nassau County, NY

...I pushed to get the best scores I could, but something was wrong. I had a lack of direction. I needed a mentor. When I had my first mentor, I wasn't sure he would be the right one. We worked together for some time, but some of his characteristics were not compatible with my liking. After about two more mentors, I finally selected an intelligent, organized, and serious mentor that was heavily invested in my...

...to Costa Rica to learn about being a doctor), and the SAT (okay, maybe *favorite* is a stretch). I also teach chess, but that's more of a hobby. I also enjoy reading, creative writing, and perfecting the poached egg (the key is vinegar). In my spare time I act, perform improv, and think about how great dogs are. As a tutor, I believe my greatest strength is that I am not a textbook. I'm here...

So far I love my teaching position as it not only brings me happiness in helping others succeed, but it helps me build a stronger understanding on how to be a better instructor. When I teach, I try not to lecture the student, but engage them by connecting what I teach with real-life scenarios. Especially in hard sciences like biology,...

...work individually with each student to pinpoint their exact areas of need. I believe that the time that a student spends with their tutor is precious and needs to be utilized most efficiently if the student is going to succeed. After reviewing the student's previous work and/or test scores, together, we set up a curriculum that works to strengthen his or her weaknesses whether that be reading comprehension, grammar skills, algebra, test taking tips, time...

Having taught students in various subjects before, and as a college student myself, I believe that the best teaching approach is one that caters directly to the student's needs-whether it's through lecturing or more personalized attention.
