Award-Winning Biology Tutors serving White Plains, NY

...passionate about foreign languages, the humanities, and social sciences. I received four consecutive gold medals on the National Latin Exam when I was in high school, so I am eager to help students who are struggling with the subject.

I have wanted to be a teacher from a rather young age, and I am grateful to have the chance to help dedicated...

...cardinal importance to equally value the successful communication both of elementary topics, such as algebra 1 or German word order, and complex ones, such as deontological critiques of utilitarian ethics. By valuing all levels of difficulty, I am able to give students a firm foundation, with which they can grasp truly complex ideas in the topic at hand and in their future learning. While my interests in the areas described are powerful and abundant, I...

...year). I've been tutoring for years, first as a high school student helping my peers as a member of the National Honors Society, and later to help students prepare for standardized tests like the SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams. I'm also a Senior Staff Writer for Columbia's student newspaper, the Daily Spectator, so I'm pretty much constantly editing and giving advice to my fellow writers. I love sharing my excitement for learning with...

...with my peers throughout the years. I am a team-player, and hope to use this attribute to work with my students to reach their goals. Thus, I would describe my tutoring philosophy as entirely facilitative - I want to be there to help my students reach their goals on their own. Personally, my interests shadow my studies, but extend beyond them as well. I am matriculating to medical school next year, and am passionate about...

...to learn a subject, especially one that can cause as much frustration as math sometimes does. Simply learning material in order to take a standardized test, or memorizing facts and formulae without being exposed to how or why they work, is tedious and difficult, and ultimately can leave students feeling defeated if they are struggling. When guided by someone who is passionate about a subject, and allowed to discover certain concepts on their own, students...

...doesn't. In tutoring, I focus on results, but not to exclusion. I want to provide the student with a meaningful experience. That is to say, I aim to cultivate an appreciation for math, science, and/or the humanities that will last into college and their career. Unwilling to compromise my love for language or my affinity for math and problem solving, I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Computational Linguistics, the interface between computer science...

...not know how to solve. Additionally, I always find that my students have the greatest level of success as I foster great tutor/student relationships. I set high expectations for my personal academic achievements and expect the same from my students. I often serve as a role model for my students. My experiences as a National AP Scholar, graduate of Columbia University with a Bachelors in Neuroscience, and my matriculation into a top 20 MD program...

...exam you could think of. I was also a National AP Scholar. I majored in Physics and Biochemistry at NYU, and published several papers as well as patents through my research. I tutor well over 135 subjects, but my favorite subject to tutor is the MCAT and Physics. I've never taken a break from tutoring, which has honed my intuition for not only acing exams but for understanding exactly how to work with students of...

I am currently interviewing for medical school for matriculation in August 2017. I have a variety of teaching and tutoring experiences, including working as a self-employed tutor, an organic chemistry teaching assistant, and a high school English teacher. I primarily tutor math, science, the MCAT, and Spanish. I recognize that...

...from reading to business to Math for the past 7 years! Nothing is more satisfying than seeing the pieces fall into place for a student who has previously been struggling with a topic. I firmly believe that learning can be interesting when placed into context. To get to know I'll tell you a little more about myself. Since graduating I've begun working at a software company in NYC. In my free time, I love reading,...

...may bring for a student. I know first-hand what it is like to struggle with a subject in school or have trouble managing my time, so I will bring my own experiences and solutions, along with unique and personalized teaching strategies to each student. Aside from being dedicated to education, I am also dedicated to having fun. It is a common misconception that fun and learning are not connected. There is no better way to...

...on a Socratic, discussion-based method where I encourage my students to not only work through problems but to explain them back to me, to help build confidence in their own understanding of the material while cementing concepts in their minds. I also heavily emphasize developing intuition as opposed to rote memorization. If a student can learn the foundational ideas that underlie the sciences, they will be able to work their way through any future problems...

I am extremely passionate about teaching (both my brother and mother are teachers) and truly look forward to sharing some of the tools I have developed along the road with others.

I expect to enter medical school in 2016 and until then am enjoying this chance...

I am currently a student at Macaulay Honors at Brooklyn College, part of the BAMD Program. Teaching has always been a favorite past time of mine, and I tend to excel in science and writing classes. My goal is to help everyone I can with these subjects and more! ... Using positive reinforcement and showing them how they have improved from the beginning.

...is very methodical; I identify and isolate issues, while imparting fundamental knowledge and problem solving tips. The key to mastering any subject-I believe- is the ability to identify and understand grey areas and edge-cases in the material. I help my students identify these critical questions and answer them to the best of my abilities. I will admit, however, when I don't know the answer to a question. Rather than mislead my students, I always prefer...
