Award-Winning Calculus Tutors in Mount Vernon, NY

...qualified to tutor a wide range of subjects, including math, reading, writing, and sciences, from grade school through college level. I have received a Bachelor's degree in Science in Biochemistry (minors: philosophy and chemistry) from Louisiana State University. I also have extensive experience in basic science research, with a published paper. The combination of my real world work experience with my strong academic background allows me to make complicated information more relevant and understandable for...

I have been a tutor for over 2 years and have helped many students from the ages of 9 to 22. I have helped students study for tests, quizzes, college entrance exams, SAT an ACT tests, SAT subject tests, and AP exams. I specialize in Math and Science subjects because I am one of those weird people that enjoy those subjects very much! My favorite part of tutoring is getting to know my students and...

...Queens , NY, and I have spent years tutoring peers and students in both Physics and Mathematics, even those who have learning disabilities. When working in Physics, I came to realize that it takes people helping each other to truly understand the material, and I want to dedicate myself to helping people attain this knowledge. There are things more important than getting the answer and that is knowing how you got there.

...past, and while in college I often helped other students with their writing. I tutor many different subjects and enjoy prepping for tests, especially the SAT, ACT, and GRE, but my personal passions are English and History. I particularly love helping students to craft strong (and grammatically sound) essays on any subject by working from a compelling thesis statement to a detailed outline to an excellent and convincing final paper. I'm a very patient tutor...

...as soon as possible. Therefore, I applied and became a New York City Teaching Fellow, and am now certified to teach Adolescent Mathematics grades 7-12. This past summer, I taught 6th and 7th grade Math at a summer school in the Bronx. The summer before that, I taught literacy and writing to children in East Harlem. I am now currently the 7th Grade Math teacher at a middle school in the Bronx. Math is one...

...a fun subject once the understanding is there, and that is 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...

...high school and college level science teacher. I have taught chemistry, physics and environmental science at all levels including CP, Honors, AP and Dual enrollment. I have also taught IB Chemistry and IB Physics (SL and HL). In addition, I have tutored Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry, Pre-Calculus and Calculus. However, chemistry was my first love and it remains my favorite subject to teach. I have always loved science. But what I enjoy most is...

...ABOUT THEIR MATHEMATICAL ABILITIES OR INTEREST LEVEL, SO LONG AS THEY HAVE TWO THINGS: 1. A desire to learn the material (a desire to survive the course or test will do) 2. A teacher who is creative enough to understand how the student thinks, and can adapt lessons into the student's "own language" accordingly IF YOU BRING THE FORMER, I’LL BRING THE LATTER. My previous tutoring experience has taught me one thing above all else:...

...transmit one's own enthusiasm and curiosity to students. In my experience, once students are curious and engaged, teaching is much more effective and enjoyable. I have found this to be successful in lecture, laboratory, and individual tutoring settings. I am currently an adjunct lecturer in the physics department at the College of Staten Island, and I am working on my Ph.D. in theoretical/mathematical physics from Kent State University (Kent, OH). I have been tutoring and...

...understanding natural processes, particularly in biology and chemistry. In addition to tutoring I work in an active cancer research lab, and have hands-on experience with microbiology and molecular biology techniques. I like to teach with real-world examples, mnemonic devices, and visual aids; making connections and drawing one's own conclusions are lasting tools in learning that far surpass what memorization and rote work can achieve. I am also fluent in several languages, and enjoy teaching Italian,...
