Award-Winning Calculus Tutors in Rensselaer County, NY

I graduated from Penn State in May 2016 with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering. I tutored for three years helping kids in freshman and sophomore level math, physics, and chemistry courses. I have tutored groups and individuals. I am an extremely friendly person who loves teaching! The best way to teach a student is to have them answer problems on their own. As a tutor, I am there to help students reach the answer, not to be there for the answer. Specifically, I ask students difficult, but practical questions to get them thinking in the right direction. I want my students convinced they can figure problems out on their own because when it's test time... I won't be there!

...high schoolers. I've also tutored community college students professionally in college algebra and calculus. I believe that the best way to learn is collaboratively and interactively. I teach by working together with my students to tackle problems and develop a firm grasp on the bigger picture. I'm passionate about math and science and improving education...

...extremely diverse knowledge base. I tend to excel at putting people at ease and breaking complex concepts down into intuitive shorthand. I have some personal experience working with students with special needs as I myself have learning disorders which have made academics difficult for me, and yet I have made it to graduate studies.

...to help students set and achieve their mathematics goals. In addition to answering specific homework questions I have a lot of experience designing lessons that cover a variety of topics from subjects including Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and AP AB Calculus. I am excited about math, excited about science, and excited about...

...because it has so many real life applications and the logic behind it is fascinating to me. When I teach I focus on giving simple explanations and analogies regardless of how complicated a topic is. When tutoring I usually give some background on the subject and show an example problem. Then I ask my students...

...because by tutoring, I developed a better understanding of the topics I was teaching. In College, I am still involved in peer tutoring among my friends and classmates. Outside of classes, I spend a lot of time singing in an a cappella group, working in a chemical engineering lab, and playing soccer.

...tackling new mathematics and helping students view their work at different angles that might help them come to an understanding of the subject. Being able to do math, not just arithmetic, is an ability that every student has and I believe that together we can figure out how to let that ability shine.... I believe that all students can be good at math; they just need a push in the right direction. I believe students learn better when they find the approach that works best for them, even if it might not be exactly how the curriculum wants them to approach it. By gaining a basic understanding, I believe that students can more easily adapt and learn the patterns that the curriculum wants them to adapt to and understand.

Math is simple, but if you don't have its strong foundation, then you will think it's the hardest subject in life.

...I'm currently working towards my Bachelor degree in Computer System Engineering and Computer Science. I've tutored for paid and as a volunteer for about 4 years now, working predominantly with seniors in high school and below. If I seem like a good fit for you, message me and I'll be more than happy to help!

...enjoy very much teaching students science and math and motivating them for future careers in technology. I look forward to helping you achieve your academic goals. We need bright minds to push technology limits that can solve complex problems and increase the standard of living in our society with more advanced devices.... Teach from the bottom up-- students need to understand 1st principles to solve a complex problem- avoid just simply memorizing equations; emphasize fundamental understanding.

Experienced, friendly, and outgoing tutor. I will be happy to work with you!

...requires you to be a 'Jack of All Trades'. Almost every subject from high school could be used on a day-to-day basis, which helps keep a lot of that material fresh. I'm happy to help with Physics, Algebra, AP Math/Science/English, Economics, as well as any other regents or accelerated class you might have issues with....

...Physiology from Georgetown. I have been tutoring for a decade and have worked as a personal tutor for children with disabilities. I hope to be an OB/GYN in a rural community after finishing my MD. In my free time, I try new recipes, read, and go on nature walks. I love to help people reach...

I received a double major in computer science and applied mathematics from SUNY Polytechnic Institute. While I was there, I worked as a tutor in our learning center. I enjoy helping people and seeing them grow.

...I was able to better understand their struggles and confusions. I continued in university where I would help friends through subjects I recently completed and walk through concepts that the teacher struggled to make relatable. Even as an engineer in the professional world today, I am constantly teaching other whether it is explaining an idea...

...I and II, differential equations) and physics (general physics I and II, modern physics, astrophysics), with the subjects I enjoy teaching most being astro-related. The ability to introduce students to the awe of the cosmos and its mechanisms is one of the most valuable fruits I have obtained from this hat. My hobbies include Rocket...

As a current senior Mathematics Education major at Siena College, I am very familiar with the curriculum and concepts required to be successful in NYS Middle and High School Mathematics. I am a firm believer that all students can and will learn through the merits of their teacher. I'm looking forward to working with you!

...in the same major (Computer Science) or had similar career goals. This program aimed to be professional while creating a friendly relationship between the mentors and students. I provided answers and guidance to the students who shared my major or career goals. I also liked to help my fellow classmates whenever they had questions about...

...of Stevens Institute of Technology with a degree in Chemical Engineering. I work at Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Thursday through Sunday 10PM to 8:30 AM. I am pretty proficient in chemistry and most levels of math thanks to studies in college. Besides the technical background, I am a comic book nerd and huge Harry Potter fan.

...am a 4th year undergraduate physics student at RPI. I grew up in Brooklyn, New York. Education is a passion for me. I have years of experience in tutoring and teaching in math, science, English, history, geography, and various other fields. I am dedicated to helping you succeed in whatever it is you want to...
