Award-Winning Calculus Tutors serving Smithtown, NY

I am an honors graduate of CUNY Queens College, and have been successfully tutoring for about three years; primarily high school math. My style is very focused on getting to know an individual student and the way they learn, and figuring out exactly why they are struggling.

I am an incoming, second year Physics student at Tufts University. I have strong math and science skills, and experience instructing people of all ages from three seasons of professional ski instructing. I am excited to work with students looking to gain a deeper and clearer understanding of math and physics. Together we will practice analytical, problem solving skills and become more proficient in applying math to all kinds of problems in an effective, intentional...

...have experience tutoring students in a variety of areas, but I am most passionate about STEM subjects, namely Physics and Mathematics. I believe that while students find these subjects interesting, many students are not in the correct mindset to properly grasp certain concepts. I steer students toward this mindset through patience and detailed, step-by-step lesson plans that individual students can relate to. In my spare time, I enjoy travelling, learning guitar, learning new languages, swimming...

...makes it easier to teach the other maths after. Math is Logic. It should not be hard. Sometimes tedious, but not hard. If you are not understanding or struggling at math then you are simply not being taught in a way you understand. I like playing handball, soccer, football, and video games such as super smash, Dragonball Z, and league of legends. I love food, so I love going different places to eat and cooking...

...old enough to attend school, I began to teach. We were living in France, and I went to teach English as a second language and mathematics in middle and high schools. My best reward is when meeting former students; they remind me of what I taught them. It means that they still remember what they learn with me after all this time and that makes me proud. When I am not preparing classes or teaching,...

...subjects such as Mathematics and Physics, as I am able help students go through the problems and see the bigger picture. Being a Math and Physics geek myself, I feel content when a student is able to see through the obstacles that come up when solving a math or physics problem, and appreciate the beauty of the subjects. Being an immigrant myself and knowing the value of education, I find it important to help students...

Hi, I'm Ivan, and I'm passionate about mathematics, writing, and machine learning. I'm interested in how machine learning will influence our world in the coming years. I'm especially interested in Natural Language Processing, as writing has always been part of my life, and now I want to help computers write themselves into consciousness. See you in class!

...navigate complex concepts. I thrive on creating a supportive and engaging learning environment, utilizing a student-centered approach that emphasizes understanding through visualization and resourcefulness. My experience as a peer tutor at my college's math center, combined with my work with middle school students through community service, has equipped me to connect effectively with learners of all ages. I am dedicated to fostering academic success and instilling confidence in my students, while also enjoying hobbies such...

...if there is something they don't understand so I can explain it to them. I also tend to give them hints or I rephrase the questions I ask them so they can hear it differently and maybe formulate an answer more easily. Strangely, I have found that some of the strategies I use in tutoring math can also be used effectively in tutoring other subjects; for example, I always ask the student what they???re working...

...Pre-Calculus tests. I have provided classroom instruction at Port Jefferson High School while assisting the Calculus teacher with students and their mathematical learning needs and their homework. I am very passionate about tutoring Calculus 1 and enjoy seeing my students succeed in their studies. From my college experience, Calculus 1 provides many fundamental concepts that apply in many real-world applications such as Physics and Economics. My belief in the importance of learning mathematics is rooted...

...the end of the day, I just have experience tutoring. I know how it works and how to get results. Most times the student's actual problems aren't addressed and the interaction between student and tutor is very passive and does not garner results. I work with the student and ensure that all concepts are thoroughly ingrained before moving on to the next one. When I'm not enriching young minds, I enjoy performing stand up comedy....

...with a math degree from Stanford University, and am currently pursuing a PhD in history at the University of Washington. While new to Varsity Tutors, I have years of experience as a private tutor, as well as classroom teaching experience as a Teaching Assistant. For me, tutoring is very student-directed. My teaching style emphasizes flexibility and exploring the kind of learning most suitable to each student. My teaching style also emphasizes understanding how to use...

...spent teaching myself the material. Independent studying is good because you come up with different ways to learn the material, which is helpful when teaching someone else. The rest of my time was spent participating in study groups, where colleagues and I would teach each other. From my previous experience as a student and as a tutor, I have learned that understanding a subject depends greatly on how the material is presented. That is why...

...importance of understanding the greater context of the subject into which the specific skills to be learned fit. I find this method to be successful in easing the learning process, particularly in mathematics, as it helps students both to see how the various topics they are learning fit together and to retain the knowledge in the long term. As an added benefit, it also helps to fill any gaps in their education from previous years...

I am a second year student at Dartmouth College studying math and computer science. I have tutored computer science courses for Dartmouth's Tutor Clearinghouse. Prior to coming to Dartmouth, I studied violin at Juilliard Pre-College for six years. I am an avid fencer and I am currently on the Dartmouth Fencing Club Team. I am fluent in German and enjoy traveling around Europe. I also enjoy spending time hiking and riding my bike in the...

I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to...

I am a recent graduate from Princeton University interested in using my diverse skills set to tutor middle and high school students. I have studied in both public and private institutions in New York state and I am familiar with Regents, AP, SAT and IB exams.

Additionally, my volunteer experiences in academic tutoring, youth mentoring, and college success coaching have resulted in valuable insight on the success of lessons based on results from student assessments that I evaluated, indicating my commitment to continued learning and growth. I truly believe that we...

...way that they are. Over the course of my tutoring career I have found this approach to be far more effective in the long run. If you give a students a robust base of knowledge and the tools to build off of it, you empower them to learn new topics by themselves, tackle test questions that they haven't seen before, and leave them with broadly applicable skills that will help them long after their class...
