Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors in Nassau County, NY

...teaching, tutoring, and mentoring students from grades 6-12 and college in a variety of subjects since! I specialize in mathematics and science tutoring as well as standardized exam preparation. In the past, I have helped students achieve significant improvements and success on the SAT, SHSAT, Regents and other exams! I truly believe education is a mutual learning and teaching opportunity and enjoy helping my students achieve a thorough understanding (those "Aha!" moments) and appreciation of...

...part of the tutoring experience if they are not the primary force behind solving the problems they bring to me, and as a result I consider myself as more of a resource to guide the student to the right solution rather than a solution manual to consult or a teacher to recapitulate a lecture. Of course, if what the student needs is a further explanation of lectured material, I am also happy to provide that,...

I am currently studying Economics and East Asian Studies at Columbia University. Outgoing by nature, I have a teaching method that is very interactive. During a tutoring session, my students should expect a dialogue rather than a lecture. I have a background tutoring Math and Mandarin Chinese to students ranging from Elementary School to College.

...then worked as self-employed tutor for a few months before starting a teaching fellowship in Colombia, where I taught high school English. 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 success in school...

...and I start medical school at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell in the summer of 2019. I grew up in Long Island, and I have been tutoring for many years. Throughout high school I tutored students for regents and AP exams. I was an AP scholar with distinction, and received the NYS Board of Regents Scholarship for Academic Excellence. I also worked for a local test prep company, where I tutored the ACT,...

...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 based in those...

...I'm currently refining French and taking "Intensive Portuguese for Spanish Speakers." It's a life-long process. And yet, I believe foreign languages are best learned in big, joyful leaps, most often with the patient and persistent help of a tutor. I set goals with my tutees and work steadily and optimistically, both with and alongside them, until we have met every goal. Sometimes this happens earlier than planned, sometimes later. I approach the study of language with...

...students simultaneously. In the recent years at the school, I have been focusing more on the Reading portions of standardized tests but have at times assisted students in the math and science portions as well usually one-on-one. I strongly believe that every students has their own style of learning and must learn at their own pace. Although, sometimes giving them too much leeway may not always be the best solution, I am there to also...

...in mathematics and the sciences. In college, I taught a weekly class to local high school students interested in learning about neuroscience. Since college, I have continued tutoring students on a weekly basis in a wide variety of subjects. I graduated from Middlebury College in 2012 with High Honors in Neuroscience, and now plan to attend medical school. I am a diligent worker and consistently ensure that I am prepared to meet the student's needs....

...way that fits into his or her reality. Students tend to be averse to things that are not fun. I make learning fun. For my students I custom-tailor a curriculum based on my own scientific research into the nature of learning. I use a combination of excel including Gantt charts, spaced-repetition, critical thinking, and Socratic questioning. The two most lessons that I teach to my students: 1. tolerance of uncertainty; and 2. confidence in your...
