Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors in Smithtown, NY

...am very interested in how people learn things, and how they understand the phenomena around them. Due to this fascination, I have spent many hours trying to figure out what makes certain learning techniques "better" than others, and I have become well versed in a variety of teaching styles. Personally, I learn through understanding, and try to teach others through that same understanding. In my spare time I like to practice piano, guitar, and, of...

Having taught students in various subjects before, and as a college student myself, I believe that the best teaching approach is one that caters directly to the student's needs-whether it's through lecturing or more personalized attention. I also think that learning should be an enjoyable experience and not feel like a chore which is why I teach in an interactive and exciting manner.

...both science and humanities but am especially passionate about tutoring essay-writing and Test Prep involving verbal reasoning. I also love helping with admissions essays whether for college, medical school, or anything else. I've tutored many types of students in the past, so I can work with any type of student, but I'm an especially good fit for science students trying to improve writing/verbal skills or pre-med students. I love to approach tutoring with a sense...

...especially when I see the "light bulb" go off in someone's head and a concept that has been giving difficulties is finally understood! My teaching approach is very flexible and catered to the individual that I am working with because I believe that everyone has their own preferences and different learning styles. I try to present information in an engaging and simple way and often in more than one way for a better understanding.

...student, I volunteered as a teaching assistant for a middle school science class. During college, I spent six months as a GED tutor, working with adults.

...communicate with and assist students in math subjects such as Algebra and Calculus in programming languages such as C++ and even Middle School subjects. The students I work with have been able to successfully complete homework assignments and prepare for exams.

Helping students to...

...Tutoring is a beautiful composition of art and science. One must understand both the material and the student. Not just simple comprehension, but in what manner the comprehension is reached. I enjoy breaking down problems into logical sub-units. First, the underlying equations (or axioms, or vocabulary, or processes) must be understood, preferably on an instinctual level, as it is easier to remember ideas when they make sense at a core level. Then these ideas are...

After college, I spend two years teaching English in the public school system in Japan before...

I believe that one of the biggest flaws in education is the lack of intimacy between teachers and their pupils. Instead of teaching students en masse, a more optimal approach is to make each lesson fit for the particular student. I have carried out this philosophy while tutoring in the past and I intend to continue doing so in the present and in the future.... The exact approach to responding to difficulty learning varies based on...

...the opportunity to explore Common Core expectations in ELA and Mathematics. Many of my students utilize Singapore Math, Go Math, Math in Focus, Eureka Math, or Prentice Hall Math curriculums, and I have developed quite a familiarity with these texts. I have worked with over 500 students in preparing for the Living Environment, Earth Science, and Chemistry New York State Regents in the last 4 years. I work with a range of resources including the...

...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 whatever they choose to study! In the future, I seek to pursue clinical and pedagogical medicine...

...Socratic Questioning and is highly interdisciplinary. It is never a one-way stream of information. I will be asking you a lot of questions along the way. The two most lessons that I teach to my students: 1. tolerance of uncertainty; and 2. confidence in your own self-efficacy. Everyone can attain mastery. I never doubt. Anything can be learned, if you breathe, accept that you are a beginner, and give into the process. To learn how...

...year. I've also worked as a teacher for a high school class for a few months. I have a good handle on math and science subjects. I also like tutoring test prep subjects to share my tips and tricks. You'll probably hear a sports analogy or two while working with me :) I like mixing up my tutoring style to engage students and hope to learn as much from them as they do from me.

...tutor is to provide clarity and context - to act as a guide in learning, not an answer key. I understand how to deconstruct complex ideas into basic concepts and to build knowledge on strong fundamentals. Rather than bombard a student with information, I want to communicate and receive feedback to understand how they learn. One-on-one tutoring allows students the opportunity to learn at their own pace which is especially important for those in the...

If the students can connect the lessons with their interests, desires and motivations; the students will be fully ready, willing and able to learn and retain the information from the lessons on a consistent basis. I've spent most of my teaching...

...I personally enjoy tutoring SAT Critical Reading and Physics the most. To me, language is beautiful and I love exploring and discussing the mechanics of analyzing literature (as students must do on the Critical Reading Section). Physics, on the other hand, explains many of the wondrous everyday phenomenon around us. As a child, I would often think about why things moved the way they did and physics gave me those answers. I enjoy traveling and...

...first, it was hard to make Jared motivated; every time he got a wrong answer, he would become discouraged. As we continued to work together, I realized that if I wanted to fuel his interest in the subject material, I would have to use the idea of positive reinforcement. I went through the old regents exams and chose questions that were relatively easy. His confidence level started boosting up as he started to get correct...
