Award-Winning Differential Equations Tutors serving Yonkers, NY

Hi! I am a math and science enthusiast first and foremost. Officially though, I am Harvard Biophysics graduate student. I enjoy problem-solving, discussing science, and sharing my expertise with others.

I am passionate about working with all ages of students in a variety of subjects. I especially love the STEM subjects but am super excited to work with anyone! I have 5+ years of tutoring experience in a variety of areas, including full classroom, one-on-one, and special education.

Mathematics is a subject that I have thoroughly enjoyed throughout my school years. The challenge of thinking and the process of logic always attract me to Mathematical problems, however difficult and regardless of the form in which they come...

...calculus (or Calculus II, if you prefer). My philosophy when it comes to helping students learn is that it is always, and I mean always, about the students. It is our duty as tutors, teachers, and other kinds of instructors to always ensure a comfortable learning environment for our students and other people who look up to us, as well as to train them to be the best that they can be at the same...

My goal for every session is that every student comes away with a better understanding of the material. I did my BS in Mathematics, and Finance and a minor in Economics. While those subjects may sound daunting, I know that any concept can be understood with right explanation.

Shauna is a math teacher, who has also worked in the writing lab.

...then became an undergraduate teaching assistant for physics classes in college, helping students out with group work during class and holding my own weekly office hours. I loved not only teaching students how to solve problems, but also empowering them to get over the same hurdles I struggled with myself when I took those same courses my freshman year. The subjects I would love to tutor are MCAT studying, biology (including cell biology, neuroscience, genetics,...

...to, confidently and comfortably, approach subjects they have issues with. I usually start my tutoring sessions by providing my students with examples that shift their familiarity with the subject from uncertainty level to high level of certainty and clarity. After that, I test my students level of understanding the material by giving them enough time to think, exclude key words, and call related formulas for a great analyzing and solving any given problems. i like relaxing...

...theory, abstract algebra, real analysis, introductory astronomy, and general physics just to name a few classes. I researched the evaporation of fragrances in my school's chemistry department and I have also participated in mathematics research which led to four publications! I also gained experience working in an organic chemistry lab as an intern for 2 months. Tutoring is not only a great way to help others, but it also helps me to solidify concepts as...

...student at Stony Brook University I'm on track to complete my B.S in Applied Mathematics and Statistics with an aim to get my M.S in Statistics. Currently, I'm teaching Calculus 1/AP Calculus, AP Statistics/College level Statistics, Algebra 1/2, Pre Calculus, and Pre-algebra. I also do SAT mathematics prep. Statistics is the subject I'm most passionate towards, but calculus is also a very fun and in-depth field. My teaching style is very laid back. I pace...

...seem hard at first, but hard work really does pay off in the end. I think the best way to learn is to be open minded and willing to learn. My previous tutoring experience includes working with students from China who were taking the TOEFL exam. I like to teach by first letting the student try the problem on their own. Then, I like to go through each step of the problem with the student...

...classroom setting as well as online. My experience shows me that students are capable of overcoming most if not all academic barriers, provided they are given the right tools and support: that's how I can do my part as a tutor. I tutor Math, Physics, Chemistry, and Engineering Subjects. I always try to break down subjects as much as my student needs, making analogies or direct practical demonstrations, or connections to everyday phenomena.

...and assignments in advance, anticipating the points that would confuse students, reorganizing the lesson plans and assignment instructions to be as clear and intuitive as possible, and then continuing to adjust how I taught in response to questions and struggles of students was a rewarding challenge. Seeing the students reach their goals of understanding the lesson material and completing their projects on time was immensely gratifying. I've worked for over a year as a mechanical...

...on Antarctic ice sheet dynamics in a scientific journal. Outside of academia, I enjoy performing as an actor on the stage and screen. I am passionate about carrying artistic endeavors alongside academic pursuits. I tutor a wide array of academic subjects, and I am most excited about tutoring students in Earth Science, writing and reading skills, Algebra 2, Calculus at all levels, and Physics. I also enjoy tutoring for the ACT and AP exams (humanities...

...being that older students who have already taken the class may have a better sense of what helped them learn the material than a graduate TA or professor. I mainly tutor Math and Physics, and within these my favorite topics to teach are Newton Mechanics, Algebra, Calculus 1 and 2, Trigonometry and Differential Equations. I do my best to approach challenging topics in a variety of ways until we can find the method that best...

...in mathematics, especially statistics. While it is tempting and easy for students to simply want to know and teachers to want to teach "how to solve the problem", I believe that it is very important to understand why the question is solved the way it is. This helps people to understand not only how the problem is solved, but also helps to build their problem solving skills in general. Outside of academia, I enjoy a...

I believe that everyone has the ability to excel. I help my students to do this by working with them to understand the subject deeply. I try to make it seem easy, because nobody likes learning when it's hard.

...MBA with a concentration in finance, I am well acquainted with many of the various subjects taught by varsity tutors. The courses I have taken in financial derivatives, business statistics and corporate financial analysis have given me a broad base knowledge, as well as a forum for exploration. My personal goal is to use the knowledge I have gained combined with my experience teaching others to be a great tutor and overall resource for students.

I have a PhD in Mathematics and an MS in Statistics/Computational Finance from Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN. I have 6 years of university teaching experience in the Philippines and 6 years of teaching experience at Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN. I have also tutored for all levels here in the US and in the Philippines for more than 2 decades now.

...a different way. Coming to a problem - whether it be an essay, a math question, or a writing exercise - with a different frame of mind can help make learning fun and rewarding. I have over five years experience tutoring both groups and individuals and have taught all ages (my youngest student was 5 years old and my oldest student was 71!). I think it's important that both the student and the tutor feel...
