Award-Winning English Tutors in Smithtown, NY

...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 NYC school system. Aside from academics, I enjoy writing/...

...but a skill in helping others understand mathematics. I believe that math is a beautiful tool in everyday life, and I seek to help others understand why math is both important and useful in their lives. Many traditional mathematics courses focus on rigor, theory, and proofs, which does not help the student understand how they can apply those concepts to everyday life. I like to work with students to help them understand how the concepts...

My love for teaching and tutoring stems from my experience growing up on a sailboat in the Bahamas and Florida. I was an only child, home-schooled from age 5 through age 18, so I was accustomed to learning independently, immersed in a constantly changing educational environment.
