Award-Winning Calculus Tutors serving White Plains, NY

...physics. Largely due to my focus on mathematics, my favorite subjects to tutor are within these fields as well: while any opportunity to explain new mathematical concepts to students is a great joy to me, I find that the breakthroughs students experience in calculus and basic algebra (Algebra I or Algebra II) are the most exciting, and those subjects are correspondingly my favorite to tutor. When I'm not tutoring or studying, I'm pretty reliably involved...

I graduated magna cum laude from Columbia University. I earned a B.A. in Biology and Economics. I'm currently working as a Research Associate during my gap year before medical school.

...editing experience, SAT verbal expertise, as well as fluency in Spanish, my first language. Speaking and learning foreign languages is one of the greatest joys in my life; 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...

...years in a variety of math and science based courses. At school, I've always helped tutor my friends in the courses we take together. Learning their habits, strengths, and weaknesses has allowed me to find out how they learn best, and then tailor my explanations to that style. My personal strength in communication has been as asset in all my tutoring. Everyone learns differently, and that's ok. I'm hoping to help students achieve their goals...

...as helping fellow college students in biology, math, and chemistry. Examples of my expertise include teaching a class at an SAT prep center, private tutoring for K-12 both in-person and online, serving as head teaching assistant for college-level biology, and working as a chemistry peer tutor for other students at my university. I use a wide range of virtual games, arts and crafts, physical activity, virtual simulations, and real-world problems to make tutoring sessions engaging...

...help with a variety of standardized tests, from the SSAT to the MCAT. I am very interested in helping students overcome test anxiety by learning strategies that can help them stay calm and be efficient. In particular, I want to help students who struggle with timed essays - I myself had to learn ways to complete them successfully, and I hope I can pass on some of these skills. Outside of school, I enjoy volunteering,...

...any skill or problem can be broken down into small steps and tackled bit by bit. This makes hard problems far less scary and produces steady reward for the solver. My role in your study will be to help you find the small components in a problem and tackle each one, and provide a patient voice of encouragement for you. If you practice solving any kind of problem this way, eventually you won't believe that...

...at Cornell University, and a recent graduate from Stuyvesant High School (a specialized high school in downtown Manhattan). I have much experience tutoring kids from ages 6 to 18 through the company Allen Mentoring in subjects such as physics, math, english, and history. I have scored a 34 on my ACT exam (out of 36). If you haven't found anyone already, I would be happy to be of assistance. Please let me know. I would...

...History, English Literature, Spanish, and Biology. I started doing standardized test prep by helping my younger sister study for both the PSAT and SAT on all three sections. When studying I love to make history fun, make math simpler and easier to understand, and help students feel calmer and more confident when taking tests. In my freetime, I like to explore everything New York City has to offer, including watching great Broadway plays, hanging out...

...and watching basketball (Go Bulls!), enjoying funny television shows (Louie is my favorite), and playing music (guitar & piano). I consider myself blessed to have a creative mind and spirit; I always endeavor to bring this creativity into anything I do. I am a big proponent of thinking outside the box. In tutoring, my motto is "teach a student to fish and they possess improved test-taking skills for a lifetime." Specializing in ACT/SAT test preparation...

...students struggling in a classroom environment. Sometimes teachers do not have the time to give sufficient personalized attention, the way a qualified tutor can. I believe that I can help motivate and encourage students who are currently having difficulty. I teach in a conceptual manner, encouraging deeper thought, rather than pure memorization. I have been a mathematics tutor for over twenty years. I started tutoring while attending the University of Pennsylvania in 1992. I have...

...these tests. I believe that every student is capable of boosting his or her baseline score on these tests, so long as he or she works hard to get to know the format of the tests and the most popular types of questions. I tutor because I love seeing students develop a genuine passion for the subjects they once disliked (such as math and science), once they understand the power of these subjects and their...

...passionate about education. While I enjoy tutoring many different subjects, my favorite is any facet of mathematics because it is fascinating to be able to explain the real world through numbers. Having gone through the rigors of standardized testing and having taught the material, I understand how to create an engaging and productive test preparation experience. My schedule is very flexible and I am happy to give as much of my time as needed. I...

Elementary Math After taking years of advanced math courses, I've developed a much deeper understanding of all the fundamentals, and I would love to share my understanding with those who are just learning. Geometry I got a 100 on the NYS geometry regents. I continue using geometry as a tool to solve problems. Physics I got an 800 on the Math SAT 2 and...

...in studying environmental science, and Russian. Throughout high school I volunteered with various organizations to help teach students everything from French to Taekwondo. I am most interested in Russian and Math, but tutor a wider range of subjects. I genuinely love learning, and I try to help others understand why certain subjects appeal to me, with the hope that they find their own reasons to be interested in the subjects. In my free time I...

...much beyond what is on the page. It teaches problem-solving, critical and creative thinking. I try not only to teach the mechanics of math, but instill an appreciation for the skills the process can develop. And while math is my favorite subject to tutor, I have had training in and am qualified for all sections of SAT and ACT test prep, and enjoy working with students to help them learn and meet their college goals.

...I have produced positive results. Among the techniques I employ as a tutor, I stress self-help strategies to ensure that students do not become dependent on the crutch of a tutor or teacher. Often, a student may work well with an instructor but is unable to solve problems or understand concepts alone. I make sure to prod students in the appropriate direction of thinking, without blatantly doing the problems for them. I do not give...
