Award-Winning Geometry Tutors in Suffolk County, NY

...Trigonometry, Precalculus, and AP Chemistry to students from my high school in Queens, New York. My passion for tutoring comes from a passion for knowledge in general. I value education, and I believe that every student has the potential to excel in school. Sometimes it takes a good tutor to bring out that potential, and that is what I strive to be. I especially love helping students develop problem solving strategies, which is why mathematical...

...love tutoring because it gives me a chance to share my passion for knowledge and learning with others. As a graduate student at the Teacher's College, Columbia University, I have learned that students respond best to individualized, interactive teaching that appeals to their interests and strengths. As a result, I like to think of tutoring as a collaboration with my students that will help them gain a firm understanding of the material while learning strategies...

...missed on the practice tests, again and again, until the ideas and understandings that form the solution become integrated into their current skill set. Complete explanations, which I review with them, point by point, are printed on the back, first by me, and then, by imitation, by them. I stress the quality of each of these seemingly obvious steps, because the effectiveness of my method depends upon all of them working together. I insist on...

...they finally get something, a new path opens to them and a new possibility appears. In my tutoring, the basics are emphasized. The basics are the foundation to understanding bigger and more complicated concepts. Without them, learning becomes a struggle. With them, it can be fun and easy. And when something is fun, students want to do more. It no longer is a fight to do assignments or practice. Practice is also key in my...

In addition, I have experience tutoring fellow classmates in courses such as physics, probability/statistics, and linear algebra; however, my favorite subject to teach is calculus and I've found it to be the most challenging to learn.

Outside of the classroom you can find me playing or watching sports, meeting with friends, and listening to music.

It doesn't hurt that I've had a lot of practice with the things I teach, but I am much more proud of my more personal achievements than of my test scores or good grades. Some of my students who "hated" reading and writing now devour books (or at least magazines) and churn...

...child I learned to appreciate being able to speak two languages. I love my Spanish culture and I also love the English language, so I decided to major in English and Spanish to improve my reading, writing and communication skills in both languages. My family, friends and teachers have inspired me to pursue a career in teaching. I love to learn and I love kids. I hope to be an amazing teacher soon, and if...

...ten percent of my graduating high school class. From there I began my degree in Biochemistry at Western Washington University, which I will receive in June 2015. I tutor chemistry, physics, biology and math. I also provide test prep for the SAT and MCAT. I have worked at my university’s tutoring center for over a year. This taught me to teach quickly and effectively. I never had more than 15 minutes with a student, but...

I'm able to tutor physics, math, chemistry, and biology from grades 7-12 and the collegiate level. For those looking to get straight A's throughout the semester or ace the regents, let's start the year off on the right foot. My teaching methods are excellent, and unlike most tutors, I bring fun and excitement to the subject, because...
