When they had trouble understanding the material, I could ask them questions about what they thought was...

...for solving problems was primarily based on pleasure. Richard Feynman's insight in 'Fun to Imagine' that 'the world is a dynamic mess of jiggling things if you look at it right' is simple yet startling, and his charisma is clearly evident in his biography 'Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!' His nervous presentation on the Wheeler-Feynman theory to Einstein et al. led me to Feynman's work in quantum electrodynamics, detailed in his book 'QED: The strange...

Long Island GRE Tutoring FAQ
The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) serves as one of the leading criteria for graduate schools in their admissions decisions. Exceptional GRE scores can give your chances to get into the graduate school of your choice a definite boost, even if your undergraduate GPA is not as high as other students vying for admission.
If you're searching for ways to increase your score on the GRE, a private tutor can be a big help. Varsity Tutors could help you connect with an independent tutor in Long Island who can assist you in preparing for the GRE. Since the GRE has both a general test and subject-specific tests, you can find a tutor who specifies in the test you'll be taking and get the individual attention you deserve.
The general GRE includes three sections. The math section includes questions that assess basic math knowledge and problem-solving skills. The verbal section tests your reading comprehension and ability to complete a sentence. The analytical writing section evaluates how well you present your answers by writing in a clear-cut, logical manner. A personal GRE tutor can point you toward how to answer questions in each of these sections by offering strategies and working through practice tests.
Our educational directors will match you with a GRE tutor in Long Island, NY, who is knowledgeable in a host of alternative teaching methods to best teach to your particular learning style. Although a lot of would-be grad school students spend thousands of dollars on test prep classes, practice test books, and off-the shelf test prep kits, these materials do not provide the individualized attention that a private tutor can. On an important test like the GRE, you may feel the stress of "test anxiety" as the exam day approaches. A seasoned GRE tutor can give you suggestions on how to understand test anxiety, such as going through demanding practice tests that will get you ready for the real exam.
Our educational directors in Long Island, NY, can find a tutor for you who can work with your learning style and abilities to potentially help you improve on the GRE. You can meet with a tutor in person at a time and place of your choosing. You can also work with a tutor through our online interactive learning platform, which features a real-time video link for instant communication. Call our educational directors to find an expert GRE tutor in Long Island to try to help you get ready on test day.
