Award-Winning Intermediate Algebra Tutors serving Mount Vernon, NY

...academic standards but also to be critical thinkers and curious, well-informed human beings. I recently completed a dual degree at Indiana University and moved to New York to take a gap year before beginning graduate school. As a scholarship student at IU, I majored in economics, cognitive science, and piano performance. Outside of tutoring, you can find me playing or teaching piano, doing jigsaw puzzles, watching TED talks, running, or trying a new food or...

...currently finishing up that self-indulgent, semi-autobiographical first novel. I think it's great---we'll see if anyone else agrees. I attended the Brunswick School in Greenwich, CT from 2002-2006. I worked hard, and I did very well. I was admitted early to Harvard my senior year, where I enrolled in Fall 2006. Long story short, my father was chronically ill, and I left school to help care for him. He required more care, and for longer, than...

...often get frustrated, angry, exhausted, and stressed after working on problem sets in physics and/or mathematics for an excessive amount of time and still cannot find a reasonable solution to solve the problem. There are also times when students are unable to start. My job as a tutor is to ensure that they can fully overcome these obstacles and solve the problems with ease in a coherent and thorough manner without any difficulty. The way...

I'm looking forward to helping!

...and high school students improve their grades and/or prepare for standardized tests. While I'm comfortable teaching in many subject areas, my specialty is standardized test preparation. In addition to having a strong understanding of the subject matter covered on these exams, test-taking strategy is a strength of mine, including time management and general multiple choice strategy. I was a National Merit Scholar and AP Scholar with Distinction in high school and I enjoy helping others...

...in-home tutor during both my undergraduate degree and master's degree. Tutoring has typically been long-term, with a couple of short-term or one-off students. I tutored students between the ages of 11 to 16 years old, primarily with Mathematics, but also with English, Physics, and basic Chemistry. During this time, my experience teaching Mathematics has been in the fields of arithmetic, geometry, trigonometry, algebra, and pre-calculus. I have also tutored a few of my college-aged friends...

...strongest subjects are any science or math related subjects at any level. I tutor any science including biological sciences (biology, ecology, genetics, immunology, pathology, human anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, neuroscience and others), as well as other science courses including chemistry courses and physics courses, in addition to earth science. I also tutor math, including algebra, geometry and trigonometry. I can also help write papers and proofread for errors and content of any subject, and help write...

...believe that performing well in math and science is about learning how to study the right way for the specific subjects. I understand that each individual should use tools specific to their learning style. I am passionate about making my students see that they are capable of doing well in their classes. I look forward to instilling self-confidence in their coursework. In my free time, I enjoy exploring my local city, traveling and practicing yoga.

...and managing educational time. I love playing with my three children and working with them. I like to keep up with my own reading and writing when I can, and I also volunteer to teach SAT mathematics (a subject in which I have a geeks need to study and learn more about all the time!). I have a new-found interest in art after teaching "Learning to Look" for my son's class. I've been known to...

...help. Coming fresh out of college with my degree in engineering has paved the way for me to help students that might be struggling or need help in getting ahead. I have tutored many of my classmates, and other undergraduate students in college, but more importantly I have worked as an instructor at the local Mathnasium for over a year. During my time at the Mathnasium, I have learned many teaching methods and how to...

...I used as an engineer in Italy, as an MBA student at CUNY, and in my PhD coursework at Cornell University. Also, it is the same approach I successfully shared as a teacher with math students of the Bronx Community College and Operations Management students of Baruch College and the Cornell Graduate School. Whether statistics, management or psychology majors, or new freshmen, they usually are able to grasp the "grammar rules" of a linear algebra...

...world around them; from the smallest particles to the biggest celestial bodies. My passion lies in science, and I take pride in making learning fun and comprehensive. Likewise, I love to find the passion within all my students, and find ways to relate those passions back into our lessons. I am comfortable with tutoring through all grades, and am great with kids and making sure their studying time is time well spent. I focus primarily...

...sometimes they simply require the right push. As a tutor it is my mission to help every student reach his or her potential. I accomplish that by adapting my tutoring technique to the specific style of the student. Mathematics has always been a subject that has come easily to me. Growing up I received A's in all my math classes, and for me, it just clicked. Thanks to my personal successes in math, tutoring math...

...I'm a web developer! My academic success is linked to the amount I studied; however, I owe the majority of it to the wonderful professors and tutors I've had in my life. They've shown me that everyone has the potential to become a top student. I've been tutoring for over 4 years now and in that time, I've learned a ton of effective teaching methods. I've also learned many that don't work at all -...

...and GRE. As a math teacher for the last 2 years, I've found that students often aren't given enough time in the classroom to fully grasp new concepts before moving on to new material. This often leads to "gaps" in their knowledge, which are hard to fill without providing them with 1-on-1 help. This is how I can benefit my students the most, by providing the the 1-on-1 attention they need. When I start with...

...good book or feeling the thrill of excitement at finally solving a difficult math problem, I feel that learning should be fun and viewed as a challenge, not a chore. Throughout my academic career, I have been a well-rounded student, excelling in math as well as language and literature. I am a notoriously good test-taker, a skill developed from solid study habits that I hope to pass on to future students. For me, tutoring is...

...Currently, I am pursuing a Master's degree in Telecommunications and Optics Engineering at the City College of New York. I started tutoring mathematics shortly after my first semester in college. I love every branch of mathematics, but I tend to gravitate towards Calculus due to its beauty and effectiveness in describing and modeling natural phenomena. However, I feel equally pleased tutoring other math subjects, including, but not limited to: Differential Equations, Algebra, Trigonometry, Linear Algebra,...

...I worked for "Say Yes to Education" for a year to help urban high school students to prepare for the SAT test and New York State regents in the Syracuse area. Helping students to work out questions with efficient methods instead of feeding them answers is my teaching strategy. With six years in higher education, I do know how to deliver my knowledge to students smoothly and effectively. I feel comfortable to help you with...

...I understand that tutors are quintessential. I want to be a tutor because I want to help other students as I was helped growing up. I wish to reaffirm to them that they are bright and that struggling is a part of growth. My passion was especially apparent when I worked at Summer Enrichment Academy: Empowering Ourselves Organization during the summer. I worked out of a church in Brooklyn tutoring students who were struggling in...
