Award-Winning ISEE- Lower Level Tutors serving New York City, NY

...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 tutoring. The more practice there is, the more comfortable a student will feel. No one wants to do something discomforting, so comfort and, once again, understanding, is of utmost importance. Overall, my goal is to make sure you feel comfortable in your classes or for your tests and are...

...tutoring young kids on the fundamentals of reading and writing. I also enjoyed math as a young kid and enjoy tutoring in that subject area as well. I am a strong believer in teaching students at their own pace. When it's one-on-one time, I make sure that we start with material that the student feels comfortable with to build on their level of confidence, which is an attribute that rarely gets enforced in a large...

...implement a well structured learning hour. A lesson will consist of modeling for the student, student practice by motivating students and focusing on their strengths while gently helping them with their academic weaknesses. In the last five minutes of each session, I incorporate writing in a journal, so students can write down goals and ideas about their school day or even one new concept they have learned and mastered. Later on in time, students can...

...settle down, given its diverse and exciting population. I taught science to elementary school children in rural parts of Eastern China as president of uLAB, a non-governmental organization whose goal was to encourage engagement and excitement in budding students. Though I am versed in many areas, I most enjoy tutoring Mandarin, Math, and English. There's a definite gratification, too, in honing the skills to ace standardized tests. I hope to impart that enjoyment on a...

...For the past fifteen years, I have focused on SAT, ACT, SSAT and ISEE prep, which I really enjoy. Over these fifteen years and literally hundreds of students, I have honed my style and skills. I develop strong rapport with my students, seek out their individual needs, foster healthy improvements in their scores and work to build their confidence. I have a small backyard nursery, and I spend much of my personal time tending to...

...as possible. As the oldest of four boys, I relate easily to students, and my tutoring sessions can feel like studying with a friend, albeit a friend who is helping them improve their scores. By making the material relatable and communicating it in simple terms, I get many students to understand seemingly difficult-to-grasp subject matter. I take great joy in seeing the moment a concept clicks in a student's head and seeing that student subsequently...

...is my passion, especially in Mathematics. Mathematics is a language; I would like to teach you how to speak it. If you are interested in learning about strategies for standardized testing, let's connect. Standard testing is about developing a new skill and mindset (I know, my GRE verbal score was in the 99 percentile and I used to teach at Kaplan). Learning should be fun, so I hope that our sessions are light-hearted, insightful, and...

...encompass from elementary school arithmetic to high school physics to college biology. I really love sparking enthusiasm in a student once they begin to see the big picture and help them overcome a daunting or boring concept into something that they are very comfortable with. I strongly believe that any concept can be overcome so long as the student finds the topic interesting and/or is willing to work at it. In my free time I...

...from Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. I spent my undergraduate career studying Cell Biology and Neuroscience with a concentration in NeuroPsychology. I also worked at my university as a research assistant and a writing tutor. I am currently applying for masters programs. I love tutoring- it is something that I have done since I was in high school and I am excited to help out some students in need! Feel free to message me...

...and my Master's degree in education from Touro College in 2012. I have tutored for more than six years and have worked with several students who had multiple unsuccessful attempts with the NY State Regent's and helped them to finally pass the exam. I specialize in 9th and 10th grade math, but have taught and tutored grades 7-10. While I can teach just about any subject, I love teaching math because I am a very...

...wide range of subjects, but am most passionate about Computer Science, Math, and Test Prep. These are all subjects in which a student can feel completely lost or stuck. In my experience, the small steps which can easily be gained in these subjects make a huge difference. The results are noticeable and applicable. I am a lifelong learner and am always reading/learning new things. I love theater, knitting, and technology. I am a graduate of...

...my Bachelor of Science Degree at Touro College in ESL. Before starting a family, I taught in the New York City public school system as a Special Education teacher. I tutor all subjects at the elementary level (grades K-6) since that is where I gained most of my experience; however I can also tutor students in higher grade levels in reading and writing as well. I enjoy tutoring all subjects but would have to choose...

...professionally! As a result, I can truly get in the mindset of a student who is learning something - NO question is out-of-bounds or silly - it all comes from a place where the mind is trying to incorporate new information. There is nothing worse than an expert "teacher" who has forgotten what the various stages of learning was like! I work with students of all ages and in all the subjects I've listed. I...

...set to graduate in May 2019 with a BA in History with a Spanish Minor. I've loved learning my whole life and always been a voracious reader. I have 10+ years of experience as a babysitter and nanny, so I'm extremely comfortable with kids, and I love to have conversations with teenagers. I scored a 5 on all six of my AP tests in high school, and I'm comfortable with a wide variety of subjects,...

...worked for one year as an immigration paralegal before beginning my Ph.D. in German at New York University in 2011, which I am still pursuing. As a Ph.D. student I have taught both discussion sections of required humanities courses and stand-alone German language courses at all levels; both of these kinds of courses require significant one-on-one work with students in office hours. I am most passionate about helping students improve their writing, analyze literary texts,...

...again soon. Although based on a core curriculum designed to allow students to reach their goals, my teaching style is also very spontaneous, intuitive, and innovative. I???ve found that an interactive approach works best. When students are engaged with the materials and encouraged to make connections for themselves, both inside and outside the classroom, they naturally self-motivate, learn faster, and remember more. I???ve also found that making use of visual aids and emphasizing practical applications...

My name is Brandon Ortiz and I am a recent graduate from Yale University with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering. I have a strong background in math and science, and can also help with English grammar and Spanish. I look forward to helping you, and please reach out if you have any questions!

...passages of fiction and non-fiction, as well as parse out any grammatical and usage errors they may have. This gives students the opportunity to understand the how and why of language as opposed to simply memorizing arbitrary rules. Finally, with a Chinese minor from Georgetown and a Test of Chinese as a Foreign Language (TOCFL) proficiency of 5 (fluent), and having learned Chinese myself as a foreign language, I feel equipped to help beginner to...

...Literature. I have been studying Spanish since the 6th grade and have spent extensive periods of time abroad, which range from taking linguistics classes in Madrid to doing farm work in rural Mexico. I love to learn and teach others. While finding the right answer is important, I also want my students to develop critical thinking skills that can be transferred to many realms of life. "Bring a man a fish and you feed him...

...degree in Comparative Literature at The CUNY Graduate Center with a language focus on Spanish texts and an interest in the American Romantic Movement. I have always had a strong interest in English grammar and composition, and I have tutored that subject area extensively both during my undergraduate studies and at present. My strength is SAT test prep, both Verbal and Writing, as well as Critical Reading and Composition practice. Strong language skills are critical...
