Award-Winning Math Tutors for Students in Yonkers, NY

...love and it remains my favorite subject to teach. I have always loved science. But what I enjoy most is helping young people learn. I believe what I do best is to help students understand the physical world that surrounds them. When I teach I focus on short lessons followed by "hands-on" student activities to reinforce the lesson. When I'm not teaching I enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, biking, golf and cross-country skiing.

...I have always enjoyed explaining concepts to other people, and I find it works best when I relate the subject to a personal interest of the student. The most rewarding aspect of teaching is watching a student attack a problem in a step-by-step manner and explain the significance of each step. Starting from the bottom-up is an approach I have applied through my academic journey, and I hope to impart on others as well.

...TA for Ivy Global. During my time at Stuyvesant High School, I spent two years editing opinions columns and tutoring underclassmen in math and English. I love helping out people seeing them have their "aha!" moment makes my day! I know what it's like to be in your shoes. During my first semester at Stuy, I had a really hard time with physics. I was fortunate enough to have a kind upperclassman walk me through...

Since a young age, helping people has been a passion of mine. What began as helping my brothers and friends in math, has turned into a strong desire to teach and educate persons of all ages and backgrounds. Since then, I have helped students of all ages in many subjects: German, Italian & primarily Math. I have been a tennis coach for 7 years at the Western Tennis Club in Glasgow, mostly...

...may be dealing with. Once a student firmly understands a physical or mathematical theory it is much easier to understand the formulas and applications behind the theory. Examples are key in understanding this type of subject matter and as such I greatly emphasize examples as well. I am very patient when it comes to relaying the knowledge I have because I understand how difficult Math and Science may be for some (Science was not necessarily...

...have also worked as a health educator at Peer Health Exchange and employee of the NYU University Learning Center. I know that students learn best when they are organized, motivated, and interested in the subject matter. I support my students by helping them to plan out manageable study schedules, consistently providing positive encouragement, and finding creative ways to explain difficult concepts through examples, illustrations, and analogies. Through my great amount of teaching experience, I have...

...year in high school, when I ran my own test prep and tutoring service for sophomores and juniors. Most of my experience is in SAT and ACT test prep, but I have also done tutoring in the maths and sciences and English composition. While I am a Mechanical Engineering major, I have always had a profound appreciation for great literature and for writing good English, and I would love to pass that along to all...

...am currently attending Connecticut College studying Psychology with a minor in Applied Statistics. I know how hard it can be to learn new material and to find a tutor a student can connect with. In my studies, I have learned many techniques to stay organized and thoroughly understand course content, while being sensitive to the variation in how people learn differently. In addition to tutoring, my interests include fashion and beauty, dance, hiking, and skiing.

...must possess a solid foundation in Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Pre-Calculus. But first and foremost, it is important that each student identifies the reason that he or she is studying for. Once that goal is vividly envisioned by the student, he or she will find enjoyment and satisfaction in understanding and applying new concepts as the student progresses towards his or her goal one step at a time. After we gain some momentum, it is...

...Aide on Long Island where I worked one-on-one with students who needed a little extra attention in certain subject areas. I am comfortable teaching a number of subjects at a number of different levels, but my absolute favorite subjects are Physics, Chemistry, Math and Biomedical Engineering. The basic sciences are always the most interesting because they govern the behavior of the world around us and it still amazes me how a few simple equations can...

...private music lessons (basic music theory and ear training) to students between the ages of 8-18. In high school, I peer-tutored students in Algebra I, Pre-Algebra, History, and essay-writing, my teaching/tutoring; my experiences are both versatile and extensive. Though I have experience teaching a wide range of subjects, I thoroughly enjoy tutoring students in math. In my experiences with students who struggle with math, I aim to help them understand and solve problem sets through...

...on civic leadership and cross-sector problem solving. My academic background is similarly interdisciplinary, and I tutor in subjects from Spanish to Geometry to SAT Prep. I have a special knack for cracking standardized tests, and I find it very rewarding to help demystify them by teaching students to recognize common strategies used to confuse test-takers. In my 8 years of tutoring, I have found the "supported challenge" model of engagement is effective for students from...

...up in Long Island, New York and graduated high school with an IB Diploma in 2010. After high school, I headed down south to North Carolina where I studied at Duke University. I created my own interdisciplinary major and graduated in May 2014. During my time in college, I was lucky to spend a semester studying in South Africa at the University of Cape Town and return to the country the next summer to conduct...

...film and the humanistic touch of it. I believe in expanding the students' world by teaching not only facts and theories but the implication behind them in addition to sufficient application practice. I want the students to foster intellectual curiosity as they delve into a particular subject. Born and raised in Beijing for 18 years, I can also teach Chinese and the rich culture around it. I'm also experienced in test prep and would love...

...a tutor of K-12 Maths and Sciences for several years for both groups and individuals. My tutoring style tends not towards lecturing, but rather jointly delving into complex problems with students. Rather than merely arriving the answer, I want my students to understand step by step each fundamental concept that makes up the whole issue. Aside from physics and tutoring, I love the outdoors and adventure. I have scaled ascended 20,000 ft mountains and have...

...As an old adage says, if you're willing to do it for free, you have found your passion. I love being able to share my strengths and passion with students. I have tutored students in Pre-K to college level math. I have found that most students who have struggled in math never built a strong foundation. They have struggled previously in a building block of a topic they are currently trying to master. I make...
