Award-Winning Middle School Math Tutors for Students in New York City, NY

...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 apply to so many...

...often improved as a result. My general approach in tutoring physics and math is to emphasize the theory behind whatever subject the student 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...

...my academic appointments and at Merck, and in my adjunct faculty position at Union County College in Cranford, NJ. My goal is to connect with the students and to spark their interest in the material taught. I try to make my teaching sessions fun and to include real life examples that illustrate the relevance and importance of what is covered. My goal in teaching is that my students gain a deep understanding of the subject...

...at all levels. I have a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Texas A&M University, where I graduated from in 2009.

As a student, math was my favorite subject, and I took part in various math contests and Olympiads. I am interested in teaching both high school and university...

...medical school at Rutgers RWJMS in 2020 and starting residency in Internal Medicine. I'm also a graduate of Columbia University with a BA in biology. I've always been interested in a wide range of subjects in school and love to encourage students to be enthusiastic about learning too. I often find that anxiety or fear are the first barriers to overcome in learning challenges. After that, hard work and lots of practice can conquer any...

...completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Fashion Design graduating Cum Laude. As a tutor, I work to completely engage with a student's learning process and try to see the subject through their eyes. I stress conceptual understanding over formula memorization, but I'm also realistic about the demands of standardized testing and teach testing strategy as well as material. I'm passionate about good writing, and I love to work on students' reading and writing...

...and an eye for detail. I don't believe in giving anything less than 110% of my time and effort, especially when understanding the needs of my students. I coincidentally also happen to adore alliteration, fancy fairytales, and constantly consume coffee. I'm currently available full-time as a tutor in a wide range of subjects, though my availability may become more limited in the coming months as my daytime employment changes. I am available by both phone...

...Physics and a Masters degree in Finance from Columbia University. I enjoy sports, spending time with friends and reading. As a teaching assistant for undergraduate physics, I was the highest rated teaching assistant in the physics department two years in a row. The ratings evaluated both my content and my ability to convey complex subjects in a way that even non-science and math students were able to comprehend. As a tutor, I was very successful...

...best practices for developing literacy in secondary education students. At school, we examined the problems with deficit learning, a type of teaching all too common in schools today. Deficit learning focuses on what a student doesn't know, what (s)he isn't able to do. This kind of instruction can be overwhelming for some students. That's why I've dedicated myself as a tutor to reversing this trend, and encouraging students to recognize the skills they already have,...

...showing them that they have all of the tools for learning right in front of them, and that if they are doing the best work that they can, they have nothing to worry about. I strive to show students that they can always accomplish academic success, and give them the ability to better themselves both with my guidance and individually. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy swimming, running, traveling the developing world, and playing the guitar.

...classroom instruction is not always the most effective pedagogical approach for all students, and that 1-on-1 instruction can be tremendously helpful in overcoming obstacles and developing stronger learning and test-taking techniques. I enjoy this work because I find the subjects interesting and enjoy helping students succeed at something and develop confidence. My professional interests include economics, finance, value investing, venture investing, derivatives trading, and commercial real estate. In addition to my academic and professional interests,...

...choosing this major was my passion to learn more about the sciences and mathematics. I have loved math ever since I was a child, my parents started teaching me to use strictly mental math from age 4, and since then, math has always been my strongest subject. My passion for mathematics stretches even farther when I tutored other students alongside me in class during my AP Calculus courses in High School, and even in college...

...happens to be that those are the exact abilities I myself developed in Harvard Law School and as a lawyer. It may sound a bit abstract to you right now, but it works. I recently talked about my approach to a tenured science professor at Columbia University, telling her that I thought those skills had helped me tremendously to succeed in her infamously difficult class. Her response, "It sounds as if you have your finger...

...you. Through my teaching experiences, I've helped students from pre-school through college levels and beyond!

I've helped students in many different settings, including an after-school enrichment program. I've also helped undergraduate college students with all of these subjects, which includes adults returning to school during their careers, as a University of Phoenix mathematics instructor. A little...

...I keep the material fresh and memorable through a variety of audiovisual approaches and real-world examples. One-on-one learning should never mean lectures, and I like to hold an ongoing conversation so students use their own learning skills in new ways to solve new kinds of problems. My creative experience in film-making allows me to guide interested students through extracurricular courses in film production and editing, and my musical background supports courses I teach in piano,...

I'm a hardworking, compassionate, and patient individual who has been tutoring since high school and helping my little sister with her homework long before. I'll work with every new student individually to recognize his or her strengths and weaknesses to make sure that material is actually being learned, not just memorized.
