Award-Winning Physics Tutors serving Huntington, NY

...things work ever since. I attended the University of Chicago where I received a B.S. in mathematics and B.A. in physics, both with honors. Currently, I am a graduate student at New York University pursuing Ph.D. in theoretical physics. Specifically, I study modifications of Einstein's theory of general relativity that could possibly explain the mysterious phenomena of dark energy and dark matter. I have been teaching and tutoring math and physics for the past 6...

...BC. I have also been an SAT tutor at my local test prep center in my senior year of high school. I'm currently a sophomore at Cornell University working towards a bachelor of arts in biological sciences. As a tutor, my ultimate goal is to make sure my students feel confident enough about a subject to answer questions without any help and feel prepared for their exams. I truly enjoy the tutoring process and the...

...I concentrated on a variety of subjects such as philosophy, literature, and chemistry. After working in the chemistry lab and becoming increasingly interested in advanced science coursework, my professors prompted me to take physics, which I saw as having very interesting parallels to philosophy. Eventually this inquisitiveness led me to astronomy. If I really wanted to discover the mysteries of the universe, I reasoned, eventually I would have to pick up a telescope. Throughout my...

I am currently enrolled in Columbia University, pursuing a degree in Civil Engineering. I have a genuine passion for tutoring math and find great satisfaction in helping others understand and excel in the subject. My approach to tutoring revolves around tailoring my teaching methods to meet each student's individual needs. My ultimate objective is to empower my students to gain the necessary skills and confidence to independently tackle mathematical problems.

...purpose of the workshop was to give students an extra hour of work per week to enhance their understanding of the subject. I also came up with example problems and challenge problems to complement their homework and better prepare them for exams. My senior year I was a TA for a junior level chemical engineering course. The work was similar to the workshop I taught, with the added responsibility of grading. In graduate school, I...

...having received a BA in Biology with concentrations in cellular and molecular biology with genetics. During my enrollment, I participated in graduate level classes at the medical school, participated in on-campus research, and completed my studies after just 3 years. I've always had a love for biology but that is not my only area of specialty. Math studies from elementary levels through calculus are one of my strong points as well. I believe that with...

A current college student with 3.97 GPA due to an A- in Upper-division writing. A TA for organic chemistry and tutor for college chem. Break down topics and make them easier to understand. Got 5 and 95+ on all Science courses in HS including AP chem, AP psych, AP Bio, Ap physics. A peer tutor.

I am a sophomore at Washington University in St. Louis studying business. I am majoring in Economics and Strategy and Organization and Strategic Management with a minor in Psychology. I have tutored students in all grade levels. Most recently, I have volunteered at the Biome School in St. Louis tutoring elementary school students. My subject strong suits are ACT and SAT test prep and math. In my free time, I like to ski, play board...

...also currently working as an Assistant Research Scientist at New York University (NYU) teaching pre-college prep courses to incoming College students (High school students). The courses I teach in this varsity tutors platform are Biomedical engineering, College Physics, College Math, Engineering, Computer Programing, Programing Languages, Math, Physics, Python, Science, and Technology and Coding. I like to teach courses by trying to find real-world applications of the theory taught in classes. I also ask students if...

...most confusing subjects out there, and while it can be incredibly frustrating to struggle through a difficult concept, once it clicks, the payoff is fantastic you get to learn one more interesting fact about the strange world we live in. My job as a tutor is to help you understand your difficult subjects so that you can begin to do well in them and, even better, enjoy them. I am a patient, but rigourous, tutor,...

...as algebra, geometry, calculus, biology, and physics. At Cornell, I was a tutor in the Math Support Center, a walk-in tutoring service for all areas of math. In addition, I was a calculus course assistant, running problem-solving sessions. During the summer of 2011 I taught a five-week SAT Math prep course to rising high school juniors. I usually mold my teaching methods to fit the needs of my students. I believe the key to tutoring...

...background is in Special Education and teaching exceptional learners. I have a Bachelors degree in Economics and a Masters degree in Teaching. I tutor for all core academic subjects including ELA, Math, Science, and History. I also tutor in more specialized areas like French, ESL/ELL, writing, music, and more! I believe that there is no "average" student; instead, all students have unique strengths and needs and instruction must be tailored to them. For this reason,...

...best the same way. There are some students that are more visual learners, others who are more auditory learners, and yet others who learn by a combination of both. Some students learn better by reading textbooks while other require help in extracting the main concepts. I find this difference to be the most exciting aspect of teaching, as it challenges me to mold my approach each time I encounter a new student.

...struggled for so long with or were finally able to solve a problem on their own. I've struggled in a few classes before and know just how impactful an exceptional and knowledgeable tutor having can be. I have extensive experience tutoring mathematics to both younger students (high school) and peers (college). I also have worked in Math Circles before, which is essentially a math enrichment program for grades 3-6. Safe to say, I enjoy solving...

...have passively helped my friends or peers when they had trouble. Tutoring and teaching to me is very rewarding and I am always trying my best to deliver 110%. I will not give up until the student completely understands all the concepts and is able to solve problems associated with the concepts without guidance. In my spare time, I enjoy doing the crossword, writing poetry, cooking, running, and going to concerts. Brand New is my...

...I was determined to get a A to keep my streak of A's in science going. At the end I received a B-. I went on to study physics because it challenge me to think out of the box and find alternative solutions to problems. Physics describes the world we live in holistically. My teaching philosophy is about dedicated practice. I have a laid back approach to showing you how to attack the problems from...

...I spent a year in Beijing and tutored adults in English and Chinese. In 2007 I taught a GRE class at Baruch College in Manhattan.

...I received a degree in Physics and a Minor in Mathematics. I've had the opportunity to work with students as a Learning Assistant in both an Electricity and Magnetism Lab and in an Intro Mechanics classroom. In those classes I was able to help college Freshmen/Sophomores work through various physics problems. I also provided informal tutoring outside of the classroom where students had the ability to work in a smaller setting, making it easier to...

...head math teacher, responsible for leading a class of over 25 students. I believe standardized testing unjustly favors those with the resources for extensive test prep. Thus, it was all the more rewarding to work with students who, otherwise, would not have had as much access to such services. I have also privately tutored high school students in physics, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Besides tutoring, I frequently write and perform stand-up comedy and am a...
