Award-Winning Pre-Calculus Tutors in Nassau County, NY

...Yale University with a degree in Psychology but with intentions of one day going to medical school. I am currently doing research at the Hospital for Special Surgeries to gain valuable experience before heading off to medical school. While at Yale, I played soccer for 4 years and tutored other students in organic chemistry. I am very committed to helping my students improve and enjoy working in the sciences most specifically those on the MCAT...

...at Harvard, Oxford, and Sussex universities. I teach both math and verbal sections of the SAT, ACT, GRE, and other standardized tests. My teaching is always focused on the individual student and his/her specific learning needs. I would be especially interested in a tutoring opportunity that involves academic/study skills advising and coaching. I have passed the Praxis Mathematics certification exams with a Certificate of Excellence (top 15%) and hold two NJ teacher's certificates.  In 1997,...

...the go-to tutor for my siblings and cousins growing up. I tutored them and their friends in various subjects but felt that I did my best work and was most impactful preparing others for the SATs and PSATs. I was always a very strong math student and able to break down concepts in a variety of ways to adapt to the different learning styles that each of my former students had. In addition, I possessed...

...as simple as possible. It's important to understand the WHY behind something, rather than just the HOW. Sometimes, it can help to relate a difficult concept to a real-life analogy, to draw a diagram, or to make up silly memory devices (King Philip Came Over For Good Spaghetti, anyone??). However, it will always take a lot of hard work, concentration, and practice. It might be a tough journey, but I promise to make it worth...

...one's own conclusions are lasting tools in learning that far surpass what memorization and rote work can achieve. I am also fluent in several languages, and enjoy teaching Italian, Spanish, and English as a second language, using immersion techniques. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Literary Translation from Brown University. This year I am embarking on a new academic pursuit; I plan to pursue a PhD in Molecular Biology beginning in the fall.... I believe in the Socratic method; a back-and-forth of questions and answers keeps my students engaged and curious. There is nothing more exciting to me than seeing your success.

...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 problem before I proceed to formally state the theorem to be applied. While I continue today with my research work on probability models and my full-time college teaching, I enjoy guiding high school or older students, and middle school students beyond their grade level, through most mathematical...

...at St. John's University, where I focus on science in 19th and early 20th century literature. Along the way, I have earned an MA in English. I have been tutoring since high school. My first experiences were working with elementary-aged students with all-around homework help, helping a French student staying in the US for the summer start to learn English, and helping a fellow classmate with physics. As an undergraduate, I continued to tutor physics...

...and science, and it shows! I've tutored for over seven years and with a Bachelor's degree and Masters in environmental engineering, four years of industry experience and five years as a professional sailor, I have a lot of appreciation for how the world around us works. From the simple process of doubling a recipe, to finding the optimum angle between wind and current to win a sailing race, to deeper questions about the workings of...

...it's my job to be curious. Asking questions and finding the answers allow me to tell great stories and (hopefully) increase the level of knowledge among the public. As a recent student myself, I understand how the pressures of school can sometimes work against your innate curiosity. As a tutor, my goal is of course to help you maximize your success in school and standardized tests. But it's also (again, hopefully) to make room for...

...is my favorite subject, and I have taught college courses and mentored students in the laboratory. I am passionate about teaching and loved every teaching opportunity that I have had! I am very friendly and have an easy going personality. I strive to make learning as fun and as stress-free for my students as possible! The success of my students is my top priority. In addition to teaching and tutoring, my other interests include painting,...
