Award-Winning SAT Tutors in Hempstead, NY

...strengthen basic grammar and organizational skills. I am excited to be a Varsity Tutor, instilling a passion for learning in my students through experiential, hands-on education that promotes critical thinking skills. I firmly believe that the provision of equal educational opportunities can help foster social equality. I emphasize inquiry-based learning because I believe that students learn best when they are invested in the material and can fully explore its relation to the real world. I...

...half years with a Bachelor's degree in English as well as a minor in creative writing. Through my time at school I have peer edited countless papers, critiqued works of fiction, and written a considerable amount of my own material. Throughout my whole life I have spent much of my spare time reading books or writing creatively. My expertise is letters, words, sentences, paragraphs- how to create them, decipher them and think about them. If...

I began tutoring six years ago, and have been working with a variety of age groups and subjects ever since. I have tutored in elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, and colleges. In college, I majored in Philosophy and minored in Physics and English. I'm excited to work with students and help them learn in their own individual ways!

...test preparation such as for the SAT I and II, GRE and LSAT. I especially enjoy helping students prepare for standardized tests because I remember how helpful a compelling guide and mentor can be during the often stressful process of testing and preparation for it. In addition to performing well on the exams themselves, I believe it is just as important for students to learn how to think calmly and confidently about these tests, so...

...expected to know them. However, without a proper understanding of the simple facets of a subject, the more complicated features can never be truly internalized. 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...

...in North Carolina. Shortly thereafter I began to work towards my PhD in the field of experimental neuroscience research. My strongest subjects include statistics, math, and the sciences. My favorite subject to tutor would have to be statistics, mostly because I have taken so many classes in this subject that it is like second nature at this point. Outside of my education, I am an avid golfer. As a scratch handicap, I went to college...

...I have tutored a variety of subjects ranging from math and science to standardized testing, but I especially enjoy tutoring in the areas of English, literature, and writing. I believe in creating a specialized tutoring plan to address the particular needs of my student. My emphasis is on creative (and hopefully fun) learning techniques that engage my student and help him or her confront problem-solving in a way that best suits his or her learning...

...bring to the table.* *I studied for three years at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, earning my B.A. in Theatre. I moved to New York City right after graduation, and right at the same time as the COVID pandemic began. What can I say? I'm a lucky guy! To cope with the postponement of my theatre graduate program (and with an eye on my future financial situation), I decided to take a swing at the LSAT....

...at NYU, and part of the Stern/Tisch dual degree program, getting a BS in Business and a BFA in Film and Television. I've been tutoring since my sophomore year, including over Zoom for the past year. My main focus is test prep, where I focus on "gamification." I know it sounds crazy, but test prep really can be fun, and seeing it as a game can help scores improve dramatically and make studying less of...

...student does not understand a concept and immediately try to tailor my approach to fulfill that student's needs. I help the student relate science to their daily lives using stories and examples so he or she may gain a better understanding of the material. I have taken this integrative approach myself when studying for my college classes as well as any standardized tests such as the SAT, SAT Subject Tests, PSAT, ACT and MCAT, and...

...rewarding than getting a child over his or her fear of a subject that they find difficult. It was not easy, but I have even managed to convince people that math is not some bizarre form of torture. It can even be fun. I promise! As a tutor my primary goal is not to teach towards specific problems. Rather, it is to establish strong foundations and to teach methods to figure out how to apply...

...I graduated from Georgetown University with a Bachelors in Science in International Politics, with a concentration in International Security Studies. I have extensive experience tutoring high school and college-level Spanish. I have also taught English, Writing, and Editing to middle school and high school students. As a writer-by-trade, I can help students improve the style and structure of their writing, as well as teach grammar and copy editing. I have also tutored History, Science, Economics,...

...Italian and Spanish. I am passionate about helping students reach their highest potential. Seeing the transformation in a student's attitude when they finally begin to understand a subject is the most rewarding feeling, and I hope to help as many people as I can to feel confident in whatever problem or question is thrown at them. I have a deep love for dancing stemmed in me since I was a kid, and in my spare...

...with a father from Cape Town, South Africa, and a mother from New Orleans - to others. Tutoring mathematics (and standardized tests) means breaking an idea down to its most basic parts, figuring out why and how it works in a way that brings great improvement in both understanding and practical performance. In my spare time, I love dancing, writing, and Netflix, and never travel on the subway without a good book.

...entrepreneur all my life. I have always enjoyed helping people learn how to do difficult problems in ways that make sense to them - not the way the book describes it. Almost everything that we learn is pretty easy when you boil it down, the real problem is that not everyone learns the way that the book or the teacher teaches it. So the first step is always to figure out how YOU learn, and...

...taught 6th and 7th grade Math at a summer school in the Bronx. The summer before that, I taught literacy and writing to children in East Harlem. I am now currently the 7th Grade Math teacher at a middle school in the Bronx. Math is one of my passions, although I have a strong liberal arts background as well. Throughout my undergraduate career, I was constantly involved in tutoring and mentoring programs. I absolutely love...

...involved in sports and musicals, I enjoyed participating in academic competitions, in which I could explore my engineering interests, such as Science Olympiad and TEAMS. In high school, I primarily tutored in biology, physics, and mathematics. Tutoring was my way to gain teaching experience and give back to my school. In college, for similar reasons, I currently work as a TA in computer science. I also conduct glaucoma research in a clinical research lab. My...

...do in minutes, the discrimination they faced from peers and teachers who mistook their inability as an unwillingness to learn, and the importance of support in their success stories. After college, I spent one year in India on a Fulbright Fellowship teaching English to 6th to 8th grade students at a school for underserved girls. I struggled a lot as a teacher in this environment. I had to witness the underfunded and crumbling infrastructure of...

I look forward to helping students improve their test scores! I graduated from UC Berkeley and Columbia Law. I self-taught to achieve a perfect verbal SAT score and an LSAT score in the 99th percentile. Test taking is a skill and, like any skill, you can improve significantly through practice and learned techniques.

...addition, since high school, I have always been someone that friends entrust to look over and critique their papers before they submit final drafts. My teaching style features visual learning, mnemonics, and hierarchical organization of material. I find that hierarchically cataloguing information by topic and sub-topic helps students retain material, as students are not simply memorizing, but are understanding how concepts relate to one another. More personally, my hobbies include tennis, movies, and travel. I...
