Award-Winning SAT Tutors in Mount Vernon, NY

...Tutoring history means building stories out of a collection of facts, a love of places, peoples, and cultures both near and far that I learned young while describing my family history - 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...

...science double-major. I hail from the town of Clarence, New York, a suburb of Buffalo. I enjoy tutoring in part because of my affinity for the subjects that I'll be teaching, but the primary reason is that I like working with people and forming interpersonal connections. My extracurricular activities and interests include distance running, ultimate frisbee, coding, reading (science fiction especially), and listening to music. I also enjoy playing with my dogs and spending time...

...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....

...York at Stony Brook, where I received Bachelor of Science degrees in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics. My previous experiences include tutoring 7th grade math and serving as a teaching assistant at Stony Brook. I have also been helping friends with their class work since high school. I tutor mathematics and computer science, which I enjoy primarily because of the logic utilized in identifying the problems and applying the correct methods to solve them. In...

...science, philosophy, etc. - are subjects that inherently deal with concepts and creations made by mankind, and thus they reflect man's imperfect nature. The ability to analyze these concepts and creations with a mind for the why, the how, and the strengths and the weaknesses is invaluable. Analytical and critical thinking is something I will push for in all subjects that I tutor, including mathematics, as it is equally - if not more important there....

...SAT and ACT prep classes to 10th and 11th grade students at The Lycee Francais of New York, The Spence School, The Nightingale Bamford School, and LaGuardia High School.

...levels in a wide range of settings. Which is to say: need help with test prep? Playing catch-up in class? Preparing for presentations or needing to revise a piece of writing? I've helped a lot of tutees in all of these situations and more, and love working collaboratively with anyone looking for assistance. I have 3+ years of tutoring experience, both inside and out of tutoring centers; high levels of success with tutoring; and a...

...for your child. As a New York City Teaching Fellow, I became a certified secondary school teacher and earned a Master's in Education. My passion for education was shown by ending my first year raising my school’s science achievement level by 250%, earning the highest state exam passing rate in the nine-year history of Astor Collegiate Academy, a college preparatory high school in the Bronx. Additionally, I have worked in one on one tutoring settings...

I graduated from University of Washington with a bachelor degree in math and Columbia University with a master degree in actuarial science. I got an average of 3.8 GPA on all my math classes, so I am able to tutor in any level of calculus courses or high school mathematics. I have passed 5 actuarial exams (P, FM, IFM, STAM and SRM), so I can tutor in any of those exams.

...England. I founded an international theater company called The Sun Apparatus with three other women in 2013. Since then, most of my non-tutoring hours are spent performing, rehearsing, directing, and producing for the company. We were shortlisted for the Scottish Daily Mail Drama Award in 2014 and will be taking our newest work, The ME, to the Edinburgh Festival this summer. I also work at Time In Children's Arts Initiative, a program that teaches opera...

...use educational methods to try and encourage my students to understand mathematics, and therefore improve in their math courses. I have experience as a tutor in elementary school level math through Calculus and Differential Equations. I have completed my PhD in mathematics. This has helped me to gain training in both mathematics and teaching. I have worked at a tutoring center where I was trained to tutor students and gained experience in tutoring. This also...

Having taught students in various subjects before, and as a college student myself, I believe that the best teaching approach is one that caters directly to the student's needs-whether it's through lecturing or more personalized attention. I also think that learning should be an enjoyable experience and not feel like a chore which is why I teach in an interactive and exciting manner.

...skills up to the level of my peers. As such, I am a strong believer in passing on not only what I have learned, but also the dedication that others had when teaching me. When I teach, I dissect harder problems into simpler ones and emphasize learning the principles behind the problems. This way, I emphasize the essential concepts instead of encouraging the student to simply memorize facts. I believe that all students should have...

...developed problem solving strategies and time management skills that I believe would be valuable for any students who I would have the opportunity to teach in the future. I plan to take a year off from my studies after graduation, and my flexible schedule would allow me to accommodate many students throughout the week. I am currently deciding between medical school and graduate school, within the fields of neuroscience and psychology. I have worked in...

...started a successful literary magazine and have since started a second publication in my Brooklyn neighborhood. I have studied literature and practiced my own writing with a fervor that I am excited to pass on to my tutoring students. My experience grants me the unique experience to speak directly and frankly to students who might otherwise not actively participate in the writing process or who might not clearly understand how an English education can benefit...

Hi, I'm Esther! I am currently a student at Binghamton University, studying in the School of Management.

...diverse strategies such as the use of mathematical models, pre-writing graphic organizers, and mnemonic self-monitoring reading strategies, my students have developed the ability to successfully demonstrate their knowledge. Through the use of formal and informal data collection, I am able to evaluate my successes and failures. Just as I say to my students, "failure is not final". Using my data, I am able to model resilience to my students by adapting my approach to best...

...especially important to create a fun learning environment that kids would not dread going to, and even look forward to. While the majority of my tutoring was at my temple, I can tutor a wide variety of subjects. At my high school, I was part of a student-run organization in which I would occasionally conduct free SAT classes to students (where my primary focus was on the math section). In my spare time, when I...

...aspirations in life. I would like to understand the world, and especially the people in it. I would also like to spread that knowledge, subsequently inspiring people to seek their own truths. Tutoring is a beautiful composition of art and science. One must understand both the material and the student. Not just simple comprehension, but in what manner the comprehension is reached. I enjoy breaking down problems into logical sub-units. First, the underlying equations (or...
