Award-Winning SAT Tutors in Nassau County, NY

...2011. I'm currently a PhD Candidate and Instructor in the English Department at Stony Brook University. Over the past eight years, I've worked with a wide range of students, ages elementary through college as both a tutor and classroom instructor.

I love discussing literature and writing with...

...the past with reviewing calculus, geometry, algebra, trigonometry, and other more advanced areas of mathematics as they appear in physics. From having taught and tutored mathematics and physics in the past, I have found that solving problems is absolutely essential to learning the material. So, during tutoring sessions I dedicate a substantial amount of time to solving problems based around the material covered. Physics and mathematics lectures tend to lean more theoretical in nature, so...

...During my senior year of high school, I worked as both a volunteer student assistant at my local elementary school and as a volleyball coach, which is when I first realized how much I enjoy providing instruction and a positive learning environment to people.

...to a variety of audience. I am now taking a break in my career and will be attending a highly respected MBA program starting in January 2016.

...(European, American, World - high school and AP level) and Language Arts (reading comp, writing, language and literature - high school and AP level). My favorite subject to tutor is American history. Bob Marley once said "A people without the knowledge of their past history and culture is like a tree without roots." As Americans (no matter when we arrived to this land) we need to understand thoroughly our history, so that we do not...

...love science, and I love math, and I love helping others succeed in these areas. This passion is all the more authentic due to my previous experience growing up as someone who faced learning difficulties in math and who entered the STEM field with a non-science background. I know what it feels like to struggle, and I also know how to overcome negative expectations about our ability (both those from people around us and those...

...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 style. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy reading fiction, going to the movies, and...

Moreover, I have worked to develop a teaching approach that centers the individual students needs and desires while adding evidence-based motivational and executive functioning skills to enhance student's ability to learn. In sum, my tutoring approach is individually flexible while embedded in universal methods and skills. This approach will help students master their discipline of interest but also help them develop skills that they can...

...York University after studying politics, American history and social justice. While at school, I refined my writing and vocabulary skills and deepened my knowledge of American history.

In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I served my school as both the yearbook sponsor and as the lead mock trial coach for my competitive middle school team. I enjoy working with students on polishing their writing so it is publication ready!

...to be better test takers. In my experience, preparing for Standardized Tests such as the SAT and ACT can be empowering. By ensuring that students master both the content and format of the test, they will be able to walk in on test day feeling calm and confident. My endeavors, domestic and abroad, have taught me to identify how a student best learns and help them approach conceptual roadblocks with creativity. I strongly believe in...

...troubles I had when I was learning about the foundations of writing. I also like tutoring in math, specifically Algebra 1 and Algebra 2, because of the fun nature behind these topics. I strongly believe in visualization. I think this is the best way for a student to understand concepts, especially when it comes to complex topics in math. I also believe repetition and examples are a great way to fully understand concepts. Is the...

...step of the way. I believe every student possesses a unique skill set, and unfortunately, many schools rely on 'one-size-fits-all' methods that don't always highlight each student's strong suits. My goal is simple: to identify strengths and weaknesses in order to bring confidence, precision, and enjoyment to every student I work with. Learning should be fun and rewarding I aim to make sure students not only understand the material, but actually enjoy the process!

I am confident I know how to study effectively and manage my time, and if there is any way I can use those skills to help other students, I'd love too! When I'm not studying, I'm probably geeking out over music or running.

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 ability to help students find...

...music professionally! As a result, I can truly get in the mindset of a student who is learning something - NO question is out-of-bounds or silly - it all comes from a place where the mind is trying to incorporate new information. There is nothing worse than an expert "teacher" who has forgotten what the various stages of learning was like! I work with students of all ages and in all the subjects I've listed....
