Award-Winning SAT Tutors in Nassau County, NY

...underclassmen in math and English. I love helping out people seeing them have their "aha!" moment makes my day! I know what it's like to be in your shoes. During my first semester at Stuy, I had a really hard time with physics. I was fortunate enough to have a kind upperclassman walk me through concepts like projectile motion and practice questions. He was a huge reason why I ultimately did well in the course....

...developing molecular technologies for molecular and cellular diagnosis of brain cancers. Now, I am in medical school in the 3-year MD program at NYUGSOM. I currently do private MCAT tutoring, and have tutored biology and chemistry at the collegiate level in the past. I am passionate about STEM, and am a firm believer that anyone can reach their goals in this field, as long as they're willing to put in the work!

I work and live in New York City. I grew up in Knoxville, TN and went to the University of Pittsburgh, where I studied economics and political science. I'm light-hearted but take academics very seriously. In all of my lessons I combine my curiosity about the world with the idea that learning can be fun.

...I have been a tutor of K-12 Maths and Sciences for several years for both groups and individuals. My tutoring style tends not towards lecturing, but rather jointly delving into complex problems with students. Rather than merely arriving the answer, I want my students to understand step by step each fundamental concept that makes up the whole issue. Aside from physics and tutoring, I love the outdoors and adventure. I have scaled ascended 20,000 ft...

...say enjoyable. Beyond the problem sets and test reviews, my task is to help you become a better and more creative thinker. The brain is a lot like a muscle; we should work it out together while having an appropriate amount of fun along the way. Despite what you may have heard, math is not this impossible and terrible thing cooked up to make you miserable. I think I can convince you of that. When...

...as wedding dances to private couples. I am also a freelance writer and am working on learning a fourth language, Spanish. In my observation, languages and writing skills are poorly taught in many schools, leaving students frustrated and unprepared for further learning. The improvement I see in my students, however, is immensely rewarding. With a little guidance, everyone has the ability not only to boost their test scores, but also to set themselves up for...

...Singapore Math, Reading and Writing Workshop among others. I love helping with test prep; SAT, ISEE, SSAT. My students have increased confidence and scores, and have gained admission to top independent schools and colleges after our time spent in test prep. I love helping students find meaning in their learning. So, you won't be bored. We will develop a plan each session and work hard to complete it -- with stops along the way to...

...years in New York City, I now work for a national college access and retention organization. I enjoy working with teenagers and young people to help them succeed at short term tasks as well as strengthen their skills and confidence over time. Given my experience, I know what students need to be prepared for college and how to get them to that level. Whether it's test prep, essay writing, history content or study skills, I...

...and I am now volunteering at a few hospitals in order to gain more exposure to the field. In the past, I tutored for the SAT examination in Reading, Writing, and Math. I helped my students successfully achieve their goals and get into college! In addition, during college I tutored at various middle schools in the greater College Park, MD area. Most of the students I met with needed help in Math and Writing, although...

...yoga. In the past, I have tutored students through Kumon Education Company. I have also been a teaching assistant for a scientific writing class, as well as tutored peers throughout my undergrad. I also was given the opportunity to teach English in Bolivia last summer. My favorite subjects to tutor are Math and English, because I think both subjects can be mastered through practice, and don't necessarily require memorization. I believe that in order for...

...health education. Each age group positively responds to a different style of teaching, motivation, and communication; being adaptable and open to these changes is my forte. My teaching style often revolves around developing self-motivation, planning schedules, and understanding students' short-term and long-term goals. Because I recently graduated, I understand the stress students have managing their busy schedules, extracurricular activities, and studying for standardized exams, all while maintaining a solid GPA. Being flexible, compassionate, and patient...

...I've worked as a tutor for 3 years in a variety of math and science based courses. At school, I've always helped tutor my friends in the courses we take together. Learning their habits, strengths, and weaknesses has allowed me to find out how they learn best, and then tailor my explanations to that style. My personal strength in communication has been as asset in all my tutoring. Everyone learns differently, and that's ok. I'm...

...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...

...teaching and not research, I went back to school and got my Master of Arts in Teaching. Since 2009, I have taught 8th, 9th, 10th, and 12th grades. I have also taught three different courses as an adjunct instructor. My educational philosophy is based on considering the whole student: what he or she likes, his or her strengths and weaknesses, his or her temperament. By considering all of those things I connect with the student...

...minor in Math. I have been tutoring for the last five years and have taught several subjects including Math (Algebra, Trigonometry, SAT, and SAT Subject Tests), Physics (High school and SAT Subject Tests), SAT Writing, and Economics (High school and AP level). I am extremely passionate about teaching and have taught students of several age groups (12 through 19). I would love to continue this passion by tutoring you! Thank you so much for your...

...motivations, and to devise a personalized plan based in not just results, but personal accomplishment and goal-setting. Two of my biggest passions are learning new things and working with people. Combine those two together, and you get the exact reason why I'm here. I want to motivate and push you to accomplish what you previously thought impossible both inside and outside of the classroom -- whether it's acing the SAT math section, writing a thoughtful...

...I'm a web developer! My academic success is linked to the amount I studied; however, I owe the majority of it to the wonderful professors and tutors I've had in my life. They've shown me that everyone has the potential to become a top student. I've been tutoring for over 4 years now and in that time, I've learned a ton of effective teaching methods. I've also learned many that don't work at all -...

...Andrew's Episcopal School where I focused extensively on mathematics and science. My high school also nurtured strong discussion and writing skills. Although I was also 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....

...with ESL students and students with disabilities. I am especially passionate about foreign languages, the humanities, and social sciences. I received four consecutive gold medals on the National Latin Exam when I was in high school, so I am eager to help students who are struggling with the subject. I also specialize in the areas of English-language writing, grammar, and reading comprehension. I have wanted to be a teacher from a rather young age, and...

...and Physics. I have tutored students ranging from middle school to college age in various mathematics subjects, and love helping others learn languages, specifically 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...... My teaching...
