Award-Winning SAT Tutors in White Plains, NY

...in saxophone performance. I have always had a fascination with the concept of understanding, which was a huge factor in the decision to be a neuroscience major. I am very interested in how people learn things, and how they understand the phenomena around them. Due to this fascination, I have spent many hours trying to figure out what makes certain learning techniques "better" than others, and I have become well versed in a variety of...

...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 curiosity, and to remind students, at least a little bit, about what can be fun about...

...academic interests, including Archaeology, Creative Writing, and Finance. I studied abroad last semester in Scotland and love to travel (my dream destination being Egypt, someday). During the last two summers, I have taught seminars at a 10-day conference hosted by a Harvard student organization in China. The students were all high school students in China, and I absolutely loved the discussions and the chance to teach subjects I am passionate about to my students. I...

...tactics from both grade school and university styles of instruction. I've completed both coursework and research/publication on small-group (1:1) instructional methodologies at Duke University as a training course. In the TWP, I consistently applied and formally reviewed the effectiveness of these techniques in blogs and panels. Long-term engagement with evolving philosophies of education helped me establish a conceptual foundation of contemporary ideologies and approaches. This ground-up familiarity with modern tutoring methods/resources enables me to cater...

...years now, since I first started working with a friend of a friend's child on his SATs. I graduated from Brooklyn College with a degree in economics, and I'm at Hofstra Law School. I tutor the SATs, ACTs, LSAT, GRE, basically all high school subjects, and a bevy of college ones, including history, psychology, economics, law, and writing. That's not because I'm an expert in everything - it's because the only thing I enjoy more...

...programs to pursue my own dreams of an MBA. I have been a teacher/tutor for SAT, ACT, TOEFL, IELTS, GMAT, AP US History, and various other subjects for over four years. My favorite subject to teach is AP US History because I have the ability to make the stories of our past fun and interesting. I constantly update my teaching materials and methodology with each passing year to help my students. I enjoy teaching and...

...I offer tutoring in all high school math levels and specialize in writing/essay editing and SAT/ACT test prep as well. I am a creative writing minor and really enjoy using a variety of methods to help you develop a sense of conciseness, organization, and rhythm in their writing. Some of my favorite writers/poets include Langston Hughes, John Steinbeck, and Peter Matthiessen. Before returning to Middlebury College to finish my B.A. degree, I both taught and...

...language, math, physics, philosophy, music, and politics. In high school, I tutored elementary, middle, and high school students in music, math, ACT and SAT prep, and Spanish. At Harvard, I spent a year as a course assistant in the math department, helping to teach introductory undergraduate calculus. Currently, I volunteer with the Leadership Institute at Harvard College (LIHC) as part of its Social Outreach Committee. This work involves teaching a weekly course called "Fundamentals of...

...why I love being a tutor! I graduated from the University of Chicago in 2015 with degrees in Economics and Political Science. I spent most of 2015-2016 travelling around the world. I have been to over twenty countries and four continents. My goal is to visit as many as I can! I am willing to tutor a variety of subjects to a variety of students. This includes test prep for both ACT/SAT and LSAT!... I encourage...

...a Government Minor. I'm originally from the Bronx, NY, but I've spent most of my life in Rockland County. I now live in Hoboken, New Jersey. I tutor a variety of different subjects, but I love to work with students on Economics and Math. At Dartmouth I was both a tutor and a study group leader for classes in Micro- and Macroeconomics. I also helped a number of my peers in high school with college...

...(old and new), and pretty much any exam you could think of. I was also a National AP Scholar. I majored in Physics and Biochemistry at NYU, and published several papers as well as patents through my research. I tutor well over 135 subjects, but my favorite subject to tutor is the MCAT and Physics. I've never taken a break from tutoring, which has honed my intuition for not only acing exams but for understanding...

...theater and voice but miss my science classes and students like crazy! I'm particularly strong in biology but also totally comfortable with chemistry, English and writing, social studies/history, and test prep. As a teacher my style is to help students discover the answers on their own, and become more confident in their ability to use critical thinking. When I'm not tutoring you can find me running or playing with my mutt Franklin!

...team. I had a drive to constantly learn new ways of solving math problems and to get faster and more efficient at getting to the solution of complex equations. This experience allowed me to build a strong base of knowledge in math as well as taught me the idea that a strong foundation leads to success in whatever one???s learning. I initially began tutoring at Pacific University as a Freshman to strengthen my knowledge in...

When I was in 8th grade, I was struggling with pre-algebra (I couldn't seem to wrap my head around distance/rate/time problems). I found myself loathing a class I had once loved. I started working with a tutor and going from barely getting by to being successful in that class was a very fulfilling feeling that I hope to continue to pass on to others.... The best teachers are always trying to learn as well.... Get to...

...are relatively straightforward. For language study I follow the usual method of most classicists, focus on syntax and clause structure--in particular I find that understanding the clause structure of any language, ancient or modern, analytic or synthetic, is crucial in intuitively understanding the meaning of a sentence. In history I try to help students understand the "historical method" as easily as possible through exposure to historical sources and understanding of their uses--I also frequently approach...

...choosing this major was my passion to learn more about the sciences and mathematics. I have loved math ever since I was a child, my parents started teaching me to use strictly mental math from age 4, and since then, math has always been my strongest subject. My passion for mathematics stretches even farther when I tutored other students alongside me in class during my AP Calculus courses in High School, and even in college...

...school. I have been tutoring since my senior year of high school and have always found it to be fun, engaging and rewarding. I have extensive experience with test prep (primarily SAT and LSAT), but have tutored all ages in a variety of subjects including chemistry, physics, trig, history, English, Spanish, and many others. Looking forward to meeting new students and helping as much as I can! In the rest of my life, I love...

...enrolled in a coding bootcamp. I think coding is an incredibly challenging as well as rewarding occupation. As a lifelong learner, I love to help others understand a topic they are struggling with. I feel that the tutor gains as much as the student from the experience. As a tutor, I believe that students will enjoy learning if they understand the material rather than memorize it, so I always strive to clarify the underlying principles...

...with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so),...

...concentrations in Business Management and Classics. He grew up just north of Seattle after spending the first two years of his life in Washington, D.C., and plans to split his time between New York and Seattle in upcoming summers. Dylan discovered his passion for mentoring on the lacrosse field in high school while helping to run summer youth lacrosse camps, and became involved in academic tutoring through his high school soon after. He believes that...
