Award-Winning SAT Math Tutors in Hempstead, NY

...administrative team responsible for over 900 pre-kindergarten to eighth grade students. I am extremely excited to be tutoring for Varsity Tutors and to build a wonderful learning community. As a teacher resource coordinator of special education, I believe all children have the ability to learn and have the right to an appropriate education. This belief has driven me throughout my career and motivated me to become an instructional leader compassionate to every learner. This philosophy...

...my spare time, I want to continue connecting to students by tutoring various subjects from math to English to test prep. As for test prep, I believe that most standardized tests don't test your ability in their stated subjects as much as they do your ability to take those tests. Therefore, it is critically important to teach not just the basic skills, but the ability to succeed on the test as well. I have been...

...– something medicine [and teaching/tutoring] will allow me to pursue simultaneously. With a background in Chemistry and high score on the MCAT, I am well versed in mathematics, biology, biochemistry, physics, and chemistry enough to relay that information intelligently and creatively. I've been tutoring these subjects for about 2 years and have broad experience with students ranging from high school to post-graduate. My favorite subjects to tutor are mathematics, physics, and chemistry because of their...

...volunteer work as an English composition teacher. I started teaching and tutoring eight years ago as an assistant Arabic teacher at a language camp, and I've been working in education and/or academia ever since! I especially love teaching writing, reading skills, and foreign languages: I'm a believer in the power of clear and thoughtful communication. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, music, the Middle East, current events, great coffee, and city life.

...Stanford in August. As an undergrad, I scored a 790/800 on the GRE quantitative reasoning test (the SAT's bigger, meaner brother). I also received a scholarship for being top of my financial math class, which gave me the chance to volunteer three days per week as a math tutor in a high school after-school program. I am interested in spending some time each week doing something I enjoy– HELPING YOUNG PEOPLE CONQUER MATH.

...bolster their familiarity with American culture and history. I also served as a teaching assistant and worked one-on-one with elementary school students at Camp Invention, a summer camp providing instruction in math and science. In my experience, the greatest strides for teaching a struggling student are made when the process of learning occurs as a product of conversation rather than rigid instruction and rote memorization. Though I tutor across a variety of subjects my passions...

...physical sciences (Chemistry, Physics) and mathematics. Recently, I decided to become part of the Varsity Tutor organization in order to branch out my network. I am most well versed in Chemistry (Physical, Organic, Inorganic, and Analytical) but have taken multiple higher level classes in Physics and Mathematics as well. In my personal experience, students claim the physical sciences can be intimidating and difficult at first glance. However, after students develop a personal connection to their...

...tutored high school students on Precalculus and Calculus. I have equally strong experience teaching and tutoring all three sections of the SAT. What makes me a great tutor is my ability to empathize with the needs of each of my tutees and help them figure out how they best learn the material. My proficiency in the subject and strong teaching background are two different skills; combined together, they make me an understanding and efficient tutor....

...volunteer and private tutor to high school, undergraduate, and graduate students. 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...
