Award-Winning SAT Math Tutors for Students in Hempstead, NY

I am a tutor for most Math subject areas, including Algebra 1/2, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, SAT Math, and AB Calculus. I am a graduate of Columbia University. I strive to make sure my clients reach their potential and achieve their highest grade possible.

Recent Northwestern graduate with a major in Cognitive Science and a minor in Music. I tutor a variety of Test Prep/English subjects and really enjoy adding context about the importance of these areas in everyday life. As a tutor, I emphasize the importance of patience and steady progress towards understanding the material. Outside of academia, I'm a obsessive music nerd and an enthusiastic watcher of too many TV shows.

I began tutoring at a local tutoring center, and I tutored a variety of age groups, ranging from middle schoolers to high schoolers. I love staying active, whether it be riding my bike or playing basketball. I have a passion for chess as well as reading, and I enjoy trying new things.

...first time, I took seriously all of the pressures on this position--out of school political fighting, in school political fighting, funding shortages, etc. It was not clear to me at the time, but teachers do one of the most difficult jobs and receive the least amount of respect for it--not to mention a salary that rarely reflects their efforts and impact. For me, tutoring excises some of these political issues, allowing me to focus entirely...

...assistant and it deepened my passion for education (as well as my passion for flan). When I got back to the US, I decided I wanted to try some other fields before I committed to education. I worked for two and a half years as Spanish-English medical interpreter helping Spanish-speaking patients communicate with their doctors. After that, I worked for an immigration lawyer. Both of these jobs were incredible experiences, but I found the things...

...math, and different programming languages. I have worked on multiple programs in C and Python across various projects I've learned in introductory courses and am a very hands on tutor. I believe in a visual based teaching approach, making use of PowerPoint and other visual aids like the digital whiteboard to work out practice solutions. I also use Zoom for video conferencing where I can screen share PowerPoint slides to directly engage the student. I...

...science. In the past, I've tutored in math and writing at both high school and collegiate levels. These experiences have been thoroughly enjoyable because, in addition to teaching, I was able to get to know my students by chatting about life outside of the classroom. Tutoring has and continues to be a pursuit of mine because making complicated concepts intuitive to others gives me a strong sense of fulfillment. I would love the opportunity to...

I strive to connect with each student by tailoring my approach to their unique learning styles, helping them to navigate complex scientific concepts with confidence. My motivation for tutoring stems from a genuine desire to inspire curiosity and foster growth in my students. I am excited to contribute my...

...students' needs. I believe in helping students develop the skills they need to solve problems and master the material they are learning. Before attending Cornell, I was a student at Brooklyn Technical High School. As a result, I have a lot of experience with standardized tests such as the SHSAT, SAT, and AP exams. I believe in not only helping students work through specific material, but helping them to develop strong study habits that will...

I've been tutoring formally and informally throughout the past seven years; during that time, I've developed my belief in a "person-first" approach to tutoring. To succeed, you need more than just some academic knowledge -- you need the right mindset and a confidence in your own abilities as well. I try to instill that into my students.

...subjects and levels. First, at Stony Brook University, I was a Teaching Assistant (TA) for Biology, Chemistry, Biology Lab, Art History, Precalculus, Calculus, Sociology, Writing, and Women's Studies. Next, at University of Michigan, I was a Graduate Student Instructor (GSI) for Women's Studies and Psychology. Most recently, I was a math teacher at Esperanza Prep Academy and Independence High School in NYC. Last but certainly not least, I have been a SAT, SAT II, and...

...belief in the power of technology and communication to affect meaningful mirco and marco change. I have had a variety of different experiences in politics, communications, and journalism. In 2016, I had the opportunity to work on the Hillary for America campaign with the communications team where I learned the ins and outs of political campaigns and political communications. After the election, I went to work as an editorial intern at VICE News. At VICE,...

...can be understood if the material is presented in a manner that a student finds relatable. After my first year of medical school, I spent the summer working as a Gross Anatomy teacher for PA and PT students. This was hands down my favorite job and I became very invested in my students success, often staying far later than required to ensure my students were confident with the material. In addition to teaching, I act...

...Economics. I have been tutoring students ever since high school in a wide variety of subjects. In high school I tutored underclassmen across subjects, in college I tutored freshman and sophomores in General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry, and since college I have tutored students taking Organic Chemistry to get into medical school. I am clearly passionate about Chemistry, but also both Spanish, as I love to travel and use my language knowledge abroad, and Economics,...

...on the same "page" as my students, I make it my priority to always explain as thoroughly as possible, what practical benefits are, of learning the lesson that I'm teaching. If the students can connect the lessons with their interests, desires and motivations; the students will be fully ready, willing and able to learn and retain the information from the lessons on a consistent basis. I've spent most of my teaching career in the New...

...my Bachelor of Science in economics. After graduating, I immediately moved to New York City to attend Columbia Law School, where I will receive my JD in May, 2015. Throughout undergraduate, I regularly tutored economics, math, and statistics courses at the school's tutoring center, and helped several students to turn around their class performance. I also enjoy helping students prepare for standardized test, whether that be the SAT or the LSAT. Especially with regard to...

...your life. I have never been disappointed with having gained knowledge. I have found this truth to improve my circumstances in my professional and personal life. Sharing our knowledge is one of the greatest gifts we can give for individuals and for society as a whole. I seek to bring a joy and light-heartedness to learning that will encourage the student to overcome and perceived weaknesses and build confidence in their ability to learn on...

...Political Science with a focus on quantitative methods (regression, applied econometrics, experimental methods). My teaching experience in the past has included SAT/ACT prep, essay revision, mathematics tutoring, and specific SAT Subject Test tutoring. Now that I've almost finished my time as a college student, I would be happy to walk other students through ways to read an academic text, study methods, and specific college coursework questions. I am a previous teacher through Americorps in their...
