Award-Winning SAT Reading Tutors in New Rochelle, NY

...a little more of my background: I graduated with honors from Wesleyan University in 2008 with my BA in Film Studies and then went on to complete a Post-Baccalaureate Pre-Medical program at Hunter College. I expect to enter medical school in 2016 and until then am enjoying this chance to pass on the material I've learned to other students! Since I came to the sciences a little later in life, I learned a lot of...

...my clients, I like working with dedicated, passionate students who are willing to put in the work to achieve their goals. For me, tutoring is about working with a student until they are able to achieve their goal, and even beyond that so that they have the confidence to continue pursuing their dreams. I'm very patient, calm, and thorough when covering a subject, and I truly enjoy watching my students transform into confident, knowledgeable people...

...open up new doors of expression that may have previously been unexplored. I think that if you believe in your ability to clearly articulate yourself, you can feel more free in pretty much every aspect of your life, especially in your relationships-- and I believe that freedom translates directly into academic success.

...Learning Commons learn subjects such as Algebra, Trigonometry, and Differential and Integral Calculus. I've also worked with students studying for the SAT and SHSAT. I'd say that I'm a tutor that tries to diagnose and treat issues as quickly as possible by having the student talk through their thought processes while they work. I don't think it's particularly helpful to handhold students through the problems without letting them first take a crack at them by...

...that everyone is able to not only do well in school, but to fall in love with learning in the process. Anyone can enrich themselves through learning. This is the foundation of my teaching philosophy: in addition to emphasizing results and academic achievement, I believe it is integral to find an individual approach to each student and to focus first and foremost on teaching students to study in a way that is effective and engaging....

...q & a sessions are outdated and a banal approach to actually getting through to a student. Instead, I believe it is the duty of a tutor to inspire his/her tutees with creative study ideas and helpful organizational skills that they will be able to implement on their own outside the tutorial session. I also believe that as a tutor it is my duty to not only make sure my tutees have mastered their material,...

...through fun learning games or real-life examples. Having recently taken both the ACT and SAT multiple times, I am familiar with both exams and know what it takes to do well on them. I am also familiar with the college application process, as I was going through it myself a two years ago. Many rounds of editing my own essays has taught me how to effectively structure both the essays and supplements. I love helping...

...Health Studies at NYU. I have always found it hard to find a teacher who is willing to alter their teaching style in order for me to learn. Thus, I try my best to understand a students learning style so that I can teach in a manner they will understand the most.

"I am still learning" - Michelangelo age 87 In order to learn you have to want to learn, but that's easier said than done. My philosophy is that there is always something that can motivate you to learn, whether that be better career opportunities, higher test scores, or simply wanting to be a better you. Let's work together and unlock that potential.

...guide them through their school selections, exam preparations, and college essays. I attended one of New York's prestigious high schools and have tutored students to prepare them for the SHSAT.

I am so excited to work with my students and help them...

...the Lawrenceville School. I volunteered twice a week, taught poetry and dance classes, and developed programming at HomeWorks, an after-school boarding program for public high-school students in Trenton, NJ.

When I consider the challenges and joys of teaching young students writing,...

I am fully bilingual in English and Russian and have professional experience teaching ESL and EFL to children and adult learners.

...variety of subjects, but my favorite has to be tutoring Math, from Pre-Algebra to Calculus, because a lot of students seem to dread doing math and I love it when I'm able to explain a difficult concept so that it finally clicks for them and they hate the subject a little less. Outside of academia, I enjoy wandering the city with my friends, trying out new dessert places, reading, and watching Netflix.

...and a Master of Arts for Teachers degree from the same school. I am certified as a high school math teacher and currently work part-time as an SHSAT and SAT prep teacher.

I believe that with hard work and determination, every student...

...has helped me grow as a tutor and become more flexible through experimenting and developing different teaching modes. In high school, learning to manage my time helped me dissect my learning style which resulted in more efficient and effective study methods.
