Award-Winning SAT Reading Tutors in Westchester, NY

...the importance of teaching, practice, sound strategy and motivation to improve any performance. I also have an advanced math aptitude that I put to use in business analysis, problem-solving (for fun!) and tutoring middle- and high-school students. I have tutored all subjects and strategies for ACT and SAT test prep. I am also the parent of teenagers (boy and girl), who have helped me understand the value of patience and encouragement when tackling high school...

...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. Having a patient and understanding tutor can make all the difference now that I'm in a position to help people, it's only natural I give back just like that upperclassman did all those years ago.

Hi there! My name is Erica. I graduated from Columbia University, where I studied the intersection of popular culture and politics. I like to write about comedy, dance, and New York arts and culture. I would love to share my enthusiasm for US history, social justice, and semicolons with students!

...tutor or teacher. Often, a student may work well with an instructor but is unable to solve problems or understand concepts alone. I make sure to prod students in the appropriate direction of thinking, without blatantly doing the problems for them. I do not give out any rules unless the student understands how the rule was established. Through these techniques, the student retains the information and becomes a better, more independent problem-solver.... Among the techniques I...

...difficult concepts through examples, illustrations, and analogies. Through my great amount of teaching experience, I have worked with a diverse array of students and enjoy supporting all types of individuals with their many learning needs. Since graduating from NYU, I have spent three months in Uganda conducting public health outreach in rural villages and am now interviewing for medical schools. Outside of my professional aspirations, I also enjoy competitive weightlifting, hip-hop dance, traveling, drawing, painting,...

...in New York studying 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...

I graduated as the valedictorian of my high school class and moved to New York to study philosophy at Columbia University.

...Computer Science and Business Analytics & IT. Some of the subjects I tutor are Algebra, Calculus I & II, and the SAT, but there are many more you can inquire about. I love tutoring students because I know how much a tutor can inspire a student to improve, and I hope to offer that to my own students. Some of my personal hobbies when not tutoring or studying are playing tennis and photography.

...good book. My tutoring philosophy is one of individualized attention and goal setting, where the tutor and the student work together to set realistic goals, and then identify the roadblocks preventing the student from achieving his or her goal. We then work together to surmount these obstacles, allowing the student to actualize his or her goal. I also try to identify the source of a student's obstacles, and work to solve these fundamental issues as...

...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 someone to master a subject, he or she must practice the methods...

...result, it's a goal of mine to make learning as engaging and enlightening as possible. I am always interested in finding new ways to approach problems, and I value each student for the unique things that only they can bring to the table.* *I studied for three years at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, earning my B.A. in Theatre. I moved to New York City right after graduation, and right at the same time as the...

...is not just to educate but to prepare. My goal as a teacher and a tutor is to differentiate my instruction as finely as possible so that every student is prepared to demonstrate their knowledge on an examination and to consciously implement said knowledge in a way that improves their everyday life. This passion for teaching is matched by a passion for the written word. In the past ten years, I have been a regular...

...that I have had the most success--as well as the most fun-- teaching both academic students as well as those preparing for entrance exams such as the ACT and SAT. I love being able to impact my students' lives in a meaningful way through enriching their educational experience. In my spare time, I am a crafts enthusiast, usually working on multiple sewing and other projects at once, reading fantasy and science fiction novels, and following...

...in. I believe a good tutor must do more than teach content. She offers positive reinforcement and guidance, discerning aid every step of the way. Outside of academia, I act and sing in musicals and choirs, do improv comedy, visit art museums, and run around the city in pursuit of food. I like to eat. I also love reading, although it's harder and harder to make time for that. I enjoy few things more than...

...you're willing to do it for free, you have found your passion. I love being able to share my strengths and passion with students. I have tutored students in Pre-K to college level math. I have found that most students who have struggled in math never built a strong foundation. They have struggled previously in a building block of a topic they are currently trying to master. I make sure my students understand and practice...

I am especially passionate about tutoring mathematics, given that I have a very thorough understanding of all facets of the subject, and have always been gifted at helping pass that understanding onto my students. I also tutor subject tests, such as the SAT, ACT, and AP tests, and can give my tutees a feeling of true confidence when they sit down to take those exams. I have found that the biggest obstacle that...

...studied Cognitive Science and Theater. I am pursuing a career as an actor, but am thrilled to continue to flex my intellectual side and share my passion for learning with the next generation. In college, I studied Cognitive Science, not so much as a fallback career, but because I am fascinated by the subject. I succeeded in getting into Northwestern without the aid of any academic tutors or test prep classes. As such, I am...

...working one on one with students to identify how best they learn and help them master their own learning style. I went on to work for another, more individualized company as a lead academic tutor in test prep and multiple subjects. I was recruited by an online tutoring firm to write and perform their ACT prep video series. I currently assist students in Liberal Arts Studies through the Writing Center at the Juilliard School, and...
