Award-Winning SAT Writing and Language Tutors serving Manhattan, NY

...in conversation and listening to it on the page we come to love its power and its pleasures. As a REACH Mentor at Regis High School and an Activity Head at Brewster Day Camp, I've learned that listening is just as important in being a good teacher. Each child has a different relationship with language, and improving that relationship is impossible without first understanding it. English isn't just a subject taught in school; it's how...

...or empty praise, but by having them practice and learn to believe in themselves. Too often, people are derailed by factors that have nothing to do with their intelligence or their ability. I am well aware of that, and as a tutor, I consider it my job to give my students the confidence to apply the knowledge they have gained. That confidence will serve them well not only now but in future endeavors as well.

...various capacities. I've tutored a wide range of subjects including SAT and ACT test prep, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus, American History, World History, Economics, U.S. Government, English Literature, Writing, and many areas of science. In my spare time, I love watching sports, movies and reading with my two dogs. While I primarily read nonfiction books, there is seldom a Harry Potter trivia question that I cannot answer.

...then went on to get my MA in International Relations from Central European University in Budapest. I was born in Bosnia and moved to the US when I was 6.

...positions for writing as I transition to graduate school next year at Columbia University for fiction. My entire academic career has focused on meaning that could be derived from literature, and articulating those ideas through written or verbal communication.

I also work as a math tutor with SAGA Innovations during the week.... I like...

...towards my Bachelor in Arts, I tutored Math to young students at Best In Class Education Center in Fort Bend, Texas. Prior to that teaching experience, I also tutored SAT Math.

...and achieve their goal scores. Sometimes, a little motivation is all that is needed for a student to excel, and I always work to relate what I am tutoring to a student's interests, both academic and extra-curricular. I rowed varsity crew for three years in high school and one year at Columbia; I also love learning new languages, exploring New York's culinary scene, and (attempting to) recreate some of the dishes on my own!

...lesson plans and methods of instruction. I am also extremely patient and thorough when reviewing concepts and practice problems; I am more than willing to discuss a concept two or three times in varying ways if that is what the student requires. Furthermore, I always make sure to communicate effectively with parents/guardians so that they are aware of their children's progress and understand the teaching landmarks I have set for the student.... I believe that all...

...Outside of work (where I am a management consultant), I play hockey and piano. Since high school, I have helped fellow students with academics. At school, I was also a tutor through Penn's Tutoring Center. I think what makes me a successful tutor is the ability to not only understand the material but also the perspective of the tutee. This helps me convey necessary information in the best way possible for that particular student.

Outside of tutoring, I work as a scientist at a healthcare startup, and when I'm not...
