Award-Winning SAT Writing and Language Tutors serving Nassau County, NY

...University. After an intensive application cycle and four years of college, I hope to be able to impart to others the wisdom I have learned.

Everyone deserves to unlock their full potential, and I can't wait to be a part of that! I love...

...including Algebra, Data Analysis, and Programming (Python, Java, C++). My favorite subject to tutor is Algebra because I enjoy breaking down complex problems into manageable steps, helping students build confidence and realize that they can excel in math. My teaching philosophy is centered around empathy, patience, and adaptability. I believe that every student has a unique learning style, and my job as a tutor is to identify and support that style. I strive to create a...

...we've always had a total blast-- it's like a puzzle in a challenging video game, a newly-discovered leitmotif, or even an unexpected formation shift on the soccer pitch. I firmly believe that every student has the potential to truly connect and engage with the test material, whether it be the LSAT, the SAT, the AP, the Regents, or even the CogAT. Additionally, as an alumnus of my school district's 3rd-8th grade "gifted" program, I learned...

...to the student as possible. Everyone learns in a unique was, and I adapt my teaching style to best accommodate my student. I've tutored students in writing, reading, test prep, and math, in both one-on-one sessions and in groups. I'm most passionate about teaching writing. Whether it's a college essay or a book report, I believe empowering a student to communicate in their own voice is one of the most crucial skills someone can have....

...I graduated from college but a few short years ago, student loan-free, due to an honors scholarship I received on the basis of academic merit. While I remain forever grateful to the City University system for providing me with a proper education, gratis, as it were, my true debt lies with the hardworking men and women who spent valuable time tutoring me during high school. I can honestly say that without their help, both on...

...I hope to do that for others. While in college, I tutored music theory, ear training, and piano. Music has always been one of my favorite subjects to help others with because I come from a household of musicians!

...Arabic class. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate in the subjects of English/Literature, History, and Biology. I also enjoy helping students prepare for standardized tests. I believe that a good education is vital in one's life and every child has the potential to excel.

Ask what connection a task has to your life and the things you care about as a way of awakening your interest. Let's focus...

...in each of these areas. My approach is individualized intervention strategies tied to "real-world" applications of skills. This assures that students are not just learning content, but understand the context in which the content is useful for college and career success. Ninety-six percent of my students passed the state ELA exam after being scored below grade level the previous school year. I enjoy teaching language arts because I believe it's the gateway to understanding ourselves...

...own weekly office hours. I loved not only teaching students how to solve problems, but also empowering them to get over the same hurdles I struggled with myself when I took those same courses my freshman year. The subjects I would love to tutor are MCAT studying, biology (including cell biology, neuroscience, genetics, etc.), algebra-based physics, and anatomy & physiology (which is my favorite, but I think I am biased as a med student).
