Award-Winning Science Tutors serving Westchester, NY

...I employ as a tutor, I stress self-help strategies to ensure that students do not become dependent on the crutch of a 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...

I always begin assessing the current knowledge base and level...

...for upcoming tests. This past fall, I lived in Padua, Italy as an au pair for a family with a 6 year-old and an 8 year-old. I got to improve my Italian, drink delicious cappuccino with the other au pairs in the mornings while looking out over the beautiful piazzas, and travel all around Italy. I even went to the largest chocolate festival in all of Europe! Now that I’m back in the states, I...

I have two years of experience working in formal education including day-to-day substituting in Brookline and long-term class coverage in Boston, as well as experience in private, non-essential education (teaching with Education First in Quito, Ecuador). While I very much enjoy classroom teaching, the one-to-one or small-group teaching I did with Education First is something that I found to be most rewarding. Really being able to form close relationships with a small number of students...

My schedule is very flexible and I am happy to give as much of my time as needed. I am grateful for the educational resources that I've...

...and making material as accessible as possible, breaking down what may be difficult subject matter into terms and concepts that they already understand. I firmly believe in the potential of every student to grasp material that they may think is out of reach, and aim to reduce the stress factor of studying as much as possible. Outside of tutoring, I am a professional actor and playwright, and in my free time (a rare, mystical thing...

...test results. I left teaching to pursue a role as a financial analyst, but I have maintained a full roster of 1-1 private students since.

I have been teaching students for the past ten years. I love watching a student grow and achieve their goals!

Currently, I focus my tutoring on MCAT test preparation and Environmental Science & Engineering; my two main passions! I look forward to working with...

...creative writing, and perfecting the poached egg (the key is vinegar). In my spare time I act, perform improv, and think about how great dogs are. As a tutor, I believe my greatest strength is that I am not a textbook. I'm here to make even the driest material interesting and personally relatable, and to talk out difficulties when they arise. I hate memorizing, and would much prefer to make everything from Biology to History...

I spent three years as a chemistry graduate student at Columbia, receiving a master's degree in chemistry and serving as a teaching assistant in general chemistry courses, before I found that my real passion was for teaching. Since then I have been a substitute teacher for middle school science and exploring other science teaching and communications opportunities. I was a chemistry and philosophy double major in college and my approach to teaching has always been...

...trying to figure out how to push towards a perfect score, I know the steps necessary to help that student reach his or her goal. I also have experience tutoring high-school and college-level mathematics, and I regularly write and edit written works, including scholarly papers and judicial opinions, for possible publication. I have a passion for the subjects that usually appear on standardized tests, and I have loved having an opportunity to create that sense...

...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 helpful tools and tricks to make these subjects more accessible and easier to remember. I myself am a visual learner, so I love to incorporate the use of drawings, diagrams, mnemonics, and other learning devices into my instruction. Finding a good fit for...
