Award-Winning SSAT Tutors in Westchester, NY

...I have extensive experience (5+ years) tutoring students for the SAT and ACT. I got a 2370 on my SAT (800 Math, 780 Critical Reading, 790 Writing) and a 35 on my ACT. I am also very familiar with the SSAT and ISEE exams. After graduating from Yale University with a BA and MA in history I taught English in South Korea for a year before moving home and becoming a tutor full-time.

My bachelor's degree in math comes from Fairmont State University. I have over four years of experience in NYC public schools, and I'm embarrassed by the lack of effort put forth to instill the importance of a Mathematical mind. I feel like my love and enthusiasm for Math makes me an excellent tutor.

...have ranged from early elementary school students with reading difficulties all the way up to graduate students who needed help getting articles ready for publication.

...I am therefore committed to helping students find ways to understand the process, not just the final product. To me, this is the most rewarding aspect of teaching, and it requires patience, encouragement, and enthusiasm. As a private music teacher for both children and adults, I know how to joke and motivate without talking down to my students. Being a teaching assistant and seminar leader have given me important skills in creating a fun learning...

I work and live in New York City. I grew up in Knoxville, TN and went to the University of Pittsburgh, where I studied economics and political science. I'm light-hearted but take academics very seriously. In all of my lessons I combine my curiosity about the world with the idea that learning can be fun.

...NYU where I studied public health, biology, and studio art. I have been teaching in the sciences and humanities for nine years as a private tutor and have also worked as a health educator at Peer Health Exchange and employee of the NYU University Learning Center.
