Award-Winning SSAT Tutors serving White Plains, NY

...passion for studying people and cultures and have found great success teaching my students to both understand and appreciate the power of a good narrative both in history and literature. People often think of history as a series of facts or see a reading assignment as an exercise in memorizing plot points. Through an understanding of narrative my students and I build reading comprehension and writing skills that translate into greater success in all disciplines.

...Math. I enjoy helping students understand and like subjects that they often struggled with in the past. I always say, "There are many ways to explain the same point, you just have to find the one that you understand." I believe that it is our responsibility to pass our knowledge on to the next generation. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing, going to the theater, and exploring new ideas in science.

...in all subject areas. My strongest subject is Mathematics and I also believe in the development of good study habits in all areas, thus I feel that students still need to be taught what is good studying, how to stay organized and focus on a study plan for success. Once a struggling shy student myself, I can be relatable and understanding on the obstacles of what's keeping a student from achieving their potential.

Passionate lifelong learner and educator who believes that all learners are special, learn differently, and have the desire to excel. Not all great minds think alike, we all think differently as our skills and talents shape us and make us who we are- education is a gift that should be shared and recycled infinitely :)

...and I continue to teach lessons in music. My enthusiasm for working with students continues to grow as I meet more capable, intelligent young people who often just need insight into how to tackle the mass of material they receive in the classroom. My background is as a classically trained singer, and I know first-hand the value of seeking the best help to improve one’s skills. I moved to New York City to continue my...

...and Psychometrics. My evaluations (from both faculty and students) as a college professor are universally excellent, and reflect my ability to motivate students, clearly structure lessons, and make very complex material understandable. I have taught college-level statistics many times, and have done graduate-level statistics as part of my research. SPSS is no problem. Name a field of psychology: I've probably taught it, and can tutor it. These would include developmental, neurobiological, personality, clinical, and cognitive....

...high schoolers. Predominantly, I tutor Algebra I-IV and Essay Writing/Editing, but also tutor Calc I, Trigonometry, Pre-Calc, and Pre-Algebra. I love to help people succeed, and that's what I focus on when tutoring. Together we will find the right pace for your sessions and I will help you better understand the material. Outside of tutoring, I am an actor/composer/lyricist who loves to write new showtunes. Musical theatre is something I have grown to love, and...

...sister. I grew up with strong educational values to always put my studies first. I hold fast to my values since the better educated you are, the more opportunities open up for you. My father started teaching me Algebra when I was in the fourth grade and since I was always good at it, math has been my favorite subject. From this experience I know that when math subjects are explained properly, it can be...

...with a range of tutoring expertise. I have three years of experience tutoring math and chemistry through the AP level, but I am now studying Comparative Literature, so I can also tutor writing and other humanities subjects. I am also comfortable tutoring a variety of standardized tests. I received 99th percentile scores on the ACT, the SAT, and the SSAT, and 5s on 8 different AP tests (Calculus BC, Physics C: Mechanics, Physics C: E&M,...

...Teaching. I have traveled extensively in Europe over the years, and I am always on the lookout for new learning experiences that I can share with my students. I do not hesitate to share with them pictures and stories of the places I have visited which connect to literature because they can see that I am not only knowledgeable about the printed word, but that I have experienced some of what we are reading. I...

I love teaching and working with students and I take great satisfaction in watching their scores and confidence level increase as we continue to work together! I have tutored kids as part of a community outreach program. The children I've tutored have shown sharp improvements in their grades and understanding of substantive material. I find it incredibly rewarding.

...learn because it is part of everyday life and, honestly, what would life be without math? I also tutor in Spanish. Nowadays in this world being bilingual is very important so I can provide with that help as well.

I'm able to work with students individually or in groups to...

...state exams and tests are designed to fail hasty test takers, but my techniques allow students to eschew these pitfalls. In addition to tutoring, I have three years experience teaching high school English: American Literature, AP English Language & Composition and AP English Literature. Some of my best days have been in these classrooms, and it is my passion to explore the world of reading, writing and language with students. I am very familiar with...

...child struggled in multiplication and division problems. However, I provided the child with successful math strategies such as multiplying and dividing numbers one digit at a time, giving the student more confidence in math. Also, I myself had somewhat struggled in AP Calculus BC during high school, so I understand how students struggle with how to approach math problems. Alongside that, I developed techniques that are guaranteed to work, including doing math problems one operation...

Our program strives to make neuroscience education more engaging and accessible, to empower and inspire young students by extending mentoring resources to local East Harlem public schools.

...interactive SmartBoard and enthusiasm to connect with my students while teaching Math. At one point, TFA asked me to give a seminar to other Corps Members that taught them how to make their presentations more interactive and engaging. I learned how to manage multiple projects and people, while continuing to develop professionally. I engaged with the community, located just blocks from Columbia University, and began to understand the fragmentation of New York City.

I work well with students in the medical field and can tutor for qualifying exams IELTS, GRE Psychology, MCAT Psychology, EPPP.

I find tutoring to be a fulfilling and rewarding experience for both parties involved, and I take great pride in enriching students who are struggling with their academic pursuits.
