The Algebra Regents exam tests specific skills in a specific format, and knowing the math isn't always enough if you haven't practiced the way New York State frames its questions. Through her mentoring work with local high school students at Cornell's College and Career Readiness Initiative, Victori...

The Algebra Regents covers a wide arc from linear systems to exponential functions, but the exam's constructed-response questions are where most points get lost — students know the math but don't show enough work or explain their reasoning clearly. Heather walks through each problem type with an eye...

The Algebra Regents exam tests specific skills — solving systems, graphing linear and quadratic functions, interpreting word problems with inequalities — and Sabrina knows exactly how each one appears on the test. As a middle school math teacher with over a decade of tutoring experience, she breaks ...

The Algebra Regents exam tests whether students can move fluidly between representations — writing equations from tables, sketching graphs from functions, and interpreting solutions in context. Madhura tackles each of these translations explicitly, especially the constructed-response questions where...

New York's Algebra Regents exam tests linear functions, quadratic equations, systems, and statistics in a very specific format — including constructed-response questions where showing clear work matters as much as getting the right answer. Kaitlyn teaches students how to structure their solutions fo...

Nine years of tutoring math and science across every grade level means Kellyann has built a sharp eye for the foundational gaps — integer operations, order of operations, translating words into expressions — that quietly sabotage students on the Algebra Regents. She connects each concept back to con...

I am a sophomore at Columbia University, studying political science and philosophy. I often like to joke that teaching runs in my blood I come from a family of teachers who instilled in me the passion to help others learn. Since I could grasp concepts I learned in school, I've always gone out of my ...

The Algebra Regents exam tests a specific set of skills — solving systems of equations, graphing linear and quadratic functions, interpreting rate of change, and writing expressions from word problems. Brianna tackles each of these by tying the algebra back to what the question is actually asking, s...

Scoring well on the Algebra Regents means nailing the fundamentals — solving systems of equations, graphing linear and quadratic functions, and interpreting word problems under time pressure. Joseph tackles each of these by teaching students to read problems structurally, identifying what type of eq...

In 2022, I completed my Ph.D. in Chemistry at Vanderbilt University. My goal is to use my expertise in chemistry, algebra, and calculus to help students not only learn but also enjoy these subjects. My favorite subject to teach is general chemistry as it highlights the importance of interdisciplinar...
