Molly

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +36 Subjects

Currently I am a graduate student in Stanford University's Master's Program for Human Genetics and Genetic Counseling. Prior to my enrollment at Stanford, I worked as a Genetic Counseling Assistant for Igenomix, a genetic testing laboratory. I graduated from Cornell University in December of 2021 with a BS in Biological Sciences and a minor in Education. As a student, I was a member of a research lab that works with the genetic basis of epilepsy in fruit flies as well as an undergraduate TA for a genetics laboratory course at Cornell. While I tutor a range of subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring biology and genetics, as that is where most of my expertise lies. I have enjoyed tutoring SAT and ACT math and science sections in the past and have found students have great success on these stressful tests after seeking out help from tutors like me. In my free time I love watching TV shows with my friends, being active, and painting. I am also a Crisis Text Line volunteer and enjoy taking shifts to help people through difficult times.

Angela

Regents Tutor • +8 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of The University of Pennsylvania. I received my Bachelor of Arts with honors in Neuroscience with two minors in Chemistry and East Asian Area Studies. After graduation, I am now pursuing a Master of Science in Neuroscience at the University College London. I have been tutoring since I was 18 for students aged 4 to 12. Additionally, I was also hired as a teaching assistant in the Department of Chemistry during my last year of undergraduate studies. While I have tutored a few subjects before, I am most passionate about English as a second language, Chemistry, and Chinese language (conversational as well). As a first-generation graduate, I believe education has a crucial impact on life, and I want to contribute back to the teaching community the same way I was influenced in academia. In my leisure time, I enjoy working out, traveling, going to concerts, and trying all kinds of cuisines!

Emily

AP Statistics Tutor • +104 Subjects

I'm a educator and visual artist with many years of experience teaching and tutoring high school and college students. I have a BA in Political Science from New College of Florida and a MFA in Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design. While I'm a photographer by trade, I also have a passion for and expertise in Math and the Natural Sciences -- as well as French and Spanish, having studied and worked in both Paris and Central America. While I'm proficient now, I struggled with both languages early on, and understand the challenges of both starting a new language and in moving from a conversational to a more proficient level. I'm also available for ACT and SAT test prep -- and work especially well with students who are visual learners (though I have a wide range of materials and resources for all styles of learning!).

Alysse

AP Calculus BC Tutor • +43 Subjects

I am also part of the BS/MD program between Adelphi University and SUNY Upstate Medical University. This means that right out of high school, I was guaranteed admission to medical school in 4 years! I will be majoring in Biology. To work towards my goal of becoming an Interventional Cardiologist, I am currently conducting research in Cardiology at St. Francis Hospital, where I also volunteer every year. I tutor in ACT subjects, SAT subjects, AP subjects, Biology, Spanish, and much more! I have successfully obtained my New York State Seal of Biliteracy in Spanish, one of the subjects I'm most passionate about. Being an AP Scholar with Distinction and a recipient of the AP Capstone Diploma has allowed me to tutor an academically diverse array of students. I have tutored previously through afterschool homework help programs at my high school, as well as through Math, Science, and National Honor Society opportunities. However, having been a Children's Museum volunteer and a baseball coach, I enjoy watching young kids and teens improve in not just school, but in many aspects of life. I love teaching by incorporating these different aspects of life (including favorite activities) into different subjects so as to make the learning process more fun and engaging!

Frequently Asked Questions

Students typically find quadratic equations, systems of equations, and polynomial operations most challenging. Many also struggle with translating word problems into algebraic expressions—a skill heavily tested on the Regents. Additionally, graphing functions and interpreting transformations of parent functions trip up students who haven't internalized the connection between equations and their visual representations. A tutor can identify which of these areas are holding you back and build targeted practice around them.

The Regents has 37 questions across multiple choice and constructed response sections, with a 3-hour time limit. Most students benefit from spending 1-2 minutes per multiple choice question, saving 45-60 minutes for the longer constructed response problems where you must show all work. A tutor can help you practice pacing by working through full-length practice tests under timed conditions, identifying which question types slow you down, and developing strategies to skip difficult problems strategically and return to them later.

Constructed response questions require you to show all work and explain your reasoning—partial credit is available even if your final answer is wrong. Start by clearly stating what you're solving for, write out each algebraic step, and explain your reasoning when asked. Common mistakes include skipping steps (which costs points), making arithmetic errors mid-solution, or failing to check if your answer makes sense in context. Tutors who specialize in Regents prep can review your work to ensure you're earning maximum partial credit and catching careless errors before test day.

Taking full-length practice tests under timed conditions is the most effective way to pinpoint gaps. After each test, analyze which topics appear in questions you missed—you might notice a pattern (e.g., you consistently struggle with exponential functions or solving rational equations). A tutor can help you interpret your practice test results, prioritize which topics to review based on frequency and difficulty, and create a focused study plan that targets your specific weaknesses rather than re-studying material you already know.

Test anxiety often stems from uncertainty about whether you can solve problems under pressure. Repeated practice with authentic Regents questions and full-length exams builds genuine confidence because you've actually solved those types of problems before. A tutor can also teach you strategies for managing anxiety in the moment—like taking deep breaths before hard questions, using scratch paper to organize your thinking, and recognizing that you don't need to get every question right to pass. Knowing you've practiced extensively and have a solid plan reduces the panic that interferes with problem-solving.

Word problems require you to extract mathematical information from text, decide which operations or equations apply, solve, and interpret your answer in context—multiple steps where mistakes can happen. Students often rush through reading or misidentify what the problem is asking. A tutor can teach you a systematic approach: underline key information, define variables clearly, write the equation or system that matches the situation, solve step-by-step, and always check whether your answer makes sense (e.g., can a distance be negative?). Regular practice with Regents-style word problems helps you recognize common patterns and build speed.

The Regents provides a reference sheet with some formulas (like the quadratic formula and basic geometric area/volume formulas), but many essential algebraic formulas and properties are not included—you must know them. This includes factoring patterns, exponent rules, properties of equality, and function transformations. A tutor can help you distinguish between what you need to memorize versus what you can look up, and create effective study strategies (like flashcards or formula review sheets) to lock in the formulas you'll need to recall during the exam.

An effective schedule typically spans 4-8 weeks before the exam, with 3-4 study sessions per week. Early weeks focus on reviewing individual topics (polynomials, quadratics, systems) with targeted practice problems. Middle weeks shift to mixed-topic problem sets to build the ability to identify which skills apply. Final weeks emphasize full-length practice tests taken under timed conditions, followed by detailed review of errors. A tutor can customize this timeline based on your starting point and help you stay accountable—research on spaced repetition shows that spreading practice over weeks is far more effective than cramming days before the test.
