Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!
Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

Frequently Asked Questions
The Regents Geometry Exam requires students to move beyond memorizing formulas—they need to understand spatial reasoning, logical proofs, and how geometric concepts connect. Many students struggle with the proof-writing section, which demands both mathematical knowledge and clear communication of their thinking. Additionally, the exam mixes multiple question formats (multiple choice, short answer, and extended response), so students need to adapt their approach depending on what each question requires. Time management is another common challenge, as students must balance accuracy with completing all sections within the allotted timeframe.
Score improvement varies based on a student's starting point and commitment to practice. Students who work consistently with a tutor and complete practice problems between sessions often see meaningful gains—typically 5-15 percentage points or more over several months. The key is identifying specific weak areas (like coordinate geometry, circle theorems, or proofs) and targeting those systematically. Early intervention makes the biggest difference, so students who start tutoring several months before the exam tend to see stronger results than those who wait until a few weeks before the test date.
Proof-writing is a skill that improves with practice and pattern recognition. Effective strategies include: studying worked examples to understand how theorems connect, practicing two-column and paragraph proofs separately, and learning to identify which theorems are most commonly tested. Many students benefit from creating a personal reference sheet of key theorems and properties they can quickly recall during practice. A tutor can help students recognize proof patterns and teach them how to work backward from the conclusion to identify what statements they'll need—a technique that makes proof construction feel less intimidating.
A balanced approach typically works best: consistent weekly tutoring sessions (1-2 per week) combined with independent practice between sessions. Spacing practice over several months is more effective than cramming, because it allows concepts to solidify and helps students retain information longer. A realistic timeline is 3-4 months of preparation for students who need significant skill-building. Each tutoring session should focus on a specific topic or question type, followed by homework that reinforces what was covered. As the exam approaches, shift toward full-length practice tests and review of mistakes to identify remaining weak spots.
Coordinate geometry requires students to bridge algebraic and geometric thinking—they need to translate between equations, graphs, and geometric properties. Common stumbling blocks include using the distance formula, finding slopes of perpendicular lines, and understanding how transformations affect coordinates. Many students also struggle because coordinate geometry problems often combine multiple concepts (like finding the intersection of two lines or proving a quadrilateral is a parallelogram using coordinates). A tutor can help by breaking these problems into smaller steps and showing how each algebraic calculation connects to the geometric shape being analyzed.
Building confidence through familiarity is the most effective antidote to test anxiety. When students complete multiple practice tests under timed conditions, they become comfortable with the question formats and develop strategies for pacing. A tutor can also teach students to manage anxiety in the moment: reading questions carefully to avoid careless mistakes, skipping difficult problems and returning to them later, and using the last few minutes to double-check work on questions they're confident about. Practice tests should start in a low-pressure environment, then gradually introduce time constraints so students can adapt their approach before exam day.
The best tutors understand both the content and the test format deeply—they know which concepts are most heavily tested and can explain why certain mistakes are common. Look for tutors who teach problem-solving strategies alongside content, who are patient with proof-writing (since it's often the most frustrating topic), and who use practice tests strategically to identify gaps. A great tutor also helps students understand not just the 'how' but the 'why' behind geometric concepts, because deeper understanding leads to better retention and stronger performance on questions that test application rather than recall.
