Award-Winning Trigonometry Tutors in Bergen County, NJ

...in cardiology and pursuing a Master’s Degree in Public Health at SUNY Downstate. I graduated Summa Cum Laude as a Biomedical major at Brooklyn Technical High School, where I tutored fellow classmates for the SAT/ PSAT/ SSAT/ SHSAT, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Calculus, and AP US History exams. This is in addition to serving as Class President in the Student Government. The medical profession is a long journey with many tests along the way....

...sure that they have a solid foundation in the subject being studied and work with them on areas of trouble. I simplify ideas as much as possible and correlate them to real life scenarios whenever possible to help students remember them. I also help students develop mnemonic techniques to help them remember particularly difficult concepts. Outside of academia, I enjoy reading poetry and scientific magazines such as MIT Tech Review and Popular Science. I also...

...Dynamics. When my student has hardship in a topic of Mathematics or Physics, my method includes helping the student to rediscover the solution by her/himself. This means she/he starts from the simple and well-known rules of the subject and with subtle hint will be able to derive the more complex solution. This is teaching to fish that is a lifetime gift rather than giving a fish that is only sufficient for the particular occasion. I'm...

...is always focused on the individual student and his/her specific learning needs. I would be especially interested in a tutoring opportunity that involves academic/study skills advising and coaching. I have passed the Praxis Mathematics certification exams with a Certificate of Excellence (top 15%) and hold two NJ teacher's certificates.  In 1997, I was awarded the Geraldine R. Dodge Fellowship Award for alternate route teachers. I am a bilingual poet and translator, the author of seven...

...in those areas. I also enjoy tutoring for standardized tests. While I was studying for the SAT, ACT, and MCAT, all of my preparation was through self-study; as a result, I have a unique approach to preparing for tests that emphasizes knowing the test itself more than the actual material. In addition to tutoring natural sciences and standardized test prep, I tutor Spanish, which I studied for 7 years and spoke for a year while...

...with a Mathematics Minor. Thereafter, I was worked in neuroimaging at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia before attending Cornell for my Masters in Biomedical Engineering. I now live in NYC after helping to create a biomedical analytics company here and I planning to enter a PhD program next. My teaching experience spans 5 years of tutoring Mathematics in high school West Philadelphia as well as at Penn. I try to be as granular as possible...

True education is a leading forth from within, not a putting in from without. All things but none too much, being well-rounded is the key. Problems are to be explored, not simply solved. Success erases all failures.

...of basic applications is an essential part of every student's education. I strive to create a friendly and light-hearted working environment where students are comfortable asking questions because, from my experience, it is more conducive to learning. I tutor a host of Mathematical subjects but also specialize in helping students through the academic writing process. In my spare time I enjoy writing various forms of fiction and playing competitively for my college's Men's Basketball team.

...love helping students develop problem solving strategies, which is why mathematical subjects are my favorite to tutor. I believe that it is important to think like a problem solver, which means that students need to understand the "why" behind the equations rather than just memorizing them. When students struggle in math, it is often because they are trying to learn through rote memorization rather than by gaining a deep understanding of the topic. My goal...

...as possible. Since I have spent my professional life immersed in a field that demands practical results, I frame lessons with an eye toward real life applicationsa technique not found in dry academic surroundings. I have had extensive experience in both classroom and one-on-one teaching at many levels and I am able to present several viewpoints for a given topic, so that virtually any student will receive a clear and understandable vision of any subject.
