First, the underlying equations (or axioms, or vocabulary, or processes) must be understood, preferably on an instinctual level, as it is easier to remember ideas when they make sense at a core level. Then these ideas are applied to the problem, in order to unlock the solution. Generally, when students are having trouble with a problem (or type of problem) there is a non-sequitur somewhere in...

Long Island Tutoring FAQ
How much does Varsity Tutors cost for students in Long Island?
How much you can expect to spend to work with a tutor for students in Long Island is dependent on several variables. Two key components include the number of sessions needed and the complexity of the required instruction.
For example, the parent of a Serrick's high school junior who needs ACT test prep on the math, writing, and science sections for a couple of months might be quoted a lower price per session because of the number of sessions than a college student who wants only a lesson or two with an expert before final exams in a complex class like Calculus. It all depends. Our Educational Directors can offer more clarity.
Which tutoring subjects does Varsity Tutors offer for students in Long Island?
Tutoring for students in Long Island can cover a wide range of subject matter for students of all levels, whether you're in academia, a professional on the move, or a hobbyist. They can do more than help you prepare for the GMAT.
Whether you're gearing up to take a professional exam like the CPA or looking to add some music to your life by learning the violin, the subject matter covered is extensive. You can be confident you'll learn from the best, too. Varsity Tutors does extensive vetting of all tutors to ensure they are seasoned in instruction and have the appropriate levels of expertise and skill.
Why choose Varsity Tutors for tutoring in Long Island?
When you work with a tutor for students in Long Island, you get customized learning. Sessions are always 1-on-1, which means the pace of learning can be adapted to your needs.
For example, if the plan had been for you to move on from stereochemistry topics in your organic chemistry curriculum but you're still having a hard time, your tutor can shift the schedule to make sure you get the clarity you need. These tutors can also help with specific homework assignments. Should the explanation of something like quadratic equations provided by your teacher be less than clear, they can work through problems with you, answering questions and correcting mistakes along the way.
