Queens Village Test Scores

Standardized tests are something all American students face throughout their school years. For students in Queens, this includes those from the NYSTP (New York State Testing Program), which assess students in English language arts and math each year from grades 3-8 and in science in grades 4 and 8. Additionally, they administer the Regents, which are subject-based exams high school students must pass to graduate, in such subjects as algebra and geometry, English, history, and the sciences, among others. Queens tutors can also help students prepare for the ACT, SAT, SSAT, LSAT, and other admissions and placement tests for private school, college, or graduate school. Working with a tutor, students can brush up on content and learn critical test-taking strategies.

Students can get assistance from a tutor in Queens for anything from elementary math to advanced calculus in college, from middle school history research papers to high school speech and debate. A private tutor can be an effective supplement to classroom learning because they can focus in on the individual attributes that help your child learn most effectively. In addition, a tutor can work with your student at their own pace to come to a better understanding of a subject.

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

"The student and I went through practice problems involving finding the inverse of an equation. He grasped the concepts very quickly. We went over online science questions for the ACT. He is a quick learner, and I think he will make a lot of progress through our sessions."

"When I met with the student tonight, we agreed to work on his religion homework that is due later this week. Of the seven listed, he only needed to do three of them due to his absences. He completed the religion journal entries within the first 45 minutes, and, since the drop box did not yet exist for the assignment, he saved it to his computer. We then discussed his current classwork and assignments and worked on geometry until the end of the session."

"We went over the different verb tenses, from the irregular present tense, preterit, imperfect, subjunctive, and conditional. We talked about different tricks to remembering the endings and common questions that come up on Spanish entrance exams. "

"The student and I went through some math problems. Then she worked through an entire reading test, while I timed her. I prompted her to mark the passages while she read and to mark questions she was unsure of, even after she answered them. When she finished and had seven minutes left, I prompted her to go back and look over the passage she said was the hardest."

"Today was my first session with the student since December. She expressed that she is performing much better in her chemistry class this semester, but she would like to continue tutoring to further improve her grades. We discussed the Lewis dot structure, calculating molar mass, bonding principles, and balancing equations."

"The student and I worked on her reading comprehension. We took turns reading passages and she answered the questions. She answered the questions correctly and based her answers on what she read. We also worked on editing paragraphs. She didn't catch all the mistakes on the first round, but she was able to identify them by the second time."

"In the first hour, the student did two timed sections from a practice admissions test. I timed him and noted also how he used his time so that I could offer pointers for utilizing his time better, especially in the reading section. In the second hour, we went over the tests for content, strategies and reasoning to evaluate what he did well and where he could improve in his test-taking approach. "

"We are working on logarithms and exponential functions. This session was spent reviewing a homework assignment in which the student practiced solving functions with logs or exponents. We talked about techniques for solving these types of problems."

"The student and I went over a few multiplication facts, which he still needs to practice for memory. We had an extremely productive time reviewing the "box" method he was learning for long multiplication problems in school and discussing how and why it works. With a little demonstration and engagement, I was able to convince him to rely on stack multiplication, which he greatly prefers now, although he was scared of it before. "

"Excellent final session. We reviewed vocabulary, scenarios such as a typical day in Paris, meeting friends, introductions, salutation, going to breakfast, lunch, dinner, what to order, how to get the check, traveling, the transportation system, safety, and general conversation. The family is well prepared for their one month stay in Paris. Excellent session and excellent participation by all."

"We spent the first hour assessing the level of problems and materials used in the course itself. Afterwards, we began working on problems on the work sheet so I could observe her problem solving approach. I suspect she needs access to sample problems with sample solutions. I'll be creating some online tools to help her access problems at a similar level to those assigned in her course along with worked solutions with explanations. (These will not be the identical problems assigned, but similar in structure and coverage of concepts.)"
