...degree in civil engineering. I have over five years of professional tutoring experience in standardized tests, mathematics of all levels, physics, and more. I strive to make learning fun, comprehensive, and engaging. My method is to ensure that students understand the fundamentals and gradually progress to more challenging problems to provide students with a complete...

...I didn't always like math and science. It can take a lot of effort to "click" with these kinds of subjects, but once you do, it's a surprisingly rewarding experience. (Yes, I am a huge nerd now. See photo.) You just need to break down the problems, recognize patterns, and apply the concepts. So if...

...job requires me to interact daily with non-engineers and to constantly recall my schooling. Consequently, I love to explain facts in an understandable and interesting way. Many people have told me that I am a natural teacher because I am a natural learner. My profession and education as an engineer challenges me to learn new...

...and education. Previously, I was an adjunct professor and biomedical engineering research scientist at the NYU Medical Center. For the last 12 years, I have taught Physics and Chemistry in New Jersey public high schools. As your coach, I can help you achieve your personal goals whether it is to get a high score on...

I am an excellent tutor with a wide range of expertise. I am persistent, patient and inquisitive. I have been a teacher for more than fifteen years and I am sure if we work together, we can find a way to improve your academic performance.

...Cooper Union Civil Engineering major. I have taken Calculus 1 and Calculus 2. I have a strong foundation of Calculus since I joined an intensive Calculus program in City College in my junior year in high school and got a 5 in AP calculus AB in my senior year. The math course in Cooper Union...

...as a private tutor for high school students. The subject that I mainly tutor is math, such as Algebra, Trigonometry, and Calculus. I believe that an effective way of tutoring is to constantly have the student practice and be exposed to the particular subject while aiding them along the way. This way, they can become...

...my many experiences teaching and tutoring children and students younger than me, I have found that many of them still try to achieve instant gratification through their studies, although that is simply not possible.

I believe that communication and flexibility are key to successful teaching.

Succeed through practice and learning the best methodology for that specific student.

...tutor. I place strong emphasis on a good balance between knowledge of mathematical content and proficiency in problem-solving, reasoning, and conveying mathematical ideas in writing. There are times when a student needs to be informed of a solution, times when he or she also needs to hear the explanation of why the solution works, and...

I'm a Mechanical Engineer working in the automotive industry. Throughout my high school and college career, I've been tutoring math and physics. I always strive to help my students become the best versions of themselves.

...Science and Art in New York City. I was one of the few women enrolled in engineering in the 1960s. I majored in Civil Engineering. I worked for the NYPD for a while after Cooper, but soon found an application for my Cooper education in the space program. I worked for NASA at the Jet...

A tutor passionate about math and understanding the material with depth. My goal is to make sure you have a thorough and deep understanding of what you are learning.

...that tries to diagnose and treat issues as quickly as possible by having the student talk through their thought processes while they work. I don't think it's particularly helpful to handhold students through the problems without letting them first take a crack at them by themselves. Looking forward to working with any potential tutees!
