Hi there! My goal with tutoring is help you create tools you can replicate when you're taking an exam, doing homework, or just without any guidance. My teaching style is patient, person-centered, and hands on learning. Can't wait to work with you!

I am currently completing my fourth year of the B.A. / M.A. Combined Program in English and the Teacher Preparation Program at Stony Brook University. With a strong background in literature, composition, and teaching methods, I believe that I am prepared for the dynamic and exciting challenges of tutoring students for their English classes. Through my coursework, I have designed lesson plans based on the Common Core State Standards. During my field experience in diverse Long Island school districts, I observed engaging lessons and had the privilege of observing the administration and grading of the English Regents Exam. As President and Co-Founder of the Stony Brook Book Club, I led weekly discussions and created a comfortable and intellectually stimulating environment. As a teaching assistant in the Massapequa Public Schools Summer Music Program, I taught students new skills and concepts while encouraging their continued growth. I believe that every student can find a book he enjoys and with the right practice, can express himself through writing. I love to read, bake, and scrapbook in my spare time.
I am a Mechanical Engineer. At the moment though, I have decided to change directions and pursue a career in medicine. As I go to school part time and prepare for my MCAT, I am tutoring physics, mathematics, biology, and chemistry, here at Varsity Tutors with my spare time.I graduated from New York Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and then obtained my Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Stony Brook University.I'm able to tutor physics, math, chemistry, and biology from grades 7-12 and the collegiate level. For those looking to get straight A's throughout the semester or ace the regents, let's start the year off on the right foot.My teaching methods are excellent, and unlike most tutors, I bring fun and excitement to the subject, because we all know how boring the physical and biological sciences can be at times. Using various analogies and examples, I find that I capture my students attention and bring the best out of them.Most importantly, I look forward to helping my students, allowing them to excel and achieve their goals. After being tutored by me, you will be believe me when I say, "The Sky Is The Limit."
As a recently certified Project Management Professional, I'm here to help you manage your study plan and build your confidence in passing the PMP Certification with flying colors. Let's aim for "Above Target" scores in People, Process, and Business Environment domains together!
I am a recent graduate from Stony Brook University and have received my Bachelors of Science degree in Biology. Over my undergraduate career I have tutored many different students ranging from grades 4-12 as well as several college classes. I have always loved being able to work with a student or colleague to find the right answer of a difficult question. I tutor math (Calculus, Geometry, Trigonometry, Algebra) as well as SAT math, English, and science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Biochemistry). I really enjoy tutoring math and English! Math always has an answer to work towards and can be taught using various mediums. English is also a favorite subject of mine as I love to read and write and love reading the works of others. I like to tutor subjects by working through problems with students and practicing problems. Outside of academics, I enjoy hiking and have almost finished half of the Appalachian trail. I also enjoy archery and shoot olympic recurve style.
Education has always been very important to me. Many subjects can be very difficult to learn and learning how to deal with the stress of that is something that I can understand. I believe in helping people not only in understanding the subject, but also learning study techniques, planning, organization and how to deal with stress. When you do not know a subject matter it becomes boring and you lose interest. When you know the subject matter it becomes interesting and fun. No one likes to watch Jeopardy when you do not know the answers. When you know the answers, you feel confident and are having fun.
Im a graduate of Stony Brook University. I have my Bachelor of Science in Business Management Operations and International Business. Versed in global business with exposure to international leadership experience, I have taught English to English Professors at Changsha University of Science and Engineering in China. I have written, developed, and executed curriculums ranging from topics like ESL to Social Entrepreneurship and of varying proficiency levels. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, literature, and business consultancy. Im here to help in any stage of the writing process from brainstorming to editing a final paper. Im available for personal statements, literature analysis, resume writing, and creative writing. Im also versed in business writing from business plans to marketing strategy and elevator pitches. I believe in efficient and effective foundational structure building in any type of learning process, especially with writing. I work with students to set attainable goals to manage stress, expectations, and apply critical knowledge of the material into transferable skills.Outside my studies, I have achieved my piano Certificate of Merit from the Music Teachers Association of California after ten plus years. Finally, partaking in my school's debating society has taught me how to organize my ideas in a coherent style. For personal enjoyment, I submit my work to literary publications such as The Antigonish Review, Uncanny Magazine, Feminine Inquiry, and the Poetry Foundation.
Hi, my name is Sunny Wong and I am a graduate student currently attending NYU 's Tandon School of Engineering. I have a background in chemistry, biology and mathematics.
I've been a university professor for the past five years and have been tutoring for as long as I can remember. I began tutoring informally while I was still in high school, helping friends get ready for their SATs, helping them with assignments. I realized quickly that I was suddenly helping half of my school so I decided to make some fliers, and some money, and offer my tutoring to anyone and everyone in my hometown. Suffice to say, some odd years have gone by since then and now, even as a full-time professor, I find myself enjoying the experience of tutoring and helping students on an individual level enough to continue doing it. With a background in the sciences and mathematics, and a graduate degree in philosophy I'm incredibly well-rounded in terms of what I'm capable of teaching and moreover, have a generally positive pedagogical approach to everything; I really do love teaching. Even fields in which I have little experience become a contest with myself to master solely for the sake of helping a student. I have extensive experience in reading, writing, and editing (I've been published several times over as both head author and editor) and its something that I truly love to do. I currently hold three Undergraduate degrees in Mathematics, Physics, and Linguistics, as well as two Graduate degrees in Philosophy and Theology. From basic English to advanced Banjo I look forward to engaging in any assignment that anyone may have for me!
I am a graduate of Hamilton College in upstate NY and recently received my Master's degree in Physiology & Biophysics from Stony Brook University. I am a pre-med student with a Bachelor's degree in Economics with minors in Chemistry and Biology. I will be starting medical school in the fall and have experience in the application process. I enjoy providing advice and feedback to individuals who are on a similar track.I am the oldest of 4 children, therefore I have a lot of experience with helping young students learn, as well as a lot of patience. Most recently, I worked as a STEM instructor at Launch Math and Science Centers in NYC on the Upper West Side. That experience made me realize how passionate I am about engaging students in the STEM field and education in general and how important it is to make learning a fun process. I love tutoring students in math, science, and economics because I have a strong background and foundation in these areas. I also wish that I had been introduced to the STEM and economics fields at a younger age, therefore my goal with tutoring is to inspire the students that I work with. I love tutoring in economics because I believe it provides essential concepts for any field that a student is eager to pursue. For example, I have found economics to be extremely applicable to the healthcare field, which is one of the main reasons that I chose to major in it.In addition, I lived abroad in Morocco for 10 years and had the opportunity to help students prepare for their AP exams and applications to universities in the United States. My long-term career goals include going to medical school and becoming an Ob/gyn. I hope to someday treat women in underserved regions of the world. In the meantime, I enjoy working in my research lab, cooking, traveling, and kickboxing.
Hello everyone! My name is Morgan Diep, and I am a recent graduate of Stony Brook University. I graduated cum laude with a Health Science B.S. and two minors: one in Writing and Rhetoric and one in Biology. During my undergraduate career, I served as Editor-in-Chief of a mental health organization and a Writing Center tutor. I specialize in assisting with personal statements, particularly those crafted for graduate programs in healthcare.
I graduated with my undergraduate degree in Biology, and have recently completed my MD degree as well. I have tutored many students in the basic sciences such as Chemistry,Organic chemistry, Biology,Pharmacology, and Physiology. I have also tutored Medical Students for their 3 part boards Step 1,2 and 3. I have also worked extensively with Bilingual students (primarily Spanish speaking) with all forms of their Homework assignments. Spanish is my second language at home. I am entirely fluent in conversational Spanish and have a college level proficiency in reading and writing. I work with each of my students and help them attain their academic goals by treating them as individuals with individual needs. I always help each student create a study schedule for their individual classes. I have learned as a student myself, and by working with other students, that no one lacks the intelligence to attain their goals, rather planning and making realistic schedules and goals is the primary step in working towards academic success. I am very hands on and review homework, go over questions on assignments, review and help make notes. I am also very easily reached by all of my students via phone and email. I look forward to helping every one of my students individually, and have usually seen anywhere between a 10-20 point increase and higher in my students. I have learned that with the right mentality and help anyone can succeed towards their educational needs. I look forward to working with you.
I'm a 4th year college student at Stony Brook University working towards a bachelor's degree in biochemistry and a minor in writing and rhetoric. I love helping other students enjoy what they are learning by providing support as a tutor! Students who struggle in their academics often just need a role model who can focus on their individual learning style and encourage them to utilize it -- which is who I try to be each day. My goal for my students is for them to see past the challenges and enjoy the process of learning. I have over 2 years' experience tutoring kids in grades K-12 in math, science, English, and test prep, as well as helping fellow college students in biology, math, and chemistry. Examples of my expertise include teaching a class at an SAT prep center, private tutoring for K-12 both in-person and online, serving as head teaching assistant for college-level biology, and working as a chemistry peer tutor for other students at my university. I use a wide range of virtual games, arts and crafts, physical activity, virtual simulations, and real-world problems to make tutoring sessions engaging and appropriate to age level. As someone who wants to pursue research and teaching as a career, I believe quality, accessible education can have a huge positive impact on people's wellbeing and development.
I have been tutoring for years in a variety of subjects, but my true passion is the structure, mechanics, and analysis of language - both English and Spanish. I graduated as Valedictorian from Stony Brook University with my B.A. in Spanish Language & Literature. I have been studying Spanish since the 6th grade and have spent extensive periods of time abroad, which range from taking linguistics classes in Madrid to doing farm work in rural Mexico. I love to learn and teach others. While finding the right answer is important, I also want my students to develop critical thinking skills that can be transferred to many realms of life. "Bring a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
I am a well-rounded individual that is able to communicate fantastically with kids. I never let myself get frustrated with pupils, which is a strength of mine as I can explain the same concept in a variety of ways until I feel comprehension has finally been reached. My ultimate goal is not to simply make sure a child knows a formula, but more importantly the concept behind that formula, and under what circumstances it needs to be applied. With my help, I can make sure pupils learn not only the what and when of a concept, but also the why and how. In my eyes, very few things are as fulfilling as teaching and making friends in the process.
I have worked hard in the subjects that I excel in to get where I currently am. I am an undergraduate student at Stony Brook University majoring in Mathematics, so you could say that Math and me really click. I have worked with others, trying to better help them obtain a better understanding of math and they have shown bright results.My hobbies include some outdoor activities like going row boating or hanging with friends. I sometimes spend time working on my Youtube channel.
I am a senior at Stony Brook University majoring in Applied Mathematics and Statistics along with a Pre-Med Track. I have tutored people in the range of 13-23 years old. I have tutored Calculus for my school's learning center. I love working with people, as I believe it is a learning for me as well. I try to approach things from different angles in order to see what works best for students.
Hello! I've always believed that learning should feel supportive, inspiring, and even fun. When I was growing up, I didn't always have the guidance I needed at home, and I often wished for a teacher who could really understand me. That's why I'm so passionate about tutoringI want to be that relatable, encouraging teacher for my students, the one who helps them feel seen and capable. I've been lucky to work with students of all ages and backgrounds: adults learning English as a new language, high school students in Ecuador, and elementary and middle school students here in the U.S. I tutor English Language Arts, English as a New/Second Language, and Spanishwith a special love for ENL and Spanish, because I enjoy showing students how language works like a puzzle and watching them light up when it finally clicks. I earned my B.A. in Linguistics from Stony Brook University and my M.A. in Literacy from Touro College, and I've recently completed a program in School District Administration. But more than my degrees, what I bring to tutoring is my belief that every student learns in their own unique way. My style is personal, flexible, and creativeI take time to really get to know you, figure out what's standing in your way, and come up with fun and effective strategies to help you grow. Outside of teaching, I love Latin dance (I even perform and compete in salsa!), and I also have a nerdy side that enjoys video games, puzzles, and Legos. Traveling and trying new things are big parts of my life too. All of these interests remind me that learning doesn't just happen in classroomsit happens everywhere when you're curious and open. If you're looking for a tutor who will meet you where you are, cheer you on, and help you reach your goals in a way that feels comfortable and motivating, I'd be honored to work with you.
I first started tutoring others while in high school. I casually tutored some of my friends and peers who needed help in mutual classes, such as AP Calculus, AP Stats, and AP Physics. I became more involved with formal tutoring as a member of National Honor Society. I was active in tutoring both peers in my own age group, as well as those younger than me in subjects like Calculus and Physics. After I went to college, I went back to informally tutoring some of my friends in classes that we were taking together or that I had already taken. Some of these classes included general chemistry and some organic chemistry, as well as calculus and statics and dynamics in biological systems. At my university, I am getting back into formal tutoring by becoming a teaching assistant for a biology lab/lecture that I took in the past and did well in. I have always enjoyed trying to help others understand subjects that are more difficult to grasp. I believe I have a good understanding of effective teaching methods. I believe that the best ways to learn material are through practicing problems, through making sure each component of a problem is understood, and through methods such as mnemonic devices.I am currently an undergrad at Stony Brook University. I am a Biomedical Engineering major on a cellular and molecular track. When I am not in school and have free time, I enjoy fishing, playing and watching hockey, and catching up and spending time with friends.
As someone who was once tutored herself, I am thrilled at the opportunity to work on this tutoring platform. I firmly believe that education is the key to unlocking endless opportunities, and my dedication to helping students stems from my genuine desire to make a positive impact on their lives. My favorite subjects to tutor are STEM and language based topics, and my love for these subjects is deeply rooted in their ability to foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. I find great satisfaction in guiding students through the intricacies of these subjects, helping them build a strong foundation and confidence in their abilities. I believe that a deep understanding of these subjects leads to academic success and empowers students to approach challenges with a resilient and analytical mindset. I firmly believe in creating a supportive and interactive learning environment where students feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and asking questions. I strive to tailor my teaching approach to the individual needs and learning styles of my students, ensuring that each session is engaging and productive. I encourage active participation, fostering a collaborative atmosphere where students are motivated to explore, inquire, and learn.
After working as a high school English teacher in New York for ten years, I came to Austin to pursue a PhD in Curriculum and Instruction at UT.Working with students on an individual basis is a wonderful opportunity for me to craft a personalized approach to subject matter and techniques. I especially enjoy working with students on their writing, whether personal essays or application statements that they have time to edit and revise, or on-demand writing tasks that appear on tests like the SAT or the AP Exam.
I am an adjunct professor and freelance writer with a PhD in history. I write and teach a lot about women's studies, cultural history, and transnational studies with a particular emphasis on the Modern Middle East and US-Turk relations. As for teaching and outreach: Ive found that making the material pertinent and connecting it to who you are and where you want to be will make it come alive. Hence, in tutoring and teaching I enjoy teasing out the material into a story. That way we have something to entertain us as we build a timeline and craft a memory of the past, of peoples, and of communities.I'm also the author of numerous books, the most recent being Comics as History, Comics as Literature and book chapters, reference entries, book reviews, and journal articles. My busy publication career deals extensively on nationalism, womens rights, women's liberation, Turkish-US relations, transnational feminism, and travel literature. Most recently I completed two smaller pieces: Failing New Women: Anne Shirleys Legacy, The New Woman, and World War I and Importing the Ethnic: Voyeurism on Your Dinner Plate (concerning the permeation of American Chinese food). Both are due out in the ensuing year, and both were absolute fun to write. In teaching and writing I like to focus on how to engage and make the story come to life.I also publish travel literature and some fiction outside of academia and serve as co-chair of the European Association of American Studies Women's Steering Committee.This past summer I crafted travel writing while spelunking in the Iowas Women's Archives and the Oregon State University Archives, as my co-writer and I have been crafting a discursive examination of food safety, activism, and grassroots women's voices. This project Safety For Our Souls has received funding from several libraries. That being said . . . the fuel that makes this endless hard work worthwhile is engaging students and building skills in creative ways that make the mundane really feel less like work and more like an excursion into something entertaining.
I am a recent graduate from Stony Brook University with a double Bachelors of Science in Biology and Anthropology. While attending Stony Brook University I specialized in ecology and biological anthropology and was an undergraduate researcher in a population genetics lab. My future goal is to obtain my PhD in human evolutionary biology (particularly population genetics). This coming fall, I will be starting a position as a laboratory assistant at the University of Michigan. My primary teaching experience has been through my undergraduate career, as I was a teacher’s assistant for an upper division biology course. Beyond my teaching assistant role, I was a resident assistant for 2 years. In this position, I guided and mentored many of my peers, be it academically or personally. My specific academic strengths are ecology, evolution, genetics, biological anthropology and archaeology. My interests in these topics were heightened when I had the opportunity to participate in a study abroad program in Kenya. I was able to extensively study and explore the ecological, archaeological and geological uniqueness of the Turkana region of Kenya. On my down time I love spending time outdoors exploring nature and the beautiful world we have. My general approach when tutoring students is to first, determine the student’s strengths and weaknesses and then utilize these strengths and weaknesses to determine the appropriate studying and learning plan. I am passionate and eager to start sharing my knowledge and experiences with my students!
Hello, my name is Andrew. I am a currently a Business Management student in New York. I honed my tutoring skills starting from when I was a class tutor for my AP Biology class at my high school where I helped many of my peers attain 4s and 5s on the AP Bio exam. I have pride on being able to balance a busy extracurricular lifestyle as well as a rigorous academic schedule because I know how much value Universities put on a "well-rounded" student. I look forward to hearing more about you!
I'm all about problem solving; whether designing drugs, computer applications, or basic chemistry and math problems it all starts with the same steps:A) What do I know?B) What do I want to know?C) How do I get from A to B?I did PhD research in computational chemistry and dream of becoming a middle school math teacher if I win the lottery.PS - My online sessions will frequently be monitored by my chihuahua, Piper. She's quiet, but expect a pop-by :)
I am a PhD candidate in English literature dedicated to teaching writing, reading comprehension, and literary analysis.
I am a recent graduate of Stony Brook University (SUNY) from where I received my Bachelor of Sciences in Applied Mathematics & Statistics with a concentration in Physical Sciences. Throughout my undergraduate career, I was fortunate enough to participate in several research-oriented internships in New York and Maryland. These allowed me to gain invaluable experience and apply my knowledge to real-life applications. In addition, I have experience tutoring fellow classmates in courses such as physics, probability/statistics, and linear algebra; however, my favorite subject to teach is calculus and I've found it to be the most challenging to learn. My philosophy of teaching heavily focuses on practice problems and examples while maintaining a personable, stress-free environment. Outside of the classroom you can find me playing or watching sports, meeting with friends, and listening to music.

Outside of math, I have a business where my co-founder and I make grade school and college visits to give presentations on financial literacy. Teaching people how to manage and invest their money is also an extreme passion of mine!I am open to having a free consultation meeting if you desire one. Remember, I can be contacted at any time of the day. I usually respond very quickly. I am easy to talk to, so please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions. I have been told I am very easy to work with! Hope to hear from you soon!
I have been tutoring since 2011 when I retired from developmental optometry, a specialty in which I saw the same children and adults on a weekly basis, using many of the same concepts that are used in tutoring. I have always enjoyed math which is necessary to understand optics and optometry and now I am pleased to watch my students' "aha" moments when they discover the joy of math. The National Tutoring Association has certified me as a tutor and an academic coach.
As a devotee of educational importance, I cannot be more determined and excited to see new faces and spread the knowledge that has been bestowed upon me. I am a Syosset High School graduate, a part of the Stony Brook University Class of 2020, and a future part of the Stony Brook Medicine Class of 2024. As a member of the Honors College and the Scholars for Medicine program, I am working towards a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Chemistry in my undergraduate studies and will be working towards a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree in my graduate studies at Stony Brook Hospital.Ever since junior year of high school, I've been exposed to a plethora of tutoring opportunities that have helped me perfect my skills in the field. I've worked as a volunteer tutor, an employee for the Kumon Learning Center, and as a private tutor. I've allocated 650 hours of tutoring experience towards the academic progression of elementary, middle, and high school students alike, and I can't wait to tutor you next!Over the span of my tutoring experience, I've taught subjects ranging from middle and high school mathematics and sciences to SAT/ACT/AP examination prep, with a strong focus in the latter. My favorite subjects to tutor are those covered by standardized exams because, as a student who formerly performed poorly on these exams, I've experienced not only the struggle from scoring inadequately but also the joy and relief from improving significantly and overcoming the odds. This is why my mission is to ensure each and every one of my students experiences the same jaw-dropping improvement that I experienced.
I am a recent medical school graduate from Dow University. Using proven techniques to memorize and understand key concepts, I teach my students how to break down the most difficult questions. It can be an overwhelming task to memorize the massive amount of information expected of a student in an anatomy or physiology course. The key is not memorization, but pacing yourself, practice and placing key concepts at the beginning and end of each session. Having a basic understanding of how our brain memorizes and processes information is an essential prerequisite for all students. I have over 5 years of tutoring experience from medical school in subjects including Anatomy, Physiology, Pharmacology, Microbiology and many other health sciences courses.
I am a patient person that will listen to you, both your words and actions, to see how I can best make a difference to your academic and life goals. I will then work with you, back and forth, to make you stronger in the subject that I will tutor you in. I have a lot of education, as well as 25+ years of professional experience in banking where I have to use my analytical skills and knowledge. I also have 25+ years of teaching as a part-time faculty member in Economics, Statistics, Math and Management classes. As education, I have an MA (Economics), an M.Phil (Economics), and an MBA degree. I know that the world has become information intensive and knowledge-oriented. The way to succeed in today's world is through knowledge and brain work, less through physical work. I will help you succeed in any way I can through tutoring you.
I received my Master's Degree in Chemistry from University College London and Harvard University. I am currently pursuing studies towards a Ph.D. degree in Chemistry at Stony Brook University. I have experience teaching undergraduate and graduate level classes including General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Organometallic Chemistry, as well as laboratory courses. I have also tutored Chemistry and Mathematics since high school.
As a slow learner and an ex high school struggling student, I would have never imagined I would now be pursuing a bachelor's degree in civil engineering at Stony Brook University. Therefore, I want to share my story with all types of students and motivate them to become wherever it is that they aspire to be. As a high school alumnus, current college student and tutor, I emphasize certain techniques to better understand a new foreign concept, I am a firm believer of visual representations, repeated audios, and concept application skills to convert student's weaknesses into their strengths. I love to be part of my students' school journey and tutor them in Spanish, algebra, geometry, calculus, physics, and chemistry. However, my favorite subjects to tutor are mechanics of solid, statics, and dynamics because I find them to be very interesting.When I am not at the library studying, you can always find me watching comedy movies and eating strawberry mochi ice cream.
I received my Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering degree at SUNY Stony Brook. I received my Master of Arts in Teaching with a Concentration in Mathematics degree at Quinnipiac University. I taught high school mathematics for 9 years. I tutor Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. My favorite subject to teach is Geometry, because once I was afraid of Geometry, and now I love it. I want to show my students how not to be afraid! My tutoring style involves lots of questions. I love asking questions to pull prior knowledge out of students, to teach them to utilize the "tools in their toolbox" to solve the problem. They have the knowledge; it is my job to bring them that confidence to pick the right tools to do the job. I love being active! I love to walk, hike, and roller blade. I also like to do strength training. I am a huge football fan. I am a Patriots fan, but I like to watch any team and to see a good game. I enjoy inviting friends and family over on a Sunday to watch football.
I'm about to enter my final year at Stony Brook University as a student of Physics and Education. I'm laid back, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to get those I tutor to learn a concept. I've tutored many students in various kinds of math, ranging from elementary math to college Calculus. I've also had plenty of practice in helping peers with Physics.I will always do my best to help you learn, and I'll do so in a way that is not stressful and can even be very fun for the both of us!I have a very flexible schedule. Don't hesitate to ask for times that work best for you!
Teaching is a mutual journey that is entirely decided by the student and led by the teacher. I take full joy in walking alongside the educational journey in helping students to understand and develop into successful mastery and critical thinkers of information. As your tutor, I would be your source of empowerment, guide and coach. Most importantly, I approach tutoring and learning with the firm belief that all students have amazing strengths and talents that can be used to thrive.

I am a graduate of Stony Brook University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a focus on the sciences as I followed a pre-dental course track. Since graduation, I have applied to and been accepted to the Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine, which I will be attending starting in August. I had previously been an SAT tutor with a test prep company for two years and I have experience in tutoring college level Physics at my University. As a result of my work experience and college education, I am proficient in all the SAT sections, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, general Essay Writing, Biochemistry, and Psychology. I personally enjoy tutoring SAT Critical Reading and Physics the most. To me, language is beautiful and I love exploring and discussing the mechanics of analyzing literature (as students must do on the Critical Reading Section). Physics, on the other hand, explains many of the wondrous everyday phenomenon around us. As a child, I would often think about why things moved the way they did and physics gave me those answers. I enjoy traveling and have been to several US states, Egypt several times, Australia, Italy, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Some of my most memorable experiences include scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef and sky diving. I speak Arabic semi-fluently and I enjoy reading and training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing. Overall, I am very approachable and patient and will do my best to serve you as a tutor!

Stony Brook University alumni tutors excel across the university's strongest programs, including STEM fields like physics, chemistry, mathematics, and engineering, as well as life sciences and computer science.

Your first session is designed to establish rapport and assess your current understanding.

This foundation allows them to create a personalized learning plan that aligns with your needs and leverages their knowledge of Stony Brook's academic environment.
