Award-Winning Writing Tutors serving Long Island, NY

...of Harvard University, I've been tutoring for about five years now. I come from a public high school of 240 students in middle-of-nowhere rural Connecticut. Plain and simple: I wouldn't have made it to Harvard without finding a way to enjoy studying for the SATs and other tests. My goal is to share that enthusiasm with my students. The test might be frustrating, and it might seem pointless, but I insist that every hour spent...

...with students to identify where they were struggling and remediating those areas (one example: I learned a student didn't actually understand how negative numbers operated and so they were constantly tripping up in arithmetic). We achieved about a 90% pass rate in the course and a few students were able to graduate after passing since the math regents were holding them up. I believe in teaching students the skills they need to work independently. My...

I have been teaching students for the past ten years. I love watching a student grow and achieve their goals! I have worked as a teacher and school administrator, but my real passion lies in working with students one-on-one. I graduated with a degree in Journalism and History from NYU, and love working with students on math, reading, and writing.

...history I try to help students understand the "historical method" as easily as possible through exposure to historical sources and understanding of their uses--I also frequently approach history from a so-called "bottom-up" or microhistorical approach, which I've found in teaching Roman Republican history can be very useful for students in understanding how a society functioned, which is crucial for their understanding of causality of events. These methods of approaching teaching in these particular subjects served...

...excitement and a lack of complacency. I always want to be somewhere or do something that I have not yet achieved. I believe it is this drive that allows me to pursue my passions, both academically and socially, and to be successful in both. I find that my greatest happiness comes in the form of little victories such as a good grade on an exam, or making a friend laugh! Its because of this that...

...of learning from myriad tutors and learning centers firsthand, I feel that I have picked up several useful studying and test-taking techniques that may help all different types of students. I think it is important to find the easiest and the most efficient and enjoyable techniques for each particular student, as every individual learns better in different ways. As a college student now, I still use many of these studying strategies and have been exposed...

...for regents and AP exams. I was an AP scholar with distinction, and received the NYS Board of Regents Scholarship for Academic Excellence. I also worked for a local test prep company, where I tutored the ACT, SAT, AP and regents subjects. I scored in the 95th percentile on my MCAT and love tutoring for the test. I feel that I can relate to students and help them prep in a way that best fits...

...tutoring as a member of my high school's National Honor Society. The top students were encouraged to impart their knowledge through mandatory tutoring sessions. I found that I enjoyed helping others understand subject material and concepts. I felt like I was serving a greater purpose. Outside of tutoring I enjoy soccer, basketball, and ultimate frisbee. I am a big fan of the New York Yankees and New York Knicks. I am a sophomore at Cornell...

...of Northwestern Law, where I served on the board of the Journal of International Human Rights. Prior to law school, I taught courses and provided one-on-one tutoring on the SAT, ACT and GRE. More recently, I have focused on helping students master the LSAT. I particularly enjoy providing individualized instruction. We each have strengths and weaknesses when it comes to learning and test-taking, and I've found that remarkable advancements happen when an approach is tailored...

...students to turn around their class performance. I also enjoy helping students prepare for standardized test, whether that be the SAT or the LSAT. Especially with regard to the SAT Math, I love helping students understand the various curveballs that CollegeBoard often throws, and assisting them in achieving better scores than they thought possible. I am also passionate about Texas Rangers baseball, and fill an inordinate amount of my free time with fantasy sports and...

...way possible. As an undergraduate college student, I am also happy to help high school students develop their personal statements and offer advice about the college application process. As an immigrant from South Korea, I received a lot of tutoring and extra classes to get my English skills up to the level of my peers. As such, I am a strong believer in passing on not only what I have learned, but also the dedication...

...of experience working in formal education including day-to-day substituting in Brookline and long-term class coverage in Boston, as well as experience in private, non-essential education (teaching with Education First in Quito, Ecuador). While I very much enjoy classroom teaching, the one-to-one or small-group teaching I did with Education First is something that I found to be most rewarding. Really being able to form close relationships with a small number of students and helping them grow...

...given confidence to continue to learn in that subject. The most exciting thing for me as an educator is to help students find excitement in what they are learning - a "cool" factor. Showing students how cool (even fun!) learning certain subjects can be because of how it relates to them is an irreplaceable tool to get them interested in actually learning something, instead of simply "getting by" by cramming the night before. I do...

...finding new artists and I play the drums myself. My teaching philosophy is heavily influenced by my engineering education. I rely on a Socratic, discussion-based method where I encourage my students to not only work through problems but to explain them back to me, to help build confidence in their own understanding of the material while cementing concepts in their minds. I also heavily emphasize developing intuition as opposed to rote memorization. If a student...

I love to teach, mostly because of the impact of great teachers throughout my academic career. I think learning can be really fun, if teachers think outside the box and really challenge themselves to find novel ways of conveying concepts to students. Tried and true methods are always great in the classroom,...
