SAT - Math Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Brooklyn, NY

In tutoring any of the traditional subjects (Latin, Greek, formal/informal logic, rhetoric, critical thinking), I emphasize the objectives common to them all: (1) acquisition of context-specific vocabulary, (2) a feel for the flexibility and polysemy of a given word's lexical-semantic meaning, (3) a comprehension of the text's thematic, stylistic, and evaluative undertones and progression. The three, taken together, require us to formulate arguments by sifting through material, with an eye to analysis on how texts are crafted for presentation in terms of form and content. The result is an understanding on how these three are essential for reading, arguing, and, ultimately, thinking critically. Subjects Tutored: Besides the aforementioned subjects, I also tutor for calculus and chemistry. I earned my B.A. from Tulane University magna cum laude in classical languages and philosophy. I

Scored 800 I have informally tutored many throughout my time at Princeton University in many different fields within Chemistry. I've found when the subject is also a passion, teaching others to see the reasons for that passion makes learning fun and easy. Chemistry can be a challenging subject - my goal is to change that. Similarly, my goal is to make the SAT math section a breeze. I like to take students step-by-step through the process of finding answers to complicated questions. I am a strong believer in teaching the student to think for his or herself. If I'm asked a question, I prefer to help the student find the solution rather than simply give the answer. Through college, I learned that the best way to absorb information fast is to find patterns. This makes for easier recall and allows for the building of an information network on which the student can infinitely append.

I have tutored many of my classmates during and after school on subjects I did very well in. I also assisted teachers in their tutoring sessions before major exams. I studied for major state and national exams on my own as well so I know what materials and resources work best. I have been tutoring people for pretty much all my life and feel that I can do this job very well

I think it is most effective to identify areas of weakness and work on fixing the underlying issues there before looking at work from a broader perspective. I also think it's important to have a comfortable relationship with the tutee and gear the sessions towards their goals and weaknesses. I have tutored writing at Rutgers for the past three years. During my time as a writing tutor, I worked one-on-one with students on research and analytic papers. This entailed offering support with grammar and punctuation, organization and paper structure, and development of connections between assigned texts. I enjoyed my time as a tutor at Rutgers and always got along very well with the students I tutored.

Throughout my academic career I have always been part of the school tutoring service and young leader programs. I have always had a deep connection with learning and shines through with my style of teaching. Learning should not feel like a chore, but something to be enjoyed and cherished. I have also taught outside of the school as a swim instructor. I have worked with kids from 6 months to 15 years of age. My specialty at the time was working with children that have disabilities. I find the work to be very rewarding and allows me to do what I love while helping others.

I have over the past several years spent a lot of time in classroom training and from these I have learnt many valuable lessons about the the art of effective teaching. I am more of an audio visual learner and I learn better when I am taught a subject matter that gives me the foundation and forms the buiding block for more advanced learning and that is exactly going to be my style of teaching.

I have a math/science background (Bronx High School of Science graduate) and I have helped many students to acieve well on standardized tests. I have taught several SAT prep courses. I am patient and understanding. I know the tests very well and have learned many strategies to rasie your score! In my experience, the majority of students are highly motivated. This is, for me, the key to success. However, very often, students require assistance with a wide range of ‘remediation’ in many of life’s basic competencies: a skill set that includes such issues as time management, test taking, study habits, and, sometimes, acculturation. My teaching methodology follows these simple steps: Step 1: Motivation Step 2: Definition & Understanding of terms Step 3: Explanation, exploration, discussion, debate Step 4: Questions & Answers Step 5: Practice: Time & Effort Step 6: Demonstration

I base my teaching on the belief that the only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics. While the process of reading examples and proofs in textbooks and from lecture notes is valuable, the real learning comes through one's own efforts at solving mathematical problems, either computational, theoretical, or both. This is achieved mostly through class assignments, but also through in-class discussions and exercises. I view my role as a facilitator for this process. I must design the framework in which learning can take place, and then stimulate and nurture the students' development, giving help in terms of knowledge, techniques, and encouragement. 25 years of experience in teaching undergraduate courses in Calculus, Functional and Stochastic Analysis, Linear Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Topology, Differential Equations (including Partial Differential Equations), Operational Calcu
