A Little Bit About Me...

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 philosop ... read more

GRE is one of my top subjects!

I am very patient and I make sure the student thoroughly understands a topic before moving on. I motivate the student to succeed and teach good study skills and test taking skills. Normally, I use the student's textbooks and classroom materials during our lessons. For standardized tests, I use prep books, such as Princeton Review. Students do best when they are encouraged and receive positive feedback. My students are extremely satisfied after our lessons, and I receive wonderful feedback from children and adults I tutor.
For the past 10 years I have been tutoring, working with students and helping them in various subjects. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Binghamton University, SUNY in 2005. My GPA was 3.8, and I was on Dean's list every semesterOne of the subjects I tutor is college statistics and a student of mine went from an F to a B.

More About This Tutor...

I am a young Wall Street retiree with degrees in Mathematics, Computer Science and Finance. I have tutored students in Mathematics since my days on the Math Team at Stuyvesant High School. I was a high school math teacher for a brief time; more recently, I taught Probability and Statistics at Stony Brook University, where I was awarded the President’s Award for Excellence in Teaching.
The motto of the Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society is "Love of learning is the guide of life". I live my own life by this ideal, and I try my best to instill a love of learning in my students. Too many students believe, indeed have been taught, that math is just a series of formulas and recipes to be learned and memorized. Understanding concepts doesn’t seem to be necessary or even desirable. No wonder students “hate” math! I believe that understanding important concepts is essential to learning math ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I find that students learn best when they are enjoying themselves, and so, I strive to make every student feel comfortable with my easy-going attitude and ready smile. I am patient, and a firm believer that the only "stupid" questions are the ones that are not asked. I have high expectations for my students because I know that they all have the potential and inherent ability to succeed, but that everyone needs a little extra help every now and then. For me, teaching is not simply a job, but a joy, and I look forward to going to work every day.
I am a NYS Certified Elementary School Teacher, currently working as a Staff Developer for Eastern Suffolk BOCES, training administrators and teachers to make data-driven instructional decisions, especially as these data relate to student performance on the NYS Assessments.

I hold a master's degree in language education and certification as a public school teacher in two states, New York and New Jersey. In the last three years I have taught and tutored German, English, English as a Second Language, and standardized test preparation (including SAT, ACT, GRE, and TOEFL) in a variety of settings, including a public high school, a private Saturday school for heritage speakers of German, a small music college/tutoring center, and at the large state university SUNY Stony Brook. I have successfully helped students from ages nine to adult achieve their goals in whole-class, small-group, and one-on-one tutoring settings.
As far as possible, I adapt my teaching style to my students' needs. When I was teaching beginner-level German to an adult opera singer, I focused on helping her develop her conversational skills and pronunciation, using English to explain ... read more

All students learn in different ways, and one on one tutoring allows the teacher to address a student’s learning style in a way that is not easily done in the classroom. For instance, a student who is more historically inclined may benefit from a brief math history lesson related to the day’s topic. Or, a student who is strong in logical reasoning could benefit from seeing some simplified proofs. How I present material depends on how a student most comfortably processes it. I do, however, emphasize the practicing of problems. We learn math by doing math.
Teaching is my passion. I have served many hours as a tutor at my undergraduate institution and am currently enrolled in Queens College’s post baccalaureate initial certification program. I want to make teaching my profession and I hope to one day inspire and encourage students in a subject that often causes great discouragement, m ... read more

I like to work with students with two SAT books like the Princeton Review and Barrons. While the student is answering from one, I go over his or her answers from the other. I will interrupt him or her with why he or she missed answers. "Beware of negative connotations or absolutes." "The author is perfect or near perfect, looking down from his or her ivory tower. Just about anything that shows imperfection in the author is probably wrong".
I have experience tutoring English and History, especially for standardized tests. I had a hand in helping get two young ladies into Phillips Exeter Academy, hav ing tutored them for the SSAT and prepping them for interviews.ther of my last year's SSAT students received a $41,000 scholarship to another prestigeous boarding school.

Earning a BS in Materials Science and Engineering involves knowledge of math, physics, and chemistry. Grammatical and writing skills have been strengthened over the years by writing for the college newspaper, laboratory reports and an extensive amount of research papers due to interests in public policy. Engineers usually cannot write; I can. I tutored extensively in high school, it was my primary income stream, while college revolved more around study groups where whoever knew the most took the lead. It was a revolving position but I often held it.
I feel that understanding the 'why' leads people to more easily grasp larger concepts and makes mistakes easier to recognize. After that practice is absolutely necessary: repetition IS the mother of learning. For children all this has to be presented in an accessible way. I try to contextualize problems in math and science in order to m ... read more

I enjoy helping Middle and High School students. I like to have the student achieve early successes, and build upon these experiences. As the saying goes, nothing succeeds like success. I firmly believe that all students can achieve proficiency in math, and that it is my role to unlock the student’s potential.
