LSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Patterson, NY

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.

I began mentoring students during my tenure at Regis High School, a private, full-scholarship-only high school in New York City at the age of 17. After attending Villanova University and Fordham University's Graduate School of Business Administration, I began tutoring part-time with Studypoint. I have tutored over 30 different students in nearly all academic areas, including SAT, ACT, ISEE, SSAT and Academic Programs for grades K-12. I am currently a law student at Pace Law School in White Plains, NY, and I would love to continue educating bright young minds. I would consider my teaching style to be very organic and adaptable.

As an attorney I have spent the better part of my career mentoring co-workers and educating clients. As a litigator, I have drafted countless legal documents including pleadings motions and appellate briefs. As a result I have gained substantial insight into the art of persuasive writing. My colleagues and clients continually tell me that I am the only lawyer who has been able to explain complicated issues in a manner that was easily understandable. I find that the Socratic method (individual discovery) works well with motivated interested clients. I am patient and have a laid back style that permits active participation in the process. While I have no formal teaching experience, my work as a mentor should enable me to to make a substantial difference in the lives of the children I who are seeking assistance in the art of written communication.

I believe that one of the challenges in teaching is motivating the students to be interested in learning. I believe that a good teacher who truly wants to instill life-long learning skills in his/her students challenges them by engaging and empowering them to become independent/critical thinkers/problem-solvers rather than making them dependent on him/her or on "route"/"regurgitative" learning. One must find the best approach to present the material and convey the essential elements of a lesson plan or rather “instructional session” in the classroom and the laboratory. I have experience teaching Chemistry, Biology and Earth Science. I am a native Italian and French speaker, having been born to Franco-Italian parents in Montreal, Quebec, the second largest French speaking city in the world. I have years of teaching experience at the college and high school levels. I am NY State Certifi
