Award-Winning AP Physics 1 Tutors serving New York City, NY

...use this attribute to work with my students to reach their goals. Thus, I would describe my tutoring philosophy as entirely facilitative - I want to be there to help my students reach their goals on their own. Personally, my interests shadow my studies, but extend beyond them as well. I am matriculating to medical school next year, and am passionate about biomedical science and helping people. I spend my free time reading, playing pick-up basketball...

...led me to stress the importance of realizing what the transferable skills are from Mathematics and that it is a human endeavor, above all else. I take a holistic approach to teaching, which means that students are expected to reason through problems algebraically, graphically, pictorially and verbally. When students are able to synthesize these four approaches to concept mastery, real understanding emerges, and students, perhaps for the first times in their lives, see what they...

...and would like to teach students to improve with their academic skills, help with home work, instant assistance and ace the college board tests, SAT I and SAT subject and AP Tests. I spent much time examining during my high school and would like to share my knowledge, experience, test tips, strategies and test time management skills. I will help students not only to understand a topic but also to develop their thinking and reasoning...

...I have been tutoring students from levels K-college in mathematics and science with my former teacher for five years now and am passionate about education. While I enjoy tutoring many different subjects, my favorite is any facet of mathematics because it is fascinating to be able to explain the real world through numbers. Having gone through the rigors of standardized testing and having taught the material, I understand how to create an engaging and productive...

...experience) and sincerely enjoy tutoring students in those areas. I also enjoy tutoring for standardized tests. While I was studying for the SAT, ACT, and MCAT, all of my preparation was through self-study; as a result, I have a unique approach to preparing for tests that emphasizes knowing the test itself more than the actual material. In addition to tutoring natural sciences and standardized test prep, I tutor Spanish, which I studied for 7 years...

...a conceptual level, why things are done the way that they are. Over the course of my tutoring career I have found this approach to be far more effective in the long run. If you give a students a robust base of knowledge and the tools to build off of it, you empower them to learn new topics by themselves, tackle test questions that they haven't seen before, and leave them with broadly applicable skills...

...and continued to play at the University of Arizona. I have been tutoring for the past five years with much success in both Math and Physics. During this time I have found that the most effective method to convey difficult concepts is by actively developing the concepts and supporting them with clear simple examples. I understand the highly demanding schedule many high school students face and the ever-growing demand for improved success in the sciences....

...a teaching assistant for undergraduate physics, I was the highest rated teaching assistant in the physics department two years in a row. The ratings evaluated both my content and my ability to convey complex subjects in a way that even non-science and math students were able to comprehend. As a tutor, I was very successful in improving students' grades in high school math and physics and obtained high ratings from students and parents. In addition,...

...starting a teaching fellowship in Colombia, where I taught high school English. I am currently interviewing for medical school for matriculation in August 2017. I have a variety of teaching and tutoring experiences, including working as a self-employed tutor, an organic chemistry teaching assistant, and a high school English teacher. I primarily tutor math, science, the MCAT, and Spanish. I recognize that success in school depends on study habits and techniques as much as understanding...

...satisfying than seeing the pieces fall into place for a student who has previously been struggling with a topic. I firmly believe that learning can be interesting when placed into context. To get to know I'll tell you a little more about myself. Since graduating I've begun working at a software company in NYC. In my free time, I love reading, cooking, and playing music. I've recently begun taking up the guitar. Additionally, I'm always...

...is easier to remember ideas when they make sense at a core level. Then these ideas are applied to the problem, in order to unlock the solution. Generally, when students are having trouble with a problem (or type of problem) there is a non-sequitur somewhere in that process. My job, which is quite fun in this way, is to identify and correct this misunderstanding. One of the best feelings in the world is helping someone...

...many opportunities to work with other students to create and support our own creative platform. Through networking with mentors and advisors I have been able to direct, produce, and edit my own visual and audio works digitally. I've had several articles and radio pieces published in the university's newspaper. These experiences have assisted me in honing my communication and leadership skills. My greatest joy, however, has been mentoring peers and fellow student-athletes along my journey....

...philosophy and knowledge is only solidified best when taught and transmitted. I am expecting to pursue a career in business but for now I have developed a very strong attachment to my position, especially when i see my students raining 4s on their state test and above 90s on their regents. I have tutored all grade level from first grade to college and my specialty lies in state test prep for both math and ela...

...drawn towards solving complex problems and thinking critically. The excitement when taking on a new challenge, analyzing the problem, exploring new ideas and gaining valuable insights in the process, finding optimal solutions and then testing them is absolutely exhilarating to me. To put it simply: I really like math! My hope is to kindle some of this excitement in the students I work with. I am a firm believer of helping students gain a holistic...

...helped students in grades 5-8 strengthen their literacy skills. I tutored students at the Science Learning Center at Lehman College. Here I assisted students in the areas of general and organic chemistry for nursing and science majors, as well as general physics. From this experience I earned a CRLA (College Reading & Learning Association) Level II Tutor Certification. I also held biweekly Supplemental Instruction workshops for both semesters of general chemistry, organic chemistry, and general...

I take the rigor and perseverance that comes with studying maths and sciences very seriously. Studying at Binghamton and at a college level have made me aware that I genuinely love knowing these subjects, and having the privilege to explain them to someone else makes the studying all the more worthwhile. Giving students the confidence to take on these subjects with confidence and no fear--that is the goal.

...to paint and draw, and even had a pretty good conspiracy theory regarding Jack the Ripper. He encouraged me to read the books that he kept beside his chair in the living room, always asking me questions, always pushing me to really think about things the way they are instead of the way we are told they should be. I believe that everyone has the potential to really make themselves into something, however this is...

...my passion for teaching. To me, there is nothing more rewarding than helping someone understand a topic. I believe that the best way to teach is by using examples to ensure that the student can understand the basics of a subject. Following high school, I attended Stony Brook University and obtained a Bachelor's of Science in Physics. I plan on going to grad school and obtaining my masters degree in teaching. I am tutoring general...
