Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Manhattan, NY

...and I grew up with a very strong and traditional math background. I always find teaching math to students to be gratifying, and I hope to share some of my love for math with my students. I also enjoy tutoring test prep, especially since I know how stressful the process of applying to colleges (and later graduate schools) is! With every student, I aim to find an individualized approach that makes our time together productive,...

...and high school and college physics. Largely due to my focus on mathematics, my favorite subjects to tutor are within these fields as well: while any opportunity to explain new mathematical concepts to students is a great joy to me, I find that the breakthroughs students experience in calculus and basic algebra (Algebra I or Algebra II) are the most exciting, and those subjects are correspondingly my favorite to tutor. When I'm not tutoring or...

...mainly high school students in the New York State Regents exams and AP Calculus, although I also have experience with students in middle and elementary school. Since I have been through many school systems, including public, private, studying abroad, and boarding school, I have learned many different techniques and can attack a problem from various angles. Ultimately, my teaching style is full of tips and tricks to break down complicated topics into simple, more understandable...

...into small steps and tackled bit by bit. This makes hard problems far less scary and produces steady reward for the solver. My role in your study will be to help you find the small components in a problem and tackle each one, and provide a patient voice of encouragement for you. If you practice solving any kind of problem this way, eventually you won't believe that you ever found any subject intimidating.... Any problem can...

...my experiences as both a tutor and as a student, I work with students to help them reach a high understanding of the subject material. Instead of giving a student the answer outright, I will talk the problem out with them and help them to reach the answer themselves. I know that everyone has a unique way of thinking, and for this reason I show students several ways to approach a problem so they can...

...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 my absolute best to provide a positive, fun, engaging experience for students which focuses on their potential to succeed by showing them how...

...others and augment my own knowledge as I work on a Masters degree in General Psychology. I truly love to learn, and Im inherently inclined to share my enthusiasm for learning with others. My goal is to help students excel in all of their coursework, and to identify the subjects that excite them the most. Everyone has unique preferences for the ways in which they learn new material. I aim to devise individualistic strategies for...

...Asking questions and finding the answers allow me to tell great stories and (hopefully) increase the level of knowledge among the public. As a recent student myself, I understand how the pressures of school can sometimes work against your innate curiosity. As a tutor, my goal is of course to help you maximize your success in school and standardized tests. But it's also (again, hopefully) to make room for curiosity, and to remind students, at...

...first became passionate about tutoring in high school, when I would assist other students in mathematics. I also have experience working with elementary school students in a bilingual New York City public school. One of the aspects of tutoring that I always look forward to is when students are able to confidently join their peers. In order to succeed in math, I approach each problem as a puzzle, and I encourage my students to try...

As a tutor, I am dedicated to enhancing student comprehension by focusing on thought processes as well as the answer itself, ensuring that students follow a logical step-by-step progression when solving problems and maximizing their understanding of the topics at hand. I have experience tutoring at the high school and collegiate level through student organizations, university employment, and personal offerings.

...This kind of understanding will help not only with immediate academic gains, but with future success as well. In school environments, students often do not receive individualized attention that seeks out the gaps in their understanding. By spending time with my student, I can assess those gaps and fill them, helping my students improve. All the knowledge in the world will amount to naught if you don't have the confidence to apply it. I build...

I am currently studying Economics and East Asian Studies at Columbia University. Outgoing by nature, I have a teaching method that is very interactive. During a tutoring session, my students should expect a dialogue rather than a lecture. I have a background tutoring Math and Mandarin Chinese to students ranging from Elementary School to College.

...becomes less of a challenge. The way I teach is pretty straightforward - the only thing I ask of students is to ask questions. Ask as soon as something comes into your mind because chances are if you are not sure of something now, you are definitely not going to be sure of it later. I, and I am certain a lot of other people, have a tendency of just nodding "yes" when being explained...

...with a B.A. in Psychology and minor in Marketing. I have always excelled in math and science courses, and in college, I tutored students in statistics and was a Teaching Assistant for Intro to Cognitive Science. I've also had many years of experience helping kids from elementary school to high school with their homework. When tutoring, I am to teach and guide students through problem-solving, without hand-holding. I'm very excited to be tutoring for Varsity...

...from Brown University with a degree in Public Policy, but I my fields of study ranged from biology to organic chemistry to British literature. I'm a hardworking, compassionate, and patient individual who has been tutoring since high school and helping my little sister with her homework long before. I'll work with every new student individually to recognize his or her strengths and weaknesses to make sure that material is actually being learned, not just memorized.

...precious and needs to be utilized most efficiently if the student is going to succeed. After reviewing the student's previous work and/or test scores, together, we set up a curriculum that works to strengthen his or her weaknesses whether that be reading comprehension, grammar skills, algebra, test taking tips, time management, etc. During our sessions together, we will review the problems that I have provided for homework, and I will instruct the student on better...

...attending Connecticut College studying Psychology with a minor in Applied Statistics. I know how hard it can be to learn new material and to find a tutor a student can connect with. In my studies, I have learned many techniques to stay organized and thoroughly understand course content, while being sensitive to the variation in how people learn differently. In addition to tutoring, my interests include fashion and beauty, dance, hiking, and skiing.

...the basics, good communication, and the ability to connect with people and to see things from their perspective. My patience, listening skills, and communication skills developed from over 300 hours of experience have sharpened those characteristics. Through countless experience in the past, I have an excellent idea of what techniques work best for what types of learners. I also believe that through tutoring, not only should you walk away knowing the material but also knowing...
