Award-Winning Graduate Test Prep Tutors serving Buffalo, NY

...an odd tendency: no one would expect a mathematician to be able to solve complex equations without training, practice, and inevitable mistakes. Literature is one of the most complex arts we have! By drawing on my tutoring experience, professional writing and copyediting history, and my education at Columbia University's MFA program, I'm confident that I can help students to develop their capacity to read and write at higher levels, and better still, to enjoy doing...

...of subjects including literature, philosophy, and education. Once admitted to Deep Springs, students are typically required to read upwards of 100 pages per day from authors such as Hegel, Joyce, and Thucydides; and to write several essays per week, which are peer-critiqued in seminar classes. I plan to bring my depth of experience in reading, critical analysis, and writing to each tutoring session in order to help students achieve their goals in these areas.

Hello! I'm Ryan Nguyen. I am an Aerospace Engineer at the University at Buffalo. It is my mission to take my knowledge and convey it to others. I will do everything in my power to guarantee, that people I help walk away more confident than when they came to see me.

...is the main way in which I see myself helping others. When I was studying for my LSAT, I struggled most significantly with Reading Comprehension and, through diligent study and practice, was able to better my performance in this difficult section; I would love to help students make similar achievements. The LSAT is a daunting task but I am a firm believer that it is a learnable exam that, while challenging, can certainly be tackled!

I like offering fun and productive tutoring experiences. I get to know my students and try to make tailor-made lessons that will provide the most opportunity to learn and grow.

...individual needs. I understand what it means to be a visual learner, and how hard that can be when a professor only lectures. This is something that I had to overcome in my studies, and really enjoy helping other students not only master their subjects, but also enabling them to perceive and receive information so that they can absorb the knowledge and perform well when tested. When this is done, confidence is boosted, and it's...

...to learn material, I feel it is equally or perhaps more important to learn how to approach the material. This is somewhere that I feel I have a lot to offer you - not just helping you to learn, but to learn how to learn. In doing so, my goal will be to assist you by catering to your personal learning style and typical approach, which may not be the same as mine or another...

...home instruction to students who were not able to attend school in person. Students I have worked with have shown evidence of learning through formal and informal assessments, and have been successful in passing courses with high marks. Although the students I work with have been successful, that is no guarantee of success. It is important that all the students I work with understand that if they are dedicated and willing to do the work,...

...in Socratic formats from the very beginning to institute types of mutual trust and respect as well as many opportunities as possible to engage in "fearless efforts," regardless of their level of performance. I have found that this is the most accurate way of assessing understanding and promoting inclusiveness, especially in classrooms which include non-native English speaking students. In addition, dynamic lesson planning which incorporates multimedia and varied access points for caribous literacy levels and...

...mine and I have found use for it in my everyday life. I have realized that there are many different ways of approaching a single, simple problem. Having the best skills and tools to make various approaches can be crucial when trying to find a solution. I believe I have the ability to teach various methods and ways of thought to help each individual that may struggle with various aspects of the subject. I also...

...tests in Literature and Psychology, and the GRE General and Subject test in Literature. My scores are included in my profile. I am also a writing technique tutor at the Center for Excellence in Writing at UB and enjoy working one-on-one with students from a variety of academic backgrounds, including in Science and Engineering. I am happy to travel to libraries or elsewhere to tutor. I am looking forward to hearing from you!

...I am looking to keep my memory and my skill sharp! I believe that tutoring is about more than just getting questions right on homework and exams. I strive to make sure all my students understand, learn, and maybe even enjoy the subjects that I help them with. I have the most joy when I see my students succeed on the strength of their acquired knowledge, not just their ability to regurgitate information or equations.

...and ratings. I have been teaching as an adjunct faculty at various local universities and colleges since my postdoctoral position at Cornell. I mostly lecture undergraduate physics & engineering students. I have undertaken almost 1000+ hours of online tutoring. I love teaching Physics and helping out college (College Physics), high school (AP Physics I, II & C, NY Regents), and other students. Courses I teach: Mechanics, ELectrcity & Magnetism, Modern Physics, Thermal Physics, Solid State...

...a wide variety of courses, including Global History 9 (ancient/medieval), Global History II (modern), The American Civil War, Economics, U. S. History (both 8th and 11th Grade), and a World Today/Current Events elective. This teaching experience has taught me how to meet the needs of a wide variety of student learners, including gifted, ENL, and special education students, as a social studies teacher. Before student teaching, I spent several years studying history at both the...

As an experienced tutor and teacher with a Ph.D. in English, my ultimate goal has always been for students to read and use written language not only as a way of demonstrating knowledge, but as a means for acquiring knowledge. I encourage students to use language to structure their thinking in ways that will ensure success in whatever course, exam, or extracurricular goal they hope to achieve.

...I believe in a strong give and take between us. I will do my best to make you think your way through a problem instead of spoon feeding you, no apologies. I enjoy teaching. I am not a theoretician but am an old hands-on plant dog and someone who has gotten their hands dirty and sometimes bloody. Outside of Engineering I have written several novels and am a serious history buff, model RRer, wargamer, former...

...think about what the problem is asking, and the steps needed to solve it. I am passionate in tutoring math and the sciences, believing that curiosity propels a student's education. In my time in college, I have developed a love for learning, and enjoy the opportunity to share this joy with others. Outside of classes, I can be found doing research in my professor's lab, spending time outside, or going to games at my university.
