Connor
Pre-Calculus Tutor • +31 Subjects
I am a sophomore at Columbia University, studying political science and philosophy. I often like to joke that teaching runs in my blood I come from a family of teachers who instilled in me the passion to help others learn. Since I could grasp concepts I learned in school, I've always gone out of my way to help my fellow classmate. As I got older, that became formalized tutoring through school organizations and I eventually worked for the New York City Department of Education. There, I helped students with their standardized testing for the state assessments and the SAT. I love teaching math because I feel it's the subject where I can gauge the strength of my students best. Math is such a versatile (though widely-hated) subject, where every unique learning style can always result in the same answer. I also get the most freedom when it comes to designing questions to help students grow and practicing alongside them easily the most fun part of a tutoring session with me. I'm never shy when it comes to tutoring anything else, though, whether it be any sort of history, literature, or government-related topic. My goal as a tutor is not all about teaching anything new to my students, but instead drawing out the skills they already have. Hobbies: art, travel, sports, books, writing, reading, music
Brianna

I am a second year medical student in the new MD program at Nova Southeastern University. I began tutoring students on a volunteer basis when I was in high school and was employed by a tutoring agency while in college. I have experience working with students in Math, Sciences (Biology & Chemistry), and Spanish and have experience tutoring students in Elementary, Middle, and High School as well as college. I also have experience with SAT and ACT prep as I obtained high scores on those standardized tests as well as the MCAT (medical school admissions exams). Hobbies: running, travel, reading, music, writing, singing, art, books, traveling

I hope that sessions with me will make material not just understandable but also enjoyable and applicable. I like incorporating technology, hands-on activities, and real-world applications into my STEM-based tutoring subjects. As a tutor, I specialize in calculus (1, 2, and 3), Computer Science (Python, Java, Web Development), PSAT, and neuroscience/neurobiology. Hobbies: baking, art, books, writing, reading, music
Devansh
Calculus Tutor • +35 Subjects
I am an undergraduate student at Stonybrook University. I am a biology major on the pre-medicine track. I recently graduated from high school with an advanced diploma in Math and Science, achieving a 95+ score in all regents tests. I have tutored students at my temple and at my high school. Even though I have tutored many subjects, my expertise is in highschool math and science classes. I also teach chess, having a 1200+ rapid rating. I greatly believe in teaching with fun and passion and I try my best to make the learning process for my student as fun as possible. In my spare time, I usually practice magic tricks and I might incorporate tricks in my lessons.
Sean
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +42 Subjects
I am a student studying Diplomacy and Languages at Seton Hall University in North Jersey. I have been tutoring in various capacities for the past five years of my life, spanning many subjects and skills. The pinnacle of my experience would be my senior year when I was teaching English, Science and Math in Spanish at my High School as an English Language Learner (ELL) instructor. It is always my prerogative that the people I am working with have a complete understanding of material and are fully prepared to tackle whatever challenge has been facing them. I am very outgoing and always happy to help. My favorite subjects to tutor are those that involve mathematics. A solid understanding of math basics is essential to a successful path through the world of academia. I also have a passion for the general sciences and the spanish language and culture. I look forward to assisting you in your academic journey.
Emily
AP Statistics Tutor • +104 Subjects
I'm a educator and visual artist with many years of experience teaching and tutoring high school and college students. I have a BA in Political Science from New College of Florida and a MFA in Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design. While I'm a photographer by trade, I also have a passion for and expertise in Math and the Natural Sciences -- as well as French and Spanish, having studied and worked in both Paris and Central America. While I'm proficient now, I struggled with both languages early on, and understand the challenges of both starting a new language and in moving from a conversational to a more proficient level. I'm also available for ACT and SAT test prep -- and work especially well with students who are visual learners (though I have a wide range of materials and resources for all styles of learning!).
Alysse
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +43 Subjects
I am also part of the BS/MD program between Adelphi University and SUNY Upstate Medical University. This means that right out of high school, I was guaranteed admission to medical school in 4 years! I will be majoring in Biology. To work towards my goal of becoming an Interventional Cardiologist, I am currently conducting research in Cardiology at St. Francis Hospital, where I also volunteer every year. I tutor in ACT subjects, SAT subjects, AP subjects, Biology, Spanish, and much more! I have successfully obtained my New York State Seal of Biliteracy in Spanish, one of the subjects I'm most passionate about. Being an AP Scholar with Distinction and a recipient of the AP Capstone Diploma has allowed me to tutor an academically diverse array of students. I have tutored previously through afterschool homework help programs at my high school, as well as through Math, Science, and National Honor Society opportunities. However, having been a Children's Museum volunteer and a baseball coach, I enjoy watching young kids and teens improve in not just school, but in many aspects of life. I love teaching by incorporating these different aspects of life (including favorite activities) into different subjects so as to make the learning process more fun and engaging!

Frequently Asked Questions
Students typically find quadratic equations, systems of equations, and polynomial operations most challenging. Many also struggle with translating word problems into algebraic expressions—a skill heavily tested on the Regents. Additionally, graphing functions and interpreting transformations of parent functions trip up students who haven't internalized the connection between equations and their visual representations. A tutor can identify which of these areas are holding you back and build targeted practice around them.
The Regents has 37 questions across multiple choice and constructed response sections, with a 3-hour time limit. Most students benefit from spending 1-2 minutes per multiple choice question, saving 45-60 minutes for the longer constructed response problems where you must show all work. A tutor can help you practice pacing by working through full-length practice tests under timed conditions, identifying which question types slow you down, and developing strategies to skip difficult problems strategically and return to them later.
Constructed response questions require you to show all work and explain your reasoning—partial credit is available even if your final answer is wrong. Start by clearly stating what you're solving for, write out each algebraic step, and explain your reasoning when asked. Common mistakes include skipping steps (which costs points), making arithmetic errors mid-solution, or failing to check if your answer makes sense in context. Tutors who specialize in Regents prep can review your work to ensure you're earning maximum partial credit and catching careless errors before test day.
Taking full-length practice tests under timed conditions is the most effective way to pinpoint gaps. After each test, analyze which topics appear in questions you missed—you might notice a pattern (e.g., you consistently struggle with exponential functions or solving rational equations). A tutor can help you interpret your practice test results, prioritize which topics to review based on frequency and difficulty, and create a focused study plan that targets your specific weaknesses rather than re-studying material you already know.
Test anxiety often stems from uncertainty about whether you can solve problems under pressure. Repeated practice with authentic Regents questions and full-length exams builds genuine confidence because you've actually solved those types of problems before. A tutor can also teach you strategies for managing anxiety in the moment—like taking deep breaths before hard questions, using scratch paper to organize your thinking, and recognizing that you don't need to get every question right to pass. Knowing you've practiced extensively and have a solid plan reduces the panic that interferes with problem-solving.
Word problems require you to extract mathematical information from text, decide which operations or equations apply, solve, and interpret your answer in context—multiple steps where mistakes can happen. Students often rush through reading or misidentify what the problem is asking. A tutor can teach you a systematic approach: underline key information, define variables clearly, write the equation or system that matches the situation, solve step-by-step, and always check whether your answer makes sense (e.g., can a distance be negative?). Regular practice with Regents-style word problems helps you recognize common patterns and build speed.
The Regents provides a reference sheet with some formulas (like the quadratic formula and basic geometric area/volume formulas), but many essential algebraic formulas and properties are not included—you must know them. This includes factoring patterns, exponent rules, properties of equality, and function transformations. A tutor can help you distinguish between what you need to memorize versus what you can look up, and create effective study strategies (like flashcards or formula review sheets) to lock in the formulas you'll need to recall during the exam.
An effective schedule typically spans 4-8 weeks before the exam, with 3-4 study sessions per week. Early weeks focus on reviewing individual topics (polynomials, quadratics, systems) with targeted practice problems. Middle weeks shift to mixed-topic problem sets to build the ability to identify which skills apply. Final weeks emphasize full-length practice tests taken under timed conditions, followed by detailed review of errors. A tutor can customize this timeline based on your starting point and help you stay accountable—research on spaced repetition shows that spreading practice over weeks is far more effective than cramming days before the test.
