"I am a science, math, test preparation, and writing instructor with almost 20 years of experience. I have helped students from nearly every imaginable academic background achieve success in the subjects I tutor. Unlike other people who perform well on standardized tests, I can confidently and accurately explain the step-by-step approach that I took to arrive at the correct answer. The reason for my adeptness is that I have spent years studying standardized tests so that I could get inside the minds of the people who actually write them.
My teaching approach is tailored to the student. If I see that a student is struggling in an area because of a lack of a conceptual understanding, I will deliver a full lecture on the topic so that any confusions are eliminated. With every problem, I then explain the step-by-step procedure and the difference in the approaches used for a certain type of problem compared to other problems of that type. I also learned through my interactions with clients that many times they do not feel comfortable saying that they do not understand an explanation, so I often ask them to explain it back to me. I will omit this step if a client makes the request to save time. For visual learners, I can make use of charts, diagrams, tables, and images and videos from the internet.
As for my educational background, I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Binghamton University, and I am currently working on a second degree in Mechanical Engineering at NJIT. I am not the type of person who never looks at the subject matter of a class that I had taken ever again after the completion of the class. In fact, I will continue studying a subject even if I receive an A in it so that I will attain a mastery of it. This is a quality that has made me such an effective tutor over the years. If you are ready to ace your classes , even challenging ones like calculus, or pass difficult standardized tests, you have found the right person." less...
