Award-Winning Finite Mathematics Tutors for Students in Suffolk County, NY

...abilities in a wide variety of subjects. There is no confusion too small or problem too complicated that I cannot help with if not solve. I am exceptionally dedicated to my students; ensuring that they not simply memorize concepts or regurgitate facts but truly understand the material. I ask them to defend their answers which teaches them that the correct response is often less important than the reasoning used to reach said response. I honestly...

...mathematics. I have loved math ever since I was a child, my parents started teaching me to use strictly mental math from age 4, and since then, math has always been my strongest subject. My passion for mathematics stretches even farther when I tutored other students alongside me in class during my AP Calculus courses in High School, and even in college when I was taking Calculus 3 and Differential Equations. For me, teaching has...

...graduated from Brown with a B.S. in mathematics this past May. Whether it's test prep, math, or writing, any skill or problem can be broken down 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...

...the sciences. In college, I taught a weekly class to local high school students interested in learning about neuroscience.

I have passed five actuarial exams (P, FM, IFM, STAM, and SRM), and will be taking LTAM this...

...not have the time to give sufficient personalized attention, the way a qualified tutor can. I believe that I can help motivate and encourage students who are currently having difficulty. I teach in a conceptual manner, encouraging deeper thought, rather than pure memorization. I have been a mathematics tutor for over twenty years. I started tutoring while attending the University of Pennsylvania in 1992. I have had numerous tutoring experiences throughout the years, spanning from...

...and of course, the general sciences. Working with these kids has taught me that the more you extend yourself to your students, the more they are encouraged to work harder and strive harder. Every tutor has a different way of teaching and every student has a different way of learning. However, it is important to combine the two to develop methods and take approaches in a manner which makes the students grasp and really understand...

...number of different levels, but my absolute favorite subjects are Physics, Chemistry, Math and Biomedical Engineering. The basic sciences are always the most interesting because they govern the behavior of the world around us and it still amazes me how a few simple equations can apply to so many situations, including things we experience every day. My preferred teaching style involves a little bit of give and take. I think I excel at giving students...

...spending time with friends and reading. As 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...

Hello, my name is Riley Northrop. I am a high school math teacher and a tutor! I have taught 7th grade math, algebra, and geometry. I have also tutored algebra 2, calculus, statistics, and physics! I love tutoring and can explain concepts in a way that will make sense!

...as a substitute teacher in New York City public, private, and charter schools, teaching all grades and subjects during the school year. In the Summer, I've taught classes in Summer Camps all over Brooklyn, so I've definitely run the spectrum of youth education in New York City! In my junior and senior years of college, I won English Department awards for playwriting and essaywriting, and my plays have been read and performed in theater spaces,...

...etc). I have always found myself being 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...

...fear of the subject in middle school. Far from the 'arm-raised-straight-up' type, I was perfectly comfortable dreading being called on and relying on assured knowledge that I'd never needing such useless facts again. However, a curveball was thrown my way after reaching the 10th grade where I uncovered a nascent interest in physics. After reading A Brief History of Time and realizing that math and physics were so inextricably linked, I decided that I wanted...

...and teaching at the beginning of college. I have variety of tutoring/teaching experiences ranging from working with elementary school students to college students. I tutor all K-12 Math courses and introductory college mathematics courses. My favorite course to tutor is Calculus AB/1. I believe I enjoy teaching it because it lends itself to a variety of approaches, from graphical and numerical to strictly symbolic. When working with students, I try to understand how students think...

...always a student's favorite subject. In fact, it is feared for precisely the reason it ought to be admired: the problem-solving opportunities it presents. By teaching problem solving, I hope to in my own small way help to prepare a student not just for some particular career but any career. My hobbies include reading, exploring New York City, and - on occasion- following sports. I am also always up for a good card or board...

...areas in mathematics, especially statistics. While it is tempting and easy for students to simply want to know and teachers to want to teach "how to solve the problem", I believe that it is very important to understand why the question is solved the way it is. This helps people to understand not only how the problem is solved, but also helps to build their problem solving skills in general. Outside of academia, I enjoy...

...knowing that my students are interested in becoming more knowledgeable and proficient in the selected subject matter. I want to help every one of my students achieve their goals and also help make their dreams a reality. When I am not teaching or tutoring students I enjoy playing golf and exercising. I have played golf for over 17 years and I have never broken a hundred. I promise you I am a much better teacher and...

During my career I have worked as a Quantitative Developer for the leading financial companies including J.P.Morgan Chase, Bank of America, and Credit Suisse. Most likely I shall be able to help you with better understanding of mathematical and programming questions.

...the things that interested me and what i found interesting then was math. When i enrolled in college i had to idea that i was going to major in English and Philosophy. I honestly though i was gonna be a mathematician or some sort of engineer. I was interestingly please and felt in love with story telling and writing and decides that a major in English in philosophy would make more sense. I combines that...

...for the past 7 years! Nothing is more satisfying than seeing the pieces fall into place for a student who has previously been struggling with a topic.
