Award-Winning Science Tutors serving Long Island, NY

...have worked hard in the subjects that I excel in to get where I currently am. I am an undergraduate student at Stony Brook University majoring in Mathematics, so you could say that Math and me really click. I have worked with others, trying to better help them obtain a better understanding of math and they have shown bright results. My hobbies include some outdoor activities like going row boating or hanging with friends. I...

...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 been a passion of mine ever since I was growing up. I always knew...

...fish and they possess improved test-taking skills for a lifetime." Specializing in ACT/SAT test preparation as well as Mathematics, I carry with me, aside from a substantial knowledge of all subjects, a "bag of tricks" made up of pneumonic devices, preparation skills, and exercises in focus/concentration. With any session, my goal is to deconstruct seemingly difficult concepts into more digestible steps -- in essence working with the student to develop a strategy that is personal...

...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 believe that...

...the chemistry department at the university. So far I love my teaching position as it not only brings me happiness in helping others succeed, but it helps me build a stronger understanding on how to be a better instructor. When I teach, I try not to lecture the student, but engage them by connecting what I teach with real-life scenarios. Especially in hard sciences like biology, this makes it much easier for students to understand...

...I taught introductory chemistry lab for science majors at Grand Valley State University. After some self reflection I decided medical school was not the path I wanted to take and decided instead to move to New York City to pursue my other passion of performing on stage. However, due to my background in academia and teaching, I desired to maintain plugged into that world in whatever way I could. That is how I discovered VarsityTutors....

Hi, I'm the philosopher they call Andrew! You are most very definitely welcome to come to me with any school questions, but be warned: there's a good chance we'll soon be figuring out the meaning of life...

...he/she is doing and why they are doing. This insight will make them a stronger, faster and better student, particularly in the field of mathematics. This brings the student long term results that could extend far beyond the work done in the tutoring sessions. Mathematics is my love and economics is my passion and because of this I bring incredible enthusiasm for the subject to my work. I bring the beauty of mathematics into my...

...to provide mentorship and academic support to my brothers. As a tutor at Varsity Tutors, I strive to provide this same level of support to every one of my students. Math has always been my strongest subject, and I enjoy learning and teaching it. As a Business Economics major at UCLA, I used Calculus to create Economic models in the majority of my courses. As an Investment Banker, I strengthened my understanding of fundamental mathematical...

...with AmeriCorps NCCC, a residential service program in which I lived and worked with 11 other young people on community service projects throughout the west coast. The experience was wonderful, both as an opportunity to gain a deep understanding of teamwork and gain skills in dealing with a great diversity of people, and as an opportunity to explore the country while doing some really hard and rewarding work. I've had experience tutoring throughout college both...

I graduated magna cum laude from Columbia University. I earned a B.A. in Biology and Economics. I'm currently working as a Research Associate during my gap year before medical school. During my free time, I enjoy staying active, playing golf, swimming, running, and playing tennis. I love exploring new activities and neighborhoods in the NYC area.

I have been teaching students for the past ten years. I love watching a student grow and achieve their goals! I have worked as a teacher and school administrator, but my real passion lies in working with students one-on-one. I graduated with a degree in Journalism and History from NYU, and love working with students on math, reading, and writing.

...rather than give them one answer to memorize. I use diagrams and pictures to really emphasize the importance of visual learning. As a tutor, I try to figure out why a student does not understand a concept and immediately try to tailor my approach to fulfill that student's needs. I help the student relate science to their daily lives using stories and examples so he or she may gain a better understanding of the material....

...for Biology 7 - 12 and am pursuing a secondary certification in SPED 7 - 12. My approach to tutoring is simple: learning does not come easily if it cannot be made digestible. In this light, I employ a range of techniques to engage and drive my students towards their own litmus of success. I love integrating games, technology, or a points system to support students. If the first approach does not work, I am...

...I know how to rephrase questions and bring them back in ways that each student is interested in to see maximum results. Most importantly, I find ways to make the material interesting and easily relatable to my students. A personal investment in material is a great way to see progress! Aside from learning and teaching, I love traveling (I recently visited Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia and plan to go to South Africa in a bit),...

...believe in expanding the students' world by teaching not only facts and theories but the implication behind them in addition to sufficient application practice. I want the students to foster intellectual curiosity as they delve into a particular subject. Born and raised in Beijing for 18 years, I can also teach Chinese and the rich culture around it. I'm also experienced in test prep and would love to help students get into their dream college...

...an after school tutoring facility specializing in math and reading. I worked one on one with students and graded their work, which ranged from elementary math to calculus. I believe in being patient with the kids I work with. Many learn at different paces, which is why they may fall behind in school. I try to connect what they are learning to school to something they can more easily understand: Teaching the same thing, but...

...editing written material. I believe that q & a sessions are outdated and a banal approach to actually getting through to a student. Instead, I believe it is the duty of a tutor to inspire his/her tutees with creative study ideas and helpful organizational skills that they will be able to implement on their own outside the tutorial session. I also believe that as a tutor it is my duty to not only make sure...

...love with spending a great deal of time writing and thinking about books. I've previously interned at a literary agency, where I read manuscripts all day and wrote reader's reports, and spent my pre-COVID post-graduate time working as a live sound engineer at a number of music venues around New York City. I'm very passionate about writing, literature, and music -- I love teaching these subjects, and helping students identify with their work in a...

...students, ages 8-20. In terms of my clients, I like working with dedicated, passionate students who are willing to put in the work to achieve their goals. For me, tutoring is about working with a student until they are able to achieve their goal, and even beyond that so that they have the confidence to continue pursuing their dreams. I'm very patient, calm, and thorough when covering a subject, and I truly enjoy watching my...
