I love working with young people and helping them to succeed. I have had lots of experience teaching all grade levels, including adults. I have worked in classroom settings and also one on one tutoring sessions. I have worked primarily in the United States but also in Taiwan and mainland China. I very much look forward to working with you.

I like to learn, and teach what I learn. Learning is a wonderful thing, and it should not be difficult. I believe it is my job to explain this to someone who is struggling with learning something new, because all complex things in the universe is built up on simple concepts/structures. The only best way to learn is by both teaching and learning. One of the great things the Islamic prophet Muhammad used to say, "The best among you are the ones who learn and teach what they learn."
I am an enthusiastic Mechanical Engineer. I recently obtained my Ph.D. from New York University Tandon School of Engineering.I enjoy disseminating the knowledge I have accumulated throughout my studies via teaching and mentorship. My record in mentoring high school and undergraduate students shows how dedicated I am in teaching.
I'm currently a Ph.D student at NYU Tandon School of Engineering studying Chemical Engineering. I have a strong background in calculus and related math courses. My goal at Varsity Tutors is to work with other students to overcome challenges they may face in their high school or college math courses. My math is tested every day as a Ph.D student so my math skills remain very sharp.
I recently graduated from NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering with a bachelors of science in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. During my time as an undergraduate student I volunteered for Women for Afghan Women, an organization designed to foster a nurturing environment to underprivileged women and children. I had the privilege of tutoring and mentoring these bright children who often come from troubled families. My work entailed not only helping them with school work but also helping them cope with the situation they're in. I also had the opportunity to tutor for the Polytechnic Tutoring Center, which provides walk-in group tutoring for students attending the University. I tutored General Chemistry for Engineers, General Chemistry 1 &2, and Physical Chemistry. I learned to tailor my efforts towards each individual student and see which method best suited them. I firmly believe that each student has the ability to excel in whatever they wish as long as they believe in themselves, a value I hope to instill in all my students. I am patient, passionate, and excited about meeting new people and learning how they hope to make a difference in this world. In my spare time I love to watch and play sports, in particular Football. Lets go Giants!
I am an electrical engineer and project manager from NYC. I love both what I do professionally and helping others to meet and exceed their goals. I hope to be able to do the latter here in the academic realm.I have a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Hofstra University and a M.S. in Electrical Engineering from NYU-Poly. I am a licensed Professional Engineer as well as a Project Management Professional. I have been tutoring family and friends in a wide variety of subjects for 8 years. In the future, I am planning to become an educator at either the high school or collegiate level.Outside of work, I like to work out, play sports, and I occasionally play PS4 and computer games. I've been training in kickboxing for 2 years now.
Education should not be a mundane experience; it should allow people to use their skills and creativity to become innovative. It is for this reason that I teach students to develop an understanding of concepts--rather than dictate information--and identify ways to apply this knowledge for practical purposes. My style incorporates critical thinking exercises and real-world examples to explain core concepts.I have taught individuals from grade school through college in mathematics, physics and writing skills for nearly ten years, and each experience has allowed me to refine my methods to better help students become more proficient in their studies. Several of the students I work with notice substantial improvements in their academic performance within a short time frame. In addition, some individuals develop a genuine appreciation of the subject material and choose to pursue postsecondary studies and careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).My goal is to provide students with an engaging and enriched learning experience. I look forward to the opportunity to help new students reach their academic potential.
My greatest passion is helping others. I enjoy doing so by leading students to a meaningful understanding of new material and showing them various strategies for approaching a problem.I have been tutoring both children and my peers for about ten years. I worked as a tutor for elementary, middle, and high school students privately and with tutoring centers. I was a teaching assistant in the General Engineering course at NYU and a science teacher at a charter school for students in K-4th grade.I enjoy tutoring math and science (especially chemistry) from the elementary to college level.I am currently an graduate student at Columbia University studying Biomedical Engineering. I obtained my Bachelor in Science from NYU in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.
I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering with a minor in Mechanical Engineering from NYU Tandon School of Engineering in 2014. In 2015, I received my Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Stony Brook University. I am a research engineer and have 5 years of work experience as an engineer. In addition, I have worked with students throughout high school, college and post-college as a tutor. While I tutor a variety of math and science subjects, I prefer to tutor math. Algebra has always been my favorite subject with chemistry as my second favorite and is what I am most passionate about. I find that it is easiest for students to understand the subject when it is related to something they are interested in outside of the classroom. In my free time, I enjoy playing sports, especially soccer, as well as reading and occasionally running. I am also an avid NY Giants fan.
Hello,My name is Adel. I received my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from New York University in December 2016. I am expert in teaching math and physics at any level from elementary to graduate.In particular, I teach: Algebra I and II, AP calculus, Calculus I and II, Geometry, Differential equations, Physics I and II, Linear Algebra, Mechanical Engineering courses and etc.Let me know if you are also interested in learning any type of coding programs such as MATLAB, C++, JAVA, Fortran, and Mathematica or engineering software such as ABAQUS, ANSYS, and COMSOL.
My name is Dr. Samuel Feldman. My entire life has been dedicated to science and education. Previously, I was an adjunct professor and biomedical engineering research scientist at the NYU Medical Center. For the last 12 years, I have taught Physics and Chemistry in New Jersey public high schools.As your coach, I can help you achieve your personal goals whether it is to get a high score on a standardized Exam such as Advanced Placement or SAT 2 or just to do better in your high school science classes.What you will discover is that Physics and Chemistry are not difficult once you have mastered the fundamentals. So, that is where we will start. Most of us are visual learners so I use visuals and everyday life examples. I have a tool box of props such as models and flash cards to help you accomplish this.Once you have mastered the fundamentals, you can apply this knowledge to problem solving. I have study guides and sample tests for AP and SAT 2 Exams. (I also have copies of nearly every Physics and Chemistry text book used in New Jersey.) There is a lot of repetition and certain problem types show up on nearly every test.Finally, I will coach you on test taking strategies and techniques. If you are taking a standardized exam, time management skills are essential.If you select me as your coach, you will need to work hard but you will discover that mastering science can be fun.
I understand the daily struggle and that you NEED the better grades, which is why I'll make sure you learn the subject well and come out of your course with the better grades. I love teaching people because I know how it feels to finally solve that problem you've been struggling with, and how nice it is that someone helped you do it. Whether its Algebra or Calculus 2, a problem is a problem that needs to be solved and understood. Furthermore, I can help advise you with different high school needs outside of the subject area as you need.
I graduated from the Polytechnic Institute of New York University. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Chemical and Biological Engineering and I am a registered PhD candidate in Chemical Engineering at the West Virginia University. While an undergraduate, I studied in India for a six month semester. During that time I reveled in the culture and joined a group called "Disha" to teach English to primary school students. I have been a high school teacher in Grenada, teaching Mathematics and Chemistry as the School's sole Chemistry teacher. I absolutely enjoyed seeing the students grow from science introverts to build a national award-winning science project. I am torn between Math and Chemistry as my favorite subjects. Chemistry embodies science and I love helping students appreciate its principles and the simplify its seemingly turmoil. In Mathematics, my own educational and teaching experience have afforded many concrete examples which I use to depict its abstractness. Science and technology are the basis for industry off which everything else spins, and I am supportive to students on this magnanimous journey, to improve their lives and that of others. Some of my favorite past time activities include soccer (both playing and watching), kite making and flying, photography, cooking, and running.
I am an electrical engineer from Brooklyn, New York. I possess a bachelor's degree (CUNY) and master's degree (NYU) in electrical engineering and specialize in power systems. I would like to share with you all of my problem solving knowledge I have acquired and develop you into a productive and confident student.Many students suffer from anxiety when dealing with math and physics and then decide to want nothing to do with these subjects. They feel like they don't have the mind to understand mathematical concepts. But I tell you that you have the potential and mental capacity to learn the math and physics you need to excel in your courses, pass your exams and move on with your life.Understanding math and physics is a matter of first discovering in which areas of the concepts are your weakness and then strengthen your understanding in these areas and move forward. I can help you understand concepts you are having difficulty with and develop you into a productive and confident problem solver. You will be very surprised and proud of the progress and success you make with just a little effort and faith. So let's get started! :)
I enjoy learning and I've been a tutor for a long time at different types of tutoring venues over the years. I have bachelors degrees in chemical engineering and chemistry and a PhD in chemical engineering. I am a life-long learner. For the purposes of tutoring, my main proficiency is in chemistry, physics, math, Spanish, ACT/SAT prep, and some English. I think that tutoring is not about teaching but about learning. The student needs to be gain interest via examples, questions, and humor in order to become proficient. A combination of written, visual, and visual aids the learning; advancement occurs over several stages, but should end with the student being able to work on problems as independently as possible.
My name is Adlai, and I'm a chemical engineering PhD student at NYU. I love to help people learn and hope to be a professor one day!
Many students benefit from one on one learning experiences. It is important that students get individual attention to ensure that they understand the material, and that attention is not always given in the classroom environment. Students should be able to feel comfortable with their teachers and ask questions when they need clarification, and there should be enough trust between teacher and student for easy conversation.
I am an undergraduate student attending Tandon School of Engineering at New York University. I will be earning a Bachelors of Science in Business and Technology Management while minoring in Mechanical Engineering. Before attending college, I was a teacher and office assistant who taught students elementary, middle school, SHSAT and SAT level math, while performing clerical tasks under a tutoring center. Additionally, as a member of the National Honor Society I tutored underclassmen STEM related subjects such as physics and calculus during my senior year at high school. While tutoring a wide variety of STEM related subjects though, I find great interest tutoring elementary and middle school math, specifically pre-algebra, algebra, SHSAT, along with the basic concepts of math at those levels. Given the experience I had helping students prepare for Common Core State Exams or SHSAT, the students and I feel like we are solving a "detective case" with each math question in front of us, and I'd allow the students to be detectives looking for clues in the problem as that is what math involves; this in fact makes the learning experience a lot fun for me as a teacher and them as students that I wouldn't want to really give up on. I consider myself to be a strong advocator of education for every child as Malala Yousafzai once said "one child, one teacher, one pen, and one book can change the world." During my free time, I enjoy reading the news about social reforms, exercising, and cooking.
