What sets me apart?
I see the big picture. I possess a comprehensive and thorough understanding of each subject that I tutor. Rather than emphasizing memorization as many teachers and tutors do, I encourage a deeper understanding of the concepts behind each subject. Thus, the student learns to internalize, interconnect, integrate, and apply these concepts in a broad context. In addition, I share the many strategies and tricks that I have discovered through helping hundreds of students, so I can guide you to avoid common pitfalls and traps, and confidently achieve the grades and scores you deserve. My goal is to advance your knowledge as well as build your confidence level.
Subjects
Subjects Offered
I offer comprehensive tutoring in the following subjects
Standardized Test Prep
Math sections of the SAT, ACT, GRE, and GMAT, as well as science sections of the MCAT
If you need help mastering the foundations of Algebra, understanding the nuances of Physics or Chemistry, or preparing for high-stakes exams like the SAT or MCAT, I am here to guide you every step of the way.
Mathematics
Mathematics is typically a challenging subject for many, but with the right approach, it becomes manageable and even enjoyable. My math tutoring sessions focus on building a deep understanding of the subject matter, empowering you to tackle problems with confidence and ease.
I offer tutoring in the following math subjects:
- Algebra: From solving equations to graphing functions, I will help you master both basic and advanced algebraic concepts, ensuring a strong foundation.
- Pre-Calculus: Laying the groundwork for calculus, this course involves understanding functions, trigonometry, and limits. I simplify these concepts, making them easier to grasp.
- Calculus I & II: Whether it’s differentiation or integration, I help students navigate these advanced topics, providing clear explanations and practical examples.
- Statistics: Learn how to analyze and display data, calculate probabilities, understand statistical models, and perform statistical inference. I make statistics approachable by breaking down complex ideas into digestible lessons.
With a flexible, individualized approach, I work at your pace and adapt to your unique learning style, making sure you not only pass your math courses but truly understand the material as well.
Science
Science can be daunting, but I make it accessible and understandable. Whether you need help with biology, chemistry, or physics, I provide tutoring that breaks down these complex subjects into clear, manageable lessons.
I offer expert tutoring in the following science subjects:
- Chemistry: From atomic structure to chemical reactions and stoichiometry, I will guide you through the key concepts of chemistry with hands-on practice and strategies to excel in lab work and exams. I tutor Organic Chemistry as well as General Chemistry.
- Physics: Mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism are just a few areas I cover in physics. I’ll help you understand the underlying principles and apply them to solve problems confidently.
- Biology: Whether it’s cell biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, or physiology, I make biology engaging by relating concepts to real-world examples and helping you navigate challenging coursework and exams.
With years of experience tutoring science subjects, I’ve developed unique strategies to help students avoid common pitfalls and succeed in both homework and exams. My goal is to make science not only understandable but enjoyable, allowing you to see the beauty and logic behind each concept.
Standardized Tests
Preparing for standardized tests can be overwhelming, but with the right guidance, it doesn’t have to be. I specialize in helping students excel in the math and science sections of major exams, offering personalized strategies to boost your scores and build your confidence.
I offer test prep for the following exams:
- SAT & ACT Math: I’ll work with you to master the specific types of math questions on these exams, helping you avoid common traps and use efficient problem-solving techniques.
- GRE & GMAT Math: Whether you’re aiming for grad school or business school, I provide the tools and strategies to tackle challenging GRE and GMAT math questions, ensuring you maximize your potential.
- MCAT Science: The science sections of the MCAT require a deep understanding of biology, chemistry, and physics and how these subjects interconnect with one-another. In the pre-med courses, you are typically spoon-fed isolated facts with no unifying context. This doesn’t work for success on the MCAT. There, you are required to integrate many topics within and across all disciplines of science. I offer targeted support to do this, ensuring you are fully prepared for the rigors of the exam.
In each of these test prep courses, I don’t just teach the material—I focus on test-taking strategies, time management, and common pitfalls to avoid. I know what it takes to achieve high scores, and I’m committed to helping you reach your goals.
