Tutor in Huntington, New York

As someone who once struggled in school myself, I know how stressful it can be when you don’t know why you are scoring poorly on exams, essays, and presentations, and thus how to improve. If you hire me, you will gain quality feedback and customized instruction that directly targets your teenager’s weaknesses and fosters a better understanding and grasp of the content, enabling him or her to improve quickly. Here are some of my results over the past ten years: 90 % of my students’ grades in Social Studies and English rose to A or A within 2 months. 100% of my Regents (NYS) students passed on their first try. More than 65% of my students earned a 4 or 5 on their AP exams. 94% of my students gained admission to their first choice for college. 92% of my students gained admission to a top 50 college. My goal is to help my students become innovative thinkers and compelling, skilled writers and presenters, so they can maximize their academic and career success. Thus, I provide highly effective, encouraging, personalized tutoring for Middle School, High School (Regents and AP), and College social studies courses. In addition, I guide teens and potential college transfers through the College Admissions process, enabling them to gain admission to optimal college choices. Teens who work with me become more proficient at studying, writing, analysis, critical thinking, argumentation, interviewing, and presentations; soft skills they can use throughout their education and career. I love helping teens to develop the academic and professional tools necessary to maximize their potential and succeed on their own. I have been recognized for relating well to teenagers, for “making history come alive,” and for explaining the backstories that may textbooks falsely assume that students already know. The best evidence of my successful tutoring is that most of my former clients have thrived through the rest of high school and all four years of college with minimal additional tutoring. Please note that I enjoy working with a wide variety of students, especially those struggling in class or with learning disabilities. I strongly believe, and have proven, that all students taking regular and advanced classes can improve significantly, if given the right tools. As someone who overcame auditory dyslexia, I can show you that almost anything is indeed possible! Two of my favorite success stories are young men who could barely read or write when we started together in 10th grade. Both went on to perform well in college!
