Providing individualized tutoring for Math A, Math B, Advanced Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus and for the ACT and for the SAT Math and the SAT Subject Test (Level 1 or 2).

Why Individual Tutoring?

With individualized tutoring we have the time we don’t have in the classroom to understand how the student is perceiving the math problems. That information enables us to help the student change perspectives, develop a greater understanding of the principles involved, and feel more successful.

This is especially true of the SAT. To perform at their highest level, each student should have guided experience with the test, an understanding of the different problem-solving methods required, and an individualized strategy based on their strengths and weaknesses, their test-taking speed, and their individual goals for scores.

I have a private office in my home one block north of Stony Brook's Loew's Cinema. I find this a better place to tutor because there are fewer distractions and I have all the math resources within easy reach.
