christina's Professional Information

I specialize in all levels of mathematics and science. Not only do I focus on mastery of the material, I work with students to develop effective study habits. Whether you're looking to do well on a quiz, a test, a NYS Regents Exam, an AP Exam, or the SATs, I would be glad to help!

There are two key components to succeeding academically. The first component is, needless to say, gaining an understanding of the material. However, this isn't the complete picture. I've met many students that really felt like they knew the subject, yet their grades weren't reflecting this. That is why I must emphasize the importance of the second component - anticipating the way in which your understanding will be tested. Every teacher has their own teaching (and thus, testing) style. Yet the underlying concepts of a given subject are all the same. So my mission is two-fold:

- To help students gain a strong understanding of the underlying concepts
- To teach students how to approach any type of question and boil it down to its basic concept

When a student is able to master the material and recognize its appearance on an exam, he/she is sure to succeed.

My tutoring style involves much more than just recapping class notes and going over homeworks. I create additional problems, teach multiple techniques to solving a single problem, and work with the student to develop effective study habits. Every student is unique. Thus, I believe tutoring must cater to each individual student in order to reach them most effectively.

Learning and success involve the development of both technical and non-technical skills. The gratification of seeing a student do well on the exam we prepared for is nothing compared to the gratification of seeing that student find his/her passion and go off to a great school to pursue it. Getting good grades will of course help, but I encourage students to develop communication skills, organizational skills, and time management. I want students to do well not just on one exam but in life.

My passion for tutoring stems from my passion for learning. I strongly believe the best application of knowledge is the sharing of knowledge. There's a certain fulfillment one gets out of helping someone else, especially someone young. Tutors, teachers, coaches, etc. - whether they realize it or not, they all play the role of mentors as well. A good mentor can be a strong, positive influence on someone's childhood, helping to shape their future.
