Hello Math-studiers, If you need help with the math you need to know for the standardized admissions tests like the GRE, GMAT, and SAT, or for your kids' or your math, algebra, geometry and statistics courses, I can help you understand what you need to... I can also help your child prepare for SSATs and HSATs, to get into our increasingly competitive good public schools--preparing well for the test is a lot cheaper than private school tuition, but you don't need me to tell you that ;) I'll give you a little description of how math works and I approach teaching it--the most important thing is understanding what everything means and how you can connect information you're given through a series of steps to get the answer you're looking for. Math's 100% logical, and what it really primarily is is thinking--you need to know how to use the basic math tools involved, but once you have those down, math is fundamentally about thinking and understanding what you're doing and why. This takes practice of course, but I've never seen a student who can't improve on it, precisely because it is so logical... So, more than tricks or techniques, what standardized tests, and math in general, really are are tests of your thinking process--once your math skills are up to speed, what these tests really measure is your ability to think and reason logically. Because the test-makers can change around the info you're given and what the question asks for in so many slightly different ways, its very difficult to apply one size fits all approaches, much as people might like to find the "easy way" or "shortcuts" Life does seem to be that way, doesn't it? ;) Math's somewhat of a microcosm for life in that way :) Of course as you get better at problems you will be able to do them more quickly and efficiently, and maybe even do some parts in your head once you have enough familiarity with them, but that only comes because you're understanding and problem solving skills are imporving. When you understand what you're doing and why, you do you can apply that to any problem on the test, even if the details are slightly different than you've seen before. Also, the questions fall into patterns which you can practice and get familiar with, and only vary slightly within the general question archetypes. AS for price, I can tutor you individually for about the same hourly rate as you'd pay for a test-prep company group session, and a lot less than you'd pay at a tutoring agency. And if you're serious about preparing for your test or course, I can offer you a free first hour to show you how I'd approach the test and subject with you, so you can see whether my lessons would be helpful for you, and how they compare with those at a tutoring company. Btw, alot of the price at the big tutoring agencies goes into overhead and profits, which is why an independent tutor can offer you personalized quality instruction as opposed to a group class, for a much lower price. Math and the techniques for how to effectively approach the test are the same everywhere, so the thing you need is for someone to clearly explain those things so you understand them, not fancy graphics or marketing labels. Anyway, its up to you of course what seems most useful and worthwhile :) If you are interested, you can also e-mail me what you're preparing for and an example of what you want to go over, and I can show you how I'd approach it so you can see if it helps you understand the material better... I have a BA from Tufts in economics and got an 800 on the SAT math section and several diagnostic tests for the GRE and GMAT that I've taken for the test-prep classes I taught; I've taught test-prep classes at Baruch college for Cambridge Educational Services, and tutored algebra and geometry at Harlem Village Academy, one of the top charter schools in the city, as well as tutoring many private students for the math portions of the standardized tests, and K-12 and college math courses. My number's 917-586-2059 if you'd like to call, or you can e-mail me at benjy35@gmail.com with any questions or material you'd like to go over, or for references or my CV. And please have a look at my website at http://sites.google.com/site/bensmathtutoring/ for more info. Hope we can start working toward your higher score and better understanding of math soon ;-) Thanks for reading, and best of luck, Ben

Professional Math and Science Tutoring I 100% GUARANTEE MY SERVICES! (Call For Details) Call 8am-10pm, 7 days a week (888) 311-8271 I am a professional math and science tutor who has helped hundreds of students. Many of my students have achieved success beyond what they ever thought possible. Numerous students have gone from failing, to getting A's on tests, in as little as two sessions. The majority of my students from the 2008-2009 school year achieved A's in their math and science courses. My love and passion for tutoring has grown into a nationally recognized tutoring company in which I have further perfected my methods and helped pass them on to others. My tutoring style is aggressive; I am constantly analyzing what a student does and doesn't understand, using my mastery of the material to devise questions that facilitate understanding in weak areas. I am a tutor that truly has a passion for the art of teaching. Many of my students have said that two hours with me is better than a whole week in class. I am available for travel to student's homes or a preferred location. Subjects that I tutor are listed below: Math: Elementary Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Geometry, Trigonometry, Algebra II, College Algebra, Math Analysis, Pre-Calculus, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, College Calculus (Single Variable), College Calculus (Multi Variable), Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, Statistics, AP Statistics, College Statistics. Science: Elementary Science, Biology, AP Biology, Anatomy Physiology, Chemistry, AP Chemistry, College Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physical Chemistry, AP Physics B, AP Physics C, Physics: Mechanics, Physics: Electricity and Magnetism, Physics: Optics, Physics: Relativity, Physics: Quantum Mechanics, Thermodynamics. Standardized Tests: ISEE, PSAT, SAT I, SAT II, ACT, GRE, GMAT, MCAT, DAT, PCAT, CBEST Cheers, Adam (888) 311-8271 TESTIMONIALS "I found out about Adam because my little sister was using him as a geometry tutor. When I began struggling in AP Calculus my mom suggested I use Adam. I had no idea it was possible to tutor math all the way from geometry to calculus but in my first session with Adam I officially decided that he was not only the best tutor I had ever had but also the smartest person I had ever met. Every single question I asked him he knew the answer to and every single problem I showed him he could solve. Since I began using Adam my test scores have gone up significantly. He was so helpful that I also recommended him to my best friend who has also seen a significant increase in her test results. Adam has an extreme knowledge of all levels of math and is genuinely interested in helping everyone who he tutors not only improve their grades but also truly understand the material. I would highly recommend Adam to anyone who needs help with any level of math." Alex Duhl, AP Calculus Student at Brentwood H.S. "Adam is a phenomenal tutor. He is one of the few people who has the natural gift of teaching. He is intelligent, clear and engaging. He not only inspires me to learn, but he makes each session enjoyable and exciting. If asked, I would strongly suggest that he pursue a career in education. But what is most impressive is that Adam took me from a person who had not opened a math book in almost eight years to someone who was so successful on the placement exam that I have placed into the highest math level offered. I have not only reached my goals, I have surpassed them. And this is all thanks to Adam." Rebecca Hersh-Boyle, Pre-Med Student "Adam is truly a miracle worker. My daughter is a sophomore in a private school with a very rigorous curriculum. She has always struggled in math and had anxiety every time she had a test. After the first quarter this year I received a letter from her teacher that she was failing math. I was very fortunate to find Adam and after speaking with him on the phone I could tell he had a real concern for teaching students such as my daughter. He emphasized his passion for tutoring math and that he thought math was so much fun. My daughter was having her final exam in Algebra 2 the following day and worked with Adam for two hours. When he left he assured me that my daughter would get an A on the exam. Of course, I was very skeptical, especially having had other tutors work with her in the past and never receiving the desired results. That night I could see that she was feeling more confident and sure enough she came home the following day so excited that she did get an A on the test. Adam knows how to connect with students. He has the ability to turn something that my daughter thought was impossible into making her a success. Words cannot express my appreciation to him for not only teaching her in a way she could understand, but also giving her the tools she needed to continue to succeed. He really cared about her and even called the following day to speak to her. I honestly don't know how he accomplished so much with my daughter in so little time except that he has a very special gift." Wendy Wyatt, Mother of Viewpoint H.S. Algebra II Student "I hired Adam to perform a nearly impossible task: to teach math to my son, then in college, who had not completed a math class since the seventh grade due to severe illness. Starting in August, Adam had to bring my son to a point where he could test into his grade level (then a sophomore in college) which would allow him to take and succeed in the required math classes to qualify for transfer to a major four-year university in California: all in 6 months. My son did test well enough to take both Pre-Calculus and Statistics in the Spring semester and I am proud to say that with Adam's continued help he earned a B and an A in those classes. I cannot recommend Adam highly enough." Phil Ames, Father of University of Southern California College Placement Exam Applicant

I have been tutoring all levels of math, from elementary school through college, for over ten years. I offer a free first session, so that you can see whether my tutoring style works for you. So far, all of the students that have had a free session have become regular students of mine and improved their grades. I grew up on the Upper West Side, and attended Manhattan Day School and then Ramaz for high school. I then majored in Math in college, with a second major in Philosophy. I recently moved back here from Florida, and live on 69th and Broadway. We can meet at my place, at 66th and Central Park West, or at your place. I also sometimes meet students at a library or at Reebok Sports Club on 67th and Columbus. I look forward to hearing from you! Naomi Patino
