Garden City, NY SAT Tutors

To do well in SAT Math is by knowing all types of math inside out with the tricks in cooling problems.

I have taught 30+ students in SAT Math (as well as English/Reading/Writing, and ACT students)

Using my broad teaching expertise and coursework in mathematics (algebra, geometry, trigonometry) I have helped prospective university students (juniors, seniors and even sophomores) get the scores they need to gain acceptance to their top school choices.

Let me show you how successful you or your child can be!

We will focus on understanding what areas are most challenging, by simplifying the question, and communicating the nest way for the particular student to learn the topic. I work with the student to develop a strategy and approach that works for them.

I have taught SAT tutoring for 3 years as a member of two separate companies as well through my own private service. I have helped students improve their scores by a minimum of 100 points. I help my students view the test differently, and teach them ways to detect and outsmart the tricks!

I specialize in helping students to maximize their test scores with their current knowledge base, while helping them to remember key skills that may have been forgotten or not covered deeply enough. My preparation is based on a test taking strategy that I call the "Four Orbits." This strategy focuses on allowing students to maximize the number of correct answers in the limited amount of time that is given to them, while making the best educated guesses in situations where guessing is required.

I've been teaching SAT preparation for 10 years and my students have increased their SAT scores over 500 points from their initial scores.

I create a personalized daily syllabus that caters to each student's individual strengths and weakness, and check in with my students daily to make sure that they are completing their homework assignments and have no questions.

My program is rigorous and demanding, but leads to significantly higher scores very quickly. I do not give my students a chance to slack off or to stop doing their homework assignments because students are required to enter when they have completed their homework assignments, their scores, and their vocabulary words daily through a virtual tracking system that I have created.

I provide a book list including Collegeboard and Kaplan books, though can work with whatever books students already have. I incorporate technology to keep students engaged.

I can't wait to begin!

My name is Mena. I have a strong background in math with a degree in Actuarial science and have been tutoring the SAT, ACT, Algebra 1&2, and Geometry for over four years. I have extensive knowledge of the testing strategies needed to make the exam fun and easy. I work with students to find areas that need strengthening then work patiently with them to hone their skills. Successful test preparation is largely about demystifying the test through time spent learning the correct approach which I have years of experience doing, with that confidence students can achieve any score they set their minds to.

I have taught SAT for the past 18 years, both in large classroom settings and for private lessons. I have helped students increase their overall SAT scores by 200-400 points.

First, I carefully diagnose the student's strengths and weaknesses by analyzing previous standardized test scores or making the student take an initial diagnostic test.

Then, I create a customized syllabus for each and every student based on what he/she most needs to improve the most in the shortest amount of time. I use only the best published materials and some of my own custom-made booklets.

As the lessons progress, I continually monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments until the student reaches his/her goal and no longer needs my services.
