Yakov B. - New York Tutor or Private Instructor
Profile of Yakov B.
Part-Time, 6 Years of Experience
I emphasize skills including time and homework management, study and memory retention strategies, and success-oriented self-motivation. I take my work seriously, adhering to an approach of firm, but patient instruction. An academic tutor for six years, I am a graduate student in the field of psychology in education at Columbia University's Teachers College. I recently graduated cum laude from UCLA, with a bachelor of arts in psychology (specializing in child and adolescent development and learning), minors in English and film, television, and digital media and a 3.78 upper-division GPA. I have worked with students ranging from early elementary to late high school age, and have experience accommodating all learning levels, including various special needs. I specialize in teaching test preparation (fourth and eighth grade New York language arts and mathematics tests (ELAS), GED, PSAT, SAT, GRE, etc.), writing composition, reading comprehension, and all levels of mathematics (including elementary, pre-algebra, algebra I and II, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus, and statistics). I am willing to commute to a location that is convenient for you and your family. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or are interested in a free in-person consultation. Thank you for your interest.Related Hobbies and Interests
I especially enjoy engaging my students by exploring diverse learning tools and new ways of making challenging skills fun and attainable. I enjoy photography, logic puzzles, ocean sports, reading, sketch art, chess, and other strategy games.
