Skilled, Patient, and Effective Math & Science Tutor
I love teaching and helping students of all ages learn and be successful!
I use a student-centered approach and view students as professional clients. Students learn best in an environment where they feel comfortable asking questions and knowing the tutor will provide clarity using alternate explanations. I am well versed at differentiating instruction in order to meet the needs of all learners. I effectively employ a wide range of strategies such that my tutoring is customized for each …
Testimonials
Bill M. from Albany, NY Steve has worked patiently with my son teaching honors physics and algebra/trig. His style is relaxed and demonstrates a broad base of knowledge.
Kate H. from Ballston Lake, NY Steve is a very effective tutor and has excellent communication skills. Steve is everything you want a tutor to be: patient, knowledgeable, and committed to helping you learn. He works at my pace and adapts to my academic needs (college math and science). He checks for understanding and has my learning as his goal. He is always on time and reliable. A 5 star teacher who I highly recommend.
Bob F. from Albany, NY After using several calculus tutors we found Steve. He knows the subject matter and teaches it very well. Thanks, Steve!
Tammy I. from Rensselaer, NY After years of my son taking an extra math class in school, he learned more in an hour of tutor lessons from Steven. He was patient yet gave him little tricks to help with the math lessons. I know it's easier to be taught one on one, but the fact my son had a male for the first time teaching him, I believe made a huge difference. 6th grade was a big transformation and I am hoping 7th goes a bit smoother! I liked Steven's readiness to sit right down and get to work when he arrived. My son was comfortable and felt the connection right away. When I asked him what he thought after Steven left, he replied, "I learned things I never knew before!" That meant a lot to him and I and we look forward to our next visit with Steven.
Kerry B. from Schenectady, NY Steven tutors my daughter in Alg 2/Trig. He explains things in a way that makes the concept easier to understand. She has become more confident and looks forward to her next session. Steven is a very patient, kind, encouraging person and my daughter is very comfortable with him. He makes math less stressful for her. I am very happy we found Steven!
Dave C. from East Nassau, NY 7/25/14 Steven was able to size up the individual academic needs of both my daughters and quickly devise strategies for achieving realistic goals. My older daughter told me afterwards that he was able to make understandable some key concepts that had been presented in her math class in a confusing way. He keeps a clear focus on the material and challenges the student at an appropriate level while remaining positive and low key. We were happy with how much he was able to accomplish. 9/8/14 Steve continues to provide excellent tutoring. My eldest daughter has now left for college and reports 'no problems!' in her calculus class. I'm sure Steve's work with her during the summer played an important role in her current comfort level. My younger daughter has started freshman year math at her new high school, and so far she is doing fine. We will continue to have Steve work with her to make sure she stays on track.
Dave K. from Averill Park, NY Steve has done an excellent job as a math tutor for my son. My son's math grades are greatly improved and he now enjoys his math class. Steve is patient and thorough, he knows what is needed to succeed in math. I would highly recommend him.
