Hello,
I am a Math tutor for Grades 1-8, Pre-algebra, Algebra I, II and Trigonometry and SAT math section in New York, NY. I give both online courses and in-home tutoring.

I hold a Ph.D. in Quantitative political economy from NYU (GPA: 4.0/4.0) and an MA from math intensive Stanford University Economics as a Fulbright Fellow.

My test scores, for both Math and Verbal, are in top 2-3% for GRE and top for TOEFL, inclusive of essay writing. I have also published in the prominent political economy journal, Public Choice.

I have 7 years of teaching experience for college students (Stanford. NYU) and 4 years of tutoring experience for K12 tutoring.

In addition, socially, I have good relations with students as my NYU evaluations would attest to. I am warm and approachable towards students but demanding in terms of their performance. I also worked successfully with several elementary school students in NYC.

Earlier, I held various roles in US universities, graduate research/teaching assistant, (NYU/Stanford), post-doctoral fellow (Princeton), and lecturer abroad in international finance (IBEI, Barcelona) and worked for 2 years as a college calculus lecturer in my native country, (Izmir, Turkey).

I hold legal permanent residence in NY, USA. I had also successfully passed through extensive background checks and immunization requirements as a voluntary Algebra 1 Teacher at BCTR- Baltimore Teaching Residency in Summer 2017.

I love mathematics and love even more studying mathematics with students. I am hard-working, very detail oriented and perseverant. I look forward to helping you in realizing your academic goals!

Every student learns math in different ways and different speeds. I make sure to structure my classes according to the needs and capabilities of the student. What I now for sure is that "practice makes perfect" works truly in my math classes. I present material with solved examples, but make sure in any tutoring class the student solves similar problems on her/his own also. I end classes with HW for the student to think further and work on for our next class. Read less
