Comprehensive Ivy League Educated Academic Coach for Math, Writing, and College Admissions

Hi, I'm Mike! I'm both an experienced teacher and an Ivy League-educated scholar with a deep background in mathematics, science, and the humanities.

I offer a premium tutoring experience for my students. I work with several elite tutoring agencies but am able to offer my services at a cheaper rate through Wyzant.

This isn't just homework help--I'll help define your student's goals and learning preferences, and develop a unique approach to get them where they want to be.

For over eight years I have been a trusted guide to many students as they navigate the academic world. I particularly love helping students excel in pre-algebra, Algebra I, geometry, trigonometry, essay writing, executive functioning, and standardized tests like the SAT.

My goal is always to improve confidence, sharpen critical thinking and problem-solving techniques, and empower my students to take on academic challenges. As a teacher, I am enthusiastic, engaging, and responsive to the individual needs and learning styles of my students.

A little about my background. I'm a life-long lover of learning. I studied physics and philosophy of science and mathematics at Columbia University, where I was awarded the David H. Siff Prize in the Philosophy of Science. I also hold a Master's degree in Architecture from Columbia University. I've conducted scientific research with several teams including groups at the Columbia Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics, the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. I also have a background in writing and editing. I wrote for The New York Observer and have worked as a freelance editor for academic manuscripts and science papers.

I'm looking forward to learning together!

Salah Eddine
Math tutoring for high school students
As a teaching professional, I have always enjoyed sharing my knowledge. My goal is to provide quality education. I am aware that some topics may seem complex, but often this is simply the result of an inadequate explanation by the teacher. With me, you will discover a real interest in the material! We strive together to achieve academic excellence, overcoming the shortcomings and difficulties encountered by your child. Studies will become a pleasant experience for him. In addition to the courses, I can also help with school orientation, identifying their preferences and highlighting the advantages and benefits of a fulfilling educational ambition. The sessions generally take place according to the following stages: 1️⃣ The first sessions are devoted to the assessment of the student's level in order to detect existing gaps. 2️⃣ Next, we create a personalized plan to address these gaps, including the number of hours of work needed, specific areas to focus on, and appropriate training and development exercises. 3️⃣ We stay in constant contact with the student's class teacher, to keep up to date with the latest requirements and ensure a consistent approach. 4️⃣ Subsequently, I provide exams similar to those that are likely to be asked in class, to prepare the student effectively. 5️⃣ Upon request, I write a regular report, usually monthly, to keep parents informed of their child's progress throughout their course. I adapt my methodology according to the specific needs of each student, thus offering them a personalized and adapted work approach. In addition, I offer crash courses for students preparing for the start of the school year, allowing them to start the year well prepared, with a solid lead on the school curriculum. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to help you.
