Bio

I am a former university lecturer (Physics & Calculus), and high school teacher (Physics, Chemistry, Earth Science, Math), with many years of experience in tutoring students from second grade to university (BMCC, Queens College, Stony Brook). I have tutored students from some of the top high schools in NYC (Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, Cardoza, Bayside High, Hunter High, York College, Townsend Harris, and Brooklyn Technical), preparing them for standardized exams such as the ACT, SAT, SAT II...

I am a former university lecturer (Physics & Calculus), and high school teacher (Physics, Chemistry, Earth Science, Math), with many years of experience in tutoring students from second grade to university (BMCC, Queens College, Stony Brook). I have tutored students from some of the top high schools in NYC (Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, Cardoza, Bayside High, Hunter High, York College, Townsend Harris, and Brooklyn Technical), preparing them for standardized exams such as the ACT, SAT, SAT II subject tests, Regents, AP, and College Finals.

My students have done extremely well with scores such as 4 &5 in AP Physics, and Calculus, 750 - 800 in SAT II Physics, 760 - 800 in SAT II Math, 800 on the SAT math sections, to name a few.

With my easy going approach, I identify problem areas in the student's reasoning, strategies, and content. I then focus on a detailed plan to get the student to overcome the problem areas. This approach has seen an increase in confidence, and significant boost in students scores at school exams, or at standardized exams.

I encourage students to contact me, and find out how else I can assist them in Math (all areas), Physics (all levels), and Chemistry (Regents, SAT II).

For the last three years, I have tutored a brother (presently 5th grade) and his sister (presently 7th grade). The parents love my style of tutoring, and the positive effect I have on their children. Furthermore, I have taught elementary Math to small classes (5-8 students) of grades 4 and 5 at a tutoring academy during summer school. The reviews I received from the students, and the director of the academy of my style of teaching were very favorable.
Elementary Science,

I have worked with students in elementary (grades 2-5) and middle school (grades 6-8), helping them to become proficient in reading, comprehension, science, and math skills. All students showed significant improvement in the subject areas, and went on to do well in the state wide exams. I have even prepared some students for either the SHSAT (grade 7) or the Hunter High School (grade 6) entrance exam.

Math

ACT Math,

ACT Math

The ACT Math section consists of 60 problems which are to be completed in 60 minutes. It includes Prealgebra, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry and Logarithm. During the last three years, I tutored a number of students in ACT Math, and the results were impressive - students scores improved significantly. For instance, a repeat student improved from a 5 to an 8 while another improved from a 7 to a 9 in Math. This was due to the different style of tutoring for each student, where I identified individual weaknesses, and provided guidance and strategies on how to overcome such weaknesses. The results in the student's ability to minimize errors, thereby leading to an improvement in scores.

During my undergraduate years, I took Math courses that involved finding the solutions to differential equations of the linear and non linear type. I obtained A's in these courses. In addition, I have tutored a student from Manhattan College throughout a whole semester, on solving first and second order differential equations of the homogeneous, and non homogeneous types. He ended with an A average for the course. I have tutored other college students (Queens College, BMCC, Stony Brook) in non- Calculus and Calculus based physics. In the latter, I assisted students in finding solutions to problems involving first and second order differential equations from Mechanics, Gravity, EM Theory (Maxwell's Equations), and LCR circuits. In every case, each student finished his/ her course with either an A or B average.

Reading

Science

ACT Science,

ACT Science

The ACT Science does not require a student to have any prior knowledge of any Science subject. However, students must be able to comprehend passages, and interpret or infer information from graphs and tables. Nevertheless, the most important factor for a student to do well is probably time management - a student has only 35 minutes to answer 40 science questions. To get the student to do well in this section, my tutoring techniques focus on speed reading, identifying keywords, and how to correctly interpret the information that is given.

Excellent Tutor

Hilton was patient and a well educated tutor to my younger sibling who learned a lot from the two hours they spent going over physics. For that I’m very grateful and would like for him to continue his excellent tutoring services.

Mike, 3 lessons with Hilton

Knowledgeable & Patient Tutor

My daughter was very happy with the session. Hilton was very thorough and taught slowly enough for her to understand, but not too slowly. We were grateful to get him on rather short notice, too, and will be asking him back.

Lori, 2 lessons with Hilton

Excellent tutor!!

Initially my ninth grade daughter was not happy that she had to sit with a tutor on her day off, however she was smiling after her two hour session because Hilton did such an excellent job explaining the material. She felt very confident and is prepared.
