#1 Tutor on Wyzant in the Summer of 2015!!!!

Covid-19 and remote classes have negatively impacted student learning and amplified the need for educational support as students who had never struggled before start to fall behind for the first time.
However, any educational problem can be fixed, assuming the basics are mastered. There is hope.

Above the level of hope is competence. I am referring here to the competence of a skilled tutor who has taken on hundreds of students over a fourteen-year period and turned each one of them into a high-performing scholar. When you have the knowledge, certainty, and willingness to accept challenging students and get results, hope is no longer just a byword. It's reality.

I have found that there are very specific reasons why a student would have trouble studying. Knowing these and how to remedy them opens the door to real learning. I consider it vital for all my students to be able to study independently after tutoring. This is an area that is generally neglected by modern education.

I have also found that continued student success depends heavily on parental involvement at the lower levels, while at the upper levels older students respond best when given motivation and study skills that enable them to learn without stress.

With the advent of the ubiquitous internet, students can now access knowledge at the touch of a button. Education in the twenty-first century must equip them with the ability to sift through tons of information and extract usable facts that can lead to successful innovations. Rote learning has to assume a subordinate role to extrapolation, as critical reasoning skills are amplified. My tutoring approach seeks to increase interest and curiosity while continuously challenging the students to think for themselves. This results in an increased ability to assimilate, evaluate and even create knowledge. Most importantly, the students learn how to excel in any academic environment and they easily master new and unfamiliar topics.

Study Skills

I studied Educational Methodology as part of a brand-new system developed and tested on several continents across a wide spectrum of students from different backgrounds and of different ages. The common outcome of this program is that students have a renewed interest in subjects that were previously 'boring' or 'difficult' or 'useless' to them. They begin to learn and study independently. They score way above average on all types of tests. They experience a gain of several reading levels. They begin to modify their own behaviour while acquiring a repertoire of new skills and new habits that will last them a lifetime. In short, study and learning becomes easy, even joyful. I have seen numerous results with these techniques over 17 years and I'm always amazed at the consistency of results.

Homeschool

Algebra 1,

Algebra 1

Algebra 1 can be tough for young students transitioning from middle school math but I have developed simple techniques for solving complex problems so that my students get the same test results as they did in early math classes.
Algebra 2,

Algebra 2

I specialize in teaching advanced and honors Algebra 2 classes. All the complicated topics can be easily understood with my simplified explanations. Trigonometry in particular is susceptible to a rapid introduction that empowers students to solve all types of problems using only 19 tools.
Calculus,

Calculus

Calculus deals with constant change in situations such as motion, growth and decay. I have helped many students truly appreciate the value of calculus in real life so they can become motivated to tackle the material and succeed on tough courses. The classes I cover include high school calculus, Calc AB/BC, all the way up to College Calculus 2.
Geometry,

Geometry

Geometry demands knowledge and application of essential theorems, axioms and postulates. I have helped many students master the basics and learn how to apply the principles of geometry in seemingly dis-related subjects.
Prealgebra,

Prealgebra

Pre-Algebra introduces students to the basics of solving equations by balancing both sides. It also includes other topics that utilize variables. I have helped many students gain the skills and confidence they need to succeed in both pre-algebra and algebra itself.
Precalculus,

Precalculus

Pre-Calculus covers many topics that range from vectors to limits. I have found that students benefit the most from pre-calc classes when they comprehend the underlying concepts of each topic. This can get lost in honors classes due to the speed required, so I help by illuminating the basics and clearly demonstrating the real-life applications of each concept.
SAT Math,

SAT Math

The new SAT Math tends to be much more descriptive than the previous one. It requires that a student break down each question and implement logical steps which can be used to rapidly solve the problems. Precise diagnostic tests, extra practice and proper techniques are the best remedy for poor performance. I have helped many students master the skills they need to do well on this test.

COOP/HSPT

I have helped many students do well on the Cooperative Admissions Program (COOP) test and gain entrance to the Catholic high school of their choice. The High School Placement Test (HSPT) is another common achievement test for those who want to enter high schools of different types. The contents of these tests are similar and I have obtained uniformly excellent results tutoring students in both tests.
ISEE,

ISEE

The ISEE offers many students an opportunity to write their own future by getting into their school of choice. The Independent School Entrance Examination is offered by ERB, the Educational Records Bureau. The ISEE exam covers Verbal (vocabulary), Reading Comprehension, Quantitative Reasoning (ability to think with and use Math in unique situations) and finally it covers basic Mathematics techniques. The test has different levels for different grades: Lower, Middle and Upper. After tutoring many students in the ISEE I have found that the best preparation starts with a solid education in Basics. A reading program that emphases depth and breadth of extensive reading on a daily basis would be the ideal prep. The singular difference between students on the ISEE is simply vocabulary, knowledge of. As for the test itself, I have found that students need 6-12 weeks to prepare for the ISEE proper. Utilizing texts from various test-prep publishers as well as the ERB website itself, I have been able to quickly teach test-taking skills as well as subject content to excellent results.
Praxis,

Praxis

I have tutored many students in the following Praxis topics: Numbers, Quantities, Algebra, Functions, Calculus, Geometry, Probability, Statistics. and Discrete Mathematics. The test itself is not too complicated but it is quite important to understand (not memorize) the formulas and mathematical notation. A well-defined study plan with extensive practice is essential to getting a good score on the test. I have successfully guided many students through all the steps needed to ace this test.

Jerilyn, 1 lesson with Tapi

Very thorough and patient

Tapi takes the time to thoroughly explain what is happening for each step. He is very professional and patient. He responds very quickly for a requested time slot. My daughter asks that I book more time with him. We’ll definitely be setting up more tutoring real soon.

Marian, 4 lessons with Tapi

consistently helpful

Tapi is common reassuring, while helping his students too get a grasp of the concepts, resulting in confidence. Definitely worth the time.

Patrick, 8 lessons with Tapi

Tapi is patient, helpful and effective.

Tapi is patient, helpful and effective in identifying what and how the student needs to improve and accomplishing it. Apparently I need 160 characters, and efficiencies not rewarded, so I hope this gets me to 160 characters.
