I specialize in the following subjects: Physics (including AP Physics 1 & AP Physics C), Calculus (AB & BC), Precalculus, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry.

What I love most about tutoring is helping students develop not only their skills, but also the confidence to take on their coursework. I emphasize visualization, conceptual understanding, and a positive problem-solving mentality. I am extremely patient, and I approach learning with a sense of humor, to help ease any anxiety students may have.

Please contact me with any questions; I look forward to working with you!

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have a master's degree in math education from NYU Steinhardt, and have tutored math for over 15 years. My experience teaching algebra 1 covers both students taking it as middle/high school class (including those preparing for the NYS Regents), as well as those preparing for the SAT/ACT. It it absolutely vital for students to properly learn the skills taught in Algebra 1; they are the foundation for the math that students will use in their future high school and college courses, in both math and science.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have a master's degree in math education from NYU Steinhardt, and have tutored math for over 15 years. My experience teaching algebra 2 covers both students taking it as a high school class (including those preparing for the NYS Regents), as well as those preparing for the SAT/ACT.
Calculus

Calculus

I have a master's degree in math education from NYU Steinhardt, and have tutored math for over 15 years. I have taught calculus to students at the high school level preparing for AP exams, as well as those taking calculus in college.
Geometry

Geometry

I have a master's degree in math education from NYU Steinhardt, and have tutored math for over 15 years. My experience teaching geometry covers both students taking it as a high school class (including those preparing for the NYS Regents), as well as those preparing for the SAT/ACT.
Physics

Physics

I have a bachelor's degree in physics from Columbia University, and have tutored physics for over 15 years. I have worked with students at the high school level, including those preparing for the AP and NYS Regents, as well as those at the college level.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I have a master's degree in math education from NYU Steinhardt, and have tutored math for over 15 years. My experience working with students preparing for AP Calculus has given me insight into the key concepts and skills that students need to develop during their precalculus class.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I have a master's degree in math education from NYU Steinhardt, and have tutored math for over 15 years, including 6 years as an SAT math class instructor at a tutoring center. Having worked with students that vary widely in their math skills and background, I can accommodate the individual needs of my students, whether they're taking it for the first time or trying to hit that perfect score.

Excellent Tutor!

Ricky started tutoring physics to our 11th grader in April and her grades have substantially increased! We like him so much that he is now tutoring her in algebra 2 as well. We tried a few other tutors and our daughter just didn’t “click” with them, but she immediately took to Ricky’s patient, professional, positive and encouraging approach. It is very clear that he has extensive knowledge in physics and math and he explains each topic so she understands and makes sure she gets it before moving on. He also provides us with high-quality assessment summaries after every session of the topics they went over, along with insights into what she understands and what she should work on. The only regret we have is not finding Ricky in September! Highly recommend!

great physics tutor

Endlessly grateful for all the time he spent working with me and answering my questions. I wouldn’t have made it through physics 1 and 2 without him. He is a great tutor and really understands how to explain things in a way that helps instead of confusing you more.

Knowledgable and Patient Tutor

Ricky helped my 12th-grade son prepare for his AP Physics quiz. He was ready to assist right away. I'm so relieved that we don't need to look for another tutor. My son is very satisfied with Ricky's teaching, and his grade improved after just one lesson. Thank you, Ricky!

Tried several, but Ricky was the best

Ricky helped my daughter study for honors physics. He had a very practical approach, was knowledgeable about the course and regents requirements, and was able to recommend materials for independent study (which is better than what her actual teacher provided).

Great Instructor!

My son is thus far performing well in Calculus with the assistance of Ricky. Very helpful and patient. Highly recommend.
