About Steven

Bio

I have taught and tutored at the high school and college level in mathematics, history, and literature (particularly Shakespeare and Homer) for 25+ years. My teaching has been profiled in the New York Times. I am happy to offer a free consultation with student or parent to gauge how well we think an engagement would work.

I enjoy an ability to connect with students and understand and help them overcome the personal impediments to their success

Law

Law

I recently retired from a large law firm after many years of private practice. I am a Wyzant tutor certified in Law and can help you with college or law school courses (or test prep) in this subject. I have always been passionate about helping young people achieve proficiency. A younger lawyer whom I mentored in securities law, in particular, went on to become one of the most well-respected securities attorneys in Asia with an international law firm in Hong Komg. Although new to Wyzant, I have 25+ years of teaching and tutoring experience. My teaching has been profiled in the New York Times.

Classics

An expert in Greek mythology, I have taught courses in the Iliad and the Odyssey in translation. (One of these courses was featured in an article in the New York Times). I am also familiar with Ovid and the Greek playwrights.
World History,

World History

As a Wyzant tutor certified in history, I am passionate about the subject—not just names and dates, but trends, causes, consequences, etc. In my experience, this perspective resonates with the students I help because they can begin to understand the motivations of historical figures rather than just memorizing what otherwise may seem like dry facts. I have an excellent way of relating to students that help them get to that “aha” moment. I am recently retired and, although new to Wyzant, I have 25+ years of teaching and tutoring experience. My teaching has been profiled in the New York Times.

APUSH

Went over some content on reconstruction and another past content. We also went over the civil war and Lincoln’s role. We went over the dred scott case and how he wanted to be citizens.

Addie, 4 lessons with Steven

Excellent and highly recommended tutor

My son recently worked with Steve in preparation for the AP World History exam. Steve is a wonderful and caring tutor with an outstanding and deep knowledge of the subject matter and was both engaging and thorough. Steve boosted my son's sense of confidence and prepared him well for the rigors of the exam. We are continuing with Steve for Algebra II and beyond as he has really distinguished himself as a caring and trusted tutor.

Norma, 8 lessons with Steven

Knowledgable and Patient Tutor for Law (Commercial/Corporate)

Steve is very patient with me. Steve goes through my law class materials with me and explains everything and is happy to answer questions and does not get frustrated. In addition, Steve is very knowledgeable in commercial/corporate law and finance and explains the concepts very well until I (the student) understand what is going on. Thank you very much, Steve, I am happy I found you and will continue having sessions.

Mah, 17 lessons with Steven

Effective, patient tutor

Steve is patient and encouraging. He knows the material well. My son feels more confident and has been doing much better in his pre-calculus class. I'm happy with the outcome so far. He's also been flexible with scheduling.

Lisa, 17 lessons with Steven

Great Experience

Steven K was punctual, kind and very patient. He explained key concepts to my daughter. She felt good after her first session. We look forward to what he has in store for her prep for the SAT math.
