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 also tutor law students in legal writing as well as substantive law school coursework. I am happy to offer a free consultation with any student or parent to gauge how well we all think an engagement would work.

I enjoy an ability to connect with students and understand and help...

Approved Subjects

Calculus

Calculus

I am a Wyzant tutor certified in all fields of mathematics. I had perfect scores on all the math standardized tests in high school and college and helped pay my way through university by tutoring calculus at Yale. Unlike history or literature, math is a cumulative subject so it’s critical to keep up with lessons because knowledge gaps will create blind spots with higher level problems and courses. I have an excellent way of relating to students that helps 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.
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.

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.

I practiced law for 50+ years and mentored many young lawyers. I have tutored legal subjects and legal writing for a decade.

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.

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.
