About Esther


Bio

I've been tutoring students in math and physics for over a decade. In my time as a tutor, I've come to realize that 90% of the time, tutoring is about asking the right questions. With the right questions, students can find answers on their own, and truly build their problem-solving muscles.

I've been tutoring students in math and physics for over a decade. In my time as a tutor, I've come to realize that 90% of the time, tutoring is about asking the right questions. With the right questions, students can find answers on their own, and truly build their problem-solving muscles.

I started tutoring at Rockland Community College in 2014. At RCC, I tutored students across all math course offerings - from remedial math to linear algebra. Additionally, my students had vastly different background, ranging from adult learners returning to school after years in the workforce, to high school students taking additional classes in community college.

I graduated from MIT in 2019 with a Bachelor's in physics and minor in math, and TA'd 8.02, freshman E&M, for two semesters. I spent a year developing working as a physics curriculum developer, before switching over to tutoring full-time. I specialize in helping students develop clarity and mastery in physics, and excel in preparing students for the AP Physics I, AP Physics C, and Calculus AB and BC exams. Beyond AP courses, I also offer F=ma prep for advanced high school students.
At the college level, I offer tutoring for undergraduates, covering multivariable calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, probability, statistics, and physics I-III. I am also happy to work with students in more advanced subjects, including grad students, but this will depend on exact course details (and may be subject to a higher rate). Finally, I've been working with MCAT students on math/physics for the past 5 years.

I look forward to working with you! Please reach out with any questions you may have - I'm easy to reach, and will quickly be able to determine if I can provide the help you need.

Approved Subjects

Astronomy

Astronomy

I graduated from MIT with a Bachelor's in physics, with a focus on astronomy, and have been published in the Astronomical Journal.
Calculus

Calculus

I've been tutoring calculus (AP calculus AB, BC, and college courses) for over a decade, and specialize in helping students develop a more intuitive understanding of the subject (as opposed to simply applying formulas).
Differential Equations

Differential Equations

I've been tutoring students in differential equations since 2014. Differential equations is a course that varies in specific content from college to college - I've worked with students at Johns Hopkins, MIT, Duke, Rice, Berkeley, SUNY, and more.
MCAT

MCAT

I've been tutoring physics for over a decade, and have been working with students on MCAT math and physics for the past 5 years.
Physics

Physics

I've been tutoring physics for over a decade, primarily to high school students and college freshman. I specialize in tutoring AP physics 1 and C (with over 90% of my students attaining a 5 on their AP exams), as well as calculus-based freshman physics. For two years, I TA'd for 8.02, MIT's second-semester freshman physics course. I have a Bachelor's degree in physics from MIT. I also offer tutoring for more advanced physics courses - inquire for rate details.

Expert Physics Tutor!

Esther quickly got my son on track for his freshman physics final after a bumpy semester. In their first session, she diagnosed weak areas and gave him the tools to analyze questions more completely. A born teacher and very kind, Esther was able to build my son's knowledge base while at the same time building his confidence. Following the final, my son called to say that his professor sent him an email congratulating him on his final exam score, saying that he pulled together the semester wonderfully at the end. Thank you, Esther!

Excellent Physics Tutor - look no further

My son took his AP Physics C class through an online course and he felt like there were so many gaps in his knowledge of the subject area! He struggled to understand the concepts and didn't feel ready for his AP exam! In a few short weeks Esther found his knowledge gaps and helped him get up to speed in his online AP Physics course as well as help him prepare for the AP Exam! We feel very lucky to have found Esther!!

Highly recommended, great tutor

Esther is a wonderful tutor. She helped our daughter so much in geometry in just one lesson. She was incredibly friendly, focused and explained everything so patiently. It can be hard for teenagers to have problems at school. How wonderful when someone like Esther is there and these problems dissolve. We look forward to continuing to work together!

Irina, 1 lesson with Esther

Professional, knowledgeable and experienced.

Esther taught our son physics and our son said she did a much better job than his teacher. She was on time got to work right away. We will use her often throughout the year. Vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv.

Joseph, 3 lessons with Esther

Patient and accommodating

Esther was great with my daughter and was so quick to respond and schedule appointments for tutoring. She was kind, patient, and clear. My daughter enjoyed the session.

Aubrei, 7 lessons with Esther

A tutor with clarity and precision

It was hard for my child to find a good physics tutor because he is fast. When we found Esther, my child said she is the one. We had several sessions already, and they have been quite productive and helpful, thanks Esther!

Ping, 27 lessons with Esther

Patient and knowledgeable tutor

Esther helped me greatly with my college physics E&M class and understanding the material. She has a thorough understanding of the material and was able walk me through all of my questions. Thanks to her help I was able to get an A in the class.

Look no Further

If you need a physics, tutor look no further, Esther is the one that will make all the difference for your child.

John, 22 lessons with Esther

Excellent Tutor!

Esther has made a tremendous difference with my sons ability to understand the higher level concepts of physics. Highly recommend her.

John, 22 lessons with Esther

Intelligent and efficient tutor.

Esther has been a great tutor. She helps me with AP Physics C and AP Calculus BC. She is very efficient and punctual. She is highly intelligent and well-educated, but is good at explaining things on my level. My grades in both classes have improved a lot. Highly recommend!
