Steven Wendel

Math Tutor

  • Steven has been working professionally as a tutor for about 10 years. He largely focuses on test prep (SAT, SHSAT, APs, GRE, LSAT), but teaches a variety of classes that span primary school up to graduate school.

    While Steven knows test prep extremely well (he attained perfect scores on both SAT and GRE Math), his major impact comes from the relationships he builds with his students. He doesn’t just teach the subject matter, he teaches students to take the reins on their own academic journey and pursue the future they know they can achieve.

  • Basic Physics, Basic Math (Alg 1, 1, SAT, ACT)

  • Steven is a lifelong learner. He graduated from Hunter College with Bachelors Degrees in Math, Physics, and Religion, and has graduate degrees in both Pure Mathematics and Cognitive Neuroscience from the CUNY Graduate Center. Steven formerly lectured mathematics Hunter College, and is currently involved in Computational Neuroscience research at the Grad Center, where he models neural circuits involved in attention, learning, and memory.

“I build relationships with students, and make sure they grow intellectually… It's a long and intense process, but a fun process - promise!”

Liz Black

English Tutor

  • From an early age, I was immersed in the humanities due to my unique experience with learning languages, and I assumed I would remain in English, philosophy, and social studies for life, even into my first year of college. Despite my success in those areas, my logical mind, strong deductive reasoning, problem-solving skills, and fast learning ability were better suited for the sciences. About a year ago, I discovered my true passion when I tried coding for the first time, quickly teaching myself Python, JavaScript, Django, Java, and HTML/CSS, and now working to master new frameworks and libraries. While my coding experience on paper is still growing, I know I’m a natural at it and will deliver any project or opportunity perfectly, no matter how much self-study it takes.

  •  I tutor English Language Arts, Writing, Reading Comprehension, and SAT English.

  • Computer science and philosophy student at Pace University

“Any project, opportunity, or work I'm offered, I will do perfectly, no matter how much more self-studying it takes.”

Sardar Singh

Math/English/Science Tutor

  • As a consequence of my expertise in philosophy and mathematics, I'm able to tutor students in a myriad of subjects including various subjects in the natural and social sciences, the humanities, and some arts. I attribute such breadth to my ability to effectively read different kinds of texts - from texts that are laden with specialized language to literary texts that utilize upon rarefied vocabulary words and phrases - I can comprehend them all. I particularly wish to pass on this ability to students.

  • English; Lit; Philosophy; Math; Physics; Econometrics; Economics; Stat; SAT/ACT/GRE both side.

  • I did undergraduate work in economics, philosophy, and mathematics at Hunter College. I am currently working on a graduate degree in applied mathematics from the same institution. Over and above the coursework of Hunter College, I've also participated in graduate research seminars in nineteenth century philosophy and effective altruism at New York University.

“I can’t help but get all fired up when I’m talking about things - but students seem to really enjoy that!”
