I took Algebra 1 in middle school and Algebra 2 sophomore year of high school and the skills learned in both of those classes have never stopped being applicable as I've advanced through trigonometry,... precalculus, and advanced placements calculus AB. Even now, as a university student in Calculus 1, my professor is dedicating several lectures to reviewing these critical skills. Other than science, Math has always been one of my best subjects. I've maintained test scores coming out on top of my class in all math classes I've been in since all the way back in middle school, and I've tutored in grade-level math throughout the entirety of my high school career, specifically focusing on the skillsets required to excel in Algebra 1 and 2. Math can be a very tricky, confusing, and overall painful subject for a lot of students. However, when you have the right language and references available to you, soon enough Algebra 1 and 2 will become like second nature, allowing you to excel and outperform in every future math class. read more

Hi! I'm Zhaklene, but most people call me Zhaka. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, went to high school in Manhattan, and now I'm pursuing my Biochem degree at Binghamton University. I've ... been tutoring in Biology and Math for my entire high school career, so I'm going on 5 years of tutoring now! I love to tutor in subjects I'm both passionate about and articulate within, so while I am a language geek, I'm not sure if you'll ever see me breaking down proper punctuation. On the topic of language, my interest in it does define my tutoring philosophy even for STEM subjects. I believe that anyone can master any subject as long as they have access to the correct language, imagery, and resources that they can personally connect with. A lot of my methodology involves a lot of talking, not just from me as the tutor, but mainly on part of the student. At the end of the day, my only job is to make sure that we both, as tutor and student, can understand a topic on the same terms, and that you can leave sessions with confidence in your knowledge.read more
