Hello! My name is Patricia Kuster. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Stony Brook University in 2022 with a BS in Sociology and Psychology and a minor in Biology. At Stony Brook, I worked as a Precalculus, Calculus I and Calculus II tutor for three years for the university’s Educational Opportunity Program. I also served as a teaching assistant in organic chemistry, precalculus, and calculus courses. 

For the last two years, I have worked as a 6th/8th grade classroom math teacher at a public charter school in Newark. While working as a classroom teacher, I’ve engaged in lesson planning, lesson differentiation, and improved my communication with middle-school students. 

I have also been a tutor with Big Sib Tutors since September of 2020. During my time here, I have tutored students in countless subjects, ranging from second grade math to regents physics. I have especially enjoyed working with high-schoolers on math/science regents and SAT prep, but I’m open to working with students of any age.
