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 two years, I worked as a 6th/8th grade classroom math teacher at a public charter school in Newark, NJ. 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.
