NY Regents Preparation.
Comprehensive NY Regents tutoring in science and mathematics with Vinai — one-on-one instruction designed to move students from passing to mastery.
Section 01 · Overview
Why Regents scores matter.
The Regents are end-of-course exams that double as graduation requirements. The diploma pathway — and the mastery designation — depend on which Regents are taken and at what scaled score.
Graduation Requirements
Students must pass at least one mathematics Regents and one science Regents (plus English and Social Studies) to earn a NY Regents Diploma.
Advanced Regents Diploma
Requires three mathematics Regents (Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2) and two science Regents — one life science and one physical science — all at scaled 65 or above.
Mastery Designation
A scaled score of 85 or above on each of the three math Regents (or each of the science Regents) earns mastery designation in that area.
College Readiness
Strong Regents scores signal college readiness to NY public and private universities and feed directly into SAT, ACT, and AP performance.

Section 03 · Method
Vinai's six-step Regents process.
1. Diagnostic Assessment
A full-length released Regents establishes the student's true starting point.
2. Identify Strengths & Weaknesses
Results are mapped to specific Common Core domains, not just overall scores.
3. Build Conceptual Foundations
Underlying content is rebuilt where needed so strategies stand on solid ground.
4. Practice Regents-Style Questions
Curated official questions worked through on the digital whiteboard.
5. Strategy & Pacing
Part-by-part time budgets and rubric-aware writing for Parts II–IV (and C, D for science).
6. Full-Length Practice & Confidence
Repeated timed exams under exam-day conditions, with targeted review between each.
