Award-Winning ACT Tutors in East Orange, NJ

...inclusion classroom, I have been trained to teach students with varying abilities and learning styles. My experience as a teacher has equipped me with multiple strategies and techniques for differentiating material and incorporating scaffolding systems to aid students in accessing the material from multiple entry points. I have the keen ability to meet students at their current academic levels and aid them through specific and strategic tutoring tactics to increased levels of proficiency in mathematics.

...surprising that my favorite subjects to tutor are Physics and Math! I enjoy helping my clients increase their confidence as they improve their skills. I always make an effort to find applications that are interesting and relevant; I believe that math and science knowledge benefits everyone, even those who aren't pursuing careers in STEM fields. My other interests include in-line skating, reading, music (I play French horn and harp), knitting, and container gardening.

...have varied in age, grade level, and coursework. I began tutoring almost seven years ago working with disadvantaged students on mathematics. Since then, I have constructed curriculum for a program for middle school girls, and spent a semester training in preparation to be writing tutor at Duke’s writing center which serves graduate and undergraduate students across disciplines. I have a love for learning, and an appreciation for the richness that a interdisciplinary education provides. Helping...

...is this drive that allows me to pursue my passions, both academically and socially, and to be successful in both. I find that my greatest happiness comes in the form of little victories such as a good grade on an exam, or making a friend laugh! Its because of this that I really slow down and try to appreciate every passing moment because I believe every moment has the potential to be life changing.... I strive to continue working on each issue a student has until he or she not only understands how to do the problem, but also the concept behind the solution.

...some writing, some reading, and some discussion in each lesson, and in this way engage the main three modes of learning. That being said, I try to modify my teaching style to best benefit the type of student I am tutoring. Over the last year, I have been teaching test-prep for the ACT, SAT, and High School Entrance Exams, as well as high school writing; US History; Literature; and Chemistry, and all grade-school subjects. When...

...and other standardized tests. My teaching is always focused on the individual student and his/her specific learning needs. I would be especially interested in a tutoring opportunity that involves academic/study skills advising and coaching. I have passed the Praxis Mathematics certification exams with a Certificate of Excellence (top 15%) and hold two NJ teacher's certificates. In 1997, I was awarded the Geraldine R. Dodge Fellowship Award for alternate route teachers. I am a bilingual poet...

...Brooklyn Technical High School, I was on the Math Team and actively participated in many competitions, such as the AMC and the Moody's Mega Math Challenge. During my high school and college years, I tutored math and taught piano. I currently teach classical piano privately. As a tutor, I can relate to the mind of the student and explain concepts using everyday terms and examples to more effectively convey information to the student.

...playing volleyball. I played volleyball in high school winning three state championships and continued to play at the University of Arizona. I have been tutoring for the past five years with much success in both Math and Physics. During this time I have found that the most effective method to convey difficult concepts is by actively developing the concepts and supporting them with clear simple examples. I understand the highly demanding schedule many high school...

...and exam preparation (SAT, ACT, AP and GRE). My favorite topics to tutor in are Biology and Environmental Science, since I love sharing my interest in the science and using it to help students better understand and enjoy these exciting fields. My teaching philosophy is best summarized as "show not tell" -- I find that guiding students such that they can arrive at the answers themselves, rather than just explaining the problem, helps them fully...

...required to communicate complex concepts to all types of professionals, from sales and marketing to operations and legal. I supervised and trained new employees, many of whom were new to our processes. All these experiences often required a lot of patience and good listening. However, seeing people get to the "light bulb moment" was very gratifying. It made me realize how much I enjoy helping others gain the same understanding of something as me. I...
