Award-Winning ACT Tutors in Essex County, NJ

I have been teaching ELLs (English Language Learners) for six years; the last three were spent living in Vietnam, where I taught grammar and conversation to Kindergartners to adults, and privately tutored high school students hoping to go to college in the U.S. I believe that words have power, and we have a responsibility to use them to communicate clearly and effectively, whether we are speaking across cultures or writing a report. ...

...reading and writing sections in high school, and I empathize with students who struggle with that format, with students who have trouble narrowing their ideas into one single-letter answer. My teaching technique is one that Ive learned from favorite teachers over the years, one that inspires focused, investigative, creative learning: Im committed to the belief that the only way students learn is by by doing. I ask questions, I guide, I challenge, and I direct,...

...I can truly get in the mindset of a student who is learning something - NO question is out-of-bounds or silly - it all comes from a place where the mind is trying to incorporate new information. There is nothing worse than an expert "teacher" who has forgotten what the various stages of learning was like! I work with students of all ages and in all the subjects I've listed. I look forward to hearing...

...own tutoring practice, I've also been director of a non-profit tutoring center. Under my administration we tracked students' scores and attained the highest average grade increase in the program's history. By guiding other tutors and consulting students for feedback on their experience, I got a very keen sense of what works and what doesn't. In tutoring, I focus on results, but not to exclusion. I want to provide the student with a meaningful experience. That...

...are Chemistry, Biology, and Math, but I also enjoy the process of writing and editing thought provoking essays. During high school, I spent time tutoring for the National Honor Society. My approach to tutoring is to teach the concepts in a simplistic manner and reinforcing the concepts while adding difficulty through effective practice problems. In my free time, I have recently found myself reading, working out, drawing, and spending time with my siblings.

...tutored extensively in the visual arts, both in fine arts and art history. I welcome opportunities to take students to museums or galleries to experience art first hand. If it is test prep you need, I can help. I have tutored for SATs and ACTs but more importantly I have been there; I have taken them all in the last couple years. I believe with a little bit of practice they're all conquerable. I am...

I really like working with other students because growing up, I always wanted to have a tutor there to just talk through my thoughts with or figure out a problem. I've been tutoring for 6 years and I've recently graduated from Bucknell University with a degree in writing and theatre. I like to try and relate to students and meet them where they're at with what they need.

I've been tutoring for 5 years now and it's one of the most rewarding things I've ever been given the opportunity to do! I believe that tutoring is a back and forth system. 50% me, 50% you. And with a little touch of fun, that's how we'll get the 100%. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy traveling and photography. In addition to that, I am a psychology and marketing major in college.

In doing so, I hope to put my students' intellectual development in their own hands while giving them every resource at my disposal which will help them to succeed.... I would...

...and society major at the University of Michigan. I have a significant amount of tutoring experience from my jobs as a physics learning assistant and a middle school science tutor. My approach to tutoring is that every student is different, so it is important to try different approaches and applications.

Hi! My name is Varija Mehta and I am a junior studying Computer Science at Cornell University to attain my Bachelor's in Science. Throughout middle and high school, I was always challenging myself to take hard courses from AP Calculus BC to AP Physics. I love learning new things and sharing that love with others.
