Award-Winning ACT Tutors in Paterson, NJ

...and some we are prepared to learn from. For me, I treat each day as the opportunity to learn more about anything. With this in mind, I find it more beneficial when teaching my students. Yes, school is about success, but it is also about the fundamentals of learning. I am a person who tries to incorporate this ethic into my classroom and my tutoring practices. With a passion for learning, anyone can become a...

...and Masters in environmental engineering, four years of industry experience and five years as a professional sailor, I have a lot of appreciation for how the world around us works. From the simple process of doubling a recipe, to finding the optimum angle between wind and current to win a sailing race, to deeper questions about the workings of the cosmos, I hope to help students understand and internalize just how important (and useful!) an...

...past, I have worked at Kumon as a math and reading tutor. I am most passionate about teaching Math, Physics, and Spanish. I try to bring that passion to each tutoring session so that the lessons are both interesting and enriching. My ultimate goal is simple: when a student is able to explain a topic or even teach it back to me, I am confident that they have truly mastered the material.... It's important to gain an understanding of the student's foundation in the subject area. I would assess the student's command of the current subject material, but I would also make sure that they have a strong foundation in the subject from prior classes before focusing solely on new topics.

...a new drive after I relate to them about overcoming my own challenges with time management and discipline. It's not easy forming a connection between getting a great score on a standardized test and doing the things we actually want to be doing months or years later, and maybe it's bizarre that we have to, but it's there- or you wouldn't be looking for a tutor! The best compliment I've consistently received from students and...

...as an undergraduate, I decided to defer law school in order to pursue another lifelong passion, dancing. I am currently dancing professionally with New York Theatre Ballet, but missed the particular rigor of a scholastic environment, and, of course, students! Prior to working for NYTB, I gained additional writing experience as a fellow with the American Constitution Society, a progressive legal nonprofit, and as an assistant editor with the American Association for Justice.

Hey! I've recently moved to New York City from Wisconsin and am excited to be tutoring out here. I went to the University of Wisconsin (Go Badgers!) where I completed a double major in Business Marketing and Music Composition. I can't wait to work with you and help you to achieve your learning goals!

...from Cornell University, where I studied Child Development. I absolutely love working with students of all ages. I have the most experience working with preschoolers with autism, but have also worked with adolescents with various behavioral difficulties. For the last few years, I have tutored college-age students in several subjects including Psychology, English and Statistics. I took the GRE fairly recently so I feel very comfortable tutoring students to prepare for that exam, as well...

...she had worked as a lead tutor at a math-focused center for students ages 5 to 18, had individually tutored numerous students on college entrance exam preparation, and has worked professionally as an editorial assistant for research institutions. Her personal goal is to help students build a foundation of solid study skills that they can rely on throughout their education so that they have the confidence to perform their best in every course.... My first session is always focused on getting to the know the student's areas of comfort and concern, as well as working through a few questions from each area we'll address to see how he or she approaches problems. Discussing the goals of our time together is important, and that begins with understanding his or her learning style. Tutoring is a personal matter, and ensuring that a student is comfortable working with me is a major priority of mine.

...students with disabilities. I believe that with proper supports all children can learn and can grow into their full potential. I also have three years of experience substituting and have previously worked at Huntington Learning Center. I studied Creative Writing at SUNY Purchase, which taught me to write, edit, and critique. Because of this, I love to tutor language arts and writing. My background in writing has taught me to be concise and clear, which...

...college and graduate school, I have tutored students from a multitude of backgrounds and helped them along their journey to academic success. Each student has their own path of least resistance, and helping them find the best way to understand a particular subject paves the way for future excellence in all areas of learning. When I'm not working with students, I enjoy playing classical piano and hiking to all the corners of the world.
