Award-Winning ACT Math Tutors for Students in Essex County, NJ

...Society. I've had a passion for teaching since high school, and I pride myself in my ability to connect with students and personalize my teaching style to help them learn best. I'm passionate about a wide variety of subjects in math and science, but my favorite thing to teach is English reading and writing. Outside of school, I enjoy reading, watching soccer, going for long walks, and spending time with the people I love.

...subjects until college (I was admitted to Columbia as pre-law for my writing), and I wish I had been exposed to the fun aspects of these subjects at younger age. Often we are discouraged from science and math while young by phrases like "I'm just not a math person," when the reality is that everybody learns math differently. These subjects are my favorite to tutor because it is incredibly rewarding to facilitate a previously-struggling student's...

...learning style. I am currently applying for residency in General surgery and I believe that I would be an excellent tutor to help you score well on your board exams. In my experience, helping students with crushing their board exams have been the most enjoyable because it allowed the students to have a tangible outcome on their future. With high stake exams its necessary to have a tutor who best understands your style of learning...

...questions and make mistakes. It is from these mistakes that they will be learn of their strengths. I will also make sure to be interactive with the parents and teachers if possible, due to the importance of a strong support system for the student. At the end of the day, I am not looking for my student to become a straight A. I am striving for them to improve and see the results in the...

...and multiplication tables! My general tutoring style is relaxed yet focused. When I'm working with a student, I'll ask more questions at the beginning of the session to get a good idea of where the student stands and where there are some gaps. One of the biggest things I've noticed (especially in math!) is that if there isn't a good foundation, you won't be able to finish the whole house (i.e., your learning objective). By...

...the past six years, and I love it! I started as a homework tutor with Big Brothers Big Sisters in high school, where I found my passion for helping students. In college, I tutored extensively in the Washington DC area, both professionally and as a volunteer with the DC Reads Program. I have worked with a wide range of students, tutoring for college entrance tests (SAT, ACT, Subject tests, etc.), as well as high school,...

...Brooklyn. I love math and science and love working with kids so teaching and tutoring is really the culmination of my passions :) In my spare time I like to cook, go for bike rides, rock climb, knit, and go for runs in the park.

...qualified for the Advanced Science track at Stuyvesant High School. I have also stayed familiar with the SAT and ACT. My test preparation is rooted in knowing the test material, and then performing on test day. Test anxiety is a problem for many students, and with my psychology background students learn to test with confidence. In my spare time, I am a voracious reader and write and perform comedy, including stand up, sketch and improv.

...is an Indian dance competition that I am a part of to help build in the beginning months of the year and schools across the nation come to compete. I am the President of Delta Kappa Delta Sorority, Inc. that focuses on child abuse and is a non-profit organization.

Greetings students, I am studying towards an Electrical Engineer BS degree and I have quite a few years of work with high school and college students from all backgrounds.

I am thrilled to meet you in our upcoming class.

...perspective on education. I have experience tutoring English at ESL level, in reading, speaking, and writing. Having learnt several languages myself and being a trilingual speaker (Cantonese, English, Mandarin), I understand the challenges of navigating between languages and am familiar with ways to overcome them. In addition to this, I have taught beginner violin and basic music theory. I've always developed good relationships with my students and their parents, and I strongly believe that this...

...student at Villanova University pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering with a minor in mathematics and sustainability. I am passionate about science, mathematics, and environmental studies. I have taken and succeeded in classes such as Calculus I & II, Differential Equations, and General Chemistry I & II. I also have tutored in Algebra, Trigonometry, and Chemistry. I look forward to helping students achieve their goals and sharing the enthusiasm I have for these subjects.

...problems that will make the questions easier to answer correctly. My teaching style is heavily based on understanding. Although there are many little tricks that can be taught to help students correctly answer math problems, these tricks often come at the cost of true understanding. Only when a student truly knows the material with a certain amount of depth will he/she be able to answer the most challenging questions. Outside of class, my interests are...

...went to an elementary school and help students (Grades K-6) with their homework in reading, math science, etc. I became close with many of the children and watched them grow as students and as people throughout my four years of being there. I wanted to continue tutoring in college which lead me to join a club at Villanova called RUIBAL. Through RUIBAL I was able to again help younger children with their homework, specifically with...

I am a graduate of CUNY Baruch College. I have many experiences teaching math and various sciences from elementary school to college. Occasionally, I tutor some of the higher level college courses that I have excelled in. I believe in incorporating real-world and personal experience to help my students understand the concept. I will enjoy meeting you!

...in a different way. Coming to a problem - whether it be an essay, a math question, or a writing exercise - with a different frame of mind can help make learning fun and rewarding. I have over five years experience tutoring both groups and individuals and have taught all ages (my youngest student was 5 years old and my oldest student was 71!). I think it's important that both the student and the tutor...

...power of education in my own academic career. This journey has fueled my dedication to supporting and empowering other students in their pursuit of knowledge. My experience working with students encompasses various roles, including volunteering as a tutor, mentoring, and participating in educational programs. These experiences have equipped me with the ability to connect with students at different levels and adapt to diverse learning styles. I am on track to obtain my Bachelor of Science...

...fellow students to help them understand both computer science and linguistics course material. I tutor for computer science, linguistics, standardized tests like the PSAT and ACT, and some math levels too. When working with students, I really like to work one-on-one and help my students understand the concepts they are learning, rather than just helping them complete homework. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy playing trivia with friends, reading books (mostly about languages and linguistics),...

...classroom as a volunteer for ages 16 months to 3 years. As I got older, my love for teaching grew and I began to work in summer school classrooms! For two summers I had the amazing opportunity to be a part of a 5th grade summer school classroom. Within the classroom, I helped the head teacher with lessons and guided reading, writing, and math activities. I'm definitely a big fan of interactive activities and learning...

...give the students good study habits and motivation to do well. I am also a mentor at the famous Stuyvesant high school where I am an alumni. We teach the high school students how to make first time 30 seconds elevator pitches to impress people in 30 seconds, write resumes, figure out what colleges to apply to that are good for them, write essays for colleges, take SAT classes, and how to interview well.
