Award-Winning ACT Writing Tutors serving Clifton, NJ

...every student requires a different approach. I scored in the 98th percentile on the SAT and many AP exams, and I've helped many people increase their scores on standardized tests. I'm an engineering student, so I use math, chemistry, and physics knowledge on a daily basis. I bring a systematic problem-solving approach to tutoring. I'm happy to bring my patience and experience to Varsity Tutors, and to help more people achieve success!

...also am passionate and well-versed in literary analysis and Latin American history and culture. My extensive experience with the education system in the US has given me insight into many of the skills required on our standardized tests and in our college essay writing. I believe that all students have an innate desire and ability to learn, and that a true teacher makes it their job to find out how to bridge the gap between...

...and I am a lover of learning and teaching. Tutoring has always been passion of mine, and I look forward to understanding students' strengths and opportunities to effectively provide an enriching, engaging and beneficial learning experience. I have experience teaching kids and adults of all ages. I studied Psychology at Harvard, graduating in 2015. When not focusing on academics, my passions include theatre, dance, teaching, cooking & travel. Thank you for your consideration!

I've been tutoring formally and informally throughout the past seven years; during that time, I've developed my belief in a "person-first" approach to tutoring. To succeed, you need more than just some academic knowledge -- you need the right mindset and a confidence in your own abilities as well. I try to instill that into my students.

I enjoy helping students prepare for all areas of SAT, ACT, ISEE, SSAT and GMAT. I believe, and I help students understand, that these tests are a means to an end. It is wonderful to know that I've played a role in helping students achieve their goals. Having spent many years mentoring teenagers, through extensive volunteer work, and raising three of my own, I understand the stresses and difficulties of this time in a student's...

...an experienced educator who has taught reading, writing, language conventions and public speaking successfully in three schools. I have a proven track record of moving students from below to above grade level performance in each of these areas. My approach is individualized intervention strategies tied to "real-world" applications of skills. This assures that students are not just learning content, but understand the context in which the content is useful for college and career success.

...strategies that tap into the standardized test skills that lie in their critical thinking abilities. To round out their college application, I collaborate with students on building effective writing skills in their college application essays that align with the personal story they are presenting to admissions committees. I have previously tutored AP Computer Science and AP Physics (1, 2, and B). I have participated in Maritime and Trademark moot court competitions and served as a...

...with a year spent abroad at the University of Oxford with concentrations in Political Science, Global History and Journalism. Though journalism and writing is my chosen career path, I have a strong foundation in Mathematics and spent much of my school years competing in national and local Math competitions (alongside a brief internship spent at NASA's Kennedy Space Center engaging in robotics design). Before I began my graduate degree, I worked as a full-time teaching...

...but I also have extensive experience working with reading and writing in terms of the standardized testing. I have access to a wide range of SAT prep that is not available on the internet as well as extensive experience with tutoring the SAT specifically, improving students' scores by as much as 400. I like to think that my teaching style varies widely between students, as I try my best to mold my plan around who...

...students. I have tutored students in Pre-K to college level math. I have found that most students who have struggled in math never built a strong foundation. They have struggled previously in a building block of a topic they are currently trying to master. I make sure my students understand and practice every concept before being bombarded with new information. My goal for my students is to show consistent progress with their scores. I believe...

...Minor in Forensic Science in the Honors Program there. I started tutoring through the Learning Centers over 5 years ago which helped me realize that teaching others was something I loved to do. This coupled with my passion for Science and a wide range of topics motivated me to excel. I have experience working with a wide range of students from as young as KG to as old as college aged students, in various fields...

...in their own way, and thus tutoring should be individualized to address the specific needs and interests of each particular student. I also believe a good tutor should try to make learning fun by piquing interest and by relieving any anxiety that often comes when students approach their work. My strengths are in ELA, History and Social Studies generally. I am also currently writing a graduate thesis, so I have a great interest in writing...

I am a test account.

I grew up in New York City and went to a very competitive school. For the past three years I have worked for a private tutoring company as a Humanities tutor. I understand how stressful studying can be and see the benefits of working with a tutor. I believe that with the right support and encouragement anyone can become a great writer. I am an expert in English, History, and writing. I would love to...

...just being lectured at by an adult. I am particularly qualified for English/Language Arts and History tutoring. It ended up being a monologue my character spoke that was dragging the play down. While it was well-written, it simply didn't fit within the world of the show. I made the decision: the speech had to go. But I wasn't upset. I knew that it was for the good of the entire project, and the show was...

...SAT subject tests and Regents exams as well. My favorite subject to tutor is math and biology, but I am able to tutor other subject areas like reading, writing, chemistry, and physics. My tutoring style is very student oriented with some lecturing. I make sure that most of the time I am asking questions, even if it is basic, just to get the student to always be on his/her feet. I also make sure to...

...in biochemistry and as an aspiring physician I am not only more confident in this area but I also have a deep passion for understanding the underlying mechanisms that make us who we are. This includes biology, chemistry, physics and, of course, math. This would encompass from elementary school arithmetic to high school physics to college biology. I really love sparking enthusiasm in a student once they begin to see the big picture and help...

...covered on these exams, test-taking strategy is a strength of mine, including time management and general multiple choice strategy. I was a National Merit Scholar and AP Scholar with Distinction in high school and I enjoy helping others perform to the best of their ability on these sometimes stressful exams. As a tutor, I strive to keep students engaged by employing a more hands-on approach to learning. I aim to minimize time spent "lecturing" and...

...teaching position in a middle school in the Bronx. Since 2012, I've taught middle-school English at the Honors level, with ELLs, and in integrated populations; high-school English at the 11th- and 12th-grade Honors and AP levels; and middle school Gifted and Talented for 6th through 8th grade. I've created curricula for test prep programs and for home schooled English students to mimic college-level coursework. Education is both the hardest and most satisfying job I've ever...

My collegiate and work experiences have allowed me many opportunities to work with other students to create and support our own creative platform. Through networking with mentors and advisors I have been able to direct, produce, and edit my own visual and audio works digitally. I've had several articles and radio pieces published in the university's newspaper. These experiences have assisted me in honing my communication and leadership skills. My greatest joy, however, has been...
