Award-Winning ACT Writing Tutors serving Newark, NJ

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!

...in Economics. I particularly enjoy tutoring for the SAT and other standardized tests, because I believe that with enough practice and some solid test-taking strategies, anyone can master these. As a former Division I runner, I've learned the importance of persistence and hard work, and I love sharing these values with my students and helping them to make significant gains. Outside of tutoring, I work as a scientist at a healthcare startup, and when I'm...

...can hone the skills needed to do well on them, and I have the experience to help you do just that. As a high schooler, I aced the SAT and took 9 AP classes; as a student at the University of Chicago, I developed exemplary writing and critical reading skills; and as a tutor, I learned how to convey those skills to students of all ages, from many different backgrounds, in both one-on-one and group...

...in Biology (Columbia University), and currently work as a forensic biologist at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in New York City. I am passionate about tutoring the ACT, high school math, biology, and English. My greatest ACT tutoring success story was increasing a student's overall score from a 23 to a 28 in a matter of 8 weeks during the summer of 2015. Ideally, I would like to tutor students preparing for the...

...interest. When it comes to standardized test preparation, I've found that knowing the intricacies of a test can improve a student's score just as much as knowing the subject material can. Different students learn in different ways but that kind of personal attention is difficult to provide in a classroom. With one on one tutoring sessions, any student can excel, even in the subjects he or she has the most trouble in. When I tutor...

I love learning myself, and enjoy making the act of learning for others a more gratifying and enjoyable experience!

I am a graduate of Phillips Academy and Columbia University. I received my bachelor's degree in Political Science specializing in International Relations and Women's and Gender. I have spent the past 10 years tutoring for a range of subjects from ages 3-24. My specialty lies in writing, college essay editing and SATs. Outside of tutoring, I spend my time traveling and solving my Rubik's cube.

...well as resume writing. I won a gold key for the Scholastic Writing Awards. I also worked with students in math and help teach the curriculum before the students learn it during the school year. This will help them get a head start into the subject. I tutor in: middle school math reading and writing, high school writing, college application essays, pre-algebra, AP Art Studio Art: drawing, SAT Writing and Language, ACT Writing, Algebra, Pre-calculus,...

...prep, math, or writing, any skill or problem can be broken down into small steps and tackled bit by bit. This makes hard problems far less scary and produces steady reward for the solver. My role in your study will be to help you find the small components in a problem and tackle each one, and provide a patient voice of encouragement for you. If you practice solving any kind of problem this way, eventually...

...have been a choreographer for middle school musicals for several years. I love working with kids, and have experience tutoring middle school students in Spanish, tutoring high school students in the ACT and SAT Verbal sections, guiding students through essay writing, and have worked with children with learning and behavioral disabilities, including those with ADHD and on the Autism spectrum. I believe in a patient, hardworking approach to test-taking and subject help. I am a...

...fan (my team is the San Francisco Giants), and am passionate about my craft of working professionally in theatre and film. In working with students, I'm all about working hard on the goals we set together, while having a good time. I like to take the pressure of the student's shoulders, instead focusing on equipping students with the best tools in their academic work, and their test prep. Academics should be fun and engaging, not...

Having taught students in various subjects before, and as a college student myself, I believe that the best teaching approach is one that caters directly to the student's needs-whether it's through lecturing or more personalized attention. I also think that learning should be an enjoyable experience and not feel like a chore which is why I teach in an interactive and exciting manner.

...so much as a fallback career, but because I am fascinated by the subject. I succeeded in getting into Northwestern without the aid of any academic tutors or test prep classes. As such, I am confident in my standardized test-taking abilities, and happy to share the strategies I used for the ACT, SAT II, and AP tests. I am also prepared to tutor a variety of academic subjects as well, as reflected by my approved...

...Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!... All questions are...

...worked on projects that have taken me to Africa and England. I recently returned to New York (where I was born and raised), and am excited to "pay it forward" to the next generation, helping students reach their full potential. I'm a strong advocate for creating individualized educational plans that are suited to best meet each student's needs. As a child, I struggled with getting ideas from my head to the page, overcame that challenge,...

...The basic sciences are always the most interesting because they govern the behavior of the world around us and it still amazes me how a few simple equations can apply to so many situations, including things we experience every day. My preferred teaching style involves a little bit of give and take. I think I excel at giving students new ways to think about certain problems which may give them a better understanding of the...

...a long history of academic success in high school and college and I want to help you achieve the same. Check out my excellent scores on the SAT and SAT subject tests, including a perfect score on Math II. I'm friendly, flexible, and always put students' and families' needs first. I also know a lot about teaching, due to my background in ESL teaching, educational nature tours, and private SAT tutoring (see my resume!). I...

...answers allow me to tell great stories and (hopefully) increase the level of knowledge among the public. As a recent student myself, I understand how the pressures of school can sometimes work against your innate curiosity. As a tutor, my goal is of course to help you maximize your success in school and standardized tests. But it's also (again, hopefully) to make room for curiosity, and to remind students, at least a little bit, about...

...Journal of International Human Rights. Prior to law school, I taught courses and provided one-on-one tutoring on the SAT, ACT and GRE. More recently, I have focused on helping students master the LSAT. I particularly enjoy providing individualized instruction. We each have strengths and weaknesses when it comes to learning and test-taking, and I've found that remarkable advancements happen when an approach is tailored to the student's unique attributes. I recently moved to the New...
