Award-Winning AP US History Tutors serving Hoboken, NJ

Hi. My name is Avi and I am a Sophomore at Oberlin College. I love to read and write, and I love editing essays. I can help with any work you may have, including any subject that is taught in K-12, Hebrew and Judaic Studies tutoring, college essays and applications, and ACT prep. I have been tutoring and teaching students for four years, and most recently I tutored at Oberlin Middle and High Schools.

...writing an essay is simply starting it. Don't have fear of the blank page. Don't worry. I'm here to help. I am a veteran teacher with close to a decade of experience. Prior to my time as a teacher, I worked in broadcasting with credits as a writer, producer and video editor in broadcast news, professional sports and documentary film. Most importantly I believe in you and your ability to make great strides. Together we...

...or problem too complicated that I cannot help with if not solve. I am exceptionally dedicated to my students; ensuring that they not simply memorize concepts or regurgitate facts but truly understand the material. I ask them to defend their answers which teaches them that the correct response is often less important than the reasoning used to reach said response. I honestly believe that anyone can learn anything given enough time and patience. I try...

...In High School, I was a National AP Scholar and a National Merit Finalist. I am passionate about helping students succeed, and I am patient and enjoy walking through multiple methods to help a student find what works best for them. I enjoy helping students reach their potential. While I tutor a range of subjects, I am most interested in and best equipped to tutor students in SAT prep (math, English, and test-taking strategies), history,...

...and chemistry, and later branching out to SAT prep and most other subjects. My philosophy is this: all students are able to excel at anything they set their minds to. The reason why some do while others struggle has more to do with poor studying habits or a different way of learning material that is not addressed by the teacher's methods. It is my job to diagnose what the problem is and to fix it....

...a performance, something to be invested in, rather than 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...

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.

...from Emory University also in History. My legal experience includes working as a summer law clerk for two appellate judges and as a summer associate at a large law firm in New York City. In college and in law school I tutored for a variety of subjects and enjoy working with students one-on-one to tackle and master difficult concepts. In my spare time, I enjoy taking in all that New York has to offer including...

...I was one of those nerds in college who loved the ten-page literary analysis essays! Literary analysis is important because the skill can be applied beyond literature. Of course it greatly aids in reading comprehension. But to learn to analyze literature is to learn to think critically, and to learn to defend an analysis in an essay is to learn to communicate effectively. More important than anything I've written so far, though, is my love...

...My thesis explored the use of mise en abyme, a post-modern literary device, in graphic novels. My six years of work as an outdoor instructor in Vermont have nurtured my passion for experiential education, which I have completed through my work as a writing and French tutor. I have extensive experience editing college essays and helping students prepare for the Writing and Reading sections of standardized tests. I love canoeing, reading, and being outsideI'm always...

...even beyond the tutoring session or particular subject area. Also, I find that motivation is a key factor in studying and that finding what interests you about a subject or even an unconventional (but effective) way to approach a subject can instill that motivation on its own, giving the student the desire to move forward for him- or herself. Even though I spend a lot of time reading and writing in my own studies, I...

...writing classes, as well as some high school science courses, and all middle and elementary school subjects. I love teaching and helping students learn, and especially love fostering curiousity outside of school. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with my BA from St. Edward's University in Communication and a member of the Honors program where I completed my undergraduate thesis. I also work as a freelance journalist and enjoy photography in my spare time!

...in Oberlin Ohio, mainly studying German Language and literature, Philosophy, and History. In high school I take a variety of AP and honors level courses with strengths in history, writing, and literary analysis. I am also strong in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus I. My approach to tutoring is to pinpoint where a student is struggling conceptually and helping to impart to them a method of thinking about subjects so that they are equipped to...

...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 their reading. Through zoom, I would sit and read with the students, helping them with big words and understanding the story's main idea....

...also teach group instruction sessions on library resources, research methods, citation, and information literacy. I love working with students to destigmatize research and critical thinking and open up these skills as a foundation for autonomy and creativity. High school, college, and adult learners are my people! I love working with these populations and finding what values drive their curiosities, education goals, and focus areas. I always strive to root learning approaches in what is most...

...many other AP classes along with general school work. I teach via the Socratic Method, asking pointed questions that will guide you to the answer, ensuring that you can learn the material yourself as opposed to me telling it to you. I want to make sure you learn the concept not just a particular problem. Lastly, I like to make our sessions fun! This is a hard time and whatever subject you're taking is hard!...

...I tutor tend to be international students so I have a good amount of experience working with students who speak English as a second language. Obviously I tutor writing, but I also love working with literature because I love stories and I love how different people experience those stories in different ways, which I feel also reflect my "teaching philosophy". Everyone understands things in different ways, but sometimes knowledge is presented in a way that...

I am a graduate of Barnard College/Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in American Studies with a focus on American Politics, Music and Literature. I also completed the Education Program and received certification as a Middle and High School Social Studies Teacher. After graduating, I received a Fulbright Scholarship to teach English in a...

I am a recent J.D. graduate from Duke University School of Law. I scored 174 on the LSAT prior to admission. I also have a B.A. from the University of Virginia in Foreign Affairs and Spanish, and am a fluent Spanish speaker. I have experience tutoring students at many different levels of education.

...am excited to share my excitement for these subjects with my students! I believe that there is no one approach to learning, so I take the time to tailor my teaching approach for each student based on their strengths and needs. I am available for tutoring in AP US, AP European, and AP World History, as well as AP Government and Politics. I am also available to help students with with College Level Political Science...
