Award-Winning Psychology Tutors serving New Jersey

...first discovered the joy of tutoring in my junior year of high school, when I joined as an instructor at Kumon. I am now going to be a junior in college, but to me, the magic of seeing my students' faces light up as they learn new information has not yet disappeared. I have come a long way since I accepted my first tutoring job - which was also my first ever job - in...

...quickest way to learn is by doing, and if I am solving a problem for a student, then they are not absorbing that information as well as they could be if they were actively pursuing a solution themselves. This is a strategy that has served me well thus far, and I have personally watched students improve vastly under this philosophy. As important as efficient studying techniques are, being able to kick back and relax is...

...I try not to lecture the student, but engage them by connecting what I teach with real-life scenarios. Especially in hard sciences like biology, this makes it much easier for students to understand the topic. Outside of academia, I am a professional swimmer of 15 years, I love to hike, bike, and scuba dive. I also work part time as a model and am a market specialist for Bai, a drink company based in the...

...I believe it is this drive that allows me to pursue my passions, both academically and socially, and to be successful in both. I find that my greatest happiness comes in the form of little victories such as a good grade on an exam, or making a friend laugh! Its because of this that I really slow down and try to appreciate every passing moment because I believe every moment has the potential to be...

...interests, and how they think is the key to making progress. Many times I will ask students to verbally process while they work so I can see how they are thinking better. Outside of education, I am also very interested in traveling and learning about other cultures. I have been very lucky to be able to go to a few countries outside of the US so far and plan to visit many more.... Learning is something...

...learning has become a chore rather than a pleasure. The student, who appears to understand a concept today, may be hopelessly confused tomorrow and ready to give up. Tutoring can be fun and can help school be an interesting and productive place! It is my job to present the curriculum differently, in a way the student can relate to and understand. I am enthusiastic and ready to try another way, using all the methods and...

...levels as well. My tutoring style is very simple. I keep the material interesting and understandable, I make sure the atmosphere in the session is fun and intriguing for the student and I am very patient and completely willing to repeat material being learned as much as possible. My goal with every student is to make them feel confident about what they are learning and to develop a sense of empowerment in their ability to...

...white coat! In addition to my tutoring at the high school level, I have also tutored college level Biology to an art major. In this case, the simple rote memorization that seems to be main course on nearly every left-brained menu was less appetizing to this more intuitive, creative, visually-responsive student--a classic example of a need to not only constantly be refining my strategy, but also a reason why tutoring has been a great thing...

...to know students and gear the lessons toward their interests, which helps them learn more quickly, retain new skills better, and enjoy the tutoring sessions more. I particularly enjoy teaching science, writing, and test prep. With test prep I've found that supplemental work on fundamental skills helps students improve their scores much more than working through a test prep book alone. Watching students develop confidence in their abilities and improve their performance makes my tutoring...

...takes on real meaning. In a similar way, I view English reading, writing, and composition as integral components in basic communication. Reading comprehension skills help us to make sense of both written and verbal arguments from others, not only in the classroom but in the real world. Likewise, the development of writing skills is crucial to our ability to express our thoughts in a coherent, persuasive manner. These are skills with consequence far beyond the...

...am a graduate of Harvard University, where I earned an Ed.M. I am also an alumna of Teach for America and George Washington University. I am a certified teacher and have experience working with students across a wide age range, from kindergarten through high-school. I love reading and writing and excel at teaching in these subjects. I have worked as an editor and have successfully coached a couple dozen students through the college essay writing...

...I have plenty of experience with Calculus I through IV, Biology, Physics, and Chemistry. I love helping students in math and science and it gives me a sense of satisfaction to see other people succeed. As the eldest of three I've helped my younger siblings in their studies and primarily use examples and analogies that they can understand and relate to in order to help them. Besides math and science, a few other things I...

...fellowship at well known research laboratory in West Point PA. My research focus is developing an in vivo model of tau pathology. In a previous life (during graduate school) I was a researcher at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense, where I used histochemistry, in vivo electrophysiology, and behavioral assays to test efficacy of potential treatments for some of the most toxic chemical weapons on Earth. My academic background includes psychology, behavioral...

...was a former tutor at Fairleigh Dickinson University where I worked with students needing assistance with Math, Physics, and Business subjects, including Accounting, Finance, Economics, and Statistics. I really enjoy helping others learn as I am able to find different perspectives to help the student understand the material at hand. I am also available for weekly and bi-weekly tutoring sessions to help the student stay focused and organized for any major projects, exams, and/or goals.

...Algebra and Geometry for years, I love psychology and the human mind. Additionally, I excel at subjects involving the human body such as Anatomy and Physiology and genetics. My experience tutoring these subjects have been very rewarding as it brings me so much joy when I see my students regain confidence and motivation when their grades begin to rise as a result of our time together. I do my best to instill autonomy and healthy...

...am currently working towards a Bachelor's of Arts in History, focusing on historiography, specifically Sovietology. I tutor all the humanitarian topics, including the SAT verbal and writing, English, essay composition and editing, world and U.S. history, and the whole spectrum of the REGENTS test. I like to break things down to their fundamentals and learn from the bottom up, so that it's easier to see how all the pieces of a topic fit together. A...

"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." - Benjamin Franklin Pitt 2020 Molecular Biology/Non-Fiction Writing Major on the Pre-Med Track.

My name is Lauren. I have a Masters in Clinical Psychology and am currently working towards completing my doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I have taught Intro to Psych at the university level and taught courses at the Master's level. I believe in everyone's unique ability to learn given the right teacher.

...these subjects. I try my best to make every subject relatable to my students through everyday examples. I break down major concepts into more manageable pieces to help students see the larger concept. Teaching is a passion of mine. I have been teaching swim lessons for 5 years, and academic tutoring for the past 3. I have taught people of all ages, from 3rd grade through post-college. There is nothing better than seeing that “ah-ha”...

Looking to gain experience working with students of varying ages as I am considering a career in teaching. With this opportunity I would like to gain insight into developing lesson plans as well as continue to work on my interpersonal skills.
