Award-Winning Math Tutors for Students in East Orange, NJ

...find teaching math to students to be gratifying, and I hope to share some of my love for math with my students. I also enjoy tutoring test prep, especially since I know how stressful the process of applying to colleges (and later graduate schools) is! With every student, I aim to find an individualized approach that makes our time together productive, helpful, and enjoyable. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, making ceramics, playing badminton,...

...Honors in Neuroscience, and now plan to attend medical school. I am a diligent worker and consistently ensure that I am prepared to meet the student's needs.

...percentile on all three sections of the SAT, as well as attaining a score of 5 on the AP Statistics, US Government, US History, and English Literature and Composition exams. I completed my BA in Government in December after having served as a Research Apprentice with the Quantitative Analysis Center, and my thesis utilizing a range of novel econometrics to isolate the effect of public financing of elections on legislator ideology has been awarded Honors.

...about things like how to break into a certain career path then I can be a great resource for you as well. If you are studying for the GMAT and want to know about Columbia Business School, I can share my thoughts as a current student and share my admissions insights as well. I believe that tutoring is actually building a strong friendship. I do not do this for money but because I really love...

...It can even be fun. I promise! As a tutor my primary goal is not to teach towards specific problems. Rather, it is to establish strong foundations and to teach methods to figure out how to apply those fundamentals to any problem the student might encounter. I try to really drive home, on a conceptual level, why things are done the way that they are. Over the course of my tutoring career I have found...

...2, but through experience with students of all ages, I can also help with lower levels of Mathematics. Fractions and decimals are a problem of the past! Outside of tutoring, I spend my time with friends at local restaurants and playing video games. My younger brother and I played plenty of Pokemon when we were children, and through that, we have learned that some problems may give you the disadvantage, but with the right style...

...in the New York State Regents exams and AP Calculus, although I also have experience with students in middle and elementary school. Since I have been through many school systems, including public, private, studying abroad, and boarding school, I have learned many different techniques and can attack a problem from various angles. Ultimately, my teaching style is full of tips and tricks to break down complicated topics into simple, more understandable ideas.

...believe in giving anything less than 110% of my time and effort, especially when understanding the needs of my students. I coincidentally also happen to adore alliteration, fancy fairytales, and constantly consume coffee. I'm currently available full-time as a tutor in a wide range of subjects, though my availability may become more limited in the coming months as my daytime employment changes. I am available by both phone and email; my contact information is available...

...teaching, practice, sound strategy and motivation to improve any performance. I also have an advanced math aptitude that I put to use in business analysis, problem-solving (for fun!) and tutoring middle- and high-school students. I have tutored all subjects and strategies for ACT and SAT test prep. I am also the parent of teenagers (boy and girl), who have helped me understand the value of patience and encouragement when tackling high school studies and tests....

I am a undergraduate student in my final year of study studying biochemistry. I enjoy teaching and tutoring because I live for that "Aha!" moment my students get. I hope to study medicine one day.... I believe in a custom solution for each student, because each student has unique needs. I believe that every student has great potential, and I'm here to help them unlock it.... I'd usually create a structured study plan for them. Figure...

...as elementary school math, and high school and college physics. Largely due to my focus on mathematics, my favorite subjects to tutor are within these fields as well: while any opportunity to explain new mathematical concepts to students is a great joy to me, I find that the breakthroughs students experience in calculus and basic algebra (Algebra I or Algebra II) are the most exciting, and those subjects are correspondingly my favorite to tutor. When...

...up several useful studying and test-taking techniques that may help all different types of students. I think it is important to find the easiest and the most efficient and enjoyable techniques for each particular student, as every individual learns better in different ways. As a college student now, I still use many of these studying strategies and have been exposed to even more from my fellow peers. I am very hard-working and dedicated, not to...

...sciences and history, including AP European History, AP US History, and AP US Government and Politics; reading comprehension and writing of all levels, as well as college admissions essay editing; test preparation for all three sections of the SAT; study skills and organization; public speaking; and, of course, Religious Studies (my college major). I have a particular passion for helping middle school and high school students improve their writing and reading comprehension skills; opening students'...

...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 what can be fun...

...prepare for standardized exams for undergraduate and graduate school admission. In addition to my private tutoring activities, I was also a TA to an introductory science course at Cornell. In this position, I lectured weekly to a section of 15 undergraduate students and learned how to engage students in course material. In my free time, I enjoy cooking new recipes, competitive swimming, and tennis. Please feel free to reach out; I look forward to discussing...

...a senior at Harvard College where I study chemistry, and I'll be attending Columbia Medical School next year. I have years of experience tutoring college students in math (mostly calculus) and chemistry including both general and organic chemistry.

I believe that every student is capable of boosting his or her baseline score...

...been a teaching assistant for a scientific writing class, as well as tutored peers throughout my undergrad. I also was given the opportunity to teach English in Bolivia last summer. My favorite subjects to tutor are Math and English, because I think both subjects can be mastered through practice, and don't necessarily require memorization. I believe that in order for someone to master a subject, he or she must practice the methods necessary to do...

...have a huge passion to touch every little piece of the globe. The world's various cultures and people have lived a different subset of experiences than we have in our Western society. The ability to open one's perspective to these varying views and approaches to life is a key element of learning and such experiences are critical to everyone's development. In teaching I always include all of my perspectives and insights, no matter the subject....

...behind in school. I try to connect what they are learning to school to something they can more easily understand: Teaching the same thing, but from a different angle. The trouble with some classes as well is the disconnect between the teaching and the participation. As a tutor I engage the kids I work with to make sure they are understanding the concepts. Working one on one helps in this sense because I know specifically...

...redeveloping and revitalizing rundown neighborhoods by making them attractive to the public again. I want to leave my mark on the world and be able to say I enhanced the lives of all those who are residing in, working in, or merely visiting the city. My background in mathematics is very extensive. I took all honors mathematic courses up through AP Calculus BC in high school and Calculus I in my first year of college....
