Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Elizabeth, NJ

I recently graduated from NYU's Stern School of Business and had a great time helping prospective students on the GMAT. I scored extremely high through self-guided study and found I learned fun ways to teach some of the tougher concepts. I believe in making the session fun and student-driven - but also quickly finding any underlining problems with comprehension and addressing them.

...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 will do my...

I am a firm believer in the fact that every child can learn and that helping each child to do...

...academic subjects is also an outgrowth of my own personal study habits. I believe that organization is key. I have found that a certain combination of systematic organization and simplification of every detail helps to illuminate the solution. Having a structured and repeatable approach can then be engrained in the thought process through repetition, and improvement will surely follow. Furthermore, I believe positive reinforcement and encouragement are also invaluable tutoring tools. Inspiring confidence in students...

I am currently studying Economics and East Asian Studies at Columbia University. Outgoing by nature, I have a teaching method that is very interactive. During a tutoring session, my students should expect a dialogue rather than a lecture. I have a background tutoring Math and Mandarin Chinese to students ranging from Elementary School to College.

...My teaching technique is one that Ive learned from favorite teachers over the years, one that inspires focused, investigative, creative learning: Im committed to the belief that the only way students learn is by by doing. I ask questions, I guide, I challenge, and I direct, but I always enable the student to find the answer on their own. I believe this is the only way that students learn not only to do the work,...

...way I could. That is how I discovered VarsityTutors. Tutoring allows me to use my experience and skills to help other students grow and learn in subjects they like and in subjects they dislike. What is most important to me is whether or not the student truly understands the material they are learning in class. In my experience, when a student "gets it," they are given confidence to continue to learn in that subject. The...

I'm passionate about writing stories, creating and listening to music, and finding the beauty in everyday interactions. I...

I love helping students reach their full potential and devising fun ways to teach and learn.... I want students to achieve their personal best and focus on personal improvement. It's...

...Mathematics and that it is a human endeavor, above all else. I take a holistic approach to teaching, which means that students are expected to reason through problems algebraically, graphically, pictorially and verbally. When students are able to synthesize these four approaches to concept mastery, real understanding emerges, and students, perhaps for the first times in their lives, see what they are truly doing. Thanks for reading my profile, and I am eager to help...

...helping people has been a passion of mine. What began as helping my brothers and friends in math, has turned into a strong desire to teach and educate persons of all ages and backgrounds.

...the GMAT by a private test preparation company, and taught that test to several small classes in Manhattan and Brooklyn. I am in the process of launching a small business. So in my spare time, I want to continue connecting to students by tutoring various subjects from math to English to test prep. As for test prep, I believe that most standardized tests don't test your ability in their stated subjects as much as they...

...to learn is through play! That's my philosophy. It's the way I learn best, so why not teach that way as well?
