Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Essex County, NJ

...in a variety of ways until I feel comprehension has finally been reached. My ultimate goal is not to simply make sure a child knows a formula, but more importantly the concept behind that formula, and under what circumstances it needs to be applied.

...the street from the NYSE to some unfamiliar neighborhoods throughout New York City. Fortunately, as soon as I began planning my exit from the corporate world, I was provided a handsome severance package when I was laid off from such a promising first job out of college; while about half of the company’s employees of all ranks were let go, the unprofitable firm would later be sold. This turn of events set the stage for...

...originally from Seattle, Washington, land of rain and flannels (a few of my favorite things!). In Seattle, I attended a very challenging high school called Lakeside. Lakeside taught me to be the hard-working, ambitious, academically-oriented person I am today.

Being an actor always made sense with my warm, outgoing, fun personality,...

In high school, I myself struggled with physics and math, so I have a good idea...
