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

...child has the ability to learn and grow. However, each child is different and these differences in learning styles or prerequisite knowledge have to be taken into consideration. It is up to the teacher to find out what skills gaps each child may have and create an individualized plan to implement in order for the child to be successful. It is also equally important to highlight the student's strengths and use these strengths as a...

...myself in successfully engaging all students. I understand a student's success is based on the individual's growth and work diligently in helping all learners reach their personal goals. Some of my techniques include use of visuals, technology, hands on experiences, mnemonic devices, music, and other multisensory methods. My lessons are also tiered to ensure learners success. I look forward to hearing from you and discussing how we can work together to help your child make...

...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 sessions some of the best hours of my week!

...needs to be intentional, energetic, hilarious, focused, motivating, and inspiring, which requires passionate educators, such as myself, to create environments where all of this is possible. I approach education from a whole-child perspective. A student's success is not based solely on their academic achievement, but their social/emotional development, their relationships with their peers, family, surrounding community, culture, and world. This enveloping philosophy begins with developing a student's character, heart, intellect, and creativity equally; the things...

Most of my time was directed towards providing Cadets with assistance and instruction in english composition, literature, grammar/mechanics, and expository writing. I believe that education is a powerful way for young people to not only achieve social mobility but also to come to terms with themselves and the world around them. As a consequence, my teaching strategy is aimed at engendering a deep and...

...hope. When in grade-school, I was the student who needed the extra push from a caring teacher to be successful in the classroom; this is why I do what I do - to be that teacher for the student just like me! Currently, I am teaching 5th Grade Reading/Math in North Philadelphia at a turnaround charter school. The challenges I have been faced with have led me to doing extensive research in reaching the populations...

...In the 5th grade, I had a teacher who changed my life and fostered my love of learning, and I knew from that moment forward that I wanted to have that same impact on students. My favorite teaching experiences have been working one-on-one with students who need extra help to master a particular skill. There is no greater joy than when a struggling student has that aha moment. The light bulb goes on and he...

...over four years experience with tutoring, and this experience allowed me to work closely with children of all ages on various assignments. I was able to offer my assistance and teach effectively and efficiently without simply giving the correct answer. The key to tutoring is to reinforce material in a way that the student is led to solving the problem on his or her own rather than being told what the correct answer is.

...tutor students who are at risk or are currently failing, and before school, I offer supplementary SAT help to our school's most advanced students. Now, I am seeking teaching positions for writing as I transition to graduate school next year at Columbia University for fiction.

When I began teaching, I emphasized to...

I also have experience in tutoring reading and math to mostly elementary to middle school age students. I most enjoy tutoring Math and Science (K-12). Teaching and learning are...

...itself well to working with students as individuals. I firmly believe that education should consist of teachers leading students to success (rather than trying to "lead success to students"), and teaching a solid list of fundamental skills is crucial to accomplishing this goal. My greatest strength as a tutor is my flexibility and familiarity with the content knowledge I teach. I have experience working with students from all over Philadelphia. In addition to having an...

...the concepts in AP Chemistry, Biology and Math. It took me years of studying to understand that, sometimes it can really help to have the material presented in alternative ways. Having learned that, I sought help from various sources -- sometimes other people, sometimes other books, videos or materials -- and was able to overcome these hurdles. Now a laboratory manager and technician in a leading neuroscience laboratory in Philadelphia with a Master's Degree in...

I thoroughly enjoy working with children with special needs and various learning disabilities. My background is in the field of special education and I am well versed on a variety of interventions that prove successful with students. I have worked with students at all levels and have learned...

Hello! I am currently a student at Rutgers University with an intended major of Computer Science. My dream is to become a software programmer. I believe that one should never stop learning, and that one should always be encouraged to pursue an education.

...I believe greatly in balance in all aspects of life, and so, it is no surprise to myself, that my philosophy of education, in essence, is about balance. One cannot stray too far into content, disregarding the social-emotional education of children, nor can one focus so heavily on what is new and innovative and ignore some of the core threads of teaching and learning. But, on the reverse end of the spectrum, I whole-heartedly believe...
