Award-Winning Geography Tutors serving Bergen County, NJ

...familiarity with American culture and history. I also served as a teaching assistant and worked one-on-one with elementary school students at Camp Invention, a summer camp providing instruction in math and science. In my experience, the greatest strides for teaching a struggling student are made when the process of learning occurs as a product of conversation rather than rigid instruction and rote memorization. Though I tutor across a variety of subjects my passions are English,...

...the Dean's List six semesters in a row. Upon graduating, I was awarded honors for my senior thesis in comparative politics analyzing the causes of civil violence in Africa.

Throughout college, I have been tutoring to help pay the bills....

...not fun for anybody, so that's not how I teach. I try to de-mystify the subject from the outset, starting with acknowledging and building on what students already know - usually more than they think. I've studied a lot of languages (Spanish, Latin, French, Turkish, Attic Greek, Ancient Hebrew, and, of course, English) and I've learned that a lot of the principles of communication are universal. If you're reading this, you already know one language,...

...education and special education students. I have also seen them flourish after being given extra one on one attention and time to learn concepts that he or she is struggling with. That is why I wanted to become a tutor in my spare time. I spend every day as an educator and not always able to give the extra attention to the students that require it the most. When tutoring, I am able to spend...

My favorite subject, you may have guessed, is history, but I also have a long personal...

...Brown, I was a part of a three year conservatory in Acting and Theatre Arts. Over the past few years I have tutored students of all ages, from the middle school level all the way to college undergraduates and even middle-aged professionals. With every student, however, I start with one simple premise: how can we be ourselves as we seek to improve in our subjects? Perhaps my favorite subjects to teach are critical writing and...

...of uninteresting facts over and over. I tutor a wide variety of subjects that I'm personally and professional passionate about. I was a comparative literature/religious studies dual major in college so I'm very familiar with history, writing, and literature analysis. In high school I took 8 AP classes and I'm familar with the rigors and stresses of these classes. I work hard with my students to make sure that they feel they can get 5s...

...Columbia University, currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science. In high school, I was a member of Mu Alpha Theta where I taught students geometry and algebra for two years. I tutor Computer Science, Math subjects up to Calculus III, Physics, and ACT Prep. In my tutoring experiences, I find that learning and adapting to your interests and areas of expertise helps you understand the material on a much deeper level. In my free time,...

...My teaching philosophy revolves very much around the idea of helping students "learn to love learning," which is achieved by empowering learners of all ages and abilities to understand their own unique learning styles, and thereby capitalize on their strengths while also building up the areas in which they feel less able or confident. In my teaching approach I place a high value on multi-modal and authentic instructional methods. These principles combined help students receive...

...for my BA majoring in Journalism and Economics and minoring in Business. While there, my team also won a grant for Social Entrepreneurship which sparked the passion for ethical business that I am currently perusing at FIT with a certificate in Sustainable Design. In high school I tutored middle school math and taught ballet in the summer and in college I took a class where we tutored ESL students in reading. I am so excited...

This fall, I will be attending law school in Washington, D.C., and I'm excited to be able to share my knowledge and experience!

...degree in Chemical Engineering at CUNY. I first began teaching students in a secondary, therapeutic classroom in Lawrence, Kansas. Teaching emotionally-challenged students helped me cultivate a philosophy of teaching based around honest and effective communication. I like to ask questions to build confidence and encourage academic conversation. I also taught English as a Second Language in Korea where I adopted novel approaches to communicate across the language barrier as well as to keep students interested....

...and chunk information to help students develop a comprehensive understanding of history while building their reading and writing skills. Additionally, I have taught many honors classes and specialize in helping students fine-tune their test taking skills and write analytical essays. My students' regents pass rate is 20% higher than city average, which is evident in my "highly effective" teacher rating for the 2017-18 year. I've been told that my teaching style is both highly engaging...

...learning in others, is what has led me to pursue tutoring myself. I have gained so much from my experiences teaching English as a foreign language to Italian students in Bologna, Italy and as a voluntary tutor for students from disadvantaged areas in Dublin, Ireland. What I enjoy most about tutoring is how it enables me to conceive of concepts and texts I'm familiar with in entirely new ways, through the perspectives of my students....

...much more than relaying information. It's about non-judgement. It's about overcoming all possible barriers to success. It's about instilling confidence, independence, and resilience. It's about engaging the individual, and finding passion, excitement, and real motivation. If you are looking for more than somebody to simply relay information, if you are looking to truly enhance your learning journey, let's work together! (key words so you find me more easily) reading, environmental studies, science, math, writing, teaching...

I hope to make a difference in children's education and help everyone achieve their goals.

...current and future generations. I am very motivated to equip the minds of students to learn more about the academic world, introducing them to a multitude of subjects. Equally important to convey are life skills including treating others with respect, working in a team and learning how to be fit and healthy. I was first inspired to pursue teaching during my work experience at university. I was mentored by an inspiring school teacher who included...
