Award-Winning Graduate Test Prep Tutors in Bergen County, NJ

...Varsity Tutors, helping people prepare for the LSAT as well as the SAT and the ACT. I have really enjoyed my experience assisting students in test preparation. In my experience, students first approach tests in an ad hoc fashion, and often with a fair bit of trepidation and hesitancy. I find it tremendously satisfying to help students conquer those initial hurdles and gain a feeling of mastery and confidence. I am patient, and I encourage...

Education has given me the opportunity to find what I am passionate about, and I hope to help others gain that same opportunity through tutoring. I tutor in English, French, and standardized tests, and especially enjoy helping students think about subjects creatively and from new angles. My largest interest,...

...essay-writing and Test Prep involving verbal reasoning. I also love helping with admissions essays whether for college, medical school, or anything else. I've tutored many types of students in the past, so I can work with any type of student, but I'm an especially good fit for science students trying to improve writing/verbal skills or pre-med students. I love to approach tutoring with a sense of humor. In my free time, I enjoy reading, playing...

My role in your study will be to help you find the small components in a problem and tackle each one, and provide a patient voice of encouragement for you.

...on international development. During my undergraduate years, I also worked in Harlem tutoring students in math, literacy, the SAT, and essay writing. After earning my B.A., I moved to California to teach at an inner-city charter school. There I worked directly with under-performing students in one-on-one and small group settings. I honed my ability to explain even the most challenging material in simple terms and to motivate the most disheartened students to try again. In...

Since high school, I have helped fellow students with academics. At school, I was also a tutor through Penn's Tutoring Center. I think what makes me a successful tutor is the ability to not only understand the material but also the perspective of the tutee. This helps...

I emphasize understanding any material from multiple perspectives, which results in a sophisticated mastery of the content and allows students to feel comfortable with what they are learning, both in tutoring sessions and in the classroom. Whenever I tutor for test prep, my...

Asking questions is an integral part of the learning process and my approachable nature allows students to feel comfortable enough to ask the questions that they feel they need to. Because of this I am able to have an open and honest working relationship with all of my...
