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

...all my students. A little more about me: I have recently relocated to the Upper West Side after completing my M.S. at Stanford in August. As an undergrad, I scored a 790/800 on the GRE quantitative reasoning test (the SAT's bigger, meaner brother). I also received a scholarship for being top of my financial math class, which gave me the chance to volunteer three days per week as a math tutor in a high school...

...have prepared me to tutor a wide variety of subjects. My favorite subject to tutor, however, is Writing. I tutored students in Writing for three years at U.C. Berkeley, where I was able to share my passion with hundreds of people from all walks of life. I am excited to continue to do so with Varsity Tutors. In my free time you will find me rock climbing, listening to music, reading, or hungrily pursuing the...

...As such, I feel very confident tutoring a wide-range of students, in both their abilities and ages. While I am confident in tutoring a wide-variety of subjects, science is my passion and I have a great love of biology. As a student, I always enjoyed learning most through examples and case studies, and when appropriate, I enjoy bringing in my research and patient experiences as a way to illustrate core concepts. Outside of academics, I...

I have been tutoring students for 12 years, and I've taught students from kindergarten through medical school. I absolutely love math and science, and I try to share my enthusiasm for learning with all of my students. Teaching is not one-size-fits-all. My goal is to help each student achieve to the best of his or her ability by adapting my teaching style to the needs of each individual student. I believe that students can master...

I have my Master's degree in Environmental Engineering from Syracuse University. I used to be an engineer for a year. Now I am going back to graduate school for Computer Science. I worked for "Say Yes to Education" for a year to help urban high school students to prepare for the SAT test and New York State regents in the Syracuse area. Helping students to work out questions with efficient methods instead of feeding them...

I am a knowledgeable, passionate, and compassionate tutor. My teaching experience ranges from high school instruction, private tutoring, coaching, preaching, and leading high school youth groups. I have tutored and/or taught in algebra 1, geometry, American literature, world literature, middle school math, middle school science, middle school English/reading, American history, world history, essay composition, SAT prep, SSAT/ISEE prep, SHSAT prep, and GRE prep. I always try to discern what the individual needs and learning styles...

I've been teaching and tutoring since 2002, throughout college and grad school and while doing neuroscience research. I love tutoring one-on-one because I can get to know students and gear the lessons toward their interests, which helps 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...

I am a recent graduate of Fordham University School of Law but my background is in classical music. I live in Brooklyn and I tutor a variety of subjects. I really enjoy helping people understand complex topics and I'm easy to talk to.

...strategy rarely works for everybody, so I try to tailor my work to the specific student's needs and goals. That said, I always make sure to involve the student in their learning by guiding them towards the answers (Socratic method) rather than spoon feeding. I rarely spend much of a tutoring session lecturing. Outside of academia, I spend a lot of my time reading fiction, practicing yoga and meditation, playing board games, and appreciating art...

...University of Pennsylvania - from where I graduated with honors. In 2010, I published my first novel, and I am currently at work on two new books, one about Authentic teaching, and the other, my second work of fiction. Writing is my first love, and I teach writing skills with the same passion that I write. I look forward to working with you, and helping you get where you want to go.
