Award-Winning History Tutors serving Hoboken, NJ

...morning of the SAT I was much more interested in listening to my mp3 player than doing well on the test. Fast forward a few years: Today I take my classes seriously and am always looking for ways to improve myself as a scholar. You might ask, "What happened during those in-between years?" The answer is that I discovered several passions. I now have a passion for seeking out ways to change the society we...

...hiking, and biking! I am also an avid opera fan and enjoy the fine arts in general. Languages and different cultures have always been a passion of mine, and I love to make connections from around the world in my learning and teaching. I enjoy tutoring French at all levels. Reading and writing are favorite pastimes of mine, and I was a student who actually thoroughly enjoyed taking the SAT, ACT, and PSAT reading/writing sections!...

...the program at New Paltz, and I have had experience tutoring many of my fellow classmates in difficult subjects especially math and science. I’ve also taken many AP classes that have helped me shine through my first year of college, in which case I can help those students who will be taking certain AP classes because I’ve taken those exams. I love math and science and these subjects have always been a strong suit and...

...help students preparing for the SAT/ACT this summer/fall. In addition to SAT tutoring, I have experience coaching high school debate and am passionate about finding ways to simplify test-taking concepts so that they can become second nature to students approaching the process. I am a strong believer in the notion that standardized test taking is a learnable skill and believe I can effectively help students get into a mindset conducive to their succeeding. My favorite...

...language, and I'm currently finishing up that self-indulgent, semi-autobiographical first novel. I think it's great---we'll see if anyone else agrees. I attended the Brunswick School in Greenwich, CT from 2002-2006. I worked hard, and I did very well. I was admitted early to Harvard my senior year, where I enrolled in Fall 2006. Long story short, my father was chronically ill, and I left school to help care for him. He required more care, and...

...enjoy tutoring both history (and related social studies) and mathematics because I see them as two different ways of telling stories about the world in which we live. Tutoring history means building stories out of a collection of facts, a love of places, peoples, and cultures both near and far that I learned young while describing my family history - with a father from Cape Town, South Africa, and a mother from New Orleans -...

Hi there! My name is Erica. I graduated from Columbia University, where I studied the intersection of popular culture and politics. I like to write about comedy, dance, and New York arts and culture. I would love to share my enthusiasm for US history, social justice, and semicolons with students!

...tutored students in my major, guiding them through their studying, editing their assignments, and giving them general tidbits and tools. In courses outside of my major, students would come to me for help with essays and tests, and would ask me general inquiries like, "What does the teacher want to see," or "What is the best way to succeed in the course?" Outside of my career as a student, I have also been heavily involved...

...interested in studying environmental science, and Russian. Throughout high school I volunteered with various organizations to help teach students everything from French to Taekwondo. I am most interested in Russian and Math, but tutor a wider range of subjects. I genuinely love learning, and I try to help others understand why certain subjects appeal to me, with the hope that they find their own reasons to be interested in the subjects. In my free time...

I've been a professional tutor for the past ten years and a college instructor for the past four years. I have my masters degree in philosophy and hope to enroll in a PhD program in philosophy by Fall 2017. In my free time I enjoy stand-up comedy, strategy/RPG video games, and science fiction.... I believe that the goal of tutoring is to create life-long independent learners and that it is the tutor’s job to provide encouragement...

...many middle school and high school students improve their grades and/or prepare for standardized tests. While I'm comfortable teaching in many subject areas, my specialty is standardized test preparation. In addition to having a strong understanding of the subject matter covered on these exams, test-taking strategy is a strength of mine, including time management and general multiple choice strategy. I was a National Merit Scholar and AP Scholar with Distinction in high school and I...

...most beneficial way to polish a student's work, and as someone with much experience doing so, I am very thankful that I am able to do this virtually and help students from all over. I truly believe that putting in time to build one's vocabulary and diction outside of tutoring and class sessions is required in becoming a greater writer. As your tutor, I'm here to guide you but not complete your work for you!

Dedicated to the success of each and every student ... Icebreakers! I would want to get to know the student and find out what the student's goals are for the session. And then we can talk about how we can work together to achieve those goals!...
