Award-Winning History Tutors serving Newark, NJ

...the objectivity of math. My teaching style is to try to understand the perspective of the student and where they are getting confused, so I can more effectively explain the concepts. I also like to focus on teaching an understanding of the subject instead of just pure memorization, because I think that is the best way to actually learn and remember. Some things that I am interested in outside of academia include hiking, traveling to...

...own (the higher your education goes, the more important this becomes!). While the old "catch a [wo]man to fish and they eat for a day, teach a [wo]man to fish and they eat for a lifetime" proverb may be a bit corny and overused at this point, it is still very relevant for continued academic success. It is always a fantastic idea to ask for help when you don't understand something, but it's important that...

...such as the SAT because of how easy it is for students to improve once they are taught techniques and begin to practice them. As the son of a teacher I was always taught that education was vital and necessary to succeed. I passionately believe this and in tutoring try my best to give students the tools so that they could garner the most out of their education. My favorite hobbies include traveling, reading, and...

I'm a professional copy-editor and proofreader looking to make supplemental income. I'm very good with language, literature, writing, and speaking. I'm a good tutor because I focus on outcomes -- my last SAT client raised his Verbal score 200 points after I worked with him.

...listening, some by seeing, others must do. To that end, I try to tailor my lessons to fit the needs of each individual student. Ultimately, I believe that the ability to excel in educational pursuits rests largely on mental strategy, organization, and skill, all techniques that are very teachable. While absorbing content is important, the way we look at the question being asked and the way we understand the test itself is just as crucial...

...throughout the semester/year, and it helps them pick up new concepts quickly. When I am not studying or tutoring, I love to read, exercise, and explore. My favorite author is Stephen King, my favorite sports are basketball and snowboarding, and my favorite food is popcorn! I just recently moved to Manhattan, so I venture out into different parts of the city in my free time. So far, I have run into comedians, actors, and many...

...B.A. in Economics and Political Science. Recently, I traveled through India, teaching Math and English to kids in the states of Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh. My favorite subjects are English and History, but I also enjoy Math and took a variety of statistics and calculus courses at the university level. I am planning on pursuing a Masters degree in the field of political science, and am hoping to stay on the east coast for school....

...Video Producer for INSIDER. As a graduate from the nation's top journalism school, the Missouri School of Journalism, I am an expert in all things English, writing and grammar. However, as a magna cum laude graduate from the University of Missouri - Columbia with a Spanish minor and a suma cum laude graduate from Parkway West High School, I am well-trained in Spanish, math and history instruction. I look forward to working with your kids!

I'm a current Honors student at Rutgers University. I am working towards a Masters degree in History. I am most passionate about English and History, and can tutor very well in those subjects and in ACT prep. I believe in asking questions to guide students and giving them strategies for success rather than dictating answers directly. In my spare time, I read voraciously and play saxophone.

...gone to school on the upper west side for both elementary and middle school and attended Bard High School Early College II for high school, where I accumulated 48 college credits during my time there. I studied ballet for eleven years at the School of American Ballet and in my free time play tennis and like to play bridge. I am always looking to help students and my piers learn more and use my love...

...ace the SAT. My specialty is language and history, with an emphasis on Japanese, English, Latin, US history and World History, but I am also more than happy to help out those struggling with Algebra and Geometry. As someone who was once an ESL student himself, I believe that a good education rests upon the ability to comprehend, interact, and apply ideas. Besides academic matters, I am also fond of running, calisthenics, and Enka music.

...French and Spanish. In July 2019, I was selected as a Fulbright Scholar to Moldova and attended orientation. In September 2019, I flew to Moldova and began my Fulbright journey. During my time in Moldova, I was an English and Spanish professor at a university called Comrat State University. The students in my classes were very diverse in terms of ages and languages. They ranged from high school students to the mayor of the city...

...mostly due to a deeply entrenched fixed mindset: believing that just because I wasnt effortlessly superior at something from the beginning of the learning process, then I can never get good at it. This limiting belief was detrimental to both my early college success and my contingent self-esteem. I dreaded every writing assignment since they became reflections of my incompetence and unworthiness, insidiously dispelling my idealized identity as the smart kid Ive carefully cultivated throughout...

...in a variety of settings and capacities. I started my teaching career at Blind Brook High School in Westchester County, NY, where I taught English Language Arts for three years and developed a popular creative writing elective, which I also adapted for a pre-college summer enrichment program based out of Cambridge University in England. Fascinated with the learning potential inherent in international experience, I took a professional "gap year," during which time I traveled extensively...

...Spanish for business for small groups of professionals and tutored children. I concentrate on developing fluency, not in grammar. Grammar is a tool, and not the end, when learning a language. All elements of grammar a students need to succeed at school will be covered, but we will take it a step further. You will not only understand how the subjunctive works, but you will also learn how to use it. Lessons will always be...

...but I now especially focus on foreign languages -- Spanish and Italian chiefly among them -- and test prep. I believe that I am a great fit for most students, since I realize that there several types of learning; I try to design each lesson that meets both the students' needs and outside interests. My own outside interests include cooking, traveling (20 countries & counting!), photography, reading, and, of course, watching the New York Jets...

...currently a student at Gordon College in Massachusetts, majoring in History and minoring in Music (I sing and play the piano!). I am currently part of Teach for America's Ignite Fellows and tutor in reading. As of right now, I am taking steps to pursue teaching after graduation. I am deeply passionate about the value of education and how critical personal relationship are to that. Some subjects I particularly love are History and English/Writing.

...ideas. It is within these simpler ideas that a clear understanding must be made. Often times in the realm of problem solving, many solutions are possible. I encourage the employment of many different methods for one problem, because we all think differently. Additionally, I have many different certificates in many different subjects. My favorite subject that I received multiple certificates in is Linear Algebra. The most entertaining course for only one certificate was data analytics....

...essays, perform long division, translate difficult texts, and find the derivative. Prior to the outbreak of COVID-19, my plans were to attend Columbia's School of Social Work, where I was hoping to counsel foster youth. Unfortunately, I've had to defer my enrollment to Columbia, but I'm still just as passionate about education and child welfare as ever. My goal as a tutor is to share with my students an excitement for learning, as well as...
