Award-Winning HSPT Tutors in Hoboken, NJ

...the material click and a student who "hated Math" suddenly becomes enthusiastic and able to teach me the material. I know I succeeded when my students reach their goals and are no longer struggling but excelling. I believe this quote from Thomas Carruthers perfectly sums up my view on tutoring, "A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary." In my free time I enjoy reading the newspaper, scrapbooking, and being in nature. I love...

...extremely gratifying. I have a proven track record for student achievement. One of my students achieved the highest score in her school on the Social Studies State Exam. In addition, my students improved by 30% after only 20 tutoring hours (on average, comparing pre-assessment and post-assessment scores). I have experience tutoring grades 1-8, but I really shine with elementary students. I strive to help students reach the next level; whether they are struggling to keep...

I have been a middle school teacher for the past three years which has developed my skills in being able to make grade-level concepts more accessible to all students. I am extremely dedicated to ensuring that all of my students have access to a high quality education, and would be equally as dedicated to helping any of my tutees. My undergrad degrees are in Psychology and French. I am a native French Speaker.

...in helping students achieve their personal best on standardized tests. My educational specialties include SAT, ACT, GRE, and SSAT prep. I am an alumnus of the University of Maryland, and have degrees in Political Science and Geology. I have also worked as a research assistant for the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. I love helping students with algebra, and my tutoring program is very flexible and responsive to student needs. My hobbies include keeping...

...I was able to quickly apply these two bodies of knowledge to real life situations in various industries. Furthermore, over the years I was also able to mentor individuals from different backgrounds and ages; i.e. classmates, referrals and colleagues helping them achieve their objectives. I always found it rewarding to see faces shine during Aha moments of understanding and eventually see many of them improve their scores/performance. With regards to learning, I believe there are...

...where I studied the intersections of philosophy, government, religion, and history. Skidmore was also where I began to gain formal experience working with young students, specifically by working as a Classroom Assistant. After graduating from Skidmore with honors, I began to work on my MA at The New School for Social Research, where I am focusing on Ancient, Modern, and Contemporary political, legal, and moral philosophy. While at graduate school I have begun to tutor...

...to continue learning, and I try to make the experience as enjoyable (while still educational) as I can. I incorporate a lot of technology, through the use of my iPad or laptop. I allow students to supplement their tutoring work with educational applications, websites, and video clips. I like to use as many hands-on activities as I can. I also think my generally upbeat and easy-going personality help me to be flexible in how I...

...in a variety of subjects since! I specialize in mathematics and science tutoring as well as standardized exam preparation. In the past, I have helped students achieve significant improvements and success on the SAT, SHSAT, Regents and other exams! I truly believe education is a mutual learning and teaching opportunity and enjoy helping my students achieve a thorough understanding (those "Aha!" moments) and appreciation of whatever they choose to study! In the future, I seek...

...degree in education from Touro College in 2012. I have tutored for more than six years and have worked with several students who had multiple unsuccessful attempts with the NY State Regent's and helped them to finally pass the exam. I specialize in 9th and 10th grade math, but have taught and tutored grades 7-10. While I can teach just about any subject, I love teaching math because I am a very logical person, and...

...working on analytical styles during problem solving. Watching students advance through grades is only part of the big picture. My approach is to identify the weaknesses of the student, present them with various methods of approaching problems, and provide them with sufficient practice and resources to overcome what they once thought was a feat. Thus, each student develops his or her own system with confidence. Although I tutor an expansive range of subjects, my passion...
