Award-Winning Latin Tutors serving Elizabeth, NJ

...as easily as possible through exposure to historical sources and understanding of their uses--I also frequently approach history from a so-called "bottom-up" or microhistorical approach, which I've found in teaching Roman Republican history can be very useful for students in understanding how a society functioned, which is crucial for their understanding of causality of events. These methods of approaching teaching in these particular subjects served me well during high school and now as I approach...

...I went on to earn a degree in Latin and Greek literature in college, I really think my passionate interest in this subject was nurtured and allowed to thrive because of the extremely solid foundation I received in Latin grammar from one outstanding high school teacher.

Outside of school, I...

Hi! My name is River Knight. I'm currently a student at New York University. I've actively worked as a tutor for the last 5 years. I hope to help my students find the joy in what they're learning and give them tools to improve on their own!

...owes to the way my mind learns. My mind is suited to books and the classroom, and this is a convenience for which I am very fortunate. I recognize, however, that every mind learns in its own way---a reality that institutional education cannot accommodate. I make it my priority to determine what methods of demonstration and motivation are best suited to every student I work with. I look forward to working with you. I really...

As a scholarship student at IU, I majored in economics, cognitive science, and piano performance. Outside of tutoring, you can find me...

...mathematics, including single- and multi-variable calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, advanced undergraduate analysis as well as graduate courses. While I love math and teaching, I found that working working full-time at a university is not for me. The heavy teaching loads and constant pressure to publish research results left me run down and exhausted, and that's not how I want to live and work. I want to enjoy teaching and working on research while also...

In my four years there, I was selected by the department chairs to be the designated tutor for Mathematics (Precalculus to Calculus 3), Organic and General Chemistry, Biology (Cellular, Molecular, Developmental, and Genetics), and Physics, each for minimum of one year. The reason I agreed to tutor again and again each year they approached me is because I simply...

My experience has given me a keen understanding of the challenges facing students, and I've found that...

After graduation I worked for one year as an immigration paralegal before beginning my Ph.D. in German at New York University in 2011, which I am still pursuing. As a Ph.D. student I have taught both discussion sections of required humanities courses and stand-alone German language courses at all levels; both of these kinds of courses require significant one-on-one...

...sometimes the problem is not the new material, but a stronger foundation in previous classes is needed. Professionally I have mostly tutored math for the last several years, but within my friends I tutored physics and other STEM courses through my academic career. I have a BS in civil engineering from New Jersey Institute of Technology, an MS from Stevens Institute of Technology and I am currently pursuing a PhD in civil engineering.

I also have a good sense of humor, and tutoring has always been a pleasant experience for both the student and...

Not all great minds think alike, we all think differently as our skills and talents shape us and make us who we are- education is a gift that should be shared and recycled infinitely :)

...with science fiction/fantasy publisher Tor Books in downtown NYC. My tutoring style is based on the belief that each student comes to a problem or subject from a different angle. The trick is not only to find the approach that works for the student, but also to boost the student's own investment in finding the methods that work best. I believe a student learns best when choosing to engage with the subject on a personal...
