Award-Winning Literature Tutors serving Essex County, NJ

...so enjoyable. I believe in a more Socratic and investigative approach to teaching as I think that the deepest learning comes from answering guided questions and coming to one's own conclusions, then matching those conclusions to available standards and literature. I also believe in providing modes of concrete, pictorial, and abstract learning for every standard to truly solidify understanding for all learning styles. In my free time, I love visiting art galleries and I am...

...Rutgers. As someone who realized that things did not come as easy to them as they got older, I worked by myself to develop study techniques that allowed me to thrive, based on what type of learner I am, and how I better retain information.
