Award-Winning LSAT Tutors in Newark, NJ

...this past May. I ran several student organizations at Hamilton and gained a lot of experience teaching and mentoring younger students. I really enjoy getting to know my students and I like to bring a sense of humor to my lessons to help keep them engaged. I have tutored students ranging from 3rd grade to seniors in college and I have experience tutoring a variety of subjects, but my favorite subjects to tutor are Economics,...

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.

...also believe in the importance of balancing efficiency with a warm and supportive teacherstudent rapport--particularly given the vulnerable position of a busy, stressed-out student seeking help with high-stakes assessments. Because all students are different, I work to tailor my instruction to suit each student's unique learning style and personality. Outside of teaching, I enjoy playing jazz and classical guitar, cooking, and riding my bike (I've ridden across the state of Iowa five times).

...in Chicago for three years. I decided I wanted to live abroad, so I taught English in Prague for a year, before returning to New Jersey to pursue my teaching career. I started my career in education as a middle school History teacher. From there I went back to school (Jersey City University) to get my Masters degree in Special Education and became a special education teacher. After working for several years as a special...

I have been tutoring for the past ten years. I have tutored a variety of subjects for students ranging from elementary school to post-college students. I love learning and I am excited to share my passion with you!

...parents, I hope you will look to me for my many years of experience teaching and advising, for help with my strongest specific topic areas - Writing, English, Philosophy, and the Social Sciences - but also as someone who strives to empower a student globally, and someone who always gives every one of my students the greatest specific attention to their needs as possible across the full range of high school and collegiate demands. The core of my pedagogy is the belief that its importance and difficulty lies in establishing a balance between an intellectual rapport between faculty member and students; but perhaps more importantly, engaged, mutually responsive dynamics between the students themselves. Establishing a vibrant and successful seminar or lecture environment for me requires focusing early in the course on building mechanisms by which students minimize their reliance on myself as a mediating tool - for example, bringing to class small pieces of writing out of which we construct a conversation - and beginning from the outset to build and refine the role of their own voice in the classroom. I believe that my focus on the interplay between those two factors, particularly the empowerment and interconnection of student voices, is the deeper source of the balance in course evaluations between characterizing me as having "knowledgeable ...enthusiasm" and "love [for] the material," and highlighting the positive dimensions of the class discussion itself distinct from my role in it. Comments regularly note the importance to me of allowing students to develop their own textual interpretations and ideas about the theoretical and practical issues at the center of the class conversation: I make every effort to displace students' hub-and-spoke instinct to rely on me as they push through new texts, and encourage a more active dynamic of students addressing each other's readings and concerns directly. Although I do spend time focusing on cultivating the skill of critical reading in my course assignments, in class I try to regularly bring their hermeneutic process to bear on the ways in which the students think about and read (literally in media) contemporary political issues that they take the readings to address.

I have taught intellectual property law for the past two years and SAT preparation for the past 10 years. I am a great tutor because not only are my fundamental verbal and quantitative skills strong, but I am able to communicate my reasoning and problem solving skills quickly and clearly.... My teaching philosophy is to help empower students to stay calm and use what information they know to arrive at the correct answers on tests through good game theory and deductive reasoning

...have been tutoring it ever since. I have a wide array of interests, and can tutor a number of different humanities subjects. However, my favorite subject to tutor is LSAT preparation. I feel like I built up a huge amount of personal knowledge and strategy in my own study process that I want to pass on to others. I love History, too, though. I am currently in the law school admissions process, so if you...

My goal is to work with you to create a personalized learning plan that acknowledges your strengths and puts them to use in helping you actually learn a subject, not just memorize it.
