Award-Winning Math Tutors for Students in Elizabeth, NJ

...started doing standardized test prep by helping my younger sister study for both the PSAT and SAT on all three sections. When studying I love to make history fun, make math simpler and easier to understand, and help students feel calmer and more confident when taking tests. In my freetime, I like to explore everything New York City has to offer, including watching great Broadway plays, hanging out in Central Park, and catching a few...

...and have been very knowledgable about these subjects since a young age. I am dedicated to making sure people learn the math/physics concepts rather than just memorizing formulas. I have been tutoring students since my junior year of high school. During my senior year of high school, I tutored kids in math and physics almost every day of the week. I love sharing my knowledge of these topics with others and watching them improve. I...

...challenges. She takes particular pride in the confidence and self-reliance her students develop in their work and works hard to create individualized environments where her students, regardless of age, learning style, or subject, flourish.

She also serves on the...

I work and live in New York City. I grew up in Knoxville, TN and went to the University of Pittsburgh, where I studied economics and political science. I'm light-hearted but take academics very seriously. In all of my lessons I combine my curiosity about the world with the idea that learning can be fun.

...to guide you through the processes of taking in information effectively, so that you yourself can become an effective learner for the future beyond. A typical first time tutoring session would begin with me assessing where you are as a student in the topic at hand, asking you what you want out of our sessions (and me suiting your need to that desire as much as possible), and beginning a lesson plan. My SAT tutoring...

...and Computer Science. I have been tutoring for almost five years at the high school and test prep level and I love the mentoring experience! I believe whole-heartedly in a multi-faceted approach to learning and strive for depth of practice as well as breadth of knowledge. I am well trained in all of the subjects I have listed on my profile, whether through tutoring experience or academic and professional exploration. High school sciences have been...

...goal. I want to empower all my students to use all the tools and resources that are at their disposal to excel in whatever endeavor they take on. For example, when I work with a student on a problem I will not only help them understand and solve the problem at hand but I will teach them the techniques and strategies to solve similar problems, strategies such as problem deconstruction and examination. Truly, I want...

...the country while doing some really hard and rewarding work. I've had experience tutoring throughout college both as a teaching assistant and private tutor for high school and college level sciences. I was staff at weekly tutoring centers for both calculus and and organic chemistry, where I helped students with issues that came up on weekly problem sets or during their studying for exams. I also was teaching assistant for upper level chemistry and biology...

...a really hard time with physics. I was fortunate enough to have a kind upperclassman walk me through concepts like projectile motion and practice questions. He was a huge reason why I ultimately did well in the course. Having a patient and understanding tutor can make all the difference now that I'm in a position to help people, it's only natural I give back just like that upperclassman did all those years ago.

...at Rutgers RWJMS in 2020 and starting residency in Internal Medicine. I'm also a graduate of Columbia University with a BA in biology. I've always been interested in a wide range of subjects in school and love to encourage students to be enthusiastic about learning too. I often find that anxiety or fear are the first barriers to overcome in learning challenges. After that, hard work and lots of practice can conquer any difficult topic!

...standardized tests, because I believe that with enough practice and some solid test-taking strategies, anyone can master these. As a former Division I runner, I've learned the importance of persistence and hard work, and I love sharing these values with my students and helping them to make significant gains. Outside of tutoring, I work as a scientist at a healthcare startup, and when I'm not at work I'm likely to be found running around Central...

...organizational skills that they will be able to implement on their own outside the tutorial session. I also believe that as a tutor it is my duty to not only make sure my tutees have mastered their material, but also to incite confidence in them. School work, tests, and life in general can become overbearing and success may seem impossible. As a tutor, I am here to tell offer you a helping hand and remind...

...careers. I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2009 and have extensive tutoring and editing experience. While a student, I became a certified writing tutor through the Critical Writing Department. Since I completed my writing requirement at the University prior to matriculating, I was the first freshman tutor to be accepted into this selective program. The tutoring program involved a preliminary peer-tutor training course prior to beginning tutoring, in order to certify that I...

In my previous job, I worked at a Lego robotics school and I taught kids how to incorporate Legos into STEM related concepts as well as NXT programming. I have also worked at my school's tutoring center where I tutored my peers in subjects like Physics, Calculus and Computer Science. My hobbies include anything that has to do with Computer Science...

...with honors from Vernon Hills High School in Vernon Hills, Illinois. In high school, I was a part of a program that mentored underclassmen and tutored them in math, english and reading for standardized tests. I worked with them to prepare for testing. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I can help students connect conceptual ideas with how to apply them and solve problems. I am a firm believer in "practice makes perfect"....

...love of places, peoples, and cultures both near and far that I learned young while describing my family history - with a father from Cape Town, South Africa, and a mother from New Orleans - to others.

In my spare...

...help your child excel in his or her future. At the same time, I also understand that there are many different factors that motivate a child in his studies. I think it's important not just to drill facts into students, but to help them appreciate how their studies will have a real effect on their lives. I hope to make the learning process not just a chore that is forced upon them, but a perceivable...

...to be a compoundable skill. For students learning to read and write better, I believe it's all about structure. There are simple constructs of idea, speaker, and audience that must be conveyed in an essay. An author utilizes these same focal points to craft a powerful written work. When an assignment comes along, the anxiety to perform that it creates can nullify the student's mastery of these three basic ideas. My job as a tutor...
