Award-Winning MCAT Tutors in East Orange, NJ

...from elementary school Math to High School English Literature to college level biology. I work with my students on what they are learning using the materials and the style your professor/ teacher prefers because I want my students to ace their tests and assignments! I took the MCAT exam for medical school, scoring in the 96th percentile and the 100th percentile (perfect score) in the psychology and sociology section of the exam. Since taking the...

...Sciences seeing as those are the subjects I will continue to pursue in my own life. I have also had particular success in prepping students for test taking by using my extensive experience in this area to assist my students. I would describe my teaching style and philosophy as a development of mutual respect; I have come to understand that a student's respect for learning is often a reflection of his or her teacher's attitude...

...love to take advantage of this amazing city with my friends. My favorite courses in college were neuroendocrinology and psychology. What I've learned in med school about the process of learning is that one needs to approach the material in a way that makes the most sense for that individual. Whether it's visual, auditory, or kinesthetic, there's a "best way" for each student. I will work with you in whichever way you learn best. Teamwork...

...in general chemistry courses, before I found that my real passion was for teaching. Since then I have been a substitute teacher for middle school science and exploring other science teaching and communications opportunities. I was a chemistry and philosophy double major in college and my approach to teaching has always been creative, patient and interdisciplinary. I am an expert science and math tutor, as well as general test prep and study skills.

I was a tutor in high school when I tutored fellow high school students who were falling behind. Being a great tutor is about listening to and understanding the tutee. Beyond a thorough understanding of the concepts being taught, a great tutor must be able to connect with the person they are teaching in order to best convey the concepts in a way the student will understand.

...student. In college, I studied biology, chemistry, physics, and Spanish with a biology major and chemistry minor. I also spent 6 weeks studying Spanish in Ecuador. I really enjoy helping others learn Spanish, and my second favorite subject would be any sort of biology or related topic. I hope to help you reach your goals by helping you work through the learning process rather than just giving answers, and hopefully we can make it interesting...

...in Dermatology and I look forward to serve my community and help others who may be on the same path I was. I enjoy teaching others and as a student and now a physician, helping other obtain knowledge is very rewarding and it is something I truly enjoy. My approach to teaching is helping students understand the big picture and then dive into the smaller details. I believe in constant feedback and repetition as well...

...also enjoy helping students prepare for standardized exams for undergraduate and graduate school admission. In addition to my private tutoring activities, I was also a TA to an introductory science course at Cornell. In this position, I lectured weekly to a section of 15 undergraduate students and learned how to engage students in course material. In my free time, I enjoy cooking new recipes, competitive swimming, and tennis. Please feel free to reach out; I...

...I received a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry, with honors. At Providence, I tutored general chemistry to freshmen in the individual and group settings. In my sessions, students used problem-based learning for better understanding of the subject and to strengthen their problem solving skills. I really enjoy helping students tackle this oftentimes challenging subject and grasp difficult concepts. Chemistry is a subject that builds on the previous learned skill, so when necessary, I will always...

...rigorous system of meta analysis and self reflection that will help you achieve your short and long term MCAT goals. The MCAT is widely considered the hardest graduate level exam in existence. The scope of the exam is extraordinary and easily encompasses 4 years of college biochemistry degree courses. To me however, earning a high MCAT score is similar to a feedback loop. Test takers can set week by week goals focusing on high yield...

...and tutoring ESL professionals and native English speakers for over 14 years, which I love. I work as a Professor of Composition and Literature, and currently tutor two ESL professionals. I have also taught Speech, Psychology and Theatre on a collegiate level, as well as lower level English, ESL, Composition, Speech, and Theatre. I am available to tutor these subjects, along with other Humanities, from five years old through high school, college and beyond, including...

...a one-way stream of information. I will be asking you a lot of questions along the way. The two most lessons that I teach to my students: 1. tolerance of uncertainty; and 2. confidence in your own self-efficacy. Everyone can attain mastery. I never doubt. Anything can be learned, if you breathe, accept that you are a beginner, and give into the process. To learn how to learn, that is my secret and that is...

...language and literature, which is my second major at my university. I developed this passion at a young age, but mastered the language during my semester abroad in a language-immersion program in Toulouse, France. In addition to my wide range of academic interests, I have recently completed the MCAT, the placement exam for medical school, and am very familiar with standardized testing strategies and study methods. This may be a broad area of study, but...

...expected of a student in an anatomy or physiology course. The key is not memorization, but pacing yourself, practice and placing key concepts at the beginning and end of each session. Having a basic understanding of how our brain memorizes and processes information is an essential prerequisite for all students. I have over 5 years of tutoring experience from medical school in subjects including Anatomy, Physiology, Pharmacology, Microbiology and many other health sciences courses.... Effective learning...

College undergraduate majoring in economics and minoring in psychology. Interested in the fields of math and psychology. Looking forward to meeting new people and learning together.

...and assertive. These aspects of my personality have been effective in my prior teaching experiences. I have always dedicated time to tutor younger classmates during medical school which has helped me tremendously in retaining the material. After I have taught a particular subject matter, if my student can teach the subject matter effectively back to me, then the material is better retained. I have passed multiple strenuous nine hour United States medical licensing exams, and...

...Arts in Neuroscience. Since college, I have tutored elementary school students in Math and English; high school students in Chemistry and Physics with learning disabilities; and college students in Neuroscience. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about General Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Neuroscience. In my experience supporting struggling students, we always seem to have the most fun figuring out stoichiometry, metabolic reactions, neurotransmitters and more in prepping for college exams....

...Health. While at Cornell, I was a teaching assistant and also spent time tutoring young men for their GED exams and fellow students in Biology and Chemistry. I currently tutor various subjects, but feel most strongly about Biology. I also find that I enjoy tutoring for MCAT preparation, as I understand how difficult the process can be, and wish to help others in the way that my own MCAT tutor helped me.

...and tutoring experience includes working as a physics teaching assistant for three semesters, tutoring basic math and statistics to incarcerated individuals through the Cornell Prison Education Program for two semesters, and instructing an MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test) Preparation course through Examkrackers for a semester (which included the Biological Sciences, Organic Chemistry, Physics, Chemistry, and Verbal Reasoning). I keep coming back to teaching because I love working with students and seeing them reach their goals....

...Cornell University, with a degree in Human Biology, Health, and Society and a minor in Health Policy. I am currently a 4th year medical student with plans to pursue Ob/Gyn after graduation in 2022! For me, tutoring is one of the most rewarding opportunities!
