Award-Winning Organic Chemistry Tutors serving Clifton, NJ

...teaching and tutoring since 2002, throughout college and grad school and while doing neuroscience research. I love tutoring one-on-one because I can get to know students and gear the lessons toward their interests, which helps them learn more quickly, retain new skills better, and enjoy the tutoring sessions more. I particularly enjoy teaching science, writing, and test prep. With test prep I've found that supplemental work on fundamental skills helps students improve their scores much...

I love helping people learn more about subjects that I find interesting and am passionate about like math, biology, and chemistry. I have taken math courses through Calculus III, chemistry courses from General Chemistry I through Organic Chemistry I, and biology courses from General Biology I through Anatomy and Physiology. I was a TA for a genetics course and am...

...Chair of my fraternity, I held informal tutoring sessions for younger pre-med students for eight total hours per week. In small study groups I answered questions on biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, and physics, often employing diagrams and visual aids in my teaching. In addition, since high school, I have always been someone that friends entrust to look over and critique their papers before they submit final drafts. My teaching style features visual learning, mnemonics,...

I am currently studying Economics and East Asian Studies at Columbia University. Outgoing by nature, I have a teaching method that is very interactive. During a tutoring session, my students should expect a dialogue rather than a lecture. I have a background tutoring Math and Mandarin Chinese to students ranging from Elementary School to College.

Though born and raised and still in NYC, Sherry loves traveling. Besides traveling, she loves reading, drawing, playing guitar,...

...a recent graduate from Stony Brook University and have received my Bachelors of Science degree in Biology. Over my undergraduate career I have tutored many different students ranging from grades 4-12 as well as several college classes. I have always loved being able to work with a student or colleague to find the right answer of a difficult question. I tutor math (Calculus, Geometry, Trigonometry, Algebra) as well as SAT math, English, and science (Biology,...

Aside from being an avid scholar, I am a world traveler and enjoy trying new things! I also love to run, draw, read, and cook, either with friends or simply by myself. I stay in shape both mentally and physically: I am constantly training to be my best. Whenever the opportunity arises to help elevate someone, I take it. Helping a student reach their goals is equally as rewarding for my student and myself.

...thought process becomes cloudy when a student looks at a problem or standardized test. I target this thought process and ask questions to guide the student to think about a better way to approach the problem. This way, the student is able to come up with the answer rather than have me tell them how to solve it properly. I mentored 5th and 6th graders when I was finishing up middle school and served as...

I am a recent NYU grad, who studied Global Public Health and Biology, with a wealth of knowledge to share!

...and work experiences have allowed me many opportunities to work with other students to create and support our own creative platform. Through networking with mentors and advisors I have been able to direct, produce, and edit my own visual and audio works digitally. I've had several articles and radio pieces published in the university's newspaper. These experiences have assisted me in honing my communication and leadership skills. My greatest joy, however, has been mentoring peers...

...from Cornell University with a B.S. in Natural Resources. Upon graduating, I joined Teach For America as a middle school science teacher working in a public school in the Bronx, New York. I taught sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth grade Math and Science for six years before enrolling in a Post-Baccalaureate program for health sciences professions at Rutgers University. In this one year program, I am taking pre-requisite courses to be eligible for medical school....

...currently a pursuing a Bachelors of Science in Public Health and a Minor in Biological Sciences on the pre-medical track at Rutgers University while conducting research at Columbia University's Department of Psychiatry. I am looking forward tutoring others like myself! Early in my undergraduate years, I struggled greatly with courses and recently I have achieved 4.0 semesters in my more difficult upper-level science courses for Medical School. I really value and appreciate reflection, understanding our...

...music nerd; I love finding new artists and I play the drums myself. My teaching philosophy is heavily influenced by my engineering education. I rely on a Socratic, discussion-based method where I encourage my students to not only work through problems but to explain them back to me, to help build confidence in their own understanding of the material while cementing concepts in their minds. I also heavily emphasize developing intuition as opposed to rote...

...currently an undergraduate student at Brown University through the Program in Liberal Medical Education (PLME), working toward my bachelor's degree in neuroscience while completing pre-med requirements. Over the past few years, I've gained experience tutoring a wide range of students from leading neuroscience review sessions and chemistry workshops to teaching piano and violin both privately and in group settings. I also work as an academic tutor through university programs, focusing on subjects like neuroscience, biology,...

...born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. After graduating from Whitworth University in Spokane, Washington, I moved to Phoenix, Arizona where I taught high school math at as part of the Teach For America program. Beyond the classroom, I pushed students to succeed as both the JV football and basketball coach at my high school. I moved out East last year to continue my education and am about to begin the second year of my...

...comes to teaching, I think the key to success is to show the student how interesting the subject material they are studying can be when applied in real world setting. All of that being said, I am well aware that the most important thing for the majority of students is the grade they get in the class/test they need help with, and I like to give advice on studying/test-taking strategies to ensure that the student...

I love Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Psychology, and Math. Its great fun to be able to teach what...

I have a passion for teaching. I have spent the last sixteen years teaching students of all age groups, including K- 12, college, and graduate students. I work well with students because I have the ability to make them feel at ease. In addition, I help students break down problems into simple components, which enables the student to understand how to go about solving any problem. ... My teaching philosophy is to assist the student by...

Hi! I'm Lillian. I graduated with a BS in Human Physiology and a MS in medical sciences (3.9 GPA!). My strengths lie in the math and sciences. Studying can definitely be hard sometimes. I think it's important to figure out the best strategy that works for each student, for each subject. I believe in you! Looking forward to our tutoring sessions together.

...and have textbooks as clear as yesterday engrained in my head years after learning them is because of taking time to break concepts down to their simplest ideas and building upwards. By breaking complex concepts into their basic subunits, and explaining the purpose of each unit and how and why it works, it creates connections in the brain (schema) and writes into long term memory. Most of my students have mastered concepts so much, after...
