Award-Winning Physical Chemistry Tutors in Bergen County, NJ

...in the human body, which makes it really fun to tutor them! My tutoring style focuses on the student taking ownership of the material. To me this means that the student is learning the material in a way that is the most optimal for them, and in a way that ensures that they can apply their knowledge meaningfully. Outside of the classroom I love to go on long runs in central park, read, cook fun...

...academic success. And so, I am more than happy to share my study strategies, techniques, and tips with students. My strengths lie within the sciences (e.g. AP Biology, Biochemistry, AP Chemistry), followed by mathematics. I also enjoy teaching and tutoring Latin. Believe me when I say it's a beautiful language! During my pursuit of an M.D. degree, I have acquired a minor of Psychology, which has taught me to help others with a holistic approach.

My name is Aaron Jackson. I am a student at Columbia University in the City of New York studying biochemistry on the pre-medicine track. I also enjoy meeting new people, exploring world cultures, and developing my sense of self.

...best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do...

...on their time constraints, goals, and extracurricular obligations. I provide resources and mentoring to help master content as well as develop study strategies, since a fair part of success is knowing "how to take the MCAT". Afterwards, we typically go through applications, revise essays, and I help fine tune personal statements based on the students strengths and how they align with the schools they are applying to. My additional experience with ACT and SAT tutoring...

...as making sure that the students I taught grasped the fundamentals. Though that was my initial intent, I got to learn so much more. I got to learn how other people approached problems and learned many new ways to solve problems through their creativity. I also learned many recurring misconceptions and common mistakes that students make. The most important thing I got from tutoring at Pacific was the enjoyment I got when I saw the...

...graduate student at Columbia, receiving a master's degree in chemistry and serving as a teaching assistant 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...

...each concept inspired me to want to help students as well. Hence, I became a tutor at the learning center and helped students struggling in Biochemistry, Microbiology, and General Biology. Over the years, I have tutored students in Elementary school and High school in subjects such as Algebra, Geometry, and of course, the general sciences. Working with these kids has taught me that the more you extend yourself to your students, the more they are...

...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, and hierarchical organization of material. I find that hierarchically cataloguing information by topic and sub-topic helps students retain material, as students are not simply memorizing, but are understanding how concepts relate to one another. More personally, my...

...peer tutor. In these positions, I found great gratification in seeing a student have an epiphany in learning. I promote this learning by making analogies and other connections that the student not only relates to, but also finds interesting. In this manner I am not only able to make lessons exciting, but I also become energized myself. In the end my student always leaves with a fresh perspective, added strength in a previously weak subject...
