Award-Winning PSAT Tutors serving East Orange, NJ

My goal is to help foster a love of learning and work with those I tutor to both learn from them and help them learn themselves. I love to teach and learn, and I hope that that is passed on to those I tutor.

...Brooklyn College, I taught essay writing to students who were in an in-between state: not quite full-fledged college students, but eagerly ready to leave high school and its rote ways of thinking behind. In the first weeks at Baruch, I realized something very important: we are always a little in-between places, and we do not altogether leave the "old" house when we move into the "new." I increasingly understood teaching to be less about the...

...finding ways to help students get the education they need. I've interned with the NYC Department of Education, the European Grassroots Anti-Racist Movement in Paris, and political campaigns here at home. I am a strong believer in the idea that a great education can change a child's life, and I plan on making a career of helping make sure that all students in the United States are given a fair shake. I'm a big reader...

...I have not yet achieved. I believe it is this drive that allows me to pursue my passions, both academically and socially, and to be successful in both. I find that my greatest happiness comes in the form of little victories such as a good grade on an exam, or making a friend laugh! Its because of this that I really slow down and try to appreciate every passing moment because I believe every moment...

...on to the best schools in the country, including Harvard University. I have worked with students who struggle with learning differences. Outside of tutoring, I am a published author and translator who likes to write about science. I graduated magna cum laude with highest honors in the Literary Studies program at Middlebury College. I played basketball for three years there, and I still love watching the game. I am a meditator and yoga practitioner who...

...in test prep. With them I learned the value of working one on one with students to identify how best they learn and help them master their own learning style. I went on to work for another, more individualized company as a lead academic tutor in test prep and multiple subjects. I was recruited by an online tutoring firm to write and perform their ACT prep video series. I currently assist students in Liberal Arts...

...completed one semester of a Visual Arts Degree. During my doctoral studies I taught and tutored a range of political topics that covered issues of government, public policy, popular culture, international relations, and structures of power. However, my true specialty is essay writing. In addition to running workshops on essay writing and preparing graduate students for the written component of the medical entrance exam, I have written, assessed, and edited hundreds of essays and other...

I received my Bachelors degree in electrical engineering from Manhattan College, New York, and right now, I am pursuing my MBA degree from Louisiana State University. As a tutor, I am a firm believer of the motto "Face it! Ace it!" This means that we can work together to make your academic weaknesses into one of your strengths.

...look forward to working with you! I have over four years experience with tutoring, and this experience allowed me to work closely with children of all ages on various assignments. I was able to offer my assistance and teach effectively and efficiently without simply giving the correct answer. The key to tutoring is to reinforce material in a way that the student is led to solving the problem on his or her own rather than...

I am a professional musician with a passion for teaching music and math. My favorite part of tutoring is getting to know students and watching them achieve more than they thought was possible. I like to take the fear out of math and try to convince everyone that math is very fun and engaging.

...editorial skills gained from a longterm media and publishing career print and digital under the top editors in the world (Tina Brown, BBC, Hearst+ in New York and London), pre and post an Oxford MBA. Left brain and right brain, I teach through story, allegory, analogy and metaphor, which is how most people engage and learn. Comfortable and experienced working across age-groups: Elementary, Middle School, HS, AP, College, GED, standardised tests (SAT, GRE and GMAT+)...

...particular emphasis on the Modern Middle East and US-Turk relations. As for teaching and outreach: Ive found that making the material pertinent and connecting it to who you are and where you want to be will make it come alive. Hence, in tutoring and teaching I enjoy teasing out the material into a story. That way we have something to entertain us as we build a timeline and craft a memory of the past, of...

...in English from Douglass College at Rutgers University, and my Masters in Education is from Rutgers, Graduate School of Education.

...do this with organization and learning needs, too, not just math and English content. I am also versatile and flexible; I can work on all sorts of content and handle unknown problems. I can teach you how to do that, too. I also have a great deal of experience working with students with special needs. I have been trained in some workshops, but I have only experience, not a license, in this area.

I love musicals and technical theatre as well! Glad to meet you!

...It is never 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...
