Award-Winning SAT Tutors in Morris County, NJ

...mathematics, so it is much more than a job to me. To watch someone learn is an amazing opportunity to witness the beauty and power of the human mind. As a teacher and tutor, I am responsible for bringing about genuine interest and appreciation of the educational material being disseminated. Remaining sincerely enthusiastic about mathematics along with demonstrating patience and caring ensures my students' willingness and desire to be educated. Each and every one of...

...at the middle school, high school, and college levels, and I have a proven record of success in helping students on a one-to-one basis achieve their goals. My teaching approach is very much tailored to each student's individual needs. I'll take the time to know you and what you want to learn before the tutoring begins, so as not to waste your time going over things you already know. I firmly believe that writing, reading,...

...math lab tutor in the college, I've taught hundreds students over the past 20+ years. I have experience with younger students (elementary school) from the after school programs and summer camps. Also, I have experience with junior and senior high school students. Of course, been a college math lab tutor, I gain some valuable experience working with the college level students. I also learned a lot from the students I've taught. To me, teaching is...

...experience. For the majority of my professional career I worked for Pearson Education, the largest Educational publisher in the country. There I worked alongside teachers and professors to help write and develop some of today's most cutting edge educational texts and technology. While working at Pearson, I continued to consistently tutor after working hours and on the weekends, and continued to do so after leaving Pearson. I have experience tutoring in all areas of the...

...a year. Now I am going back to graduate school for Computer Science. I worked for "Say Yes to Education" for a year to help urban high school students to prepare for the SAT test and New York State regents in the Syracuse area. Helping students to work out questions with efficient methods instead of feeding them answers is my teaching strategy. With six years in higher education, I do know how to deliver my...

I enjoy working with people and helping them understand things they didn't understand before. I like to make learning fun and enjoyable, while maintaining my professional composure. When students see their scores and understanding increase after working with me it makes me smile. I enjoy seeing the faces of students who "get it" after I have a tutoring session with them. Seeing that light bulb go off makes my day. ... I believe in teaching a student the best way they can learn. Some students like verbal explanations. Others like to read their information. Some like to take notes while doing either. And some like to do all - listen, read and write. I adapt to the student's style.

...set. Complete explanations, which I review with them, point by point, are printed on the back, first by me, and then, by imitation, by them. I stress the quality of each of these seemingly obvious steps, because the effectiveness of my method depends upon all of them working together. I insist on a minimum of three problems reviewed in one session and focus on the student adopting the method of short, very frequent review of...

...approach, nothing is too hard to understand. Writing is my favorite subject to tutor, because there is no endpoint, and anyone can always be a better writer. It is amazing to see some students discover their voice and personality through what they previously considered to be boring essay assignments. Outside of academia, I enjoy comic books, traveling, sketching, and acting. I also like trivia and have been a contestant on a TV game show.

...pride myself in being well-rounded in my academic pursuits, and the subjects I teach range from mathematics to the sciences, along with geography, critical reading, and writing. Not surprisingly, my favorite subject to teach is biology, mainly because of the strong and long-standing personal interest I have had in the material, a passion that many students find infectious. I am a firm believer in taking a more hands-off approach to teaching, namely by letting my...

...promise it really isn't so hard! After all, mathematics is really more about ideas than about arithmetic. Ideas that inform our existence, that permeate our universe, that make up the world around us. I strongly believe that a STEM education is best served by focusing on the concepts, not mundane calculations. There is no better feeling than having a difficult concept "click" -- that a-ha! moment is worth the hours of struggle, and it sticks...
