Award-Winning SAT Reading Tutors in Paterson, NJ

I began tutoring six years ago, and have been working with a variety of age groups and subjects ever since. I have tutored in elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, and colleges. In college, I majored in Philosophy and minored in Physics and English. I'm excited to work with students and help them learn in their own individual ways!

...admission to top-tier universities and can use my personal experience in my tutoring. Most relevant, I have been recognized by the University of Pennsylvania for my writing ability and am employed at our Critical Writing Center. Here, I advise both undergraduate and graduate students on their academic and professional writing, editing and proofreading for grammar, logical coherence, and persuasiveness. I love my job at the Writing Center and enjoy the one-on-one time I have with...

...it is my major and I am personally interested in it. I have been tutoring for the past three years and have found it extremely rewarding for both my students and myself. I am passionate about helping students because for me, there is nothing better than being interested in learning. To be able to encourage another person's education experience is an amazing thing, and the happiness a student feels when he or she has their...

...at the high school level! My approach to tutoring has always been about understanding each student's individual style as a learner to create lessons best-tailored to his or her specific needs. I try to foster an environment where open communication is emphasized and the student feels comfortable and motivated. Outside of the classroom—even though I was born and raised in Manhattan—I love spending time in the outdoors. I am an avid rock climber, and enjoy...

...political science, having been an AP Scholar in those subjects. I currently work as a university tutor for essay writing and LSAT prep, following my work at Hunter College High School as a teaching assistant for 7th grade social studies and as a tutor for individual students for primary school math and science courses. Raised by international travelers and humanitarian workers, I have grown up in the midst of political turmoil during my time living...

...interest. When it comes to standardized test preparation, I've found that knowing the intricacies of a test can improve a student's score just as much as knowing the subject material can. Different students learn in different ways but that kind of personal attention is difficult to provide in a classroom. With one on one tutoring sessions, any student can excel, even in the subjects he or she has the most trouble in. When I tutor...

...Hill before starting law school at Georgetown in 2011. While in law school, I became a much more organized and effective thinker and explainer. In other words, I became a much better teacher. Law school gives you the skills to tailor your argument to the person in front of you. And I think this is what makes a good teacher. People learn in all sorts of ways, and it's the job of a good teacher...

...answers allow me to tell great stories and (hopefully) increase the level of knowledge among the public. As a recent student myself, I understand how the pressures of school can sometimes work against your innate curiosity. As a tutor, my goal is of course to help you maximize your success in school and standardized tests. But it's also (again, hopefully) to make room for curiosity, and to remind students, at least a little bit, about...

...complete a Post-Baccalaureate Pre-Medical program at Hunter College. I expect to enter medical school in 2016 and until then am enjoying this chance to pass on the material I've learned to other students! Since I came to the sciences a little later in life, I learned a lot of helpful tools and tricks to make these subjects more accessible and easier to remember. I myself am a visual learner, so I love to incorporate the...

...I come from a public high school of 240 students in middle-of-nowhere rural Connecticut. Plain and simple: I wouldn't have made it to Harvard without finding a way to enjoy studying for the SATs and other tests. My goal is to share that enthusiasm with my students. The test might be frustrating, and it might seem pointless, but I insist that every hour spent on SAT prep is a priceless investment in your future. (...and...

...test with ease and certainty. I am lucky to help students grow and flourish in many subjects and I enjoy working both with students who just need a little extra practice to students who are struggling in classes. Practice makes perfect and I utilize a mix of explaining difficult concepts and working through practice problems to help my students understand the material deeply and feel prepared and confident in class or during a test.... I believe...

...York. I am a physics major, considering a minor in math, and I love to teach. Physics and math are some of the coolest and most confusing subjects out there, and while it can be incredibly frustrating to struggle through a difficult concept, once it clicks, the payoff is fantastic you get to learn one more interesting fact about the strange world we live in. My job as a tutor is to help you understand...

...Civil Engineering. I've worked as a tutor for 3 years in a variety of math and science based courses. At school, I've always helped tutor my friends in the courses we take together. Learning their habits, strengths, and weaknesses has allowed me to find out how they learn best, and then tailor my explanations to that style. My personal strength in communication has been as asset in all my tutoring. Everyone learns differently, and that's...

...professional exploration. High school sciences have been a strength of mine since taking the AP exams in high school. Through tutoring, I have kept up to date with changes in the exam and curriculum. My proudest moment was when one of my Honors Chemistry students achieved a 13 point increase in grading from the first quarter of the school year - from 83 to 96. Through my professional and undergraduate education, I am intensely familiar...

...in English at New York University. After discovering that my true passion was teaching and not research, I went back to school and got my Master of Arts in Teaching. Since 2009, I have taught 8th, 9th, 10th, and 12th grades. I have also taught three different courses as an adjunct instructor. My educational philosophy is based on considering the whole student: what he or she likes, his or her strengths and weaknesses, his or...

...break from tutoring, which has honed my intuition for not only acing exams but for understanding exactly how to work with students of all backgrounds and temperaments. My teaching style involves Socratic Questioning and is highly interdisciplinary. 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...

...and Cellular Biology with a minor in Psychology. After graduation, I worked as a research associate at NYU Langone Medical Center, developing molecular technologies for molecular and cellular diagnosis of brain cancers. Now, I am in medical school in the 3-year MD program at NYUGSOM. I currently do private MCAT tutoring, and have tutored biology and chemistry at the collegiate level in the past. I am passionate about STEM, and am a firm believer that...

...a lot of theatre on campus, and I volunteered in pre-school and kindergarten classrooms. Last year I worked at a charter high school in Boston, MA that supplied students with in-school tutoring during the day. There I tutored Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Spanish and all high school levels of English. I also organized all of the clubs and activities for the school and led the choir. I would never describe myself...

I am a graduating senior at the University of Richmond, studying Communications and Media Studies with minors in Business Administration and Film Studies. I've worked as a Writing Consultant and Peer Advisor for the last two years, assisting my classmates with writing skills and career documents. I love helping students reach their full potential and devising fun ways to teach and learn.... I want students to achieve their personal best and focus on personal improvement. It's...

...train Taekwondo, play blues guitar (or bass, or piano, or saxophone, or drums), and read a good book. My tutoring philosophy is one of individualized attention and goal setting, where the tutor and the student work together to set realistic goals, and then identify the roadblocks preventing the student from achieving his or her goal. We then work together to surmount these obstacles, allowing the student to actualize his or her goal. I also try...
