Award-Winning Science Tutors serving New Jersey

...much lecturing on my part--instead I like to work through problems with the student. Depending on their confidence level in the subject, I will usually work out an example for them, asking questions along the way, and then prompt them to work one out themselves. Sometimes for physics problems, what can be most helpful for students is to talk through the situation presented in the problem and describe, verbally, concepts such as energy transfer and...

...the Fall of 2014. When working with students, I try to approach problems from various angles as often science has parallels in other fields. In addition, we all occupy the same world and therefore have some degree of intuition as to how things should work. I like to draw on that intuition to help students conceptualize various topics. I live to work and therefore give 110% in everything I do. I believe that we can...

...York University. Jordan has been tutoring students of all ages since 2015. His education in mathematics and physics has given him a strong understanding of tough to grasp concepts, and his calm and positive approach to teaching allows students to learn in a relaxed atmosphere. He has worked in the past for Varsity Tutors, a popular online tutoring website, and as a college tutor at the Tulane Success Center. When he's not working or in...

I am a health and behavior researcher and educator. I love teaching, public health, and psychology! I have taught many subjects including statistics and epidemiology to students of all backgrounds. I love helping people, and meeting them where they are in terms of knowledge, understanding, and comfort. Each person has strengths, and they can be applied to almost any subject. The challenge for tutors is to help connect each students' strengths with the subject matter.

...school career, I've spent a great deal of time tutoring/mentoring others as the president of my school's HOSA club. Here, I taught younger members subjects like medical math, biomedical science, pathophysiology, and more. However, my experience as a tutor extends beyond this; since middle school, I've been teaching elementary and middle school math and science at my local library. As a tutor, I'm passionate about math and science: this includes subjects from elementary math/science to...

...school at Rutgers RWJMS in 2020 and starting residency in Internal Medicine. I'm also a graduate of Columbia University with a BA in biology. I've always been interested in a wide range of subjects in school and love to encourage students to be enthusiastic about learning too. I often find that anxiety or fear are the first barriers to overcome in learning challenges. After that, hard work and lots of practice can conquer any difficult...

...and tutoring, I have held another full time job for the past three years, as well as becoming a small business owner. I do not have a plethora of free time, however when I do have a clear agenda, my hobbies include cuddling my cats, watching movies, going to concerts, traveling, taking photographs and sleeping. I take my work very seriously and dedicate my time to achieving goals, but I also have a goofy fun...

If students remain teachable and avoid shutting down, they will have the extra energy and potential to learn. In addition to the students' attitude, the teacher must be dynamic, allow relearn/retakes and urge students to get outside help. Hearing the same information from a different teacher can make a huge difference in retention.... The more and more I come across chemistry students, the more I see them trying to "rote" memorization. Since it is cumulative, you...

...of Astrophysics, simulating how the turbulent plasmas push protons and ions. I have also worked at the Norfolk State University Department of Engineering, designing, simulating, optimizing, and building light filters for wavelength-division optical-electronic multiplexers. Another field I study is the mathematics of quasicrystals and aperiodic tilings, such as the Penrose tiling of rhombuses. Outside of school I play the trombone and piano, and enjoy hiking and bicycling. I teach first aid skills and lead camping...

...to tutor that many students in such a short time because I excelled at teaching/tutoring and because I truly invested myself in my students' success. I'm bringing all that experience with me to Varsity Tutors. I am experienced in academic tutoring from grade school through college including graduate level. I also have experience working with students that are home-schooled - especially when it comes to preparing them for entering high school or college. While I...

As a college student studying to be an elementary school teacher, I have learned how to engage students in their learning by making them active participants. I believe that students learn by doing and a teacher is there to encourage and guide the students through each step of the way!... I believe that learning can be a complex process, and students need to be an active participant. The role of a teacher is to encourage and...

...be a junior in college, but to me, the magic of seeing my students' faces light up as they learn new information has not yet disappeared. I have come a long way since I accepted my first tutoring job - which was also my first ever job - in high school. I am now a state certified EMT and I volunteer with two different organizations, and I am studying Cell Biology and Neuroscience at Rutgers...

Being a doctor, I understand the importance of a great foundation of which an understanding of the basics in any field forms the bedrock of our knowledge in said field and the human body is no different. The basics clinical sciences are the very foundation on which every other knowledge stands on. I am honoured to be your guide to truly understand vital concepts to help you in your academic endeavours.

I am a senior in chemical and biomolecular engineering at the University of Delaware. I have tutored high school level math and chemistry as well as informal college level math and engineering. As a student myself, I understand the difficulties of math and science courses and over time have developed a method to approach any problem. By instilling a deeper understanding of the material, students can critically think about and dynamically solve any problem.... Understanding the...

I have a strong background in english/creative writing, reading comprehension, and science- specifically biology. I am passionate about being a tutor for students because tutors helped me all through my high school career and got me where I am today! I am currently in dental school in New York.

...complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope...

...Beyond tutoring science courses like biology and chemistry, I also tutor math. My experience, and success, taking AP exams, the SAT, the GRE, and LSAT also makes me a qualified standardized test tutor. In college I was a teaching assistant in a Vertebrate Biology laboratory course. I'm interested tutoring because I love helping people learn, grow, and become confident in themselves. Beyond the classroom I love the outdoors, frequently hiking, fishing, and exploring new areas.

...York City and in New Jersey. Although I was completely comfortable lecturing during my large classes, as an instructor, I made every effort to work one-on-one with my students during office hours and through appointments. I am currently working as a research associate, yet I plan on teaching at the college level again in the future. I would love to continue to hone my craft as a teacher and educator through working with Varsity Tutors!

...I hope to be a pediatrician in the future, but in the meantime, I love working with kids of any age. I have worked at Mathnasium for a year teaching many levels of math to students aged 6-15.

I love teaching math and SAT math the most...

...the subjects I enjoy most because they allow us to model and understand the world we live in. I have benefited from tutoring in the past, and I believe a mentor can help fill the gaps in a student's education. I do this by explaining concepts and ideas in ways that are easier to understand and relate to. Education is extremely important for success in life. Several members of my family have lifted themselves into...
