Award-Winning Science Tutors serving Paterson, NJ

...school in my home city of Braslia, Brazil. Since then, I have worked as a learning support paraprofessional, a private tutor, a graduate course assistant, and in a few weeks I will begin work as an instructor of Neuroscience for two of Columbia University's pre-college summer program courses. My approach to learning is fueled by curiosity and direct application of abstract concepts and content into real life situations or problems. This approach fosters an interdisciplinary...

...and standardized testing. After college, I spent two years working as a biology teacher at a top charter school in NYC where my classes ranked #1 by test results. I left teaching to pursue a role as a financial analyst, but I have maintained a full roster of 1-1 private students since. I truly love working with students to help them achieve more than they (and their parents) thought possible. Let's get in touch to...

...learning. I started reading Harry Potter when I was five years old; I was the only child in my Kindergarten class to have private advanced math lessons. When I was unable to sleep, I read trivia books and fun fact encyclopedias. None of this is to brag about my intelligence, rather to demonstrate that all my life, I have had a passion for knowledgeto learn as much as I can. As a tutor, I want...

...my graduate studies at Fordham University and received an M.S. in Secondary Science Education. I am currently certified in New York State for Biology 7 - 12 and am pursuing a secondary certification in SPED 7 - 12.

...foundation, each of my students can then develop effective academic strategies and succeed. I am a recent Bachelor of Science from Cornell University, where my studies revolved around applying life science research to health and social studies. I have served as an undergraduate teaching assistant for several courses, and specializes in 1-on-1 tutoring for introductory biochemistry. Biochemistry is my favorite because of how many other disciplines it synthesizes. After achieving a 38 on the MCAT...

...background, I also carry an academic background in biology and am hexa-lingual. Upon my arrival in the U.S., I obtained a degree of B.S. in finance from Rutgers University and have worked within the financial industry as a financial analyst as well as as an accountant for over ten years. Nevertheless, I have always carried a profound interest in teaching and tutoring throughout my career while working on Wall Street and within the financial industry....

...five years now. 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...

...significant part of the tutoring experience if they are not the primary force behind solving the problems they bring to me, and as a result I consider myself as more of a resource to guide the student to the right solution rather than a solution manual to consult or a teacher to recapitulate a lecture. Of course, if what the student needs is a further explanation of lectured material, I am also happy to provide...

I will work hard and efficiently to help you improve your test scores, studying habits, and grades. My teaching philosophy is very much similar to a lot of my science professors. "Do practice questions. Do practice questions. Do some more practice questions!" Since I like to have concepts...

...subjects since! I specialize in mathematics and science tutoring as well as standardized exam preparation. In the past, I have helped students achieve significant improvements and success on the SAT, SHSAT, Regents and other exams! I truly believe education is a mutual learning and teaching opportunity and enjoy helping my students achieve a thorough understanding (those "Aha!" moments) and appreciation of whatever they choose to study! In the future, I seek to pursue clinical and...

I am currently studying Economics and East Asian Studies at Columbia University. Outgoing by nature, I have a teaching method that is very interactive. During a tutoring session, my students should expect a dialogue rather than a lecture. I have a background tutoring Math and Mandarin Chinese to students ranging from Elementary School to College.

...I started working in biomedical research during my sophomore year and continued throughout college. After graduating, I worked in ophthalmology research at Washington University Medical before moving to New York City, where I am currently conducting breast cancer research as the lab manager in an immunology lab at Columbia University Medical Center. I am extremely comfortable with physics and mathematics (from my studies) as well as biology, chemistry, and biochemistry (through my research experience) and...

...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 have also held other paid and volunteer positions since then, and...

...over seven years and with a Bachelor's degree and Masters in environmental engineering, four years of industry experience and five years as a professional sailor, I have a lot of appreciation for how the world around us works.

...on my Doctorate in Pharmacy. I specialize in test prep such as SAT, ACT, SHSAT, etc. but am more than capable of teaching a variety of subjects. I have been tutoring students since middle school and have found that "practice makes perfect" is the most effective philosophy when it comes to learning. I love being able to help people, and the satisfaction of helping students excel in their studies provides me the incentive to give...

...know how difficult advanced science and math classes can be on top of other studies, and I am really looking to work through these issues with potential students. I am available for sessions in biology, chemistry, physics, as well as a range of math levels. I am also available for SAT, PSAT, and ACT prep. I have ample experience with academic writing, so I can work with students through many different types of assessments. I...

...the MCAT. I began tutoring over 8 years ago, and I've since taught a number of subjects across student ages ranging from middle school to post-graduate levels, mostly focusing on STEM subjects such as math, chemistry, physics, and engineering. I have discovered that teaching is a passion of mine, and plan on going into academic medicine in the future so I can incorporate this passion into my medical career. Besides tutoring, I enjoy reading, binge-watching...
