Award-Winning Science Tutors in Plainfield, NJ

...sports, traveling, spending time with my family and friends, and partaking in new activities that I have yet to become involved in due to time constraints. For instance, after graduating from college, I have so far had the chance to work with children as a lifeguard at a private day camp and as a volunteer at Celtic Charms, a therapeutic horseback riding center for the physically and mentally handicapped. Considering that I thoroughly enjoy teaching...

...instruction. I am also a trained and qualified SAT / SHSAT Tutor as well as a graduate of Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. When I am not at school, I love relaxing with my fiancee and our two cats - Biscuit and Pumpkin - at our home in Astoria, watching football, playing video games, going to the gym, and listening to all different kinds of music. I am really looking forward to helping you rise...

...first discovered my love for teaching when I was a Teaching Assistant during college. I love working one-on-one with students in efforts to help them gain a better understanding of the subjects they would like to master. I believe each and every student has unique learning requirements and I strive to meet these needs by modifying my teaching method in order to best benefit my student. I am very patient and I always like to...

...science and math classes were my favorite subjects because they made the most sense to me, but I understand that they can become very challenging very fast. My past tutoring experience involved mostly mathematics tutoring in subjects such as geometry and algebra, but I feel just as confident in my knowledge about the science courses to be equally helpful. As a tutor, I like to get to the core of the problem that my students...

...am a graduate of Allegheny College, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and minored in English. I am currently enrolled at the City University of New York, where I am working as a graduate student for a PhD in biochemistry. I mostly tutor science and math, both of which I enjoy thoroughly. My goal as a tutor is to help my students in understanding and gaining interest in the subjects instead of...

...naturally to some than other, it's a skill that is learned with practice, patience, and the right support. The same is true for standardized tests like the SAT and the GRE. You have to learn how to take a standardized test as much as you need to learn the actual material you're being tested on, and that is something I try to focus on with my students. In my spare time, I am teaching myself...

...a Harvard graduate and a former high school science teacher with Teach for America. I'm in New York studying theater and voice but miss my science classes and students like crazy! I'm particularly strong in biology but also totally comfortable with chemistry, English and writing, social studies/history, and test prep. As a teacher my style is to help students discover the answers on their own, and become more confident in their ability to use critical...

...prepared me to tutor a wide variety of subjects. My favorite subject to tutor, however, is Writing. I tutored students in Writing for three years at U.C. Berkeley, where I was able to share my passion with hundreds of people from all walks of life. I am excited to continue to do so with Varsity Tutors. In my free time you will find me rock climbing, listening to music, reading, or hungrily pursuing the best...

...learned. Memorization of material without truly understanding concepts is not learning rather, it is a dangerous road that leads to falsehood of knowledge. My goal as a teacher of any subject is to assist the student to come to their own conclusions through the analysis and use of underlying concepts. The independent determination of concepts marks the skill of learning. It must be known that this is not an easy thing to accomplish and struggling...

...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 Studies through the Writing Center at the Juilliard School, and I continue to teach lessons in music. My enthusiasm for working with students continues to grow as I meet more capable, intelligent young people who often...
