Award-Winning Social Studies Tutors serving Newark, NJ

"I am still learning" - Michelangelo age 87 In order to learn you have to want to learn, but that's easier said than done. My philosophy is that there is always something that can motivate you to learn, whether that be better career opportunities, higher test scores, or simply wanting to be a better you.

When not teaching and studying, my hobbies include working in Theatre doing everything from acting to set building to grant-writing.

...that success (whether it be small or large) is largely dependent on three factors. Planning, practice and timing (all of which falls under the umbrella of responsibility). And those are things that I target in my tutoring. So when you receive a lesson from me, you'll see that it's more than just rote section after section. It's more meaningful. Maybe you'll even learn a couple life lessons (I know I did). So take a leap...

I believe that communication and flexibility are key to successful teaching.

...the better grades, which is why I'll make sure you learn the subject well and come out of your course with the better grades.

...lessons to fit the needs of each individual student. Ultimately, I believe that the ability to excel in educational pursuits rests largely on mental strategy, organization, and skill, all techniques that are very teachable. While absorbing content is important, the way we look at the question being asked and the way we understand the test itself is just as crucial to success, especially in standardized testing. Therefore, no matter what subject I tutor, it is...

...major in creative Writing and Journalism. I have been a private tutor for the past three years, tutoring math, English, and writing.
