Award-Winning Summer Tutors serving East Orange, NJ

...students have shown great improvements in a variety of subjects, from SAT, SHSAT and Regents prep to Calculus, Physics, and Geometry. I specialize in mathematics, however, my writing and reading comprehension skills are of an equally high level. Having achieved top scores on both the SAT and SHSAT, along with various regents tests, I know what it takes to understand subject matter, and as a result, achieve high scores. I believe that everyone possesses the...

...also tutored at my college's writing center, working with fellow college students to improve and enhance writing assignments in all disciplines and to strengthen basic grammar and organizational skills.

...strengths. Through patience and hard work, they can improve in areas they don't feel as comfortable and eventually gain the confidence to take any 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...

...should be meaningful and enjoyable and that any academic task is part of a student's personal journey of discovery. My undergraduate education at Columbia University gave me a thorough understanding of British, American, Latino, and African-American literature. My Master of Arts program in Adolescent English Education at Hunter College has enhanced my knowledge of literature while also covering the teaching skills that allow me to help students to master difficult concepts. I am a confident...

...children in East Harlem. I am now currently the 7th Grade Math teacher at a middle school in the Bronx. Math is one of my passions, although I have a strong liberal arts background as well.

I enjoy getting to know students on a personal level, enabling me to push each...

...to successfully demonstrate their knowledge. Through the use of formal and informal data collection, I am able to evaluate my successes and failures. Just as I say to my students, "failure is not final". Using my data, I am able to model resilience to my students by adapting my approach to best meet the individual needs of the student. In addition to my aforementioned pedagogical toolkit, I am a passionate learner. WIth my varied educational,...

...go. Once the map is marked and our sail is set, and our goal is set, then we can go ahead and chart our path, and do what we need to do to achieve that goal. If you have a homework you need help on, perfect. If you have an exam to study for, perfect, show me your notes and homework and we'll go over them and I'll make new questions for you. If you...

...achievement and standardized test prep, no two winning strategies are ever exactly alike. Because every student learns in their own unique way, my teaching style is designed to pinpoint each student's individual strengths and weaknesses to develop a customized tutoring experience. My 3+ years of experience as a science teacher in Morningside Heights and beyond have made me appreciate the power of one-on-one instruction and the great advantages that exceptional grades and test scores can...

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!

...my greatest strength is that I am not a textbook. I'm here to make even the driest material interesting and personally relatable, and to talk out difficulties when they arise. I hate memorizing, and would much prefer to make everything from Biology to History into exciting (if very small) stories that are not only easy to remember, but actively difficult to forget. I've had tutors that I hated going to, and tutors that I enjoyed...

...earned my bachelor's degree in Public Policy from Stanford in 2011. I enjoy the opportunity to work with clients as they apply to college and graduate school, by helping with both test prep and admissions essays. I approach my tutoring with an open mind and work with clients to develop a preparation strategy that works for them and support them as they execute it, making changes as necessary. I like to help clients discover strengths...

...writing skills, interested in growing your vocabulary and perfecting your grammar, or need some help with English class, literary analysis, or essay editing, I would love to help bring out the best in you as a reader and writer. If you're in the first few levels of French study and would like help improving your spoken, written, and reading skills, I can help with that, too. If you have a standardized test coming up, I can...

...I start my tutoring sessions with a simple and individualized evaluation—sometimes I will look over students’ past work or practice tests to supplement a discussion about goals for our time together. Once we move on to subject material, my approach is to start with what students already know. When we’re faced with a seemingly impossible essay prompt or test question, we always have piece of knowledge that can help. I help students learn how to...

...own writing with a fervor that I am excited to pass on to my tutoring students. My experience grants me the unique experience to speak directly and frankly to students who might otherwise not actively participate in the writing process or who might not clearly understand how an English education can benefit their own life. In my free time, I practice computer programming for emerging technologies (wearable devices such as Google Glass) and continue my...

...6+ years of experience tutoring in STEM and Humanities from grades K-12. I also have experience tutoring in college level Biology and Chemistry classes. As a NYC native, and a Bronx High School of Science graduate I understand that students are constantly under pressure and competition. My goal is to make sure students understand and believe in their own prowess while continuing to improve their skills and capacities. I hope that we will have an...

...passions. My students have known great success from elementary upwards: I have helped 1st graders write their first book reports, trained 3rd-grade spelling bee champions, taught a 5th grade class in which 100% of the students passed their TAKS and 47% of whom received commended status, coached a middle-school research team win a statewide environmental impact competition, and even helped students with applications to both college and graduate school. As a teacher, I developed a...

Last year, I worked as an English teacher in Tokyo. There, I cultivated a student-centered teaching style, where I serve as a guide for my students. I absolutely love to teach. I'm from Portland, Oregon, and in my free time, I love to read, write, and watch sports.

...that it defines and shapes the way in which we go about our business navigating through the world. My admiration for its profound impact in this manner has only become stronger over the years. We use mathematical logic to arrive at unassailable truths about the world, algebra in representing mathematical language, and probability to make educated guesses on given occurrences. It goes on and on! Working with math is a fun, unique experience that I...

...science. I hope to start a Masters of Science abroad in the following fall. Humans are so lucky to have a capacity for reason, so we can explore the infinite content of the universe. I love to draw out that love for learning in students, even ones who seem to feel discouraged or insecure in their lack of understanding. All people have a capacity to learn everything from classical composition to theoretical physics. It's only...
