Award-Winning Summer Tutors serving Essex County, NJ

...Economics, the SAT and ACT, and Literature. In my experience as a tutor, it is important to be patient. Not only must you understand the material, you must also understand how your students learn and adapt your teaching method to their needs. It also helps if you can make the subject matter as interesting as possible, so it doesn't feel like work to them. I look forward to working with everyone this year!

...important. Then, I work with students to help them understand the central concepts. Once students understand the central concepts, the details easily follow. I also have my students work through as many problems as they can on their own. When a student has struggled through a problem and succeeds by themselves, they learn more than they possibly could through an explanation. I then work with my students on the problems they could not accomplish to...

...my students led me to believe that I, too, could return to school! Shortly after I moved to New York City, I started Graduate School at the City College of New York where I am pursuing a Masters in Education to work in Bilingual and TESOL classrooms. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, and from living and learning abroad I understand the great difficulty and joy of learning a new language. My experiences have...

...experience as a teacher and student, I firmly believe that excelling at school not only leads to great academic opportunities, but also an essential sense of self-esteem and accomplishment. I believe that every student has the potential to achieve amazing things, and I will guide each and every one of them to that.

...of understanding subjects, rather than rushing to the answer. I have always believed that the confidence students have in themselves plays a big role in learning, whereas fear and anxiety are a hindrance to learning and memory. This is a key player when it comes to exams as well. My main goal is always to help the student to learn how to maneuver through problems and obstacles even if they haven't come across them before....

...address any paper problems you might have and make the writing process less intimidating. Aside from academic papers, I also write comedy sketches and spend most of my free time improvising and creating webseries with friends. Performing as a comedian may not seem connected to my educational philosophy, but I think many of the skills you learn as an improviser translate well to test taking. Staying calm under pressure and adjusting your strategy to meet...

...in Biology with concentrations in cellular and molecular biology with genetics. During my enrollment, I participated in graduate level classes at the medical school, participated in on-campus research, and completed my studies after just 3 years. I've always had a love for biology but that is not my only area of specialty. Math studies from elementary levels through calculus are one of my strong points as well. I believe that with my tutoring, as well...

...sensitivity to the joy that comes with learning. That joy - much the same in the processes that bring joy of games - is to be found everywhere in the nature of the human brain; a living computer; a vast of potential of weighted logic gates which give rise to the substance of what we call learning when we - by our activities - so organize them. Even the most bizarre or inspired art -...

...Emory University. Throughout my undergraduate years, I worked as a Biology teaching assistant at Emory (leading review sessions in the advanced and introductory courses). Today, I mainly tutor students in Biology-related courses, including Human Physiology and Neuroscience. As a medical student at New York Medical College, I hope to offer students interested in a career in medicine additional breadth and specialized mentoring. Moreover, I also enjoy writing and would be more than happy to assist...

...which allows them to enjoy learning once again. I am a firm proponent of education believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students while also showing them that going back to the basics and having fun while doing homework and studying for tests is absolutely possible and necessary in order to succeed in school. In my spare time, I...

...years, I participated in a variety of teaching and leadership activities. I was a chemistry lab TA where I instructed weekly labs. I created lesson plans and taught at an after-school environmental science club. I lead volunteers on service trips across the country and eventually became an executive board member of Alternative Spring Break developing student leaders to facilitate social justice issue trips. I love learning and am excited for the opportunity to share my...

...or she does, it is extremely rewarding for the tutor, the parents, and the student. I like to instill confidence in my students as well as help them understand the academic lesson at hand.

...of Rhode Island. I have a few years of experience as a tutor at my university, mainly in Anatomy and Physiology. I am also able to help with Writing, Study Skills, and Organization. I believe understanding how each student learns individually and adapting to that is the most important quality that I have as a tutor. Learning how to be organized and how you personally learn best is the key to being a successful student...

...at school, I know students can sometimes lack the motivation or energy to want to continue learning, and I try to make the experience as enjoyable (while still educational) as I can. I incorporate a lot of technology, through the use of my iPad or laptop. I allow students to supplement their tutoring work with educational applications, websites, and video clips. I like to use as many hands-on activities as I can. I also think...

...Writing. I am a part time poet with works published both in online and print magazines, as well as a full time recruiter in the fields of Finance and Business Strategy. I have a large range of tutoring and teaching experience in subjects ranging from Calculus, English, Economics, Test Prep, and Writing. I also have classroom experience as a substitute teacher at St. Ann's School in Brooklyn, and experience teaching children from ages 4 to...

...of comprehension, and my understanding of the subject matter has often improved as a result. My general approach in tutoring physics and math is to emphasize the theory behind whatever subject the student may be dealing with. Once a student firmly understands a physical or mathematical theory it is much easier to understand the formulas and applications behind the theory. Examples are key in understanding this type of subject matter and as such I greatly...

I love constantly learning new things in both of these jobs, and hope my passion for learning is transferred to my students. As an older sibling, I've...
