Certified Tutor
Lauren
BA Northwestern University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Northwestern University, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Education and Social Policy, as well as a second major in Gender Studies. Since graduation, I have traveled around the United States and Europe, and worked on political campaigns and immigration research. My tutoring experience has included working with underprivileged children as part of an after school program, and acting as a teacher's assistant and after school tutor at a private college preparatory school. While I tutor in many different areas, I would say that my passion lies in helping students learn how to read, as well as creative and persuasive writing. It is in these areas that I have had the most success--as well as the most fun-- teaching both academic students as well as those preparing for entrance exams such as the ACT and SAT. I love being able to impact my students' lives in a meaningful way through enriching their educational experience. In my spare time, I am a crafts enthusiast, usually working on multiple sewing and other projects at once, reading fantasy and science fiction novels, and following Formula 1 racing.

Kyle
BA Yale University
6+ Years Tutoring

I am a current student at Yale University pursuing a degree in English. Since I was little, writing and storytelling has been one of my biggest passions. Though back then, I often told stories to my friends and family as though they were truth, once they helped me find the page I've had much, much more success. I have been tutoring kids since I was in high school, but I've also spent many hours working with kids on the baseball diamond as a coach, as well as as a camp counselor. My philosophy is that I know how hard and difficult (and sometimes annoying) high school English and History classes can be, and my goal is to try and bring a little fun back into the material while making sure we do what it takes to master your craft as a budding young writer, whether in a rhetorical analysis of Pride and Prejudice or in your CommonApp personal essay.

Marc
BA Duke University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am in New York City studying acting, and I want to bring the same energy, enthusiasm and compassion that is required on stage to my students. I have experience tutoring for the SATs, and I have had significant experience serving as a mentor to younger students, particularly in the university setting. I love coaching and helping students discover their intellectual passions. Most importantly, I am thrilled by the prospect of helping a student set concrete goals and progress towards actualizing them in an academic realm. But above all I want to work with students to help them develop strategies that are personally effective and furthermore that link their passions with their education.

Samuel
BA California Institute of Technology
6+ Years Tutoring

I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

Pranav
BA Johns Hopkins University
8+ Years Tutoring

I am currently an undergraduate at Johns Hopkins University working towards a degree in Biomedical Engineering. One of the most rewarding aspects tutoring is helping students arrive at that "Eureka" moment when the concept or idea they have been trying to understand suddenly clicks. I hope to be a mentor to students as I draw from my own experiences, having been in the same shoes not long ago. I enjoy tutoring all subjects, particularly math, physics, and biology.

With over 11,590 students in the area, we work with families from elementary through high school to provide personalized support tailored to each student's school and curriculum.

Whether your student needs support with literacy, math, science, or test preparation, tutoring addresses gaps and builds confidence aligned with NJ curriculum expectations.

Union City students frequently seek support in math, English language arts, science, and standardized test prep (including SAT and ACT). Many families also connect with tutors for ESL/English as a Second Language instruction, reflecting the diverse linguistic backgrounds of our community.

The first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's current level, learning style, and specific goals. The tutor will ask about academic strengths and challenges, review any recent schoolwork or test scores, and create a personalized plan to address your student's needs.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 13:1 in Union City schools, personalized 1-on-1 tutoring provides the individualized attention that classroom settings can't always offer.
