Award-Winning Test Prep Tutors in Paterson, NJ

I've always known I wanted to teach. Once I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology/Neuroscience, I decided to pursue a Masters degree in Education.

I find that when the tutor has a chance to zero in on and accommodate a students' individual needs and learning style, the experience becomes more productive and enjoyable for everyone involved.

...to be a French professor after graduating. I am fully prepared to help anyone from the lowest level to a very advanced one, with the language (reading, writing, speaking) as well as the culture (delving into classic French Literature and cultural differences). Additionally, I have spent a lot of time around Math and am prepared to teach any level between basic and higher level high school Math. My interests and hobbies include: figure skating, guitar,...

...have been tutoring since I was in high school, and I find it very rewarding to watch my students improve through our work.

...SAT, the AP, the Regents, or even the CogAT. Additionally, as an alumnus of my school district's 3rd-8th grade "gifted" program, I learned the value of cultivating creativity. I'd like to pass on what I've learned in those formative years -- the early assignments and projects which have led to who I am today.

I never had more than 15 minutes with a student, but my job depended on my ability to help them understand a concept, whether it was algebra or organic chemistry. I also worked with the Compass 2 Campus program, where I tutored and mentored middle school students from low-income schools. I always like to get to know the students I work with. I love hearing about their goals and...

...Students must feel comfortable enough to express when they don't understand a concept - no matter how seemingly insignificant. With the information my students relay, I can tailor each session appropriately. Ultimately, I want to give my students tools that will help them succeed in their academic careers. Oftentimes, half of the battle with learning anything new is overcoming the fear of being incapable or of failing. I hope that through the techniques I share,...

...by incorporating media, hands-on activities, and experiential learning. I also build in educational games and choices whenever possible. I have firm boundaries and high expectations of all my students. In teaching, I strive to have close relationships and open communication with the families of my students, and I hope to achieve the same with the families of students I tutor. I strongly believe all students are capable of learning and achieving their goals. I look...
