Award-Winning Tutors serving Clifton, NJ

Hi! I'm Steven. I'm currently an undergraduate student at Rutgers University. I have an interest in STEM, but specifically in physics and astrophysics, which are the fields I'm majoring in. In the past school year I have dedicated my time to tutoring elementary and middle school children in New Brunswick, as well as expanding the tutoring program to a local elementary school. I am eager to help any students learn and perform better in school!

Hi, I'm the philosopher they call Andrew! You are most very definitely welcome to come to me with any school questions, but be warned: there's a good chance we'll soon be figuring out the meaning of life...

...perspectives and learning strategies that will reinvigorate your relationship to the material and improve your grades dramatically. Sometimes all that is necessary for an academic breakthrough is seeing old material from a new vantage point! I know the importance of developing a strong and functional rapport with students. During my time as a Substitute Teacher and as a one-on-one Guitar Instructor, I have learned techniques and strategies for successful and patient engagement. I will create...

...rewarding for both my students and myself. I am passionate about helping students because for me, there is nothing better than being interested in learning. To be able to encourage another person's education experience is an amazing thing, and the happiness a student feels when he or she has their "lightbulb moment" is profound. My teaching style is heavily personalized. It is important to establish the student's individual, unique learning style and cater the tutoring...

...with whatever concerns or problems they might have during the school year. I tutor a variety a subjects but mainly focus on all levels of math up to calculus as well as all sections of the SAT I. A reason I like tutoring math is that for the most part, once you learn any material (and I mean really learn it), you are more often than not going to remember it for the rest of...

...understand the importance of connecting to one's students and developing a strong relationship, which fosters the student's growth and improvement. I always focus on my student's weak areas in order to help him/her strengthen them. I also work with them to understand why they are having trouble. I try to approach the problems in different ways to allow my student to think about the problem from different angles, and I help my students think logically...

...I grew up in Minneapolis, MN (by way of Palo Alto, California). I graduated from Northwestern University in 2014, with a B.A. in Theatre, and a minor in American History. I love working with students of all ages, and helping young people on their own personal paths to success. I'm a huge baseball fan (my team is the San Francisco Giants), and am passionate about my craft of working professionally in theatre and film. In...

...for my entire life and int hat time have gone to school on the upper west side for both elementary and middle school and attended Bard High School Early College II for high school, where I accumulated 48 college credits during my time there. I studied ballet for eleven years at the School of American Ballet and in my free time play tennis and like to play bridge. I am always looking to help students...

...expertise is letters, words, sentences, paragraphs- how to create them, decipher them and think about them. If you have any problems with math, please do not consult me! Anything more advanced than multiplication tables is completely out of my jurisdiction. However, any struggle with the English language is firmly within my ability to remedy! I take a strong academic and social interest in global events, history, psychology, and much more. I constantly search for new...

...AP Calculus, and AP US History exams. This is in addition to serving as Class President in the Student Government. The medical profession is a long journey with many tests along the way. The key to success as a student is to have a goal, stay structured, and find ways to make the learning fun and enjoyable. This approach has helped my former students improve their test scores and get real results.

...Adelphi University and a B.S. in English Education from NYU. While attending school, I worked with graduate and undergraduate students on their college writing assignments. Prior to this, I was a 7th grade English teacher working with younger pupils on grammatical structure. I think it is important for students to have confidence and feel relaxed in their approach to writing. The best way to improve in writing is to consistently practice and understand the importance...

...sharing that love and knowledge. Progressing through courses of mathematics teaches much beyond what is on the page. It teaches problem-solving, critical and creative thinking. I try not only to teach the mechanics of math, but instill an appreciation for the skills the process can develop. And while math is my favorite subject to tutor, I have had training in and am qualified for all sections of SAT and ACT test prep, and enjoy working...

...physics courses, since I've always hated hearing people say "I hated physics in high school" or "you have to be a genius to study physics", the latter of which is certainly not true (trust me). I think, when done properly, teaching physics to students for the first time can be unbelievably rewarding. I love giving students a better understanding of the world around them, and helping them to appreciate all the science behind the technologies...

I have been teaching students for the past ten years. I love watching a student grow and achieve their goals! I have worked as a teacher and school administrator, but my real passion lies in working with students one-on-one. I graduated with a degree in Journalism and History from NYU, and love working with students on math, reading, and writing.

...law school after I graduate. I've done paid and volunteer tutoring for three years, across a range of ages and subjects. I've earned consistently high scores on my ACT and AP tests, and I'm comfortable teaching advanced math (up to calculus 3), biology and chemistry as well as ACT/SAT test prep. Besides teaching higher level math and science, I'm comfortable and have experience tutoring elementary and middle school students in all subjects.

I am currently studying at Columbia University and am excited to help others reach their academic goals on Varsity Tutors.

...I particularly enjoy tutoring for the SAT and other standardized tests, because I believe that with enough practice and some solid test-taking strategies, anyone can master these. As a former Division I runner, I've learned the importance of persistence and hard work, and I love sharing these values with my students and helping them to make significant gains. Outside of tutoring, I work as a scientist at a healthcare startup, and when I'm not at...

...writing sections in high school, and I empathize with students who struggle with that format, with students who have trouble narrowing their ideas into one single-letter answer. My teaching technique is one that Ive learned from favorite teachers over the years, one that inspires focused, investigative, creative learning: Im committed to the belief that the only way students learn is by by doing. I ask questions, I guide, I challenge, and I direct, but I...

...that could be derived from literature, and articulating those ideas through written or verbal communication. When I began teaching, I emphasized to my students the importance of these skills, and assured them that the ability to read, write, speak, and listen proficiently would provide them access to opportunities and expand their conception of the world. My teaching reflects my belief that other writers can develop a strong sense of self-efficacy given encouragement and the resources...

...should have been. I have a lot of experience with teaching and tutoring in math and science. I also am well versed with SAT prep in test-taking strategies and time management on the test, as well as creating a plan leading up to the test. Before studying at Columbia, I was a Nuclear Electrician in the Navy for six years. My experience taught me the value of patience, determination and sacrifice. It also taught me...
