Award-Winning Tutors serving Linden, NJ

...join Varsity Tutors to re-inject that joy into my life. I have excelled on standardized tests and would love to use my experience to help others do the same. I really enjoy teaching LSAT, SAT and ACT because it is my belief that, with the right approach, anyone can achieve their performance goals. The LSAT...

...think the most important motivator in tutoring is to show my own enthusiasm for the subjects I teach. Breaking down a problem, and making "problem maps" for complex problems gives students a solid foothold to start and follow through a problem. Working examples using these maps during tutoring sessions is a good way to identify...

...me and made me love it. I then went on to take advanced math classes throughout middle and high school and then attend a technical university with a heavy math emphasis. I believe that many students are disinterested in academics because they feel discouraged, and I hope to turn this around in the same way...

...worked full time as a tutor and mentor in Los Angeles through AmeriCorps, a Federal service organization. Developing individualized lesson plans and designing specialized curriculum for gifted students is a strength of mine. I am currently a graduate student on the PhD track at Columbia University studying international development as it relates to urban planning.

...majoring in Computer Science. I've been tutoring for a few years and love working one-on-one or in small groups. I believe every person has a unique learning style, and as a tutor, I should be flexible and adaptable in the way I teach. Seeing the progress students make is rewarding, and in turn, I hope...

...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 work I'm likely...

...wide range of subjects. In subjects related to reading and writing, I focus first on the students comprehension of the material at hand and then help the student construct an analytical argument. In subjects related to math, I review the foundational concepts in a certain topic before proceeding to assist the student with specific example...

...the importance of visual learning. As a tutor, I try to figure out why a student does not understand a concept and immediately try to tailor my approach to fulfill that student's needs. I help the student relate science to their daily lives using stories and examples so he or she may gain a better...

...I'll be able to give you a specific plan tailored towards handling these high pressure situations. And I'm confident that it'll work for you. Personally, I believe that success (whether it be small or large) is largely dependent on three factors. Planning, practice and timing (all of which falls under the umbrella of responsibility). And...

...to actually getting through to a student. Instead, I believe it is the duty of a tutor to inspire his/her tutees with creative study ideas and helpful organizational skills that they will be able to implement on their own outside the tutorial session. I also believe that as a tutor it is my duty to...

...SAT 2. I also got 5s on the AP Calculus BC exam and the AP physics exams (including the physics C mechanics exam, electricity and magnetism exam, and the physics B exam). I try to teach the student to understand the concepts and to avoid memorization in order to better retain the material. Precalculus I...

...to naught if you don't have the confidence to apply it. I build up my student's confidence, not with platitudes or empty praise, but by having them practice and learn to believe in themselves. Too often, people are derailed by factors that have nothing to do with their intelligence or their ability. I am well...

...those areas. I also enjoy tutoring for standardized tests. While I was studying for the SAT, ACT, and MCAT, all of my preparation was through self-study; as a result, I have a unique approach to preparing for tests that emphasizes knowing the test itself more than the actual material. In addition to tutoring natural sciences...

...success. And so, I am more than happy to share my study strategies, techniques, and tips with students. My strengths lie within the sciences (e.g. AP Biology, Biochemistry, AP Chemistry), followed by mathematics. I also enjoy teaching and tutoring Latin. Believe me when I say it's a beautiful language! During my pursuit of an M.D....

I studied Sociology and Education Studies at Yale University, and I try to learn something every day! I hope to help you unlock the fun and rewarding parts of learning something new!

...approach that best caters to their needs feels awesome. As a tutor, I always ensure that my students have a good qualitative understanding of the subjects they are struggling in before helping them with quantitative problems. For example, rather than simply telling my calculus students the formula for integration by parts, I first show them...

I love learning myself, and enjoy making the act of learning for others a more gratifying and enjoyable experience!

...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...

...of teaching and every student has a different way of learning. However, it is important to combine the two to develop methods and take approaches in a manner which makes the students grasp and really understand the subject matter to his or her fullest potential. Education is so important and studying hard is the key...

...University with scholarship. I have tutored students of varying ages on various subjects and I have found that self-studying leaves gaps in one's knowledge. I enjoy challenging myself to explain difficult concepts as simple as possible to help students succeed. My favorite subjects are math and science and my hobbies include chess, running, and swimming.
