Award-Winning Tutors serving Newark, NJ

...every week to teach students mathematics at my grandmother’s learning center, started an internship with Chess-in-the-Schools to help them start their College Bound tutoring program, and tutored and graded for the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. However, I was interested in other ways of learning and teaching that were less traditional, and I became a site leader for an Alternative Breaks trip to Nicaragua for Public Health and Education and became a Resident Assistant at...

...them to discover abilities that they might not even know that they possess. For nearly a decade now I have had the privilege of working with young people of all ethnicities at a local summer camp as a Drama & Music Specialist. This experience has become one of the highlights of my life. At the end of each summer I really feel like I am making a small contribution to my community and thus the...

...pass a test to become a ship captain. After he passed, I knew teaching was something I cared deeply about. I tutored my way through college at Wesleyan University, where I graduated with Honors. Now with five years of experience, I am prepared to teach on a wide range of subjects in a variety of styles. When not tutoring, I am a playwright and lyricist, working on my second musical; a drummer playing shows throughout...

...world calls it science. It has had many names throughout its long history, but it will forever be my fascination. Science involves pure rational thought and is viewed as unbiased and unsentimental. Therefore, association with such a compelling emotion is only acceptable when viewed in terms of its prevalence, and indeed, science has been an important part of my life. Raising me on her own and unable to afford a babysitter, my mother used to...

...Reserve University in 2013 with a B.A. in Psychology and minor in Marketing. I have always excelled in math and science courses, and in college, I tutored students in statistics and was a Teaching Assistant for Intro to Cognitive Science. I've also had many years of experience helping kids from elementary school to high school with their homework. When tutoring, I am to teach and guide students through problem-solving, without hand-holding. I'm very excited to...

...a focus on fluid mechanics and energy conversion. I have tutoring experience from my senior year in high school, when I ran my own test prep and tutoring service for sophomores and juniors. Most of my experience is in SAT and ACT test prep, but I have also done tutoring in the maths and sciences and English composition. While I am a Mechanical Engineering major, I have always had a profound appreciation for great literature...

I am a recent medical school graduate excited to spend extra time teaching and tutoring other students. I know how important it was for me to meet the right mentors along the way to college at Yale and to medical school at Stanford, and I would love to help mentor you along your journey, too! My hobbies include: running, take spinning and cardio kickboxing classes, listening to RadioLab and This American Life, and cooking.... Every student...

...Most recently, I tutored for Kaplan, teaching an MCAT preparatory course and working one-on-one with students. When not studying, I like to ride my bike, train Taekwondo, play blues guitar (or bass, or piano, or saxophone, or drums), and read a good book. My tutoring philosophy is one of individualized attention and goal setting, where the tutor and the student work together to set realistic goals, and then identify the roadblocks preventing the student from...

...English and American Literatures with a focus in Creative Writing. Upon graduation, I moved to Thailand to complete a yearlong Fulbright grant teaching English as a Foreign Language to 10th and 11th grade students at a large, rural, public high school. I returned to the states in October 2014 and moved to New York City a month later. I’ve taught a wide array of subjects ranging from workshops on Creative Writing and Gender Identity at...

...up my language skills while working and traveling to over 65 countries. My extensive linguistics knowledge coupled with my teaching experience allows me to help students struggling with learning Spanish; or writing college essays, term papers, dissertations or articles for publication; or organization skills to improve academic performance. Because of my varied travel experience I find it easy to adjust to students experiences and learning gaps in order to show them how to utilize the...

...teacher. I have taught chemistry, physics and environmental science at all levels including CP, Honors, AP and Dual enrollment. I have also taught IB Chemistry and IB Physics (SL and HL). In addition, I have tutored Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry, Pre-Calculus and Calculus. However, chemistry was my first love and it remains my favorite subject to teach. I have always loved science. But what I enjoy most is helping young people learn. I believe...

When I was in 8th grade, I was struggling with pre-algebra (I couldn't seem to wrap my head around distance/rate/time problems). I found myself loathing a class I had once loved. I started working with a tutor and going from barely getting by to being successful in that class was a very fulfilling feeling that I hope to continue to pass on to others.... The best teachers are always trying to learn as well.... Get to...

...skiing and hiking, and teaching archery to kids in after school programs. As your tutor, my job is to provide you with simple approaches that lead to dependable results. In essence, to "teach you how to fish". Your job is to learn "how to fish". If you're looking for someone to feed you, with no effort on your part, I'm not the tutor you want. But if you're looking for a tutor who can provide...

...Science and Business Analytics & IT. Some of the subjects I tutor are Algebra, Calculus I & II, and the SAT, but there are many more you can inquire about. I love tutoring students because I know how much a tutor can inspire a student to improve, and I hope to offer that to my own students. Some of my personal hobbies when not tutoring or studying are playing tennis and photography.

...their own understanding of the material while cementing concepts in their minds. I also heavily emphasize developing intuition as opposed to rote memorization. If a student can learn the foundational ideas that underlie the sciences, they will be able to work their way through any future problems based in those foundations. I also apply this philosophy to test prep, but supplement exam studies with a strong focus on test strategy so that my students can...

Hi! My name is River Knight. I'm currently a student at New York University. I've actively worked as a tutor for the last 5 years. I hope to help my students find the joy in what they're learning and give them tools to improve on their own!

...of their tutoring base, I instruct students in Math, Physics, AP Exams and most often, the SAT. I have obtained outstanding scores and am confident I can convey instruction and techniques that have worked for me. I have a solid foundation in the Spanish language and am completely fluent in German and Russian. I am interested in Biotech and I am going to be a senior at Princeton University majoring in Molecular Biology.

...I realize how much teaching is something I am great at and passionate about. I love to see my students excel and will work with them until they feel confident with their mastery of the material whether for a class or standardized test. I know that each student needs something different depending on their grade level, learning style, background, and academic goals and I tailor my teaching style to my students. My main goal when...

...more of my background: I graduated with honors from Wesleyan University in 2008 with my BA in Film Studies and then went on to complete a Post-Baccalaureate Pre-Medical program at Hunter College. I expect to enter medical school in 2016 and until then am enjoying this chance to pass on the material I've learned to other students! Since I came to the sciences a little later in life, I learned a lot of helpful tools...

...to play. Some kids love to sing, act, dance, draw, paint, or participate in other activities. I, however, was always defined simply by my love of learning. I started reading Harry Potter when I was five years old; I was the only child in my Kindergarten class to have private advanced math lessons. When I was unable to sleep, I read trivia books and fun fact encyclopedias. None of this is to brag about my...
