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.

I am most passionate about history, but I really enjoy math and writing too.

I am a junior at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania studying Economics, Finance, and Business Analytics. For the last few years, I have been helping students with college application and test prep help, such as college essays, common app, and SAT/Subject SATs. I came from a high school where these resources for college and SAT prep were not as readily available, so I want to work towards making college more accessible by helping students with their application. Past students of mine have gotten into NYU, UMich, and Georgetown. Hobbies: art, travel, books, reading, writing, traveling, music, dancing, running

I'm a start-up consultant. I've always enjoyed teaching, however, that's why I like tutoring. I've a teaching assistant many times over, both in undergrad and grad school. I've also been a private tutor since high school. My goal is help you achieve, if not exceed your own. I believe in using a student's background and interests to help them understand concepts they may not grasp upon first review. I'm always available as a resource online when there in person. I really do enjoy tutoring, and I can't wait to be yours. Hobbies: reading, music, painting, art, books, writing

Whether your student attends a public elementary, middle, or high school in the area, we can match them with a tutor who understands the local curriculum and New Jersey educational standards.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is specifically designed to address gaps and accelerate learning in ways that align with New Jersey's academic standards. With an average student-teacher ratio of 15.5:1 in Plainfield classrooms, tutoring provides the individualized attention students need to master grade-level content and prepare for state assessments like NJSLA and AP exams.

We understand that Plainfield families juggle school schedules, extracurriculars, and work commitments. Tutoring sessions can be scheduled around your student's availability—whether that's after school, weekends, or during breaks—with personalized instruction that fits your family's routine.
