Award-Winning Writing Tutors serving East Orange, NJ

...essays or songs -- around these intersecting identities and the ways they impact my interior and our exterior worlds. Apart from my end-all goal of cultivating spaces with other like-minded artists and teachers (the healers) for our people to be seen and heard, I'm out here continuing to lay the foundation for individual narratives, like my own, to be honest sources of light for kids, artists, and anyone else who needs it. I consider myself...

...on the hard sciences. I've taught students of all ages in the past and I believe it is important to curtail your teaching methods to the student's favorite learning style. Whether you're a visual, auditory, or tactile learner (or some combination of all three!), I'm confident I can assist you in understanding and mastering difficult concepts! I plan to matriculate to medical school in the summer of 2014 after taking a gap year filled with...

...humanities and foreign languages. Students at top high schools like Stuyvesant and Brooklyn Tech are especially engaging to work with due to the challenging nature of the material and the lively mind of the student. In addition to my own tutoring practice, I've also been director of a non-profit tutoring center. Under my administration we tracked students' scores and attained the highest average grade increase in the program's history. By guiding other tutors and consulting...

...minor in French. I've been a passionate wordsmith all my life - I'm a thorough reader and an articulate writer and I'm excited to help you develop in these areas. I am also a fluent French speaker; I worked as a tutor for beginning classes in the Dartmouth French department, and spent the past year in France teaching English to middle and high school students. I look forward to helping you however I can!... Students must...

...especially enjoy tutoring in the areas of English, literature, and writing. I believe in creating a specialized tutoring plan to address the particular needs of my student. My emphasis is on creative (and hopefully fun) learning techniques that engage my student and help him or her confront problem-solving in a way that best suits his or her learning style. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy reading fiction, going to the movies, and spending time...

...retention organization. I enjoy working with teenagers and young people to help them succeed at short term tasks as well as strengthen their skills and confidence over time. Given my experience, I know what students need to be prepared for college and how to get them to that level. Whether it's test prep, essay writing, history content or study skills, I can provide the extra push for students to realize their full potential.

Hello! I am studying political science and statistics, and I will be working in finance after graduation. I also have strengths in Spanish (I studied abroad in Spain), standardized tests, and test taking and organization skills. In my free time I love to run, spend time with friends, and travel. I actually think standardized tests are fun and I would love to help you learn to feel that way too.... I believe that students should be...

...anything related to writing or the arts. I did a creative seminar at camp with a small co-ed group of young students, and the poems and thoughts some of those children came up with were simultaneously moving, insightful, wacky, and hilarious in a way that the best adult writers could only hope for. The best part of it all was that it was the writers themselves, not me, who insisted we get up on stage...

...in determining where you'll go to school and who you'll become as an adult; and I also know how much having someone to guide and help you through the process can make a difference. Having been fortunate enough to have dedicated teachers and mentors help me through my own education, I want to do the same for you! Whether it be test prep tricks and tips, working on college essays, formatting resumes, learning to interview...

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!

...blogs and panels. Long-term engagement with evolving philosophies of education helped me establish a conceptual foundation of contemporary ideologies and approaches. This ground-up familiarity with modern tutoring methods/resources enables me to cater my approach for each session, especially in the small-group instructional environment. As a counterpoint, my work with Breakthrough gave me the opportunity to scale my mentorship skills to a larger audience, as well as adapt my approaches to a new demographic (public/charter students...

...juvenile justice system. I greatly enjoy teaching the LSAT and helping people to become better writers. I took the LSAT three times through self-study and previously taught LSAT classes through a large test prep company. I understand what it is like to struggle through the LSAT and come out on the other side successful. Through teaching I have learned how to help students carve their own path to success and look forward to helping students...

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.

...enjoyment of language, literature, history, logic, and long distance running. I am a firm believer in the power of education to bring people together and also bring solutions to many of the nation's and the world's troubles. I also like to keep learning fun and always enjoy turning challenges into puzzles. In my spare time I like to read, cook/bake, compete with my running club, and explore New York City. I also work as a...

...of subjects. Although I am passionate about all of the subjects that I teach, I have always been especially interested in Biology, and I love working with students to see the big picture connections between the facts of life. In general, my tutoring style focuses on drawing generalizable principles out of the material to help a student internalize and fully absorb content, which I believe makes learning a rewarding activity in its own right. In...

...I've always loved spending time with and teaching my younger sister and cousins. In the past, I have volunteered at my local library and have worked with the preschool and elementary student's summer program. In this summer program, I assisted with helping the children with crafting, reading and other activities. I have also been teaching karate to children for the past 5 years. I love teaching English and Math. I also particularly enjoy teaching Standardized...

...gap year, I taught introductory chemistry lab for science majors at Grand Valley State University. After some self reflection I decided medical school was not the path I wanted to take and decided instead to move to New York City to pursue my other passion of performing on stage. However, due to my background in academia and teaching, I desired to maintain plugged into that world in whatever way I could. That is how I...

...a school librarian at a large Catholic high school in Queens, where I work and team up with teachers to help students learn about research and academic writing. I also work with students one on one to encourage reading and a love of books. I work frequently to help struggling readers find books that will help them gain confidence and make reading a part of their lives. I love my job; I am passionate about...

...interested in studying environmental science, and Russian. Throughout high school I volunteered with various organizations to help teach students everything from French to Taekwondo. I am most interested in Russian and Math, but tutor a wider range of subjects. I genuinely love learning, and I try to help others understand why certain subjects appeal to me, with the hope that they find their own reasons to be interested in the subjects. In my free time...

...something that I have not yet achieved. I believe it is this drive that allows me to pursue my passions, both academically and socially, and to be successful in both. I find that my greatest happiness comes in the form of little victories such as a good grade on an exam, or making a friend laugh! Its because of this that I really slow down and try to appreciate every passing moment because I believe...
