I started helping struggling students when I was in school myself. I have been tutoring successfully for many years: developing students' critical thinking skills, helping them to improve grades, preparing for tests. I teach through understanding, not memorization and repetition. I present topics from different perspectives. I teach how to solve a complicated problem by changing it to a series of simple ones. I find the best explanation for each student by using individual approach to their ... Read more

Dedicated and Passionate Spanish and English Tutor

I am a Rutgers College graduate with a B.A. in English. My philosophy about writing is one that was passed onto me by Professor Dowling at Rutgers. Write like you are having a formal conversation. The biggest mistake I see students make in writing is that they make it too complicated. Students often manipulate and use unnecessary words in an attempt to sound sophisticated. When they do this they often sound foolish and their good ideas are lost. My goal is to get students to simply expr... Read more

I have taught a lot of subjects in the past including SAT math/English, organic chemistry, biology, chemistry, cell biology, physiology, MCAT prep, precalculus, algebra, and pre-algebra. I really enjoy teaching very much and I have been tutoring since my freshmen year of college. What I value the most is helping students understand and critically think through a problem. It is very rewarding to see students work through a problem by thinking out loud about it. My goal as a tutor is to be a g... Read more

I enjoy helping others learn to learn, in a variety of subjects; I love the "A HA" moment when a concept or subject becomes clear to the student. I don't like "giving answers", but instead prefer to lead the student down a path towards their own realization of the answer (or answers). I am an engineer by education, and have over twenty years experience working in the technology industry. I also can tutor in the creative disciplines of photography, videography, video editing and productio... Read more

There is nothing that excites me more than watching a student's face light up from learning. My goal when I teach is to help a student achieve their potential by working on their confidence and motivation. I love to learn and I love working with students and the two together are a marriage made in heaven. After college, I spent many years teaching in public schools and then moved on to teach statistics and system development in corporate America. After retiring from corporate America, I r... Read more
