Award-Winning Reading Tutors in Trenton, NJ

...in college I did a teaching internship there and at my old high school. I also gained a lot of experience in 6 years of creative writing workshops. I was lucky enough to go to Interlochen Arts Academy to study writing for the last two years of high school, and I spent all of college continuing to rigorously study the art of writing and the creative collaboration/critical experience one gets from writing workshops. I also...

...worked at a public school in Harlem as the College Counselor working with students from grades 6-12. In my two years of experience, I have had the opportunity to network with college admissions counselors across the country, and I gladly connect my students to any college admissions departments I am familiar with. Although my tutoring specialty is test prep -- SAT, ACT, PSAT, SHSAT, and GRE -- I particularly love tutoring writing, and creative writing...

...American Government/Comparative Politics exams. I also offer ACT/SAT Writing, ACT/SAT Reading, SAT Verbal and ACT English tutoring. My approach to tutoring is centered on the belief that nothing is particularly difficult if you just break it down into small parts. For example, things like Advanced Placement tests and standardized tests when viewed as a whole can seem like daunting tasks which require lots of higher order reading, writing, and thinking skills. However, when they are...

...a little more challenging. Working as a tutor for biology, organic chemistry, general chemistry, and neuroscience, I actively implemented this philosophy, finding creative ways to approach complex concepts. For example, I might steer a writing student studying organic chemistry to explain a reaction as a narrative of molecular interactions, rather than beginning with a complex problem. In the context of shifting careers, I have also taken a number of standardized tests, including the SAT, ACT,...

My name is Chloe and I am an incoming senior at Case Western Reserve University. I am a BS candidate for Statistics and a BA candidate for Medical Anthropology. Furthermore, I am also a Masters of Public Health student at the graduate school.

...I have been recognized by the University of Pennsylvania for my writing ability and am employed at our Critical Writing Center. Here, I advise both undergraduate and graduate students on their academic and professional writing, editing and proofreading for grammar, logical coherence, and persuasiveness. I love my job at the Writing Center and enjoy the one-on-one time I have with recurring tutees. These skills would give me specific insight into the college writing style, particularly...

I graduated from Princeton University this past June. I got a BA in History and my NJ teaching credential for middle and high school English. I love working with young people and have experience with the humanities, writing, reading, and test prep. Outside of teaching, reading, and writing, I sing Hindustani classical music, listen to a lot of music, run, and bind books.

I'm currently a sophomore at Case Western University. Among my friends I'm the go-to guy for help before tests, and I tutored under my high school's National Honor Society for two years. I think learning can be really enjoyable with the right attitude - hopefully I can prove it to you!

...really enjoy helping students to understand literature and the writing process. I have had great success preparing for critical reading on exams and developing strategies for expanding vocabulary. When I'm not teaching, you can find me practicing yoga, gardening, and reading about diverse cultures, the arts and politics. I believe in education and most importantly, I believe in the unique genius that lies in every individual. I've tutored honors students in college preparatory programs as...

...with students, and those are the ones that I enjoy the most. Many people are scared off by those subjects, but I enjoy showing students how to simplify and master them. I have done some personal study in SAT test preparation and how to specifically teach students how to improve on all parts of that exam. When I am not tutoring or singing, I enjoy playing bridge and chess or being outside running or in...

...Science from Chatham University in Pittsburgh and my law degree from Ohio Northern University Pettit College of Law. My many years in education as a student lead me to my positions in the admissions offices both at Chatham University and Ohio Northern University. As an admissions representative, I have provided prospective students insight into the admission processes, shared the criteria admissions offices use to identify an ideal personal statement, and assisted students to refine their...

...By "confidence" I mean not only confidence in ones mastery of topical material, but, more fundamentally, confidence in ones ability to learn and think independently. As an instructor, I am dedicated to helping students succeed because I know from my own experiences as a student that, at every level of education, from elementary to graduate school, the support and encouragement of a passionate teacher can turn a diffident or apathetic underachieving student into a classroom...

...so rewarding that it set me on the path of education forever. Since then, I've enjoyed helping students learn in a number of different environments: from teaching the GED to service-work union members in Center City, to serving an at-risk population with English support in North Philadelphia. For all of my nerdy interests, I've been told I'm a very laid-back character. I value kindness and open communication between pupil and tutor. I want you to...

...and earned a bachelors in Biology. Since graduation, I have been volunteering my time tutoring with underserved populations throughout California and Pennsylvania. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Mathematics (all branches from Algebra to Calculus) and Science (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics). As a high school student, I vividly remember preparing for the SAT and hope to use the tactics that I learned to help other students who may...

...described as unable to function in a classroom, or incapable of meeting high expectations, and I have watched those students grow immensely when given the opportunity. The impact of a caring, positive environment of people who believe in a student cannot be overstated. One of my seventh graders, who had not grown at all as a reader after a year in a classroom setting, attended a small group summer program that I facilitated. Her teachers...

...I am a 4th-year student at the School of Architecture at Syracuse University. I plan to get my B. Arch and M. Arch to become a professor in the field, and pursue a personal design career on the side. I have taught at Kumon Learning Center for almost 5 years and have plenty of experience tutoring students with SAT test preparation. In addition, I have taken over 10 years in fine arts training and am...

...Jersey for the summer and studying for the LSAT (I plan to attend law school in a couple years) before starting a corporate management position here in the fall. Throughout college, I have been tutoring to help pay the bills. I have now worked with over 60 students! About half have worked with me to study for the SAT. I have also helped many students prepare for a variety of other standardized tests, including the...

...aged, elementary aged, and special needs children. I am comfortable working with various age groups and tutoring in all elementary subjects. During my student teaching I tutored several students in the areas of reading and math before and after school hours. I found this to be a very enjoyable experience and I loved being able to work one-on-one with the students. Additionally, last year I tutored a first grader in reading and phonics. I believe...

...March 2014, and will be finishing with a Bachelor of Biological Sciences, with a concentration in Evolution and Ecology. I firmly believe that every individual learns in a unique way, and I like to adapt my tutoring style to match. Throughout high school and college, I have tutored peers in a variety of subjects, covering most sciences, math, and writing. The subjects I enjoy most however, are those related to Biology or Physics. I spend...

...of strategies that my students are finding helpful. I prefer to test mastery of material via a role reversal in which I see if the student can teach me how to correctly solve problems and arrive at the correct answers. In my opinion, there is no better way to assess the depth and breadth of one's knowledge than to try to convey it to others. The study habits I hope to pass on to my...
