Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in New Brunswick, NJ

...is much less important than understanding the underlying concepts present. Having an understanding of these concepts will make the mathematical work that is involved much easier. The role of a tutor is to reinforce the instruction of a student's teacher and build up a base of knowledge with the use of real world examples. My teaching style is deeply rooted in the idea that each student is a unique human being who has to be...

I am a second year student at Rowan University, working on a dual major in Mathematics and Subject-Matter Education, with an Honors concentration. I tutor several subjects at college, and I used to tutor in high school through National Honor Society. I am working on a CRLA (College Reading and Learning Association) level 1 tutor certification.

I have years of experience tutoring college students in math (mostly calculus) and chemistry including both general and organic chemistry. In addition, I am very familiar with all sections of the SAT and ACT having prepared several high school students for these tests. I believe that every student is capable of boosting his or her baseline score on these...

...and strength for each individual. I then start from what you know and understand easily to what seems to be confusing or difficult to understand. I also make sure that as soon as a concept becomes clear, we move on to solve as many problems as possible relating to that concept for more understanding. I acquired most tutoring skills at PGCC and HU math labs (the schools I attended). The math labs were used primarily...

...believe that, while you may through luck or other unknowns, you may occasionally get a correct answer with the wrong process, you will be far more successful, and your thinking will be more confident and clearer by following a logical, rigorous process to get to an answer. You are also more likely to get more correct answers. Moreover, focusing on the process in solving problems will also aid in life in general. If one uses...

...While I am able to tutor a breadth of subjects, my favorite to teach is writing because it enables students to be creative as well as hone skills in articulation and argument. I always look forward to meeting new students and hope to encourage them in all of their academic and non academic endeavors because I firmly believe both are important. In my spare time I enjoy playing soccer, drawing, and curling up with a...

...while volunteering after work.

...attending New York University where I am pursuing a degree in Finance and Statistics. I have previous experience tutoring individuals in math, a subject I have always excelled at academically. My knowledge and interest in mathematics, makes it easy for me to frame and deconstruct seemingly complicated concepts and theories in ways students will be able to understand and remember. Outside of academia I enjoy playing tennis, going to movies, and spending time with friends...

...was the primary first grade Math curriculum planner for my school, as well as a lead planner for first through second grade guided reading. While I can tutor a broad range of subjects and students, my absolute favorite subject to teach is English, including both Reading and Writing, mostly because I find this subject to just be so enjoyable. I believe in a more Socratic and investigative approach to teaching as I think that the...

...come in for help whenever they want. I loved it. I discovered then that my passion is teaching. I told you my experience to start off to let you guys know that nothing is impossible and Math is FUN. You just need a teacher to make it that way for you and you will love it. I tutored Math and General Statistics for 3 years. I grew up speaking French. French is my native language....

...them, point by point, are printed on the back, first by me, and then, by imitation, by them. I stress the quality of each of these seemingly obvious steps, because the effectiveness of my method depends upon all of them working together. I insist on a minimum of three problems reviewed in one session and focus on the student adopting the method of short, very frequent review of the material, throughout the day. This technique...

...school students. I believe doing well on tests involves more than knowing the subject material. I emphasize test-taking strategies, like process of elimination, ignoring irrelevant information, and pacing. More than anything, I hope to help students build the confidence they need to ace their tests and succeed in college and beyond. In high school and college, my favorite subjects were in the social sciences, math, and Spanish. I also ran in my H.S. cross-country and...

I have been studying Spanish for nine years. As my college minor, I have taken advanced literature, communication, and writing courses. I also excelled in all my math and English classes, and was always in Honors/AP courses. I look forward to helping you succeed in your studies!

...mathematics, which I believe to be an exceptionally crucial skill to develop for any academic subject and for a more intimate appreciation for the intricacies of the world. I fervently prescribe to a teaching method that promotes a unique engagement, both between student and instructor and with the subject matter, in order to impart the very human and meaningful elements residing in the material. Outside my more scholarly pursuits, I am an avid reader, a...

In my spare time, I enjoy reading literature and criticism, swimming and sailing, camping and hiking, and, when I can, travel.
