Award-Winning Physiology Tutors serving Essex County, NJ

...health and social studies. I have served as an undergraduate teaching assistant for several courses, and specializes in 1-on-1 tutoring for introductory biochemistry. Biochemistry is my favorite because of how many other disciplines it synthesizes. After achieving a 38 on the MCAT (99.1%), I began mentoring students on test preparation strategies. While planning to apply to medical school, I spend my time as a clinical research aide and a lead organizer for New York's Be...

...have provided for homework, and I will instruct the student on better and faster ways to solve the correct problems and demonstrate ways to approach the problems that they did not know how to solve. Additionally, I always find that my students have the greatest level of success as I foster great tutor/student relationships. I set high expectations for my personal academic achievements and expect the same from my students. I often serve as a...

...grade students at a school for underserved girls. I struggled a lot as a teacher in this environment. I had to witness the underfunded and crumbling infrastructure of the government school, had to overcome a strong language barrier, had to diminish the apathy that my girls felt for the English language, and hardest of all, had to confront the realities of how the struggling lives of my students outside of school influenced their attitudes inside...

...graduate from Stuyvesant High School (a specialized high school in downtown Manhattan). I have much experience tutoring kids from ages 6 to 18 through the company Allen Mentoring in subjects such as physics, math, english, and history. I have scored a 34 on my ACT exam (out of 36). If you haven't found anyone already, I would be happy to be of assistance. Please let me know. I would be happy to answer any questions...

...chapter, then work on central idea of each paragraph and tie it together to some unique concept. This tool has helped me through regular and honors courses. It is essential to be patient in note-taking. Every idea must be cross-checked and validated. There are several references available that students can utilize. I always use outside books and websites to aid in my studies. I would also like to be a mentor of my students. I...

...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 every moment has the potential to be...

...and the student. Not just simple comprehension, but in what manner the comprehension is reached. I enjoy breaking down problems into logical sub-units. First, the underlying equations (or axioms, or vocabulary, or processes) must be understood, preferably on an instinctual level, as it is easier to remember ideas when they make sense at a core level. Then these ideas are applied to the problem, in order to unlock the solution. Generally, when students are having...

...often less important than the reasoning used to reach said response. I honestly believe that anyone can learn anything given enough time and patience. I try my best to not only be a teacher but also a role model to my students and to interact with them as people not just clients. Most importantly, I believe that being challenging, but also patient and supportive yields the best results. I will always work my hardest to...

...students prepare for standardized exams for undergraduate and graduate school admission. In addition to my private tutoring activities, I was also a TA to an introductory science course at Cornell. In this position, I lectured weekly to a section of 15 undergraduate students and learned how to engage students in course material. In my free time, I enjoy cooking new recipes, competitive swimming, and tennis. Please feel free to reach out; I look forward to...

...best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do...

I've always known I wanted to teach. Once I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology/Neuroscience, I decided to pursue a Masters degree in Education. I love working with classrooms full of students, but I also love working with people one-on-one. I find that when the tutor has a chance to zero in on and accommodate a students' individual needs and learning style, the experience becomes more productive and enjoyable for everyone involved.

...cook. I'm also a huge music nerd; I love finding new artists and I play the drums myself. My teaching philosophy is heavily influenced by my engineering education. I rely on a Socratic, discussion-based method where I encourage my students to not only work through problems but to explain them back to me, to help build confidence in their own understanding of the material while cementing concepts in their minds. I also heavily emphasize developing...

...my resume ready for the medical school application process. In the year between graduating from Pacific and starting at Jefferson Medical College, I worked as a math and science tutor and as an SAT and MCAT instructor. Both jobs were extremely fulfilling and being able to see tangible results, in the form of their test scores, made those jobs even more gratifying. My many years of experience tutoring as well as my passion for seeing...

...I love helping students in math and science and it gives me a sense of satisfaction to see other people succeed. As the eldest of three I've helped my younger siblings in their studies and primarily use examples and analogies that they can understand and relate to in order to help them. Besides math and science, a few other things I love are research in my lab, football, basketball, comic books (especially Spider-Man and the...

...I was never a fan of just memorizing facts, because not only do you not really understand the material, but you are likely to forget it. That principle has transitioned over to my tutoring style. We start from the most basic, simplest core of the concept. Once we understand that, we slowly work our way up until you understand even the most difficult concepts..soon you're able to tell me the reason for every variable in...

...actor I usually play the role of the fool, so when I’m teaching I like to keep the energy light and fast, while still maintaining a rigorous learning environment. When I’m not teaching or acting I like to spend as much time as possible outdoors biking, hiking, fishing, swimming - you name it, I love being outside. I also really enjoy traveling and adventuring. I've been all over the world. I've lived in Scotland, London,...

...to obtain multiple honors and awards including Pi Delta honors and the Dean's List status, in addition to graduating in the top 5% of a very competitive class of bright surgeons, allowing me to start my surgical training at Forest Hills Hospital this summer. I am here to help you succeed. I understand how frustrating and challenging it is to battle through medical and science schools since I have been there. I will use every...

I was born and raised in Nigeria. I moved to the United States in 2003. I have BS degree in Biochemistry, that I received in 2002 while in Nigeria and a BA in Economics / Pre-Med from Lehman College. I graduated from Ross University School of Medicine in June 2014. I hope to be an Internist in future. I have tutored extensively for years and volunteered for various non-profit organizations.

...Chemistry and Chinese from Williams College. I am a very reliable and dedicated tutor. I will work hard and efficiently to help you improve your test scores, studying habits, and grades. My teaching philosophy is very much similar to a lot of my science professors. "Do practice questions. Do practice questions. Do some more practice questions!" Since I like to have concepts simplified and broken down for me, I will do the same for my...

...many with IEPs or Section 504 accomodations, I have lots of strategies and ideas to help students who learn differently master content and can also help students who could use some extra support in their organizational and study skills. I'm available on weekday evenings and at most times on Saturday and Sunday. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you think I could help you or your student. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from...
