Award-Winning Physiology Tutors serving Plainfield, NJ

...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 ensure that your student comes away learning the most that he or she...

Aside from being an avid scholar, I am a world traveler and enjoy trying new things! I also love to run, draw, read, and cook, either with friends or simply by myself. I stay in shape both mentally and physically: I am constantly training to be my best. Whenever the opportunity arises to help elevate someone, I take it. Helping a student reach their goals is equally as rewarding for my student and myself.

...I am passionate about the use of technology so expect to use many technological tools for educational purposes. In my experience helping struggling students prepare these tools can be of great help breaking the ice into the material before and after sessions. I am a firm but kind in my teaching ability and I promote and encourage students to understand the material in a way that is always interesting and applicable to their daily lives....

...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 role model for my students. My experiences as a National AP Scholar, graduate...

...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 intuition as opposed to rote memorization. If a student can learn the foundational...

...difficult, and ultimately can leave students feeling defeated if they are struggling. When guided by someone who is passionate about a subject, and allowed to discover certain concepts on their own, students can not only learn the material, but gain an appreciation for it as well. This will then, I feel, translate into both better grades and better attitudes towards their academics. I hope to be able to use my own knowledge and passion for...

...was a monumental achievement. The summer that I spent volunteering in India ignited a passion for education that I had not realized was inside of me. After that summer, I spent the next two years tutoring students in math, science and SAT prep, volunteering at Recording For The Blind and Dyslexic, teaching at Kumon: Math and Reading learning center, and joined Empower the Children, an organization for educational empowerment. In college, I served as a...

...are having trouble with a problem (or type of problem) there is a non-sequitur somewhere in that process. My job, which is quite fun in this way, is to identify and correct this misunderstanding. One of the best feelings in the world is helping someone see the underlying beauty governing the world and humans. Understanding why and how things work is beautiful. I am qualified in a variety of subjects, as befits my rather bizarre...

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.

...When not studying, I like to ride my bike, train Taekwondo, play blues guitar (or bass, or piano, or saxophone, or drums), and read a good book. My tutoring philosophy is one of individualized attention and goal setting, where the tutor and the student work together to set realistic goals, and then identify the roadblocks preventing the student from achieving his or her goal. We then work together to surmount these obstacles, allowing the student...

...I held informal tutoring sessions for younger pre-med students for eight total hours per week. In small study groups I answered questions on biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, and physics, often employing diagrams and visual aids in my teaching. In addition, since high school, I have always been someone that friends entrust to look over and critique their papers before they submit final drafts. My teaching style features visual learning, mnemonics, and hierarchical organization of...

...a tutor. I will not give my students the answers to their questions right away. Instead, I will guide them along the right path so they can arrive at the correct answer by themselves. Giving away answers robs students of their valuable opportunity to grow as a learner by making connections between different concepts, integrating them, and applying them to a particular question. Students always walk away from tutoring sessions with more confidence when they...

...at any speed. I can go as slow as the student needs to, and I excel at teaching through explanations of why to help give a solid understanding of the topic rather than just feeding information to memorize. I like to read, especially fantasy, and I enjoy drawing, graphic design, and going to the beach on my spare time. I also enjoy a night watching Netflix and spending time with friends. I am comfortable to be...

...a teaching assistant for developmental genetics courses as a graduate student. I enjoy motivating students to get excited about the subject matter by employing various teaching strategies. I believe students should not only be able to grasp the material they are being tutored at the moment, but also build a strong basic foundation, which will allow them to understand more complex concepts. I am an avid baseball fan and follow the Yankees.... I want to help...

...as possible, while staying on the subject at all times. I try to make education a simple and uncomplicated process in a world of distractions. Doing this has been very gratifying. In my spare time, I like to watch and play soccer, work out at the gym and watch movies. I am a huge superhero movie fan. I also love to visit museums and aquariums.I love the marine life and animals in general.

...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 ounce of my strong academic knowledge, smart studying techniques and vast teaching experience to...

...2002, throughout college and grad school and while doing neuroscience research. I love tutoring one-on-one because I can get to know students and gear the lessons toward their interests, which helps them learn more quickly, retain new skills better, and enjoy the tutoring sessions more. I particularly enjoy teaching science, writing, and test prep. With test prep I've found that supplemental work on fundamental skills helps students improve their scores much more than working through...

...effective communication. I like to ask questions to build confidence and encourage academic conversation. I also taught English as a Second Language in Korea where I adopted novel approaches to communicate across the language barrier as well as to keep students interested. My favorite subjects to tutor are grammar, writing, and literature because I love to read, but I also tutor test-prep, algebra, and lower-level maths. In my free time I like to read, play...

...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 deepest learning comes from answering guided questions and coming to one's own conclusions, then matching those conclusions to available standards and literature. I...

...graduate with a Bachelors of Arts in Foreign Affairs. Since graduating I have completed a Post-Baccalaureate program in Pre-Medicine, served as an instructor for both College Level Human Anatomy and Human Physiology courses and worked as a Research Assistant in a Cardiovascular Physiology laboratory. I will enter medical school in the Fall of 2015. While I tutor a broad range of science courses, I most enjoy teaching Human Physiology, Biology, and Organic Chemistry. By employing...
