Award-Winning Latin Tutors serving New Brunswick, NJ

...my work with ESL students and students with disabilities. I am especially passionate about foreign languages, the humanities, and social sciences. I received four consecutive gold medals on the National Latin Exam when I was in high school, so I am eager to help students who are struggling with the subject. I also specialize in the areas of English-language writing, grammar, and reading comprehension. I have wanted to be a teacher from a rather young...

Hi! My name is River Knight. I'm currently a student at New York University. I've actively worked as a tutor for the last 5 years. I hope to help my students find the joy in what they're learning and give them tools to improve on their own!

...and tests for more than five years. I strive to not only prepare students to exceed academic standards but also to be critical thinkers and curious, well-informed human beings. I recently completed a dual degree at Indiana University and moved to New York to take a gap year before beginning graduate school. As a scholarship student at IU, I majored in economics, cognitive science, and piano performance. Outside of tutoring, you can find me playing...

...and New York University. A great tutor customizes instruction for the particular needs of the student. One must quickly diagnose the main areas the student needs to improve, so as not to waste time. A great tutor can see outside the box and be flexible enough to explain the same concept in a variety of ways, depending on the needs of the student. A tutor must be more personable with the student than a classroom...

...this fall! I love tutoring and teaching students, and I have worked with a number of educational programs, from boarding schools to Americorps. I specialize in languages (English, French, German, Latin, and Ancient Greek) and test prep. I seek to help my students make connections between new material and things that are familiar to them, breaking down higher concepts with accessible examples that can help foster creativity. I care deeply about my students and their...

...Secondary Social Studies at Temple University. I have since become a Pennsylvania certified teacher in both Social Studies and English for grades 7-12, although I am also comfortable tutoring younger students. My strengths as an educator lie in my passion for both the subject matter and the desire to see students directly benefit from true comprehension and understanding. To me, history and social studies are important only in the context of what they teach us...

Hi! I'm Noah, a recent graduate of the University of Pennsylvania.

...I founded an international theater company called The Sun Apparatus with three other women in 2013. Since then, most of my non-tutoring hours are spent performing, rehearsing, directing, and producing for the company. We were shortlisted for the Scottish Daily Mail Drama Award in 2014 and will be taking our newest work, The ME, to the Edinburgh Festival this summer. I also work at Time In Children's Arts Initiative, a program that teaches opera appreciation...

I am currently a rising sophomore at the University of Chicago majoring in economics. I have prior experience tutoring as I joined the SAT Tutoring club my freshman year. I tutor both the SAT and ACT in all sections. I really enjoying helping other students learn and do their best. In my spare time, I enjoy watching sports, especially football and soccer.

...2002-2006. I worked hard, and I did very well. I was admitted early to Harvard my senior year, where I enrolled in Fall 2006. Long story short, my father was chronically ill, and I left school to help care for him. He required more care, and for longer, than anticipated, but it was not a choice I would ever reverse. And if, for now, qualities born of that experience must recommend me more than the...

...cosmic ray acceleration at supernova shock fronts in the Princeton University Department of Astrophysics, simulating how the turbulent plasmas push protons and ions. I have also worked at the Norfolk State University Department of Engineering, designing, simulating, optimizing, and building light filters for wavelength-division optical-electronic multiplexers. Another field I study is the mathematics of quasicrystals and aperiodic tilings, such as the Penrose tiling of rhombuses. Outside of school I play the trombone and piano, and...

...the problem is not the new material, but a stronger foundation in previous classes is needed. Professionally I have mostly tutored math for the last several years, but within my friends I tutored physics and other STEM courses through my academic career. I have a BS in civil engineering from New Jersey Institute of Technology, an MS from Stevens Institute of Technology and I am currently pursuing a PhD in civil engineering.

...moved into the neighborhood with a friend from college after spending a year living in London. Before that I graduated college (Princeton) where I studied History. I'm excited to be back on the East Coast and to get a chance to continue working with students! While I'm comfortable work with students of all ages, my most recent teaching experience was serving as a volunteer teacher's assistant for sixth, seventh, and eight graders in English, Math,...

...habits with others as a volunteer teaching assistant in local schools. Since graduating, I have helped countless students enjoy more healthy and productive academic lives as a private tutor. As a former camp counselor, I appreciate the need for education to inform and enrich the broad elements of a person's life, integrating theory with practice, knowledge with imagination, intellect with intuition. My goals as a tutor are often aligned with my impulse to inspire people...

...it comes to learning, there is no attribute more valued than passion. My teaching philosophy revolves around the core idea that the student should be the one to find the answers they need. Rote memorization, reciting, and hurling out facts without context will always place second to a true desire to learn when it comes to succeeding in academics. Not only should the tutor and the student aim to understand a subject, they should also...

I attended the University of Pennsylvania for undergrad where I studied English and took many STEM courses (chemistry, organic chemistry, statistics, calculus, advanced biology) as a part of my liberal arts education. I have also taken classes at Hunter College post-grad. I went to Poly Prep Country Day School for high school. I enjoy trying new recipes and new workouts as hobbies. I was born and raised in Brooklyn.

...also mentored many young teachers and student teachers over the years. My background is quite eclectic. I earned my B.S. in physical education from Brooklyn College in 1984. For the next few years, I worked as a salesman of a variety of products and services, including educational materials. As I mentioned above, I entered the field of education in 1987, starting at Lafayette High School in Brooklyn, where I taught a split program of physical...

...I'll make sure you learn the subject well and come out of your course with the better grades. I love teaching people because I know how it feels to finally solve that problem you've been struggling with, and how nice it is that someone helped you do it. Whether its Algebra or Calculus 2, a problem is a problem that needs to be solved and understood. Furthermore, I can help advise you with different high...

...all my students to find the aspect of the subject they are working on and mix it with the topic they are passionate about. I work with students to work on both their strengths and weaknesses. I care most about learning and I understand that every student is different and that learning happens at varied speeds. I focus on the student what makes them special. I specialize in Music (Piano, Composition etc) but also teach...

He believes that common foundations of learning exist across many disciplines, and values a specific and flexible approach to any topic to best apply those ideas and ensure individual enjoyment and success for every student.
