Praxis Exam Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Forked River, NJ

***I am an expert when it comes to SAT, ACT, and Praxis exams!*** My name is Aalok and I am a full time professional tutor. I can help students who are struggling, students who are looking to excel, and everyone else in between. I strive for complete satisfaction and never charge for a session unless you are completely satisfied. "I wish I had called you sooner." That's what I hear most often from clients/students/parents. I won't go so far as to say I make tutoring fun, but I make sure it's engaging and meaningful. Tutoring isn't just memorization and repetitive practice drills; that's passive and wastes time. I've even worked with other tutors and educators to hone their skills and improve their teaching styles. I have over six years of experience working as a full time professional tutor. I have taught/tutored over 1400 students. I've taught over 600 students in a classr

As a 2012 graduate of Temple University’s College of Education, I have student teaching experience on the sixth and seventh grade levels, as well as, teaching and directing experience in a qualified pre-school, and have assisted students within both suburban and urban school districts. Recently, I finished student teaching within a sixth grade general education classroom. This position enabled me to provide these students with a comprehensive curriculum in mathematics, literacy, social studies, and science. I was challenged to actively provide a positive classroom climate, create an interesting curriculum, and keep the students engaged in learning. In my junior year at Temple University, a passion for, ‘Going Green’ created an opportunity for me to aid in the construction of Greenworks Preschool Academy. This position allowed me to design the curriculum, mission statement, and daily

In 2006, I began scoring constructed responses on the PRAXIS exam for one of the nation's leading test administrators. My specialization in scoring is for the special education test for the Education of Exceptional Students (Learning Disabilities). Having this experience in the essay components of the test (which accounts for 50% of the test score) gives me an insiders knowledge of what you can do to maximize the effectiveness of your responses. I have taught Special Education in the public school system for over 13 years. This exposure to the needs of students and the strategies that play such an important part in helping students succeed led me to eventually begin scoring PRAXIS tests. After 3 years of scoring, I was offered a position as a scoring facilitator who introduced constructed response questions, discussed rubric requirements, and monitored the scores given by groups of 10-14

My teaching style is focused on student achievement. Many parents complain that their child does poorly on tests. This is often a result of inadequate teaching practices which fail to recognize individual learning differences in students. My goal in teaching is to individualize the learning process for each student, so that the student understands and retains knowledge and is able to explain what they learned. This process increases their test scores and confidence. Students often require that educational materials be modified or accommodated to meet their particular needs. My experience in special education has shown that all students can achieve if knowledge is properly presented and goals well defined. I have over twenty years teaching in the public and private schools in New Jersey. I have taught English, Math, Social Studies, and Business. I am a NJ state certified teacher in

As a political scientist turned full time tutor, I found a calling in the tutoring and test preparation industry. I received my doctorate at Rutgers University where I taught courses in political science and expository writing. Besides teaching, I have also served in project management positions in various academic institutions. I value critical thinking and the inherent potential of all to succeed. I believe in accessing the individual learning style of each student before developing lesson plans. I specialize in writing essays and helping students translate their ideas onto paper. I also help students understand complex math problems by teaching effective methods to solve challenging questions.

When a student feels that he or she is staring up at an insurmountable wall, it is important to remember that, as a teacher, that you cannot go with them. You have to provide the strategies students need to surmount, not only the obstacle currently before them, but the one after that, and the ones they will encounter farther down the road. Students come to the classroom or to tutoring with the desire to grow in substantive ways and to learn and to become skilled at working with new concepts and to understand how those ideas connect with the greater world. I see myself as a guide, a coach, and as someone who works to teach students to “decode” complex ideas and texts— a person whose job it is to lessen frustration and to build confidence. I have been teaching English, composition, college research and writing, argument and persuasion, fiction writing and poetry at the university and comm

During my tenure in the classroom, I justified that all students can learn and perform above average if given the appropriate environment, and the teacher is in the best position to enact it. I strongly express my passion for what I do, and this has a ripple effect on the students, who in return express passion for their class. I use positive approach to teaching, guaranteeing all my students that they cannot fail if we all stick to the plan (and I mean it). In addition, speaking word of motivation and encouragement help students to get up when you are not there. In summary, I don’t quit on any student, and no one that steps into my class or tutoring session leaves the same (my math/science jokes bring them back). My curiosity to understand systems and solve complex problems drove me to major in Computer & Information Science and minor in Mathematics. Due to my approach to presenting mat
