Ivy League Graduate and TEFL Certified English Tutor

In my ESL classes, I try to stress communication and emphasize the skills that will help the students use the language independently rather than lecture them. I will use a similar approach with you, but will be flexible enough to adapt to your needs. I will have challenging assessments for my students to ensure they understand the concepts covered in the class and provide insightful feedback so that they can continue to improve.
Hello there! My name is Nikhil and I would love to be your English tutor and help you improve your confidence with the language. I have several years of teaching experience, which have helped me develop the important skills of patience, communication, creativity, and being organized which are important to being an effective teacher. I used to teach Economics to college freshmen and sophomores while I was a graduate student at the University of Virginia ... read more

ACT is one of my top subjects!

My experience tutoring so many subjects and exams has given me insight that lets me simplify even the most complex material. That's why I believe myself to be such an effective tutor. So whether it's SAT Math or ACT English or GMAT Argument Analysis or GRE Verbal or MCAT Physics or college level chemistry, I break the material down into simpler concepts. Experience also allows me to be flexible. Your algebra teacher pushed the test back and you'd rather review solubility rules and titration from today's chemistry lab? No worries. Suddenly remember halfway through a physics problem that you also have a pre-calc quiz tomorrow and want to spend the rest of our session reviewing for that? You got it.

A Little Bit About Me...

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.

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 materials/work in a simplified way for my audience, my teacher recommended me as a math tutor in my sophomore year. Throughout my last two years in college, I tutored almost all level of undergraduate mathematics, physics, and entry level statistics. After graduation, I was accepted in the Philadelphia Teaching Fellow. I taught in Philadelphia School District both in the middle and high school levels mathematics. My diverse experience has enabled me to work with students at various academic levels and social circumstances. My students tagged me “Mr. O. makes it simple”.
During my tenure in the classroom, I justified that all students can learn and perform above average if given the appropriate environment, and t ... read more

Having taught adults with no background in English, to 8th grade girls that had many different teachers, I have realized that every student learns in a unique way. Some people need to see the material, others need to write it out for themselves, and some need to hear the material in order to retain it. I usually try several different approaches until I see a positive response from the student. I also believe that you don’t know something until you can teach it to someone else; I encourage my students to re-explain things to me in their own words allowing me to be sure they’ve understood the lesson. It took me years to come into my academic stride, so I have the patience to deal with children that are not performing as would be expected, because some kids need a little more time and attention than some of their peers.
Through several different institutions I have had the opportunity ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 elementary and secondary education and recently completed my special education certification so that students requiring special educational accommodations can be properly recognized and taught. I have earned a BA in Education, a BS in Business Administration and two Masters Degrees.
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. Th ... read more

I have taught Mathematics/Statistics at all levels (B.S. and M.S) at both US and Indian Universities for over 3 decades. Because of my passion for teaching, I have taught Mathematics and Statistics in George Washington University, National Institute of Health and University of Virginia, while being a Team Leader/Vice President in Food and Drug Administion and INC. Research, respectively. I have also remotely guided a couple of Senior High School Students in their AP Mathematics courses and project work in Statistics.
I am a firm believer in teaching the basic concepts in Mathematics and Statistics in a constructive way so that the students would comprehend/understand the problem and work on their own with some guidance. When I was a graduate student, I was a very popular teaching assistant.

More About This Tutor...

I believe that effective communication and a supportive environment is crucial to a good teaching/learning relationship. I don't mind questions, in fact I encourage them at any time! I see learning as a 2-way street. It is the students responsibility to stop me immediately and ask questions if he/she does not understand. It is my responsibility, in response, to answer those questions and find a new way of explaining the problem so he/she does understand it. I believe a student should be able to "talk" mathematics as well as "write" it. My philosophy regarding math is as follows: it is a fantastic way of looking at the world and also improves necessary critical thinking skills in a student.
I hold both a BA in Mathematics and an MS in Statistics from Rutgers Univeristy. I have sucessfully tutored 36+ students since 1991. I also have broad technical writing experience from complet ... read more
