***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 am easygoing and friendly, and never judgemental. I will focus on what you feel is your weakest link or help you determine where your needs are. We will discuss the scoring rubric used on the constructed responses, examine examples of potential scenarios, and review responses and how they would have scored and why. I have taught Special Education in the public school system for over 13 years. This exposure to the needs of students and the strat

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

I am a believer of the fact that each child is an individual and capable of learning. I enjoy working with children and getting to know them and providing them with different strategies to learn. I am a concerned, passionate, honest and confident person. I believe that every child learns differently and that one must alter teaching styles to suit the needs of the students. I have worked with students in the past and hope to do so in the future and be able to help them learn and make a difference in life.

I am a hard working creative person. Having taught in both the urban and surburban areas, I know that every student can learn when their individual needs are met. I love to see the "lightbulb" go off in my students' heads, especially when they didn't believe that they could do it. I never allow my students to use the word can't. I tell them they can, they might need assistance, but they can do it. No excuses! After graduating from Syracuse University with a BSW and a minor in Psychology. I was sent to Baltimore, MD through the Teach For America program. While teaching for 5 years in Baltimore, I went back to school and earned my Master of Arts in Teaching. I then moved back to New Jersey and have been teaching here for 2 years. For the past 6 of my 7 years of teaching, I have taught Language Arts to students in grades K-college level students.
