TOEFL is one of my top subjects! I hold a 160 hours TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification. During the process of this certification, I learned how to teach important English skills such as speaking, reading, writing, listening, grammar, and pronunciation. I also have experience teaching ESL to adults of different English levels and nationalities.

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

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.

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teachers have been a great influence on me hence I think that each child should have an opportunity of having a good teacher. According to me a good teacher is one who understands the student completely. A teacher should make the child enjoy what he or she is studying and the teacher should also be friendly and should make the student welcome. Every child learns in different ways, and may be better at learning some ways than others. With my past experience I think I have learned a great deal on how to deal with a diverse classroom. All students can achieve their dreams if they are encouraged and have a good environment. I think I posses good teaching skills and can make my students learn and can make them enjoy the learning process.
I got my bachelors degree from India. My specialization was in Physics, Chemistry and Math. I am interested in chemistry and hence I enrolled into a ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I like to adapt my style to the student's personality and learning style. Some students learn best through visual methods, some auditory and some prefer experiential learning. While textbooks often provide a good foundation, I like to use "real world" teaching if possible. For example, I might have a student act out a situation (renting a car, for example) that he or she may encounter in real life. I am also very patient and this is a key factor for good tutoring.
I am passionate about learning and education. As a native of Princeton, NJ, I have tutored Princeton students in English for almost 20 years. I have also tutored in Spanish (in which I hold a BA) and French (I resided in France for 3 years). I have a wide variety of business skills, and hold a Master's degree in International Business. I have excellent communications and interpersonal skills and look forward to ... read more
