Children's Success is Our Business

We cater to how your child learns!
Although we are a new business in the heart of downtown Hammonton, our extensive selection process at UpGrade Tutoring ensures that our tutors are not only qualified individuals, but also positive role models and effective educators matched to suit your student’s needs. Using an internet based curriculum that is specific to New Jersey and Common Core Standards, students work with tablets at their own pace to complete different exercises and programs specifically geared to improve their basic skills, help build new ones, and develop good study habits. With these tools, we can pinpoint exactly what your child needs to succeed and how we can help. Whether you choose a small group setting (3:1) or a one- on- one session, your student will receive the help they need in a much smaller, and intimate learning environment. The first step to getting sta ... read more

Read More About Thomas S...

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 teac ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a determined, enthusiastic, and highly motivated teacher. I want students to grow academically, socially, and emotionally in an atmosphere that is stimulating and adaptive to their diverse needs. I have focused on instilling in my students a love of learning. I believe it takes more than a single individual to make a difference in the lives of a student. Therefore, I have learned the value of being a team player and the importance of communicating with colleagues, parents, and administrators.
I have my BS in Psychology and BA in Art. In May 2003, I received my Masters of Education (M.Ed.) from the University of Maryland in College Park. My work towards this degree provided me with an extensive understanding of scientifically based research, lesson plan development, and teacher training skills. I have worked as an educational researcher on three large-scale government grants ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

It's true that every student learns at a different pace with a different style. I like to see myself as a cameleon teacher, catering my format to individual needs. My style tends to be laid back so that students are comfortable expressing their likes and dislikes with me, curbing their fear of not understanding something. I love to use metaphors, pictures, examples and stories to illustrate the subject in a new and perhaps clearer way. I don't teach and run - I make sure the student understands before moving on to the next problem. I have them work through something in front of me so I can make sure they know what they're doing. And, finally - importantly - I keep a healthy, balanced sense of humor.
My original plan was to major in Education, but decided to double major in school, then obtain my teaching certificate after graduation. Now, armed with two degrees and a desire to ente ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is fair, but firm. I am a strict believer in following directions and organization as a basis for any subject taught, and I strive to help my students understand this process as they go through their educational careers. My role is not just as educator, I am a director in my student's study skills, for it is when they understand this, that they can truly be successful. I believe in designing creative, original ways to present lessons. I am in this career because I love what I do, and I am good at it, which is apparent to my students, their parents, and my direct supervisors.
As an English educator, I firmly believe that the more experience you acquire, the more effective your teaching style becomes. Since I not only teach language arts in a middle school setting, but also accept positions which require me to tutor students of all ages (elementary to college le ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I don't have any professional teaching experience but by running a business for the past two years I feel that is good experience when it comes to dealing with the unexpected and having to always think on your toes. I deal with a variety of personality types on a daily basis and I feel this would help me transition into teaching. I am also a professional musician and have tutored a number of people in the field of electronic music production
I currently hold a bachelor's degree from Rutgers University in Sociology. My major gpa was a 3.4 and I graduated from Rutgers College in New Brunwick which when I attended was the toughest school to get into within the Rutgers University system. I also have several years experience running an online sales business and plan to further my education in the near future since I value education highly for both personal and professional growth.

More About This Tutor...

As a full time tutor and academic coach, I have spent 1000+ hours privately tutoring, holding classes and teaching middle and high school to understand the many learning styles needed to achieve success. I possess an BA in English and an MBA in Human Resources. After 30 years in Corporate America, I retired early and returned to teaching, tutoring and coaching.
I work with the student's strengths to ascertain their learning style and then apply these to the area needing improvement. No one style will work for every child. Therefore, I work independently with each child's style and work to make a marked improvement in their success.
