Experience Summary
***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 classroom setting and well over 800 students online. I've individually tutored well over 300 students. I am experienced in academic/test prep tutoring from grade school through college.
I also have experience working with students that have ADHD, dyslexia, students with IEP's, and other documented learning disabilities. I don't have formal training in specialized education, but rather successful experience. While other tutors may shy away from students who they think might be challenging to teach, I embrace these opportunities.

While I cannot guarantee scores like the ones above, I do promise my very best to help you get your highest score possible!
I reside in Toms River, have an office in Morganville, or can meet with clients at their homes, a library, or at a cafe. As my schedule allows, I can tutor students beyond 30 minutes of travel for a higher hourly rate. I also tutor extensively online and have worked with students in Maryland, Texas, Russia, London, and India.
