Hello!

My name is Scott and I have lived and tutored in this area my whole life.

I studied at Centenary College here in Hackettstown, and majored in Communications with minors in English and Political Science. There I became the Commuter Council Leader and won a coveted internship with Sen. Ewing through my debating and writing skills.

I have two children of my own and I love helping them on a daily basis with their schooling, and now I wish to help your children as well! I help coach on the baseball teams and referee the football games to help the children grow and learn in a fun and active atmosphere while not neglecting my own children, but now I am ready to help others.

My first tutoring job was while I was still in high school; I tutored several middle school students and underclassmen in trumpet playing and music in general. From there I began helping fellow students with speech writing, poetry, and finally political science as I entered my senior year in college.

For more information on my experiences in tutoring, please see my subject descriptions.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Writing

I have both love and experience in teaching people to write well and effectively. I teach both the technical side of writing as well as the creative side for people of all ages and levels.

In addition to tutoring people, I have also been the lead writer for a periodical, a first draft novel editor, a technical article writer, and I am a published poet.

English

English is the biggest building block in not only writing, but also helps reading comprehension, speaking, and communication skills.

I have tutored many people from elementary school to college in English. Whether your struggles are with simple concepts like verbs and nouns, or more complex areas in collegiate level minutia, I have the tools, knowledge, and experience to help you.

ASVAB

The ASVAB test is like no other in the world. It not only helps to determine what your future with the military might be, but also has a high probability of determining the career you are in for the rest of your life!

I am a tutor for most of the academic pursuits and have a love for teaching, but as you know, familiar academics are just a small part of this test! In other ways I was shaped to help you show your best on the ASVAB is by helping you in "other" areas like mechanics, shop,... Read More

Elementary Math

Math can be confusing and frustrating even at the elementary level.

At the beginning of first grade we expect all children to be able to count to 100 by ones, twos, fives, and tens.

In two short years students are expected to know place holders, decimal points, polynumeral addition and subtraction, as well as simple multiplication and division.

Three years later they are expected to be doing algebra.

This is a lot to absorb and comprehend in a very... Read More

Phonics

I never thought I liked phonics. As a child I hated the time we spent on that subject in class.

Now I have learned to love it.

Over the years of public speaking and tutoring public speaking and speech for international college students, I have learned that freeing the natural voice through phonics is the key to effective verbal communication and in raising the confidence and self-esteem of the speaker.

I learned that phonics is no single thing- I have studied both... Read More

Football

Students requiring position specific tutoring at the high school level need to look elsewhere.

That being said- the basics of youth football are anything but basic. Quickness of the feet, explosions from the line, extension of the limbs all require a fundamental grasp of how the body functions and basic coordination and strength to prevent injury.

Having a safe and productive session is the top priority everyday for everyone.

My experience goes beyond teaching... Read More

Trumpet

I have played trumpet for over twenty years. I played with an award winning marching band, a jazz/wedding band, and a rock band.

I have tutored several students over the years and at least one of my former students has a career playing for a cruise line.

Public Speaking

I have always been a natural public speaker. After my first mock debate in high school I developed a passion for public speaking and studied it extensively.

In college my abilities gave me my first leadership role as the council president and gave me a coveted internship with a state senator.

Professionally, my public speaking skills enabled me to give several addresses and presentations to potential clients, both direct and business.

I have tutored students in... Read More
