Patient tutor, for all ages, helps when your learning is blocked

I'm passionate about helping my students to turn what frustrates them into what they love. My specialty is in finding what blocks your ability to learn, and help you open the bottleneck.

My experience is that once the block is opened, learning comes naturally.

I am successful using this teaching method in various subjects. First are the basics - any gaps in reading or numbers are going to affect all other learning.

Also, similarly, I found that I can teach the basic concepts of using a computer or smart phone to people who didn't grow up around computers, and feel confused or uncomfortable using them.

I work with both kids and adults who want to improve their reading and understanding, and adults who never learned to read before. (Both in English and Hebrew.)

Do you need help with a special project? I helped ESL and special needs students pass the driver's test, the citizenship exam, learn to read medication labels, etc.

I'm a software engineer by day, but I have been tutoring since I was 12, and my first love was helping kids see the beauty in numbers. I still love doing that.

I am curious to hear from you, and find out what you need.

Note: I tutor primarily around Hackensack, NJ, Nyack, NY and anywhere in between.

General Computer

Are you frustrated with your computer or smart phone skills?

If computers, smart phones or tablets feel like a foreign land to you, I can help. Once I teach you the language, you will easily be able to accomplish what is important to you.

It is never too late to learn.

Reading

We use reading every day. Those of us who do it well are not aware of it. But for those who are struggling, it is a continuous pain.
Improving the ability to read and understand books, recipes, instructions, medication labels, food labels, street and store signs, ideas, poetry, history. All these change a person's life, and sometimes a whole family.

If you are reading this - you are fortunate that you can.

Since this skill affects our life so widely, it is important... Read More

ESL/ESOL

When tutoring ESL, my focus is on what you need now. What is the skill that will make your life easier, and fast.

Do you need help pronouncing? Understanding someone talking? Reading? Writing notes?
Do you need vocabulary that is specific for your job, or for talking with you doctor.

Learning a new language is complicated. You need to learn the spoken language, and the written one.

But ESL is more than learning a new language. It means learning a new culture... Read More

Elementary Math

Elementary math is what we all use daily. When do I need to leave the house to get somewhere on time? Do I have enough in my pocket for a donut with my coffee?
If you or your kid shies away from numbers, I can help. Math, like anything else, is easier to approach if you don't hate it. Give me the chance to re-introduce you to your enemy. You may be pleasantly surprised!

Study Skills

Having study skills means knowing HOW to study, as opposed to the information which is WHAT you study. That means having a system that works for you, with which you approach studying anything.
Knowing how you study best, what works for you, and how do do it makes approaching new material less intimidating and more fun.

As your tutor I have the advantage of sitting with you one-to-one, and together we can find out what works best for you. You can create a system that will benefit... Read More

Hebrew

I lived in Israel for many years, and am fluent in Hebrew. What I specialize in is teaching the alphabet and reading. I can help you or your kids improve your Hebrew reading skills, whatever your starting level is.
