"Responding to the COVID-19 crisis, many closed schools are providing online group lessons. Some schools create their own lessons, but other schools refer students to Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs) such as KhanAcademy. Regardless, most of these lessons are impersonal - they are not tailored to your student’s particular strengths and weaknesses. My tutoring (online or in-person, as you wish) provides a PERSONALIZED follow-up to such generic online lessons.
Though I work by day developing the AP Physics Exam for an internationally renowned testing firm in Princeton, I am available to tutor on weekday evenings (in-person near Princeton, but online anywhere) and weekends (in-person throughout central and northern NJ, but online anywhere).
