Rebecca Shaw-Gove has been teaching for over 23 years. She graduated from Brooklyn College, CUNY with a BS in Dance, Honors in Russian Language and Literature, Summa Cum Laude and holds a certificate of eligibility in the NJ public schools in Vocational Arts/Dance for grades K-12.

Rebecca has been tutoring for 5 years, teaching SAT and ACT Verbal Exam Prep, reading for grades K-12 and math for grades K-6.
She has tutored onsite for the Huntington Learning Center in Verona, NJ, and is presently working as a tutor online, tutoring students in English Language Arts, Social Emotional Learning, and elementary and middle school math. In addition to working with Braintrust Tutors, she has worked as an online tutor for Lessonpal.com Intervene K-12, LLC and Tutor Me Education, LLC.
Ms. Shaw-Gove believes that all students can learn when given the right tools and accepts the challenges of teaching with a positive attitude, knowledge, experience, and compassion.
In addition, Rebecca is a very patient teacher, and has been told by students that she explains difficult concepts in a way that now makes them clear and easy to understand. This in turn helps to build the student's confidence.
Rebecca looks forward to joining and working with Braintrust Tutors this year in helping students achieve success in their studies.
