Award-Winning ACT Tutors in Newton, MA

...for my undergrad. I am an experienced educator, having peer-tutored students at Harvard and had many private music students over the years of all ages and levels. As an English major, I wrote many papers and edited those of my peers. I believe the best teachers help students use their own intuitions and reasoning to discover knowledge or arrive at conclusions. I have broad knowledge in the humanities, including two master's degrees in music (composition...

I want to give back to my community by helping ensure that all students have a chance at academic success.

...whatever subject they have me working on for that day. Furthermore, there have been cases where I was in charge for classes where the teacher was absent for an extended period of time. Along with substitute teaching, I had the opportunity to work with young people through Temple University's Information, Technology, and Society Research Group's (ITSRG) BITS program. BITS (Building Information and Technology Skills) enabled me to teach young students from Philadelphia about urban planning,...

...the added bonus of being a race against time. In short: I enjoy a good challenge, and the biggest challenge out there (in my opinion) is education. Education is the pathway to intellectual curiosity which hopefully can continue to define more and more people. Seeking to understand is what makes us human after all. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy curling up by the fire with a good book and a cat, watching and talking about...

...that they are automatically "bad" at reading or writing papers. I try to help students develop the skills they need so that they can move forward with confidence and continue to improve. I have been reading my whole life, and I have done a lot of creative writing, so I have a great love of words. I am particularly fond of Shakespeare (although there are a lot of students who don't agree with me!) but...

...volunteer in Cusco, Peru, provided English language support in Chacraseca, Nicaragua, helped facilitate an after-school enrichment program, and have tutored independently for over three years. In my work with students, I emphasize a growth mindset. I find that students often need to build the belief in their own ability as they build on content knowledge.

I have an extensive background in the sciences and have worked with individuals as a swim coach, ski...

...Assistant, Research Assistant, and as an Actuary, and have a particular passion for teaching Mathematics. When tutoring I try to include visualizations and real world examples whenever I can so that it does not feel like a fruitless exercise. I help students reach their goals with a two-pronged approach: reinforcing and building upon strengths while targeting weaknesses. In my free time I exercise, play the piano and volunteer with the Jewish Vocational Service.

...vocabulary, grammar, and overall knowledge of history, current events, etc. Similarly, I've worked with so many students who think they just aren't good at writing, or they hate writing. Sometimes this is because they see themselves as "math thinkers" and sometimes it's because they've suffered through too many writing assignments without enough guidance. I believe that any student can learn how to write a clear, well-organized, and effective essay if they know the formula and...

...Library and Information Science, and upon completing my Master's degree, I hope to work in a special collections library with rare books and manuscripts. I tutor a number of subjects and am especially excited about English, Writing, SAT Critical Reading and Spanish. I always make sure to customize my lessons to the personalities and learning styles of my students and try to incorporate a variety of resources and exercises whenever possible. I think that one-on-one...

...Center. Here, I guided students through problems sets and practice exams, with a particular focus on improving critical reasoning, time management and test-taking strategy skills generally applicable to all academics. I have tutored university level General Chemistry, AP, IB and high school math & chemistry privately. When I took the GRE in August 2014, I scored on the 94th Percentile for both the Quantitative (167) and Verbal Reasoning (164) components. These scores are in the...

...University. I moved to Boston in 2013 to pursue research with the Belfer Institute at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute after graduating with a B.S. in Biology and a minor in French from Allegheny College.

...History, and am more than happy to help with any subject within the liberal arts. I can assist students from 6th grade to college and post-grad.

I can assist with...

...that everyone possesses the ability to learn new things. I am a strong believer in adapting my teaching style to fit the needs of the student and how they learn best. I find it is easiest to learn when you are interested and engaged in a subject and that is what I try to teach. I have a strong desire to help others reach their full potential and help them find what they are interested...
