Award-Winning ACT Tutors in Peabody, MA

Hi! My name is Adriana, and I'm an MIT undergrad studying Urban Planning. I loved math in science in school, but know that it can be frustrating and easy to dislike when taught in a way that is difficult to understand, or when it seems useless and pointless to learn. My goal is to get students not only to perform well in these subjects, but to fully comprehend and enjoy them.

I am passionate about helping students learn about economics, math, history and anything else I can help with. I look forward to working with you!

...a story, poem, or play. In my experience I have found it helpful to make real world, modern day connections between the student and the work of literature that they are reading, to both help them understand that work and to enjoy and appreciate the value of the particular work.
