Award-Winning ACT Math Tutors in Cambridge, MA

...doing. I love teaching students of all levels, and I am excited to work with a broad range of students through Varsity Tutors. I want to become a high school teacher, but tutoring is something that is so unique in that you get to work with one student and learn their every strength and weakness. I look forward to working with any student who needs my help, and helping them to grow to be the...

...a Teaching 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.

...with a double major in Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering. I am currently working at a start up company in Pittsburgh. I am passionate about learning, regardless of the field, and I strive to do my very best at everything I do. I enjoy helping people learn; I don't want people to feel afraid of the sciences and will work hard to find a method of teaching that makes the subject seem more interesting.... In my experience, students learn best when the tutor is really excited about the material and encourages students by praising them when they do well. It eventually makes the subject less tedious and the student more willing to do the work.

...on college essays. Usually, by the end of the session, they find out that they need a lot less help than they thought! I have also done a fair amount of math and science tutoring with middle and high school students, which is almost easier, since full comprehension can be immediately and clearly demonstrated. I generally design some sort of worksheet in order to walk the student through the process of figuring out the general...

I have tutored a range of subjects at the middle school and high school levels. I am currently a graduate student at MIT in a dual-Master's program (MBA + MS mechanical engineering). I worked in renewable energy and energy policy for several years after obtaining my bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from MIT. I enjoy rock climbing, running, and playing outside in all kinds of weather.

...of the day-to-day tasks within the office. These included managing files, responding to phone and email inquiries, scheduling appointments, and supporting managers and staff members when needed. I was also in charge of coordinating and recording the collection and rehabilitation of used oil. I then attended post-grad (13th year) at a high school in Connecticut and recently graduated. I have always felt capable of helping others with school work and believe that I would be...

...also in Biomedical Engineering. During my tenure at Boston University I was responsible for teaching two undergraduate level engineering courses, requiring me to teach in both large classroom and one-on-one settings. I am most comfortable teaching quantitative sciences, although I also have experience teaching standardized tests and more qualitative subjects such as Biology or Chemistry. I am a born and raised Bostonian, having grown up in Reading, MA. I am a proud product of the...

...is built from how we approach these puzzles, and how each unique mind breaks down a problem's pieces. For test prep, studying is as much about learning equations and facts as it is about learning the tricks to the format. Again, it is all a puzzle, and I can teach you the ways to hack the system by knowing the rules to the game. In the classroom, you can only get the material in a...

...taught me how to communicate concepts in clear and engaging ways. For instance, while tutoring adolescents enrolled in the Boston-based Artists for Humanity program, I would often teach students whom I had never worked with before, and thus became adept at quickly discovering and implementing the strategies that worked best for a particular student (e.g., visual/tactile examples, analogies, and breaking down complex problems into smaller parts). While tutoring a janitorial staff member in preparation for...

...the past, I have also run simulations with high school students for academic conferences. While volunteering in Peru, I tutored students at an all-girls orphanage in a bilingual environment. Throughout high school, I also helped students prepare for standardized examinations such as the SAT, ACT, SAT subject tests, AP Exams and Regents examinations. I am eager to work with students in these areas, with a particular emphasis on reading, writing, and history. My experience working...
