Award-Winning ACT Science Tutors serving Massachusetts

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

...Forensic Science-Biology with a Pre-Medical designation who hopes to go to medical school in the future. I am most passionate about biology and chemistry but have a strong personal interest in history, especially topics overlooked in the past study of history. To me, learning is a life long process and leads to the development of a well-rounded individual. Seeing understanding of a difficult topic and creating enthusiasm for learning is what draws me to tutoring.

...and I tutored with MIT's Academic Teaching Initiative to teach high school students AP Computer Science during my freshman year in college. I've also worked at the Smithsonian summer camps as a counselor for a programming camp and digital arts camp. Outside of academics, I'm in MIT's all female a capella group, the MIT Muses, and I do copy editing with MIT's student newspaper, The Tech. I also enjoy cooking, running, and photography in my...

...to me for help with science or math; however, I have also helped students with standardized test prep and general study and time management skills. As a medical student, I've had plenty of personal experience with managing a rigorous course load, test anxiety, and time management. My experiences as a student help me relate to my students. Having been through the stressful college and medical school application process myself, I can give my students the...

I graduated with a degree in Biology and am currently in my first year of dental school at Harvard.

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.

As a dedicated and enthusiastic tutor, my goal is to help foster a supportive and engaging learning environment that empowers students to reach their full potential. I have always believe that every student has different learning styles, but the common ability to succeed. It is my job to help unlock that potential by tailoring my approaches to fit their individual learning styles.

...support, especially outside of school, because it is a great way to understand all the material you need to know in a less stressful setting and get ahead in your classes. I work as a substitute teacher in a public school district, where I have the opportunity to teach students K-12. When I was a member of the National Honors Society in high school, I tutored my fellow peers in math, science, and English. I...

...supported students in their pursuit of graduate education. Sometimes this meant helping with admissions essays and personal statements, strategically planning their application process, or talking through the unwritten rules of graduate admissions and graduate education. I have experience working with college students who have learning differences, and I am sensitive to the specific processes used to support these students in higher education. Additionally, I am experienced in working with students who are English language learners.

...also tutored fellow peers and underclassmen in organic chemistry, anatomy and physiology, and biology. Post-graduation, I worked for another tutoring company that focused on ACT/SAT preparation. All of my students scored in the 95th percentile or higher. I'm a second year MAMS student at Boston University School of Medicine. I'm currently working in a skeletal tissue biology research lab while also applying to medical school. My hobbies include tennis, crosswords, movies, football, and trivia. I was...

Certified Biology and Special Ed teacher looking to help high school students better understand their coursework! I also enjoy tutoring Math and German.

...and day school for high school, and was given a lot of opportunities to pursue advanced coursework and opportunities that weren't available to 99% of students in the area. As a result, I've joined Varsity Tutors as an effort to give back and try to help students get excited about learning various subjects, employing many of the methods that allowed me to succeed. While I tutor a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate...

...and even volleyball coaching. I spent two years in a Neuroscience PhD program before realizing that clinical medicine was the right path for me, and now I am a second year medical student at Boston University School of Medicine. I love tutoring because each student brings unique educational challenges and I especially enjoy helping students overcome those challenges to achieve their dreams. Outside of tutoring, I love singing, playing the guitar, and softball.

...in London and am an alumni of Westminster school. I have achieved 11 GCSEs and 5 A Levels, 4 of the A Levels were part of the Pre-University Cambrdge course. i'm currently in the University of Notre Dame and am going to declare my major as Science and Business. I tutor mathematics from intro level to Calculus 2, chemistry (both organic and physical), physics (classical physics as well as some modern physics, like Relativity), English...

Hi, I'm Navina. I am a hard-working, enthusiastic pre-medical undergraduate studying Behavioral Neuroscience. I am interested in working with children and adolescents, helping them to fulfill their potential.

...I hold a Masters in Education specializing in secondary education, but I've worked with a wide variety of student demographics: K-12, college/university, returning students, ESL/ELL, gifted and/or reluctant learners, etc. I enjoy the challenge of stepping outside of my comfort zone in terms of teaching assignments, and I believe my passion for being in the classroom rubs off on my students. My teaching philosophy includes having a learner-centered growth mindset that takes into account students'...

...my own MCAT journey so everything that I learned to guide me through the process is fresh in my mind! I also am passionate about STEM subjects and love coaching students in their science and math courses, specifically in Chemistry, Calculus, Algebra, Geometry, and Physics. I have tutored students on a volunteer basis for 4 years in these subjects. When I'm not tutoring students (or studying for my own coursework), I love baking, running, and...

...for the GRE; these students report not only higher scores but deeper understanding of the material, even in areas they have struggled with for years. Many of my students have not taken relevant quantitative courses for years and have forgotten much of their fundamental math skills, but after working with me for a short time, they are able to achieve great GRE quantitative scores. Students also enjoy my approach to the verbal section, where we...

...tutoring a lot more than teaching large classes because it's much more personalized, and I can help the student learn exactly what they need. It's great to see someone make progress and become confident with something that he or she was previously struggling with. I am interested in tutoring anything related to English, especially grammar and vocabulary, SAT, ISEE, French, Latin, Mandarin Chinese, History and Social Studies, Algebra, Music Theory, and Flute. I am excited...
