Award-Winning ACT Science Tutors serving Somerville, MA

...elementary school students, and I plan to tutor computer science and programming. Besides tech, I also like reading, and have a particular knack for the English and Reading portions of the ACT and SAT. My philosophy for test taking success is to know the base material required to answer the questions, know the tactics to optimize approaches to questions, and to do practice problems and rigorously review mistakes. I aim to tutor students in the...

...for one year, and an ACT tutor for nine months. Some of my other experience includes teaching summer classes in South Africa, and volunteering as a caretaker at orphanages in Poland. Outside of tutoring, I row crew in Boston, write poetry, and love walking my two adorable dogs. I am fluent in English, German, French, and I am currently learning Russian. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, and I look...

...am equally qualified to tutor in numerous biology related topics in addition to Mandarin Chinese. With my time almost up as an undergraduate, I want to continue doing what I have enjoyed in high school: tutoring and helping students to increase scores and achieve better grades. Knowing that every student studies in different ways, I am flexible and also take the time to get to know your needs or your child's needs to ensure a...

...Both in and out of the pool, I believe that a good lesson is one where the student is doing the thinking. I teach interactively, asking questions, listening to students. explanations, and probing students to produce the correct answer for themselves. I want to model thinking and questioning strategies that will allow a student to be successful without a tutor; I endeavor always to work myself out of a job. When I'm not tutoring or...

As a master's student and former medical student, I know how challenging academics can be. I also know how having a helping hand, a guidance through the confusion, can help one gain confidence in themselves to excel. From tutoring children to post-graduates, I have seen that all students (no matter their age, level of education, strengths, weaknesses, etc.) who are willing to learn can succeed. ... In a typical first session, the student and I usually...

...and Herzegovina. At this school, my interest in tutoring and getting to know different people was ignited when I started tutoring non-native English speakers. I learned to be patient while teaching new subjects and to cater to the needs and interests of my students. I have lots of experience taking standardized tests such as the ACT and AP tests and would love to spread my knowledge to my tutees in an exciting and dynamic way.

...improve significantly. My experience working with students has been positive as we work one-on-one and set goals with realistic expectations. I received my medical education (M.D.) from the American University of Antigua in the West Indies and undergraduate education from the University of Massachusetts (BSc). I matriculated into family medicine residency and am working towards medical education goals. I tutor for the USMLE steps, shelf exams, in-house comprehensive exams, and science subjects. My favorite subject...

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.

...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 to meet my new students!

Hello there! I am a current (though almost graduated) student in Chemical Engineering at Georgia Tech. I absolutely love teaching and tutoring, and I have 3 years experience tutoring and just over a year's experience in being a teacher's assistant. I am passionate about math and science, and I love helping people understand new material. Learning is something I have always loved, and I want to share that passion with others.

...English in China for 3 years to students ranging from pre-school to graduate school. More recently, I have been taking lots of STEM classes for my engineering degree. I tutor a wide range of mathematical subjects (up through Calculus 3 and Differential Equations) as well as ESL and Mandarin Chinese. I especially love helping students learn languages. My strategy for tutoring includes making sure the student understands the fundamentals necessary to tackle the problem, checking...

...and most of that is collaborative work, which I think is the best way to learn. I'd love the opportunity to help people out, and create a genuine, peer to peer working environment rather than a teacher-student type one, which is just less fun and a lot harder to learn in. This has always been how I've learned best and I hope that I can help others out with the knowledge I have.

...students at the local high school. While I have studied and tutored biology in most depth, I also have extensive classroom and tutoring experiences in math, physics and chemistry, as well as standardized tests such as the ACT and the SAT + practice tests. I firmly believe in meeting students where they are at with their understanding, and fostering a relationship of trust and openness, and I believe that this makes the process of learning...

...the tools necessary to adapt themselves to learn in new environments. I have experience tutoring and teaching both children and adults. I volunteered as a tutor with a charter school in South Boston before attending law school. As a trial attorney, I also assist with the lawyer training program in which I teach new lawyers trial advocacy and pre-trial litigation skills. From both experiences, I understand the need be goal driven yet flexible so that...

...deep and genuine interest in the subject. I recognize the grave importance of instilling scientific knowledge in our future generations, so it is my goal to help students overcome any struggles or intimidation of the subject. I aim to do this by encouraging the same interest and curiosity in the subject that has lead me to pursue a career in biology. I believe that the key to conquering all things science is to be curious...

...discuss in depth how I can help so we can see if I will be a good fit for your needs and spend some time working on current material. Please email or call me and we can find a time to talk in more detail about a possible arrangement. I look forward to working with you! Here are some excerpts from past students testimonials: We received a letter and a progress report from the director...

...standardized test prep; and peer tutoring college students in business courses. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, math, public speaking, and standardized test prep. I am a firm proponent of equalizing education opportunities, as education is critical for an improved quality of life. I aim to tailor my tutoring style for each of my students to provide them with a personalized learning experience. During my free time...

...write their term papers by helping them shape their ideas into coherent narratives. However, I am proudest to have 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...
