Award-Winning ACT Writing Tutors serving Framingham, MA

...now and have provided academic support to my peers throughout my time as a high school and now college student. Through my religious school, I taught students of all ages, ranging from Pre-K through 8th Grade. In high school, I helped prepare students for AP, SAT, ACT, and SAT subject tests as part of my role in the National Honor Society. I have considerable personal experience with a vast array of subjects and love sharing...

I am a Biophysics and Chemistry double major at Case Western Reserve University with a minor in Computer Science, and I have been a tutor for over 4 year.

...SAT prep (especially SAT Verbal), though I have a wide range of other qualifications. For fun, I enjoy board games (a few favorites: Ghost Stories, Betrayal at House on the Hill, Dominion) and video games (Hearthstone, various indie games, and anything Legend of Zelda!), music (mostly piano, although I'm trying to learn guitar and I love singing with friends), and theater (especially improv comedy - Who's Line is it Anyway, Second City, Upright Citizens Brigade,...

...is about more than the subject at hand; it's about finding the ways in which you learn best and allowing yourself to have what you need, even if it isn't seen as average. Too often, our schools value data over students and forget that education is about discovery and personal growth. As a teacher and tutor, I strive to understand my students individually as whole, complex people. In doing so, I am able to better...

...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 concept in a unique way; for example,...

...give a deeper, contextual understanding about the importance of the subjects you're learning in school. I am a sophomore at Brown University where I major in Urban Studies an interdisciplinary field that covers topics from urban history to statistics. As the news editor at my college daily, I have developed skills in writing and editing, and will help prime your essay so it is clear, effective and well-argued. I especially love writing college admissions essays...

...I was 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...

...science-business. Having just gone through SAT, ACT, and AP tests and also tutoring my peers as treasurer of my school's National Honor Society, I hope to use my experience to benefit other students who are looking for academic help. Outside of school, I have done dance for 8 years. I also love running and hope to continue this at Notre Dame. I'm so excited to continue my education and keep learning, and I hope to...

...have been working with students at all levels on several topics for over a decade. I have a B.S. in physics, and a master's in Nuclear Science and Engineering from WPI. I completed my second master's in particle astrophysics at the university of Strasbourg in France. I love getting students excited about learning and helping them through difficult topics. One of my favorite challenges is working with students to figure out their specific learning styles...

...students 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...

...high school students. I also helped with editing their college essays and answering all of their college questions. Currently, I spend an average of at least 2-3 hours per week in Boston Public School classrooms, where I assist teachers and work with students one-on-one who would benefit from extra help. I do this every semester here at school, averaging 30 hours per semester in classrooms, and I love interacting with students! I also have experience...

...in their skills and become independent learners, while tailoring lessons specifically to their unique needs and interests. I particularly enjoy working with students on test prep, because they often show remarkable and tangible improvement in just a short amount of time. Some of us think we are just not good test takers, but in reality there are tons of strategies and tricks that anyone can employ to make the standardized test taking experience easier and...

A recent graduate from Brown, preparing for a Masters in Biotechnology, looking to refresh and sharpen my foundational knowledge through tutoring.

With experience in the classroom setting for the past three years and tutoring experience for the past five, I provide quality instruction to help the student better understand challenging material and develop skills to master a subject.

...I have extensive tutoring experience. I received my Master's Degree in 2012 from American International College and I am MA State certified in Moderate Special Needs, English and History. I received my BA in Liberal Studies from Westfield State University in 1997 and my 2nd BA in Philosophy from D'Youville College in 2003. As a Special Needs Teacher I plan meaningful lessons based on students' goals, objectives, grade level benchmarks, and common core objectives. I...

...to know what their goals are and how they learn as individuals. As an undergraduate and in graduate school, my best experiences have been those where respect was shown to me as a student. From that respect, my confidence was allowed to grow and self respect for my own growing abilities flourished as well. Only then did I come to understand that taking a programmed approach to students was not the key to success. Seeing...

...beneficial for me (with reinforcing my knowledge, learning a topic I'm unfamiliar, and/or improving my teaching abilities). One of my goals as a tutor for Varsity Tutors is to teach subjects I'm passionate about, such as chemistry, to students who are interested in the topic but need some extra help. I have had wonderful tutors in the past help me in various subjects and believe I'm now at a point to help others better understand...

...background and broadens my knowledge base with which to tutor. My undergraduate major in Accounting provided a technical base largely focused on logic, problem-solving, and factual concepts. Complementing this quantitative foundation with a graduate liberal arts degree in English also relied on logic, but qualitatively enhanced my ability to synthesize and express information with more insight and clarity. Therefore, my two academic areas converge into a holistic view of education which I consider integral to...

...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 of the school tutoring program. She shared that Wyn had seemed to improve in his skills almost overnight, and that an assessment test showed he no longer needed school support. We credit...

I have taught English, French, and Latin at both the middle school and high school levels. I have also tutored students in individual and group settings for the reading and writing portions of the SAT. ... My goals as an educator are to build student confidence, and to help students to set and reach measurable markers of progress.... In a first session, I try to get a read on the student’s needs and personality. Together with...
