Award-Winning ACT Writing Tutors serving Newton, MA

...an obscure book for pleasure in a library corner, we are engaging with the words and ideas of others and measuring them for their value, use and relevance. Thinking is never done in total isolation anyway but rather is always a social exercise and activity. The best teaching and learning then, I think, allows us to consider knowledge, from the most practical to the most abstract, as both social exercise and activity. This means, as...

I am a mechanical engineer working in the medical device manufacturing industry. I am interested in assisting young learners with their STEM courses.

I majored in Biology and Global Studies at UCLA! I've been tutoring with GRE, SAT, ACT prep programs for four years, and I specialize in the Math sections.

More recently, I also finished my Master of Arts in Teaching degree from the Massachusetts College of Art & Design, and have teaching experience in the high school art classroom. Working with students one-on-one, finding ways to help them understand the material, and building personal relationships has always been a passion...

...material. I have had success in the classroom because I respect every person I teach and I truly want 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...

...class at Arena Stage, an award-winning regional theater in DC, and I currently work for the WGBH Educational Foundation as a host on WCRB Classical Radio Boston.

In my spare time, I...

...MA, but I am a student at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. I take pride in being a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to academia. I have experience tutoring across the gamut of academic subjects, including in English as a Foreign Language and in Mandarin Chinese. With each of my past tutees I have worked to not only enhance their understanding of the curriculum, but also to help them find the motivation, study skills, discipline...

...major at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. A lot of my time at school is spent working, 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 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 to optimize their academic...

...on in the world. My favorite topics to tutor include the wonderful subjects of English and Social Studies! My teaching philosophy is relaxed and laid back- I believe that in order to learn, the student must be comfortable with the teacher and that there must be a strong relationship between the two in order for there to be success. I am also a strong proponent to the philosophy of instilling self-confidence in students, and believe...

...with a BS in Biology and a BA in Psychology. I plan to attend dental school in the future. My experience tutoring Biology and Math has taught me the importance of getting through to each student as an individual, and that every person's learning style is different. I believe the most valuable learning comes when students are encouraged to solve problems using their own basic knowledge and skills, rather than being told to memorize a...

My history experiences covers Europe, America, and Latin America, although I have...

...in 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...

fun, outgoing tutor, constantly considering the needs and personalities of my students, in order to empathize with them and customize their experience. There is no more rewarding feeling than helping students overcome frustrating boundaries and re-emphasizing their self confidence.... Listening is important. I try to let students advocate for themselves, and be detailed in describing what part of the assignment they're having difficulty with. I find visual, real-life anecdotes help get concepts across to students. Patience...
