Award-Winning Algebra Tutors serving Newton, MA

...loved helping people learn. Watching another person undergo the "AHA" moment is one of the best experiences, I believe, someone can have. I have taught briefly at the high school level and assisted at the graduate level, and I have found that I am skilled at adjusting and catering my teaching abilities to students with different past experiences that require different ways of learning. I am currently a practicing biostatistician and a PhD student in...

I will soon be entering another degree program at Boston University, this time for a masters degree in teaching. Teaching and tutoring are not a...

...love. Through the years, academic learning continues to build on itself. I believe that it is important to help students ensure that they have a solid grasp on what they are learning now so that they can add to it in the future and see how far their studies can take them. As STEM fields continue to grow in importance, there is a sharper focus on math-related subjects. While these areas of study are critical,...

...With a little guidance, learners can easily correspond expressions in their native language As a tutor, I tutored for the German department at my school at the beginner and intermediate levels. Due to my formal education in the language, I am familiar with a variety of textbooks that might be needed on the way.

...'proven risk' youth between the ages of 16 and 24. While working in UTEC's educational wing, I have taught high school history classes in partnership with Lowell Public Schools and served as the organization's main adult education instructor for youth enrolled in the workforce development program. I've also developed curricula across five different content areas. When I'm not teaching, I read, write, and support the mighty Arsenal in their latest Premier and Champions' League campaigns.

MY goal is to make a students life a little bit easier with each session by staying on top of their work and understanding the content to the best of their abilities. School can be hard and a significant stressor in a child's life and I will aim to help reduce that stress and hopefully make school more enjoyable.

...University with a Master of Science in Civil & Environmental Engineering.

I firmly believe that in order for...
