Award-Winning Algebra Tutors serving Somerville, MA

Hello! I have been a mathematics teacher for over 10 years, teaching many subjects ranging from basic math through Calculus and various age groups ranging from middle school through college. This has allowed me to become very experienced in teaching and helping students to understand and excel on their own. I have recently become a mother and hence now spend the majority of my time and energy entertaining an infant.

...before becoming a rowing coach. I love to travel, read, and learn, and I love to share knowledge and learning experiences with others. Economics and English/literature are the two subjects I enjoy studying, and by extension teaching, the most, because they present two entirely different frameworks for understanding the world. I hope that I can pass on my curiosity, open-mindedness, and genuine love of the learning process to my students. In my spare time, I...

...Therapy Program. I have tutored for six years both for work and volunteering. I began tutoring in high school as a part time job. I mainly tutored middle school students in math. During my undergraduate education, I volunteered as a tutor for elementary students. I also tutored ESL to a refugee from South Sudan; we prepared for the citizenship exam (which he passed) and worked on his reading and speaking skills. My experience as well...

...received my BS and MS in Mathematics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. While I was there, I tutored middle school-, high school-, and college-aged students in everything from Algebra I through Differential Equations. The main thing I love about tutoring and teaching mathematics is providing students with a foundation to discover the various principles on their own (rather than rote memorization of "if you see this, do that") and them realizing the joy...

...them, whereas auditory learners benefit much more from a verbal explanation. I also think that the most important part of learning is figuring things out by yourself, so my teaching style largely consists of providing support in addition to explanations and challenges that help my students learn to think creatively in order to solve problems. As a recent high school graduate, I understand the pressures associated with standardized test preparation and the importance of tests...

...Masters in Software Engineering. After graduation, I worked as a derivatives trader for over a decade. I was fortunate to teach over a dozen classes in statistics, probability and decision making. Given my rigorous training in the sciences, my teaching philosophy revolves around optimization and iteration. I am a firm believer that different students learn in different ways. As a tutor, I believe it is my responsibility to develop a process specific to a student's...

...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 hope that...

...the University of Massachusetts - Amherst. I live in Brighton now and am currently applying to full-time jobs. I am very friendly and outgoing and have lots of experience with kids of all ages and all personalities (believe me)! I've been babysitting for almost 10 years and have spent many summers either lifeguarding or coaching my local dive team. I'm thinking of teaching as a possible career and would love to gain some experience professionally...

...we would review. I encourage students to bring all necessary items to their session for maximum effective use of their time. By being prepared in this particular way we can build on the students classroom organizational skills in addition to helping in any area of the curriculum that they may need help on. Mathematics is the universal language. Learning this at a young age had a profound impact on me. It inspired my interest in...

...health policy, public safety, and budgeting. My favorite part of my work is coaching junior staff and college interns on data analytics and how to use tools such as Tableau, R, and Excel, and I want to bring this experience to tutoring.
