Award-Winning Algebra Tutors in Waltham, MA

...tutoring because not only do I get to help a student succeed but I improve on my teaching skills at the same time. Wanting to be a professor is doing more than research to me; I want to inspire students and show them the wonder and excitement I see in Physics and Math. Aside from doing Physics and teaching, I really love exercising. Being mentally and physically fit is really important to me. I also...

...and I can try to help you love it too (probably not as much as me). If I can't make you love it, I can at least teach you how to use it. There are many different ways to teach and learn math and I can find the right way for you. I have vast experience working with all types of students and subjects, and I know that I can find the right way for...

...country, and I am a total geek when it comes to French grammar. Similarly, I love playing with and examining the English language, whether in preparation for the reading section of a Standardized Test or for a college essay. I believe that students learn best when they are able to uncover the "why," not just the "what," and it is my goal to create an environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes....

...coming from Boston, I wanted to continue the work 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...

...as a graduate student I was a Teaching Assistant for many courses and many undergraduate students. As part of my graduate study of physics, I am well versed in all grade school and college-level mathematics. The teaching style I have developed through my own experience, as well as keeping up with the results of physics education research, follows a Socratic principle. Students should be carefully guided as they pursue their own understanding, and should be...

...years ago, as I have been working at camps, completing field work in college, and now teaching. I have taught all subjects from kindergarten to sixth grade, as well as Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, and History up to eighth grade. I will be spending this summer in Allston, as I will be teaching an Autistic Support classroom for Boston Public Schools' ESY program. With me, you'll be getting a dedicated individual who has a...

...not necessarily into, or going into, the field. Physics is all around us, and most people have an intuitive understanding of many of its concepts. What I enjoy most is turning that intuitive understanding into a systematic understanding, which can then be applied to other systems in nature, showing how seemingly disparate situations actually share many similarities. I really enjoy showing how the simple act of knowing how to open a door can lead to...

...skill set when it comes to attacking questions on tests; this especially comes in handy when working towards Standardized Tests. I tutor a wide range of subjects, but my favorites are Math and Science. I also have a large amount of experience in Competition Math and Science, and thoroughly enjoy the challenge they present. Outside of tutoring and my job as a veterinarian, I enjoy spending time with my family and I am an avid...

Young professional in the world of software and technology with a passion for working with mobile devices. Loves playing board games and following major trends in economic and technology sectors. I studied computer science at Northeastern University and am personally enamored...... The most effective way to master something is to teach it yourself. Taking on the role of both mentor and student makes learning an interactive and rewarding process.... Understanding their goals is the most important - what kind of motivation are they going to need? Do they prefer detailed instruction or would they rather work at their own pace and ask questions? Also understanding the student's workflow is important - how often they receive homework assignments, or if they'd prefer to work on test preparation or study skills.

...collaborated with the high school’s Algebra teachers to ensure that students were provided the correct instructional and material support. Prior to moving to Virginia, I worked in program coordination for a California after school program and also substituted in the classroom, providing tutoring services for students from first to fifth grade. I have also tutored in supplementary educational services (SES) programs as an in-home tutor for middle school students (subjects include Middle School Algebra and...
