Award-Winning Algebra 2 Tutors serving Newton, MA

...of subjects, but would highlight on physics 1, analytical writing, chemistry, and biology as the core subjects I have the most experience with. As a tutor, I believe an environment where any and all questions related to the content at hand can be openly asked, without judgement, is the best ground for learning and what I aim to foster with my students. Especially in STEM, where concepts are dense and need to be repeatedly practiced...

...had an interest in teaching either Math or Science but chose a different career path. I keep my passion for teaching and helping others in the subjects I am interested in through tutoring; it is something I thoroughly enjoy doing while helping students excel and achieve their potential in areas they might be struggling in. I have been tutoring in the greater Boston area for the last nine years and have found it rewarding watching...

...I have 3 years of experience tutoring ages 9-16. My last two years of high school, I volunteer tutored middle school students for my chapter of the National Honors Society in math, reading, social studies, Spanish, and science. Two summers ago, I ran my own tutoring business, where I tutored math through Algebra II (helping a student through her online class), ACT/SAT prep for a rising 9th grader, reading comprehension and writing skills for a...

...that I organized in the Peace Corps, and tutoring college students as a teacher's assistant for Genetics during my undergraduate degree. I love to work with students to help expand their knowledge and assist them to maximize their full learning potential. I teach a lot of subjects but my passion lies in the sciences and statistics, especially in environmental science, biology, chemistry, and biostats. I believe that there are so many ways to achieve an...

...worked as a tutor at a K-8 school for the past three years. At this school, I am also the Science Olympiad coach where I teach a range of different science events. As a tutor, I come up with plans to help students achieve their goals based on their age, the subject, and their desire for improvement in certain areas. Math and science are my strong suit and what I am most passionate about tutoring....

I am extremely passionate about mathematics, but I know that the average person can find it daunting and impossible. Many times, students express to me that they are just "bad at math" and they create a barrier for themselves. I'm a firm believer that anyone can learn how to do math well, it just takes some patience, hard work, and, for some, a good guide along the way.

...due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers...

...commitment to my students and their success in the class. Since graduation, I have conducted research in Radiation Oncology at the Massachusetts General Hospital and am pursuing a medical degree. While I come from a science background, I have experience tutoring a broad range of subjects, including English, Math, and Standardized testing. I truly believe every student can succeed in any class with the right tools and a lot of hard work. I look forward...

...II, Geometry, and Precalculus. Tutoring allows me to do what I love while simultaneously helping students become successful confident math students. My teaching/tutoring style is flexible and unique to each student. I encourage students to think for themselves rather than give them the answers. It is important that students learn how to approach different problems using prior knowledge. I encourage them to do that while also giving them the math support they need before frustration...

I 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...

I am a senior Chemistry major at Cornell University on the pre-med track and in the process of applying to medical school. I would love to share my knowledge in the sciences and standardized test strategies that I have acquired in my academic career.

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...

...take risks with the material. I strongly believe that all students are capable of accessing higher-level mathematics and I'm passionate about facilitating those access points accordingly. I'm an advocate for the idea that mistakes support learning, meaning I use students' errors and misconceptions as vessels to develop deeper understanding and proficiency. I try to keep my questions as open-ended as possible so that I can guide students' growth while also allowing them the space to...

I graduated cum laude from Cornell University and currently work in academia. I love science and learning! As a sciences and history of science double major, I find great value in being able to effectively communicate science topics to non-scientific audiences. Let me help you learn to love learning and studying efficiently :).

...improved. I strongly encourage students to seek one-on-one support, especially outside of school, because it is a great way to understand all the material you need to know in a less stressful setting and get ahead in your classes. I work as a substitute teacher in a public school district, where I have the opportunity to teach students K-12. When I was a member of the National Honors Society in high school, I tutored my...

...worked with individuals as a swim coach, ski instructor, lifeguard captain, and mental health counselor among other experiences. My passions include the outdoors, athletics, science topics, working as part of a team, and being an ocean rescue lifeguard during the summer. I became interested in tutoring after receiving feedback from younger family members who told me I was much more effective than the paid tutors they were using. I am currently preparing to apply to...

...taught math and science to students at all levels, from middle school to graduate students, with a focus on universally accessible, engaging presentations. If students are bored or confused it means I'm not doing my job, so I try to foster a conversational teaching style. My background - undergrad: applied physics at Cornell University, PhD: theoretical physics at MIT, postdoc: research scientist at University of Colorado Boulder - has given me insight into tricks and...

...students working past dyslexia, and the anger of children from broken homes. I have learned that what most students want and need is not primarily to be told what to do and how to solve their problems, but first to be listened to. And so that is what I want to offer. I am here to take your problems seriously, however big or small you may think you are, however silly you may feel admitting...

...had questions, proctoring examinations, and grading their assignments. Occasionally, I had the opportunity to handle a group of students from the class in a separate classroom which I was responsible for operating, where I instructed the students how to complete their assignments. Currently, I am a teaching assistant for Physics 131, where I am responsible for helping the students out with their in-class assignments and am required to proctor examinations. My responsibilities as a teaching...
