Award-Winning AP Calculus BC Tutors serving Somerville, MA

...subjects my entire life. I love science and math, and my particular strengths are biology, calculus, genetics, and algebra, although I enjoy reading and writing as well. My tutoring philosophy is to simplify information into a form that almost anyone can understand. I usually do this by gauging a student's background information on a subject, starting with the basics and working up in complexity, until I can determine and focus on what a student is...

...Since then, I've been teaching high school mathematics, although I'm passionate about a broad range of other subjects as well. I've never had the opportunity to tutor professionally before joining Varsity Tutors, but I'm excited to help students meet their education goals and spark their curiosity for learning. I love to be creative in everything I do, which shines through in my work, both professionally and in my personal creative endeavors and passion projects.

...or learning differences! What sets me apart from other tutors is my personalized approach. I do not believe in a one size fits all tutoring method. Rather, together, I hope to discover how you learn best. Whether that be visually, verbally, kinetically, or a mash-up of many different learning methods. I'll tailor each lesson to match your style and work to help you excel outside of our time together by helping you understand how to...

...2016. I have routinely tutored students throughout high school and college in both individual and group settings. Additionally I have tutored students for one time drop in sessions and recurring sessions. I have the most experience tutoring for math courses ranging from basic math to calculus. I have also tutored some basic physics courses, and meteorology courses. My tutoring style is casual and collaborative with the student. I like to work a problem or problem...

I'm a graduate of Northeastern University, having earned a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry with a minor in History. I'm passionate about cancer research and I'm currently a PhD student at Yale.

I am a recent graduate from Cornell University, with a degree in Biological Sciences and a concentration in Genetics, Genomics, and Development, and a minor in Jewish Studies. I'll soon be headed to med school, but in the meantime, I want to help kiddos learn math and science in a way that makes it fun and accessible!

...These study sessions eventually became AP Calculus and SAT Math preparation, to which I dedicated tens if not hundreds of hours to mastering. However, most of the time I used to study for these tests I did not have the benefit of a teacher or tutor's guidance, which is why I am extremely happy and grateful to help students obtain the scores that will ultimately allow them to get into their dream schools. I am...

I'm a recent graduate from University of Minnesota. I completed a dual degree in psychology and mathematics. I have been tutoring for more than a year and I am looking forward to meeting new students here and helping them achieve their goals.

...on my first try, I am excited to help students with writing and editing services for personal statements, secondary applications, AMCAS most meaningful activities, Common App essays, or supplementary college essays. I also offer USMLE Step 1 and 2 tutoring. I help students brainstorm ideas and personal examples that showcase their strengths. I believe that essays can truly set students apart during the application process, so I do my best to communicate with students and...

...My favorite of these subjects is history because you learn about so many interesting events and people from the past, and studying history enhances your understanding of the world we live in today. I believe that the best way to help students learn is to build a close relationship with the student to better understand how they learn and make them comfortable asking questions. I also like to provide students with written examples and practice...

As a tutor in test prep (SAT/ACT/SSAT/AP), I aim to help my students learn subject matter solidly enough to teach it themselves. I have four years of experience in online tutoring through the Russian School of Mathematics. My VA research, 1st placement in MA Science Olympiad, and perfect AP scores in Calc BC, Eng Lang, Chem, and Bio give me the expertise to transform your student into an academic weapon.

...High School In Massachusetts and I am currently attending Boston University studying Physics and Math. I tutor upper level Physics and Math, namely AP Physics C Mechanics, AP Physics C E&M, AP Calculus BC/AB, and the other AP Physics courses. I do have experience teaching little kids from ages 5-12 as well. My favorite subjects to teach are calculus and physics with calculus. This is simply because I think these subjects are the coolest subjects,...

...new cultures and languages; I am able to speak three languages fluently. My goal as a tutor is to provide students with the utmost comfortability in asking questions and learning to their full potential without any hesitation or concern about answering a question incorrectly, after all, in order to learn we all make mistakes. Initially, I seek to understand the learning styles of all of my students and how they feel most comfortable learning. This...

...the young learner doesn't have to maintain all the information from the discussion in their heads. My minor in computer science stemmed from my desire to pursue a career in educational technology. Technology can make learning more interactive and engaging for students no matter the subject, and I am interested in designing software that makes the learning process fun. Next September, I will begin working toward my Masters in Computer Science at Northeastern University to...

...comes from my time as a Math Lecturer at Northeastern University. Per this, I prefer to work in Math subjects, though I am not against Physics, Programming, or other related topics. My philosophy of teaching is that a student should never be punished or shamed for asking a question, and moreover that my time is best spent on students who are struggling with the topic at hand - students who already "get it" don't really...

...time her when she said, "We'll move on in a few minutes." As my mathematics education advanced through the years, math became less of a study of algorithms and how to compute, and more of a study of elegance. In Calculus, we learn the sophistication of the exponential function and how its value at a point is also its slope, and how we can use this to our advantage in differential equations. My lifelong love...

...in Mathematics. I have been tutoring since the start of high school, helping my peers with algebra, geometry, calculus, and chemistry. I am also an undergraduate learning assistant for college-level introductory chemistry and biophysical chemistry. My main focus as a tutor is on math and chemistry at all levels of experience, although I am especially well-suited to help clients in high school or beginning college. I also help with math/science preparation for the SAT/ACT.
