Award-Winning AP Physics 2 Tutors serving Quincy, MA

...have a Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Toronto; my professional and scientific interests lie in metabolic engineering, cell biology, and bioinformatics. I began my tutoring career in high school as a peer tutor, where I spent my free study periods in departmental offices offering academic support on a drop-in basis. In college I also enjoyed tutoring my friends when they wanted some extra academic support. My passion is for mathematics and...

One of the most important skills necessary to being a tutor is the ability to convey difficult topics in a tangible, easy-to-understand manner. That is a skill I possess in spades. I have the drive necessary in order to make sure that each student I work with gains a mastery over their subjects, and always try to use real-world examples in order to ensure that my students are able to understand even more complex concepts....

I am an engineering graduate living in Boston with years of experience in academic tutoring. I'm very visual (diagrams etc.), and I put a lot of focus on identifying specific points of misunderstanding that can be addressed to make the learning process easier.

I am a physics PhD student at Harvard trained in mathematics, physics, and computer science at Stanford where I did my undergraduate studies. I have been tutoring and teaching for the last 9 years, including math tutoring and teaching online computer science classes at Stanford. Through teaching, I aim to empower students to think creatively and be able to solve a wide range of problems through general strategies and problem-solving techniques.

...own curriculum and planned all of the lessons. I learned how to explain concepts in an engaging and clear manner to a wide age range of students. While my traditional experience focused on the sciences, I am an avid reader and musician and am fully capable of tutoring a wide variety of subjects. As of late, I have been reading a lot of "Johns": Irving, Steinbeck, and Green. My other passion is music. I love...

...a mentor and user coordinator at a student-run machine shop at MIT, I supervised shop users to ensure safety and appropriate handling of tools and managed a team that ran orientation sessions for all new members. I also trained new members on proper operation and safety for 3D printers, waterjets, laser cutters, desktop CNC mills, and vinyl cutters. During my undergraduate studies at MIT, I was a lab assistant (similar to a TA) for a...

...reach their learning goals. My teaching philosophy is based on experiential learning, which simply put means that my students learn by doing. Whenever possible instead of solving a single problem, I will give my student skills or frameworks to solve many problems. My experience comes from tutoring and teaching for over 10 years while I completed my undergraduate and masters degrees in physics. As much as I enjoyed physics research I enjoyed the challenge of...

Hi! My name is Adriana, and I'm an MIT undergrad studying Urban Planning. I loved math in science in school, but know that it can be frustrating and easy to dislike when taught in a way that is difficult to understand, or when it seems useless and pointless to learn. My goal is to get students not only to perform well in these subjects, but to fully comprehend and enjoy them.

...believe that understanding why a solution works is much more important than simply memorizing. Earning my master's degree in education and becoming a teacher was my mid-life crisis. Before that, I worked in industry as a chemical engineer and then a project manager for many years after earning my Bachelor of Science at Cornell University. While I tutor a range of subjects, my favorites are chemistry and physics because I think that they are the...

...research, I created my own math which I further developed in my senior thesis, titled "Finding Maximal Cap Sizes for Quad Card Decks Using Share Strings" which can be found in the Bard Digital Commons. During school, I was always enthusiastic about tutoring my classmates and helping my friends with their math or math-oriented classes. My goal as a tutor is to help my tutees grow as independent learners, develop strong and healthy study habits,...

I have always had a knack for seeing multiple solutions to a given problem (even receiving a little gag award for our fifth grade graduation, titled: "I have a better way to do that" award). In addition to the natural joy I get from tutoring, I also enjoy solving the puzzle of determining which solution method matches best with how each student learns and thinks.

I'm a University of Massachusetts Amherst, B.S. Biochemistry and Neuroscience candidate. I tutor STEM subjects and I've been a TA in some of my college courses. My tutoring philosophy is to let the student guide the tutor in what they want to be taught and for the tutor to step in when necessary.

I have tutored for two years. I excelled in math and science courses throughout school and would love the opportunity to help you do the same.

...My favourite subjects to tutor are physics and chemistry because of my extensive lab experience over the last few years. I love experiments and creating my own projects and I hope I can pass this passion onto others. My tutoring style involes a lot of interaction with the student on zoom. I'm able to draw on the computer screen and I can convey information very easily. I also build custom timeline which targets a student's...

...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 styles to optimize their academic performance.

...Spanish was the first language I learned to read and write in. Since then have continued to use these skills in communicating with my family and friends. In high school, I took 3 years of Spanish at a native leave where we practiced our communication skills while learning about Hispanic history. If nothing else, I hope to evoke a thirst for knowledge and an appreciation for community, in those who I have the opportunity to...

...lot of opportunities to pursue advanced coursework and opportunities that weren't available to 99% of students in the area. As a result, I've joined Varsity Tutors as an effort to give back and try to help students get excited about learning various subjects, employing many of the methods that allowed me to succeed. While I tutor a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about standardized test prep, math (all levels), writing, and economics.

I received my Ph.D. in Chemistry from MIT, where I was a Presidential Fellow and a Dept. of Defense Graduate Fellow, and my B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Tufts University, Summa Cum Laude with Highest Thesis Honors. Over the course of my scientific research career I have produced 14 research publications, given 12 talks at international conferences, including the largest annual Physics,...

...tutored was in high school. During my junior and senior years I helped out a small group of younger students in math and German. I really enjoyed building relationships with my students. I was also a tutor throughout all four years of college. My freshman and sophomore years I was a math tutor, helping out primarily with statistics. I would tutor students individually, attend extra classes to have up-to-date notes, and hold exam review sessions....
