Award-Winning AP Physics 2 Tutors serving Somerville, MA

It brings me great joy to help transform a student from struggling to confident in Mathematics and Science.

...physics but didn't have the opportunity to study them in detail, until college. I graduated with a bachelor of science in physics degree from Northeastern University. I am currently a researcher and hope to get my PhD in physics. I tutor math and physics; my favorite subject to teach is physics as I have neat and intuitive tricks that has proved valuable! My philosophy for teaching and learning is, developing a foundational intuition; understanding why...

I am currently a second year Biology undergraduate student at Northeastern University with a diverse foundation in science. For me, the study of medicine piques my curiosity, specifically cardiology and neurology- both of which I hope to pursue in the near future.... I believe in the power of practice. I think the most effective way of teaching is a brief overview with a big emphasis on practicing problems.... I would get to know the student’s strengths...

...undergrad, I was a teaching assistant and tutor for the introductory biochemistry course. I cherished the opportunity to bring peace to students who were facing the stresses of college, and I have always found it equally rewarding for myself when I help a student get an idea to "click" in their head. My tutoring approach focuses on developing notetaking strategies and a systematic approach to breaking down information to form strong connections between ideas. The...

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.

Chemical Engineering major. Currently studying for engineering exams and looking to share my knowledge.

...geometry, and calculus (multi-variable or vector). A strong intuition of maths and the language used to describe physical phenomena is something I have gained in my studies, and lends itself well to teaching these topics to others. In addition, I also teach the classical guitar privately and in several private schools in Upstate New York. I am in my fifth year of instruction, having earned my Associates degree in music performance for classical guitar. I am...

I want to give back to my community by helping ensure that all students have a chance at academic success.

In high school, I took 8 AP classes with no score lower than a 3. I then went to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where I majored in molecuar and cellular biology with a minor in chemistry. During that time, I also tutored fellow peers and underclassmen in organic chemistry, anatomy and physiology, and biology. Post-graduation, I worked for another tutoring company that focused on ACT/SAT preparation. All of my...

...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 shortcuts to double check for common mistakes or help students solve problems even if they get stuck. When I'm not teaching or working on research I...

...to tutor are: math, at any level up to college-level differential equations, and physics, whether at the high school level or a calculus-based college course. My favorite subject to tutor would probably be calculus. When I took calculus in high school, it was pretty life-changing for me, and so I like to help other students see how amazing it can be! I am a patient, understanding tutor. I don't judge: there are no stupid questions!...

As someone who has endured multiple standardized tests and successfully completed high school and college, I understand the importance of tutors.

Hello there! I am a current (though almost graduated) student in Chemical Engineering at Georgia Tech. I absolutely love teaching and tutoring, and I have 3 years experience tutoring and just over a year's experience in being a teacher's assistant. I am passionate about math and science, and I love helping people understand new material. Learning is something I have always loved, and I want to share that passion with others.

...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 both patient and eager to help each of...

...graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I received my Bachelor of Science in Economics from the MIT Economics Department, and my B.S. in Management from the Sloan School of Management. I have tutored many high schoolers and college students for the past 7 years. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math, Economics, and Physics. I am a firm believer in furthering education to help not only with test...

I recently graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology with my Bachelor's and Master's degree in mechanical engineering Summa Cum Laude with the Outstanding Undergraduate Student award. I enjoy helping people with understanding physics, math, and other STEM concepts.

...is to use my aptitude and experience as a problem solver and communicator to help my students to acquire new skills and 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...

...I attended an all-male boarding and day school for high school, and was given a 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...

...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. Once I had more classes under my belt, I became a tutor for my college's science center during my junior and senior...

...where I am doing research through the Veterinary school. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about math, chemistry, and neuroscience. I am a firm believer that natural ability has little to do with success in a subject. Everyone can succeed at math or chemistry if they are engaged, having fun, and most importantly, understand the necessary underlying concepts. In my spare time, I enjoy playing competitive ultimate frisbee, soccer,...
