Award-Winning AP Physics 1 Tutors serving Boston, MA

I am a PhD in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics and Material Science. I have good research experience working with types of advanced material and instruments. I have good teaching experience and have been teaching for more than 10 years. I love to teach and feel happy when my students get a bright future.

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.

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.

...in school stems from the fact that the topics are approached in a rigid "one size fits all" manner. I will work with each student to tailor their learning experience to their likes and dislikes. Rather than use boring, generic objects I will use subject matter directly related to the student's interests. Furthermore, I understand that not everybody learns in the same manner. I excel at auditory learning while many others prefer visual information. I...

...Science Education Master's student at Harvard University, I have learned science and math at a high standard, but, more importantly, have been taught how to frame my knowledge in fun and easy to understand ways. Although I am extremely passionate about all forms of science and math, I have discovered that my true passion is in teaching. I want to not only help my students learn, but to actually get them excited about what they...

At the core, I love learning and find it fun. In teaching, I try to convey that sense of fun to my students. I use a variety of techniques depending on my student's learning style, but I always focus on the fun of learning new things.... In a first session with a student, I would introduce the basic concepts and core questions of the subject, and determine my student's learning style in order to plan future...

...a passion for the new and the innovative. I enjoy researching new things in physics and technology and learning new ways of thinking about things I already know. My main interest, however, is alternative energy and sustainable technologies. I pride myself on being a friendly and charismatic person, with the ability to make people comfortable around me and also understand the importance of what I am communicating. I am thorough and meticulous in my method of...

...in nanotechnology research and development. I worked as a teaching assistant throughout my graduate school years (which there were seven of!), also taking on a number of private tutoring students during that time. My teaching experience has been in physics and in several areas of mathematics, from algebra through calculus. I've also tutored my own children successfully through math and physics over the years. I enjoy teaching these subjects because students can be helped to...

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.

...of Science in Quantitative Economics and Political Science with a minor in Computer Science. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about teaching math, economics, and the SAT. I love the process of walking a student through a problem as the logic behind it slowly starts to unfold and they finally achieve that "AHA" moment. I have tutored students of all ages from elementary school to college, but I believe...

...physics and mathematics student from the University of Rhode Island. There, I discovered the teachings of renowned physicist Richard Feynman which, compressed, might read: "if you really understand something, then you can explain it to your grandmother." I spend a lot of my free time reading and writing, and am currently working my way through Dubliners, a series of stories by James Joyce. I also play guitar and know upwards of several hundred songs.

...and turning things invisible. I've 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...

...been there, and I've learned over the years that one of the best things to do in that situation is reach out to tutors for help! I myself used Varsity Tutors as a high school student and cannot emphasize enough how much it helped me. I am a student at the University of Connecticut, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Biology (which is also my favorite subject). I cover a wide range of subjects (social...

...of Arts in Mathematics. Aside from my math courses, I enjoyed taking classes in physics, computer science, music, and studio arts. During the summer of 2023, I participated in research with one of my math professors through the Bard Summer Research Institute. In order to prove one of the central conjectures of our research, I created my own math which I further developed in my senior thesis, titled "Finding Maximal Cap Sizes for Quad Card...

...Neuroscience and an A.B. in Economics. Although I tutor a range of different subjects, I enjoy tutoring Physics and Math the most. I am passionate about tutoring because I like guiding my students and helping them see problems in a much less complicated way. I have 5+ years of experience teaching and tutoring students of all levels from elementary school to college. Over the past years, I have loved seeing the same students who had...

...a math minor. I have 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...

...other students! I love teaching and helping others succeed because I know how much of a positive difference it made in helping me reach my own personal academic and professional goals. I graduated from Noble and Greenough School in 2011 with Highest Distinction. I then attended Harvard University where I played for the Varsity Women's Soccer team for 3 years, majored in Neurobiology and minored in Global Health and Health Policy, graduating in 2015 with...

Every student has his or her own learning strengths and weaknesses. A Good teacher is able to discern those strengths and weaknesses, and tailor the lessons to match the student's optimal learning method. I try to determine the student's learning strengths and weaknesses as part of my tutoring effort, so that the student can get the most out of our sessions.
