Award-Winning Arithmetic Tutors serving Framingham, MA

...use multiple approaches while teaching, and present ideas as visually and tangibly as possible. One of the dangers of learning math is that students memorize the method for solving a problem but do not realize the underlying concepts. I do my best to ensure that students recognize the broader concepts. Because math builds on itself, it is also very important to look at past topics that relate to students’ current lessons. There is not always...

...reviewing grammar; public speaking; SAT prep; and study skills and organization, because each of these areas boosts overall academic success and builds a student's self-confidence. In any subject, I focus on study skills, critical thinking, and independent concept reinforcement so that soon the student will no longer need me to excel. Some of my own favorite subjects to study include languages (I've studied Arabic, Spanish, Latin, and a sprinkling of Japanese), medieval history, and electrical...

...I plan to pursue teaching certification for high school math. I am patient, flexible, and enjoy discovering which approaches work most effectively for each individual I work with. Every student is different, and as a result, every student learns differently as well. I have thoroughly enjoyed each of my previous experiences working with high school students, particularly in an academic setting. Teaching and tutoring math allows me to share my interests with students while quelling...

...many, I believe that, with effort and guidance, anyone can learn to write well. I enjoy helping students acquire the skills that will allow them to express themselves clearly and fluidly. I take a similar approach to teaching reading, literature, and math.

Now, back in my hometown of Boston, I tutor students in the Sciences,...

...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 the sciences: as an engineer I have a deep appreciation for how theory in textbooks translates into real world applications. In my experience, the most important component of the tutor/student relationship is the tutor's ability to inspire and to broaden the student's imagination.... This answer strongly...

...from tutoring kindergartners in their first exposure to language arts and middle school students in algebra and reading, to assisting with lower-division collegiate math courses. I particularly enjoy helping students gain confidence with math. I believe that all students are capable of understanding math, and I seek to help them explore mathematical concepts in a way that makes the subject less abstract and more intuitive. Outside of the classroom, my passion is competitive Ballroom and...

...Tulsa, OK and came to Boston for college. I studied Biomedical Engineering at both Boston University during undergrad and Tufts University for my masters. After much thought, I deviated from a medical school track to pursue a career in the medical device industry. My love for math and science started around middle school, and I was strongly influenced by my teachers. Through tutoring, I hope to be a similar influence. I really enjoy working with...

...teaching method is two-fold. I provide well thought out explanations of concepts and work to solve problems with my students. Secondly, I present them with ways to learn and find out information in a way that they will be able to use when i'm not there.

I am a undergraduate student studying Robotics Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. I live in Portland, Oregon in the summer but right now I'm in Worcester, Massachusetts. I love working with students and teaching math!... I like to establish a personal connection with students before teaching so they are more willing to work with me and learn.

I grew up tutoring three of my siblings and their friends in Math throughout Middle and High School. During that time, I also coached swimming and soccer. Over the years, I've learned to show same concepts in multiple ways depending on the person I'm tutoring. And I've built up a considerable tolerance and patience through years of tutoring people with different personalities.
