Award-Winning Calculus Tutors serving Framingham, MA

...the area, my style is to guide a student to an understanding rather than directly provide answers to their questions. This way, they not only get help with the topics they find challenging, but also learn how to recognize what they understand about a problem and what they do not, and how to navigate complexity and vagueness to arrive at answers themselves. This approach is far more effective in terms of understanding and retention than...

My name is Farzana Patwa and I recently graduated from NYU Steinhardt with a Masters in Teaching Secondary Mathematics. I have 3+ years in tutoring and teaching computer science and math.

I hope to make math and computer science more fun and accessible for my students!

...intimidating to many. Every student has their own way of learning. My job is to figure out how my students learn and work within that framework to demystify these subjects. Everyone starts life as a scientist, questioning everything in their environment, and my goal is to bring my students back to their inherent inquisitive nature. In my spare time I enjoy playing board games with friends, experimenting in the kitchen, and amateur blacksmithing.

I am a graduate of Clemson University, where I earned a Master of Science degree in Mathematics. I take a student centered and inquiry-based approach, and over the past 6 years, I have helped so many students achieve their academic goals.

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 and how things work last forever. It is the "eureka!" moment which gets my...

...golden rule of thumb I learned from my 3+ years of tutoring experience at Fitchburg State, is, a tutor should never give the answer to a tutee/student. Meaning, at every one of my tutoring sessions, I'll first ask the student what s/he understands from the problem. Then if a clear understanding is not there, I'll do an example problem similar to the one in the student's assignment. After going through the example problem, I'll let...

...a teaching assistant, and a supplemental instructor for various math courses. I also tutored nearby high school students in trigonometry and algebra II. Now, I teach 9th grade (Algebra I) and 11th grade (precalculus) at a high school in Boston. When I'm not teaching (or grading), I enjoy biking, reading, cooking, and baking. I'm also a huge baseball fan - it's my goal to get to all 30 major league stadiums (only 9 to go)!
