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.

...me a great tutor. I have tutored Greek and Latin during my undergraduate studies and taught English in China for 3 years to students ranging from pre-school to graduate school. More recently, I have been taking lots of STEM classes for my engineering degree. I tutor a wide range of mathematical subjects (up through Calculus 3 and Differential Equations) as well as ESL and Mandarin Chinese. I especially love helping students learn languages. My strategy...

...of 2016. As the oldest of three siblings, I have spent a lot of time huddled around math and science textbooks, explaining concepts and helping my brother and sister see problems the way I do. I believe strongly that the student gains nothing from the tutor who does their work for them, so I go out of my way to make sure each student understands that grasping the concepts is much more important than solving...

...for every individual. However, I will work with students to teach them individually in a way that makes sense to them. Outside of tutoring and studying, you'll most likely see me on the soccer field. As a goalkeeper on the Colgate University soccer team, I spend a lot of time training individually and with my team. I also love spending time in nature and am president of an improv comedy club at Colgate University.

...Arlington High School. I earned a Master of Arts degree in Teaching from Northeastern University and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. Working with young people gives me instant feedback and motivates me to match their enthusiasm. It is powerful to me to relate with the students in their personal lives. Further, it is deeply satisfying to guide them as they navigate their academic experiences.

In my experience, students...

...and theoretical biophysics. I know that STEM classes can be 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...

...teaching philosophy that a teacher has to excel in three main domains, specifically that of an instructor, a mentor, and a professional. To enhance the educational experience of students, a teacher in the biological sciences has to possess an exceptional skill in creating the appropriate course sequence to teach complex concepts to students from diverse scientific areas. My love for teaching begun from the time I was a graduate student. I taught classes in the...

I graduated with a B.S. and M.S. in Molecular and Cellular Biology from Johns Hopkins University (GPA 4.0). I worked as a peer-learning session leader for Genetics and Physics undergraduate courses. I was also a TA for General Biology. I recently took the MCAT and scored in the 100th percentile. I look forward to using my experience, both on the exam and in teaching, to help you substantially increase your performance and reach your potential.

...semesters in a class of 100-150 students. I worked with students both in class and one-on-one. My teaching style depends on individual student needs and background. If a student is new to the topic and has little to no background in the area, my style is to break down the concepts to their most basic elements and explain how these elements interact to give the full picture. I tend to ask questions in the process...

...toward a double major in mathematics and Italian Studies, as well as a minor in physics. I peer tutored in all four years of high school in various levels of mathematics, biology, and Latin. Now, at my college I am a Learning Assistant for undergraduate multivariable calculus students and elementary Italian students. I have the most fun leading small group study sessions before exams, where we fine-tune the skills and study habits necessary to succeed...

I am a very experienced high school and middle school teacher/tutor, as I have been tutoring or teaching in some capacity since August of 2010. I have always loved making personal connections with students and helping them make daunting studies (such as math or test preparation) more approachable. My favorite part of my job is empowering students to be more independent learners and helping them develop confidence in their abilities.

...I worked at my college as a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) associate, where I helped other college students with their Math classes ranging from algebra to graph theory.

When tutoring students, I draw on my own experience with learning the material to identify and address the obstacles they face. I believe that promoting a deeper level of understanding of the subject, as opposed to merely teaching to the test or problem set, will enable students...

...with the Breakthrough Greater Boston volunteer program. What excites me most about being a math tutor is the opportunity to help middle- and high-school students resolve their confusion surrounding logical abstractions and let them ultimately take ownership of those concepts. I specialize in those subjects where frustration can easily set in as certain notions that appear removed from reality are introduced but not necessarily framed properly: algebra, geometry, pre-calculus, and calculus. My goal for any...
