Award-Winning Calculus Tutors in Newton, MA

Adam ...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 the individual problems. Besides working with my siblings, I also have experience teaching swim lessons,...

Jonah ...design engineer in the solar industry. During my time at Tufts, I was involved in tutoring Engineering Science and Physics to college students. Of the subjects that I currently tutor, I am most passionate about Math and Mechanical Engineering subjects. My approach to tutoring is to help students develop good practical problem-solving skills and tools that are applicable to a wide range of problems. I am an supporter of linking Mathematical and engineering concepts to...

Michael ...career in high school as a peer tutor, where I spent my free study periods in 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...

Carolyn ...to make learning fun! During my time as a tutor, I have worked with students who struggle with fundamental concepts that make more advanced material unnecessarily difficult. I have also worked with students who want to get ahead in their classes. Currently, I am working toward a Master's degree in Biomedical Science at Tufts University School of Medicine. I am passionate about about teaching and I would love to work with you!

Brian I am a graduate of Boston University where I earned both my M.S. and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering. Prior to that, I attended Tufts University where I earned my B.S., also in Biomedical Engineering. During my tenure at Boston...

John ...of Environmental Science, Algebra, and Chemistry. I have always enjoyed helping young students master the fundamental concepts of arithmetic through pre-calculus by emphasizing real-world applications behind the numbers and equations. I focus on helping students develop problem solving skills that can not only be applied to a specific test or homework assignment, but also to any future assignments that build on that material. I currently work as an Ocean Engineer in the New York area,...

Ken ...your ability to complete them successfully for homework and tests. I am certified to teach physics at the high school level. I taught high school physics for 17 years before going on to further graduate study. I also have experience teaching mathematics at the community college level. I can help you with chemistry, physics, statistics and/or calculus for high school, Advanced Placement or introductory college level. I can also help with standardized testing such as...

Duncan ...during my junior year of high school. I tutored for two years in High School, then worked all four years of college as a tutor, study group leader and teaching assistant. My professional life was also in the field of education until I left to start my Masters in the fall of 2012. When a student realizes that they truly understand a concept (not just how to do it, but WHY it's done that way)...

Irene I am from Portland, Oregon! I am a mechanical engineering graduate from Carnegie Mellon University. I spent my summer after graduation traveling all over the world. I love to draw, paint and get hands on with DIY projects, and love to learn foreign languages and cultures as well. I am an avid swimmer and runner and love the outdoors! ... I have taught swim lessons for 4 years and tutored elementary school students all the way up to college students, in subjects ranging from history to math to English. I believe in tailoring lessons to a student's needs and relating problems to real-world situations to give subjects relevance.

Matthew ...and I absolutely love teaching these subjects. I really enjoy helping students overcome the gaps in understanding tough concepts, watching them understand the material, succeed on exams and seeing how proud and accomplished they are. I started tutoring when I was 17 years old doing Basic Math and as I have gone through my schooling I have begun to expand my teaching to all Mathematics classes and Physics classes when needed. I have tutored privately...
