Award-Winning Calculus Tutors serving Somerville, MA

...way. This skill is important for life in our technological society. The best way to teach goes beyond "picking the right formula to use." Mastery of this type of subject matter comes from being able to ask "what is it I'm trying to accomplish by asking this question? What is the item - that can be quantified - that I need to extract from the problem material at hand?" Then the formula becomes a tool...

...students in a variety of STEM subjects, but I'm especially passionate about math and physics. I believe learning should be an enjoyable and empowering experience. I always aim to create a comfortable and encouraging space where students feel confident asking questions, making mistakes, and growing at their own pace. Outside of academics, I'm a trained Bharatanatyam dancer and a nature enthusiast. I enjoy exploring creativity and curiosity in all areas of life, and I bring...

...Computer Science and Biology, and a first year Bioinformatics PhD student at Harvard. As a student of 18 years myself, I am passionate about structuring education in a way that enables students to not only learn new material but also engage with each subject in a way that will empower them to use their knowledge to improve the world around them. I am humbled and eager to work with students through Varsity Tutors!

I am a data analyst and Finance graduate student with a passion for mathematics and Economics. I love helping others learn and have tutored for years professionally. I am also a technical writer for my company and can spot a typo or grammatical error from a mile away! I look forward to helping students in their many academic endeavors.

I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania majoring in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE). I hail from Boston but grew up in Bolivia. Intellectually, I believe knowledge is not only fluid but requires practice. This is to say that anyone can reach their academic and intellectual goals with the right balance of theory and practice. I firmly believe that with the right dialogue and rapport, any student can thrive in developing their academic and intellectual...

...I just started volunteering as an extracurricular teacher for Citizen Schools. I became a tutor for Varsity because I love being able to guide students towards success. Education is the cornerstone of our nation and our future, and if students are struggling, they absolutely deserve the help that a tutor can give them. I do not believe in teaching directly towards standardized tests; rather, I believe in giving students abilities that they can use not...

I'm a recent MIT graduate in mechanical and electrical engineering. Currently, I am working to start a fitness technology company. I also love music and spend just about all my free time playing guitar or piano.

...programs who helped me overcome these obstacles and I wish to do the same for other students. My philosophy for tutoring students is to try my best and tailor my teaching style to what works for the student, and this I achieve by getting to know the student and learning what their interests are so that I can apply those same soft skills to a subject they might find challenging. Personally, my favorite subjects are...

...understanding of curriculum, and I picked up valuable experience working with students of many different capabilities and learning styles. I also spent a summer teaching young children as a bilingual literacy tutor at a nonprofit organization that serves immigrant families. My best attribute as a tutor is my patience. I never make assumptions about a student's current comprehension or fault them for a gap in understanding. Through guided, methodical problem solving and socratic questioning, I...

...assistant in the language class, I learned to develop the most effective way to teach my native language to a student who is new to my language. I believe that education is the key to success, but a well-developed, trusting relationship between a tutor and a student can transform lives. I had helped a struggling high school student be college ready and pursued his parents, whose primary concern is academic, to allow him to continue...

...experiences at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, I employ a scaffold-ed approach tailored to each student's background and comfort level. I believe in starting with foundational concepts to build confidence before gradually introducing more challenging material. Inspired by my own transformative experiences with passionate educators, I aim to foster an engaging and supportive environment where students can discover the joy of learning. Witnessing that moment of clarity in a student's eyes is what drives me.

I strongly believe with practice and confidence, a student can master anything they want. As a tutor, I have a passion for helping students overcome initial mental hurdles and progress. This requires having some fun with the material as a motive for practice, and with practice comes confidence. At Carleton College, where I received a B.A in Mathematics, I tutored students in Math, led introductory Spanish classes as a TA, and taught Rock Climbing classes...

...not everybody learns in the same manner. I excel at auditory learning while many others prefer visual information. I will work with each student in a way that I believe they will be most receptive to. I will help them understand how a word problem relates to a picture or an equation, which is the most vital skill to have in mathematics. Most importantly, I will help the student have fun. I remember a lot...

Hi! I am currently a junior at Boston University majoring in linguistics and computer science. I have experience tutoring students for almost 4 years, mainly in chemistry, French, math, and Java.

I truly love helping people, and I do so whenever I can. I am a very outgoing and friendly person, which translates well to working with students. I do my best to understand where the student is coming from and work from there. Currently, I am a student at Northeastern University, but I also work with people with disabilities in a marketing setting. I can tutor Math, Science and English, and I would love to...

I find it very important to engage with my students. I may ask them more questions than they ask me. I do this in order to determine where any fundamental misunderstandings exist. I find that in most instances, confused students are unclear on one or two simple, yet important ideas. Clearing these up, and deliberately following their implications, can make students have a much better level of understanding while also feeling confident in their knowledge....

...a Teaching Assistant for fellow Anthropology majors. For the past three years, I was a Kindergarten teacher at an international, bilingual school in Dakar, Senegal and a private SAT/ESL/TOEFL and College Prep tutor for middle school and high school students of varying nationalities. I am currently in my first year in Boston Universitys Pardee School Master of Arts in International Affairs program where I will also receive a certificate in African Studies. Outside of academia,...

...Many children needed one-to-one tutoring, which I could not provide as a teacher. I enjoy teaching in a classroom, but I found that my strengths lie in one-to-one interaction. It is easy for students to fall behind, especially with the increasing classroom size. A lot of learning happens outside of school, and without guidance, this learning is often not effective. My goal is to bridge this gap, so no child is left behind because I...

...research is focused on helping stroke survivors and arm amputees get better physical therapy results. I have 2 B.S. degrees and an M.S. For fun I do martial arts, read, and play pub trivia and board games with friends. I am an avid stamp collector as well. I also (sort of) like to travel. Hate the travel part, but enjoy myself once I get there :). Outside of the US, I have been to Portugal,...
