Award-Winning Calculus Tutors serving Somerville, MA

...materials science industry. I have been tutoring for the past 9 years. I tutor math and science at any grade level. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I love helping my students solve problems that they previously thought they couldn't solve. I believe that anyone can succeed if they put in enough time and effort. We all learn differently and I love adapting my tutoring strategies to meet each student's individual needs and...

...need to see a math concept presented in different ways and need to be worked with one-on-one. I enjoy creating different representations of a problem to relate it to the student and their interests. When I was student, math did not come easy to me, so I can relate to having to work hard to understand some of the concepts. Math is hard, it is good to seek extra help and clarification to construct a...

...is the teacher keeps going on ahead and you are still stuck on the previous problem. My goal is to find a way to guide students step by step through topics at their pace, and by using their own personal thought process and learning style, so that it becomes intuitive and fun to learn!

...science tutoring experience includes computer programming (C++/C/Java/Python) as well as data structures, algorithms, operating systems, and theory of computation. My tutoring approach is that I look for gaps in a student's understanding. Then we focus on plugging those gaps. I believe that even the most complex topics can be broken down into key concepts which can then be mastered. Mastering key concepts leads to student confidence and the ability to do well in a subject.

...opportunities to pursue advanced coursework and opportunities that weren't available to 99% of students in the area. As a result, I've joined Varsity Tutors as an effort to give back and try to help students get excited about learning various subjects, employing many of the methods that allowed me to succeed. While I tutor a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about standardized test prep, math (all levels), writing, and economics.

...a demo or a new way of re-framing the question. That is what I enjoy about teaching, tutoring. The "A Ha" moments. I enjoy the sciences because there is a method to the madness, and it makes sense. Sometimes the challenge is showing how it makes sense but when you get that, you get it! I have a Master's degree in Chemistry and next year I will pursue a Doctorate in Pharmacy.

Learning isn't always easy; in fact it's often uncomfortable. This means it's possible to find meaning even in classes we hate or the ones we think we are bad at. For this reason, I hope to work with learners who might be uncertain about their interests and futures.

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.

...with for years. Many of my students have not taken relevant quantitative courses for years and have forgotten much of their fundamental math skills, but after working with me for a short time, they are able to achieve great GRE quantitative scores. Students also enjoy my approach to the verbal section, where we work on decoding the questions and narrowing answer choices based on the type of question. I focus on a strong understanding of...

...to reach it, they must embrace and persevere through adversity. Failure, however, is never a setback; it is a step closer to success. When working with students, I refrain from providing direct answers to homework or test questions, for building a foundation for sustainable learning is more important than memorizing easy answers. Above all else, I focus on forming a personal relationship with each student to create an open and engaging learning environment. Everyone learns...
