Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors in Massachusetts

...been funded by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, US Department of Agriculture, and US Air Force. My approach to tutoring math and physics is to incorporate real life use cases. When students see the practical application of a subject, they are more likely to enjoy and understand it. I will incorporate aspects of renewable energy, wind power in particular, into my tutoring. Renewable energy is one of the fastest growing industries in the US and...

...children and young adults with a host of challenges to their individual learning. I have witnessed the not-yet-verbal approach of toddlers, the nonverbal gap with which AS students face, the frustrations of students working past dyslexia, and the anger of children from broken homes. I have learned that what most students want and need is not primarily to be told what to do and how to solve their problems, but first to be listened to....

...and in whatever else they may need the knowledge for. Over the course of high school and my freshman year at college, I had the privilege to be able to tutor students and friends in subjects mainly including, but not limited to, Chemistry, Biology, Calculus, and Physics (Calculus-based and Algebra based). Being able to help a student toward their goal by aiding in their understanding of how to integrate basic polynomials, or balance a chemical...

...years. Moreover, at Williams College I was a chemistry tutor for the Math/Science Resource Center for 2 years, in addition to being a peer tutor for an environmental studies class: Humans and the Biosphere. During my prior teaching experience, I discovered my favored teaching method: getting to know my students in a one-on-one environment, and learning about their interests. I then try to relate my teaching to my student's interests. If I can find an...

...Algebra/Pre-calculus for the past three years. All of the students I have tutored have seen significant improvement in their grades and subject understanding as a result of our lessons. I believe that science is interesting and fun to learn. Sometimes, it is difficult for students to understand the relevance and importance of science in their lives and struggle with the material. As your tutor, I will help you to understand the intricacies of the subject...

...been tutoring since I was 16, starting with my younger brother then escalating up to middle and high school now college students! Since I came to the US in early 2007, I was placed in ELL and tutoring for majority of my young adult life. That has allowed me to navigate through different teaching styles, and be aware of students learning styles as I had to find my own. The journey was anything but easy,...

...a community hospital. I aim to create a supportive and comfortable learning environment for my students, and I tailor lessons to meet individual learning needs.

I am a Junior at Tufts University studying Biology and Psychology on the pre-medical track with intent of becoming a physician in Emergency Medicine. I have been tutoring students in high school and college level sciences for the past 6 years. I have maintained a 3.99 GPA here at Tufts and am looking forward to help others achieve their academic goals.

...students and sharing what I've learned. I started off tutoring a couple of neighbors in high school. Now I work with classes of up to eight. I prefer the smaller setting so that it doesn't feel like I'm assuming the role of a teacher or a professor. My areas of specialization are broad. I enjoy the sciences, maths, English language, and dabble in history. When I'm not tutoring, you can probably find me studying, traveling,...

Teaching is a special calling. As educators, we can, and should, apply all of our knowledge and skills to positively affect students' lives for the rest of their lives. A good teacher, at every turn, continually endeavors to augment his/her pedagogy; yielding students knowledge, well-roundedness, a positive personal image, happiness, quality of life, and good citizenship. A good teacher's day never ends. Once a teacher, always a teacher.

...Texas A&M University. I received my Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience, Master's degree in Psychology, and PhD in Experimental Psychology all from the University of Vermont. For the past four years, I have tutored high school students in standardized test prep (including PSAT, SAT, and ACT), Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry and Trigonometry. One of the things I love most about tutoring is pinpointing a students' learning style and working hard to find preparatory materials and...

...to create an inclusive and supportive environment for those I teach. Drawing from my 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...

...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 friends, experimenting...

...effort to learn but are quite satisfying to understand. I have always found helping people bridge the gap from the unknown to practical intuition to be worthwhile. My teaching philosophy is that of a peer, rather than an instructor. I have found that hearing an explanation from a fellow student can help to bridge the gap of confusion in more complicated subjects. A recent student can recall what was difficult about the class and explain...
