Vincent

AP Calculus BC Tutor • +26 Subjects

I am a rising Sophomore studying Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. I graduated at James E. Taylor High School as rank 7 out of over 600 students and swam for my high school swim team for 4 years. Currently, I'd say I'm most experienced in math and science and above average in English and would feel most comfortable teaching any of these subjects. I'm welcome to any other subjects and will try to provide the best tutoring services for you.

Theresa

Pre-Calculus Tutor • +46 Subjects

I am a sophomore at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, majoring in music and computational biology. I have always had a passion for teaching, and have experience tutoring students in a wide range of grade levels and subjects throughout my years in middle school, high school, and my freshman year at MIT through the Academic Teaching Initiative. I hope to help, and have had past success in helping, students succeed at whatever their goals may be; improved grades, improved standardized test scores, even college admissions. I hope to not only aid students in reaching checkpoints, but also to give them the personal interest in their material and the curiosity to help them move forward and continue to succeed in the future. The majority of my experience lies in tutoring middle school and high school math, middle school science, and biology, but I am also qualified to tutor high school science, a large number of AP exams, the PSAT, and the ACT. Given my current status as an undergraduate student, I am also uniquely able to offer mentoring and advice to any student interested in student life in college and college admissions. More than anything, I strive to be an approachable and reliable tutor whom my students feel that they can be comfortable with, because it is when a student is aware that their teacher is on their side that they feel comfortable thinking and asking questions in the ways that will help them grow. In my free time, I study music and vocal pedagogy, practice makeup artistry, and watch films.
