Award-Winning Economics Tutors in Somerville, MA

...worked as a Teaching Assistant, Research Assistant, and as an Actuary, and have a particular passion for teaching Mathematics. When tutoring I try to include visualizations and real world examples whenever I can so that it does not feel like a fruitless exercise. I help students reach their goals with a two-pronged approach: reinforcing and building upon strengths while targeting weaknesses. In my free time I exercise, play the piano and volunteer with the Jewish...

...in each student I have tutored thus far, and nothing makes me feel better than when I see that moment the student becomes proud of him or herself for accomplishing what we set out to do. I am very personable and I have worked with various types of students in terms of learning ability, personality, and age. I am also very reliable and loyal so you can always count on me. My hobbies include, reading,...

...teaching all levels of economics. I've worked teaching as debate coach at the Boston Latin School and as an instructor at the Harvard Summer Debate Camp Workshop, and have worked with high school students across the country, teaching them about current politics, economics, philosophy, and international relations. I think my most effective tutoring skill is that I'm able to take large and complex ideas and explain them in a clear and effective way that anyone...

...scary, but turns into a means of truly learning this material and providing a strong foundation for the future. I also have extensive experience in the concepts and mathematics behind many economic topics. I have tutored in all of the premedical science subjects and have provided group review sessions as well as individualized help. I love helping students finally make connections with the material and become excited about learning again. Regardless of your starting level,...

...assistance whatever subject they have me working on for that day. Furthermore, there have been cases where I was in charge for classes where the teacher was absent for an extended period of time. Along with substitute teaching, I had the opportunity to work with young people through Temple University's Information, Technology, and Society Research Group's (ITSRG) BITS program. BITS (Building Information and Technology Skills) enabled me to teach young students from Philadelphia about urban...

...SAT prep has taught me that students learn best and have the most fun when they aren't afraid to make mistakes. Because of that, I work hard to build a relationship with my students based on the ideas that learning should be fun, that it's ok not to know the answer, and to never to afraid to ask questions. I think because of this, students feel comfortable and confident when learning new material.... The best way to learn is to not be afraid to make mistakes!

...my approach to learning Spanish after struggling for years in formal classes. After re-engineering my study strategy to complement my strengths and weaknesses, I was able to teach myself to be a fluent Spanish speaker in less than a year. With the lessons learned from this experience in mind, I seek to teach my students learning skills that help them get the grade they want in the short-term, but also prepare them to conquer future...

...their results, whether that be in a particular subject or on a standardized test. I remember how hard I studied in some subjects at a pre-collegiate level, and over preparing for the SATs, so I feel well-prepared to add value there. I tutored throughout most of my time in college as well. My strengths are Math and Science, however I may be able to tutor other subjects as well depending on the subject.... My teaching philosophy is to first try to identify areas to work on (i.e. weaknesses or areas of difficulty that can be improved). Then explain the subject matter at hand. Then, once explained, practice, practice, practice until, frankly, the topic is committed to memory.

...experience with all age groups. Being a former IB student I am familiar with the curriculum and syllabi, especially for Higher Level History. I enjoy teaching and seeing students move from uncertainty to academic success! I believe in an understanding in the subject, not just mere memorization. I consider European history, World history, Geography, and U.S. history to be my favorite subjects. When I am not tutoring or teaching, I enjoy sewing, designing, and being...

...applications, standardized tests, writing and speaking skills, or even just your high school/college/legal course work. I have seven years of teaching experience, ranging from middle school students to college seniors. Before law school, I received a double major in Economics and Political Theory from the University of Puget Sound. During college, I tutored high school students for four years. After college, I worked for three years as a college instructor and debate coach at two...
