Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Boston, MA

...meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening...

I hope tutoring will give me the chance to help others succeed and really make a difference in...

While tutoring a janitorial staff member in preparation for the mathematics portion of her GED high school equivalency exam, I learned how to quickly identify the highest yield topics for a standardized exam and focus our...

I have been a business professor and a business tutor for over 10 years. My aim is to discern the individual learning styles of my students and to work with each of them in a manner that addresses his/her individual style. My greatest joy in tutoring is seeing the sparkle in a student's eyes when he/she understands a concept and is able to explain and it back to me.

...graduating from Merrimack College in North Andover, MA in 2007. My teaching style is student-centered meaning I want to focus on the interests of the student and how that might apply to the concepts we would review.

By being prepared in this particular way we can build on the students classroom organizational skills in addition to helping...

...all learning styles and making material relevant to the student. Helping students overcome the anxieties that so often accompany learning Math at the earliest and most crucial stages means helping students think about the material in a way that is meaningful to them and teaching them to relate Math to their own lives and interests in a way that fosters a passion that lasts far beyond the day of the big test and hopefully for...

...admit, math practice for standardized tests is my guilty pleasure!). I enjoy seeing kids learn and helping them to think beyond the problem at hand to consider applications of the materials they are learning.

As a tutor, I am calm, patient, and understanding, but not...
