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

...for my masters. After much thought, I deviated from a medical school track to pursue a career in the medical device industry. My love for math and science started around middle school, and I was strongly influenced by my teachers. Through tutoring, I hope to be a similar influence. I really enjoy working with students of all ages (elementary to grads!) In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, hiking, and volunteering at the Animal Rescue...

I am a licensed Math Teacher for grades 5-12 in Massachusetts, and have I have extensive experience working with students of all grades and academic levels. I graduated from Vanderbilt University with a B.S. in Mathematics and Secondary Education, and have worked as a private tutor, classroom teacher, and full-time tutor for all grades K-12.

...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 Vocational Service.

...in Chemical Engineering from the University of Massachusetts. During my studies, I spent a year tutoring student-athletes in Chemistry, Physics, Math and Engineering. Earlier in my schooling, I spent two years as a camp counselor and a year regularly babysitting, so mentoring has always been a part of my life. I also have experience as a part of the Best Buddies organization during high school, and so I have some experience with special needs students...

...an after school program at an elementary school. I also tutored at a high school for ESL and algebra. After my college years, I taught countless international students in ESL and college level math in both a classroom and a one-on-one lesson. To improve my teaching abilities in ESL and to help those who struggled with English as I once did, I also became CELTA certified. Through the course, I took the initiative to tutor...

...before moving to Boston for graduate school. I got my MPH at Tufts and began medical school at Tufts as well before deciding to take some time away from school to reevaluate my career goals and to enjoy myself a bit! I love spending time with my dogs, playing various sports, teaching, and learning new things for myself as well! I look forward to getting the chance to know you and feel free to reach...

...periods in departmental offices offering academic support on a drop-in basis. In college I also enjoyed tutoring my friends when they wanted some extra academic support. My passion is for mathematics and the sciences: as an engineer I have a deep appreciation for how theory in textbooks translates into real world applications. In my experience, the most important component of the tutor/student relationship is the tutor's ability to inspire and to broaden the student's imagination.

...to be THAT teacher. The funny thing about being THAT teacher, though, is that they are never just a teacher. Often, they take on whatever roles they need to in order to make a difference. So, although I have only been at this for half a decade, I have always attempted not just to be the best teacher but to be the best curriculum coordinator, data analyst, or counselor I can be. When my school...

...tutor your student to help students achieve their true mathematical potential. While children are inquisitive by nature, teachers must continuously work to foster their students’ curiosity and spirit of exploration. During my teaching practicum, I have tried to create a learning environment that not only stimulates students’ thinking but also allows for creativity. I try to engage my students’ interests in order for them to be actively involved in their learning. I hope to cultivate...

...go somewhere in California where I am originally from. I have been tutoring middle school and high school students in a variety of math topics for six years but my favorite subjects to tutor are Trigonometry and Geometry because I think there are many different ways to visualize these types of problems. Often times all it takes to understand a concept is an alternate way of thinking about it and I have found this eventual...

...types of kids through my experiences in both mainstream and special education classrooms, as well as on the sports field where I coach lacrosse.

I am very patient and tailor my lessons to whatever pace is appropriate for the individual I'm working with. I aim to keep my students relaxed yet focused,...

...tutor, I understand that not every student is the same thus I try to understand the strengths and weakness of a student before devising a method which I believe would be a great study pattern for them. I encourage interactive and collaborative learning as well as setting a goal for ones self without making it a set limit. Most of all, I believe learning should be fun and I always try to make sure it...

I got my undergraduate degree at Brown University, where I received a Bachelor of Arts in creative writing and psychology. While I'm passionate about a wide range of subjects, I particularly love tutoring writing and anything that requires analytical reasoning. In my free time, I box, lift weights and write comedy.

...Columbia, and also in high school, I worked with fellow students as a tutor for various subjects with a math and science background. Most recently I have helped students in the areas of Environmental Science, Algebra, and Chemistry.
