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

...6th grade math and working with small groups of 5th grade English language learners on reading and phonics skills. This year I am working as a Spanish teacher and math and English tutor at Match Charter Public High School. I am excited to tutor a wide range of subjects, including SAT/ACT test prep, Writing/Reading, ESL, math (through Algebra I), and Spanish. When tutoring, I like to push my students to solve problems on their own...

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.

...tutoring experience and experience tutoring elementary students all the way up to college students. Currently I am a sophomore at Cornell University studying neuroscience as my major and math as my minor. Even at college I have continued tutoring. I am on the E-board for our tutoring club. I also lead a study section for college students currently taking Comparative Physiology. For Varsity Tutors I tutor in the following subjects: biology, psychology, algebra, geometry, calculus,...

...in a tangible, easy-to-understand manner. That is a skill I possess in spades. I have the drive necessary in order to make sure that each student I work with gains a mastery over their subjects, and always try to use real-world examples in order to ensure that my students are able to understand even more complex concepts. I am both patient and eager to help each of my students, and will always go the extra...

...increasingly more confident in their academics. As a patient, personable, and enthusiastic tutor, my philosophy on teaching has always been that fun is the best motivator. Learning should be an enjoyable and enriching experience. I also believe that answers should not be readily given. To truly grasp a subject material, students need to engage their critical thinking and problem solving skills throughout the learning process. No one ever said that learning and studying would be...

...am comfortable, however, with upper level math classes (such as calculus), and science courses (biology, chemistry, and physics). I am in the process of applying to medical school as well. I have been fortunate to have already been accepted into a couple of schools. I would love to help you prepare for the MCATs and get a head start on your medical school application. I think this one-on-one tutoring model can be a powerful study...

...an Associates Degree from Bard High School Early College, and I am currently working towards a Bachelor of Sciences degree in Education Studies and Mathematics at Skidmore College. I have previously worked with students aged 6 to 14 specializing in math. I love finding strategies to make math more accessible: particularly through use of modules, experiments, and applications. I spend my free time hiking, sewing, knitting, cooking, and building Lego castles with my three younger...

...secondary school children. While I am comfortable and happy tutoring many subjects, I have the most fun with English and History/Social Studies, as these were my favorite subjects in school (though I must 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. I believe that learning shouldn't just be about...

...pursue teaching certification for high school math. I am patient, flexible, and enjoy discovering which approaches work most effectively for each individual I work with. Every student is different, and as a result, every student learns differently as well. I have thoroughly enjoyed each of my previous experiences working with high school students, particularly in an academic setting. Teaching and tutoring math allows me to share my interests with students while quelling their anxieties and building...

...the long standing passion with you. Currently, I hold a bachelor's degree in Spanish language and literature as well as a Master's degree in elementary education with ambitions to obtain an Ed.D in second language acquisition. I have a variety of experience working with elementary and preschool aged children grades preschool-grade 4. My specific experience lies in the areas of elementary reading, phonics, comprehension skills, and Mathematics. The reason that I have grown to love...

...as a sailing instructor for several years at a junior sailing club where I taught introductory racing, basic navigation, and basic sailing to kids ages 8-14. I strongly believe that all students have the ability to succeed in school with hard work and dedication. Much of that capacity for success comes from students believing in themselves, and I hope to encourage students to be confident in their ability to succeed in the classroom and in...

...incredibly important and that any subject can be made applicable to any interest. A fair combination of hard work and fun is my standard for life and for teaching. I like to help students use their strengths to help balance and improve weaknesses. As a previously anxious test-taker myself, I know firsthand how challenging standardized testing can be, but I can share valuable strategies to help a student reach his or her full potential. In...

...matter their situation, have the potential to succeed academically, and I work hard to instill this belief in my pupils. Though I tutor a wide range of subjects, I have a special passion for the social sciences, particularly History, and I enjoy tutoring a variety of students, from those who do not fit the academic mold (especially ADD students) to those looking to boost their academic standing with a strong performance in advanced AP level...

...and GED Math. I continued as an ESL instructor for three additional years. I have worked with basic phonics and reading through TOEFL prep and editing college level essays. I love languages, so my favorite subjects to tutor are English and Spanish. However, I tutor a wide range of subjects including math and standardized test prep including the LSAT. I am a proponent of trying to find a learning style that works for the student...

...pre-calculus and I’ve recognized that the key to helping students learn is patience and motivation. Every student has a capacity for success and I’m looking forward to working with you to maximize your potential. Whether you are a student who has struggled with math since the beginning or if you are a top student in your class, I believe there is always room for growth and you get there by being focused and having direction....

...three days each month. I have worked with him weekly since he was in the third grade, and he is now a fourth grade student. During my student teaching I led full class and small group lessons. I planned and taught a week long Lucy Calkins literacy unit and worked with a guided reading group. I proctored many assessments, including the Fountas and Pinnell benchmark assessment system, MCAS and ANet. I executed a week-long fifth...

I am also available to help with high school and college level writing, and college admissions essays. My philosophy as a tutor is that students know more than they think they do. I...

...forward to helping students with test prep and gaining a deeper understanding of their subject matter. As an American History major I'm especially interested in history, government, literature and the arts. Reading and grammar are my specialities! I've worked as a blog editor and communications professional, and so hope to help students improve their essay writing and sentence structure. I have worked with students of all ages and levels, including special needs students with ADHD...

...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 comprehension to be extremely rewarding for both me and the student. I spend most of my free time with friends...

...with students in any subject they need help with. My favorite subjects to tutor are Spanish, since is my native language, and Math, because I love numbers. My philosophy of teaching can be summed up in two words: have fun. Traditionally, school classes stress students with lots of threats about grades and failure. I believe that we learn best when we are relaxed, enjoying ourselves and the process of learning. When I'm not at work,...
