Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Massachusetts

...Most Math and Science classes are normally taught by teaching professionals who are well qualified to lecture in their areas of expertise. However, if the material is not explained in a way that is understandable to the student, then it may be necessary to recruit the help of a tutor. I like to use different examples and analogies to help explain difficult concepts, I have successfully tutored students for more than 5 years. I'm quite...

Hello! My name is Ben and for the past year and a half I have been tutoring math at all different grade levels. My main goal as a tutor is being approachable and creating a learning environment in which students feel comfortable to develop their skills. My degree in education as well as my liberal arts background give me the tools to approach tutoring from many different angles. I look forward to being your tutor!

...the question came from the frustration caused by trying to comprehend the material. What I now have to say is that solving challenging math problems results in more than an "irrelevant" solution. In the process of finding the solution to an equation, you develop problem-solving skills, endurance and confidence; all important qualities for a successful life. Do the work to become a better person, that is what math is useful for. Really, that is what...

As a master's student and former medical student, I know how challenging academics can be. I also know how having a helping hand, a guidance through the confusion, can help one gain confidence in themselves to excel.

...what I learn. Learning is a wonderful thing, and it should not be difficult. I believe it is my job to explain this to someone who is struggling with learning something new, because all complex things in the universe is built up on simple concepts/structures. The only best way to learn is by both teaching and learning. One of the great things the Islamic prophet Muhammad used to say, "The best among you are the...

I am both patient and eager...

...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, I enjoy going out to the movies, listening to music,...
