From 7th grade to 9th grade, I have been working with elementary students on subjects such as Math, English, and Writing, including electives. In high school, I have tutored high school students in math subjects such as Algebra, Calculus, Physics, Latin, and Chinese. In...

I have tutored a range of subjects at the middle school and high school levels. I am currently a graduate student at MIT in a dual-Master's program (MBA + MS mechanical engineering). I worked in renewable energy and energy policy for several years after obtaining my bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from MIT. I enjoy rock climbing, running, and playing outside in all kinds of weather.

...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 siblings.

...tutoring Engineering Science and Physics to college students. Of the subjects that I currently tutor, I am most passionate about Math and Mechanical Engineering subjects. My approach to tutoring is to help students develop good practical problem-solving skills and tools that are applicable to a wide range of problems. I am an supporter of linking Mathematical and engineering concepts to real-world applications. In my free time, I like to bike, tinker and watch comedy movies.

...undergraduate I wanted to continue to help students, so I started a tutoring program for underclassmen who were struggling in their science courses. Outside of this, I volunteered my time to help students who were struggling in the upper level courses I was taking.

...from the University of California, Los Angeles, receiving my degree in Physiology. I moved to Boston to have an adventure before attending medical school for sports medicine. Science and sports medicine excite me because I play rugby and soccer; I research muscles because I can see them working as a player runs down the field. I have worked with students from elementary school age to college in a variety of subjects. I love the sciences,...

...the rich learning opportunities they will be offered in whatever context those opportunities appear. I employ a wide variety of educational tools in my lessons, starting with the materials provided by the student's current instructors and adding in additional tools as needed, including textbooks, workbooks, articles, multimedia presentations, videos, and hands-on models and puzzles to promote maximum comprehension and retention of concepts and skills. Every effort is made to use the types of materials that...
