...youth have taught privately for 13+ years. I have been an SAT/ACT Tutor for Study Point, a mathematics tutor for Tutors for All, and have tutored Latin to students at the Boston Latin School, Boston Latin Academy, and Boston University Academy. I believe adapting to the individual students' personalities and learning style. Presenting topics in a personal and engaging manner is of utmost importance in tutoring.

...experience as well as my current education in Occupational Therapy enable me to adapt my teaching style for each student. I try to make lessons as interactive and rewarding as possible. Students should feel comfortable during a tutoring session asking questions and confident after a tutoring session with the material we've covered.

...and microbiome-consious recipes on my foodie instagram, reading Stephen King novels, and (embarrassingly) updating and drawing in my planner. When I am not in the lab, I am often speaking at panels and forums on the importance of gender and racial equity, especially in higher education.

I believe that with the right teaching methods, anyone can excel in these subjects through hard work and perseverance. I hope to give my students the tools to confidently tackle any problem not...

...colleagues, clients, and subordinates throughout my life and it is the single most enjoyable part of my job. I strongly believe that, teaching a student the "why" of something is far more important than simple memorization; it is this understanding of the material that helps the student apply the theory to a completely different fact pattern. While I tutor students in a broad range of subjects, my passions are towards reading/writing and mathematics. In my...

...to tutoring (privately as well as with Match Corps), I have experience leading classrooms of elementary to high school aged students, in schools ranging from New Hampshire to Ghana.

Students enjoy my tutoring style and feel comfortable asking questions and pushing their own...

...analyzing. That is my first targeted observation before I can truly begin tutoring with any true impact. I have spent the last two years out of school managing an organic farm and directing product and systems design for a farm-tech startup out of Boston. I am now working on some personal projects that I dream of one day becoming a business. I have an undying passion for knowledge and education and would like to inspire...

...specifically geared to Engineering principles such as mechanics, physics, and mathematics. As an engineer, my favorite subjects to study are High School to College Mathematics as well as the Sciences (Physics, Chemisty, Biology) because it gives the mind a great workout! I am a generally upbeat and motivated individual which is essentially translated to my tutoring strategies; if you can somehow make the subject engaging, the more chances the student will want to learn the...

...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 their...

...a minor in Global Studies from the University of Vermont. I consider myself to be a problem solver, patient, and empathetic. I try to make learning fun for all students by pulling in students interests and incorporating appropriate educational games. Beyond education, I also enjoy traveling, hiking, camping, cooking, reading and playing soccer. I believe travel is one of the best ways to learn about yourself as a person because it makes you think about...

...can help create success in other areas. I try to use multiple approaches while teaching, and present ideas as visually and tangibly as possible. One of the dangers of learning math is that students memorize the method for solving a problem but do not realize the underlying concepts. I do my best to ensure that students recognize the broader concepts. Because math builds on itself, it is also very important to look at past topics...

...a first year law student at Northeastern University School of Law. While teaching I worked with special education students who experienced a number of different learning challenges. Although I taught 7th grade math, I most enjoy tutoring in reading and writing. I love helping students learn to express themselves more thoroughly through language.

As a tutor I focus on presenting material in a number of ways to accommodate all learning styles and making material relevant to the student.

...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 is.

I am a dedicated teacher and care about impacting my students' life. In my spare time, I enjoy outdoor activities including hiking, running, and...

...context instead of memorizing. I find applying this framework is useful for teaching and tutoring both Spanish and English. I gained fluency in Spanish during my semester studying at a university in Chile, and have taught Spanish to elementary students and I tutored college students. I have worked with both children and adults learning English too. In my free time I study American Sign Language, go running, swimming, and hiking, and take the occasional zumba...

...born here, my education from pre-school to first grade is from their homeland. Spanish was the first language I learned to read and write in. Since then have continued to use these skills in communicating with my family and friends. In high school, I took 3 years of Spanish at a native leave where we practiced our communication skills while learning about Hispanic history. If nothing else, I hope to evoke a thirst for knowledge...
