Award-Winning Engineering Tutors serving Newton, MA

Teaching is my passion. When I am not tutoring for Varsity Tutors, I work in medical research. I love the idea of helping patients feel better and especially kids. If I had to say something about my outlook, it is that I am thankful for what I do, privileged to be part of so many lives, and hopeful that my skills will make a difference.

...student has a unique way of learning. The trick is unlocking what that is in a safe and nurturing environment. We learn through doing, through mistakes, through trying things a few different ways. Conventional teaching methods don't always allow this level of individualization. We learn and remember the most when we're actively engaged, enjoying what we're learning, having fun, and making meaningful connections. Learning is not simply memorization, it is being firmly rooted in the...

I am also a avid Cross Fit person and a firm believer that fitness training improves not only physical but also mental...

...degree in education and becoming a teacher was my mid-life crisis. Before that, I worked in industry as a chemical engineer and then a project manager for many years after earning my Bachelor of Science at Cornell University. While I tutor a range of subjects, my favorites are chemistry and physics because I think that they are the most interesting! However, I also help students with math and algebra because a solid foundation in these...

Education: BA in Physics, MA in Education Growing up, I was always drawn to the world of science. The act of doing experiments and collecting data allowed me to investigate the world around me. My high school physics teacher eventually became a great source of enthusiasm by presenting the content in a way that felt relevant and alive. This lead me to study physics, and later teaching, to share that passion and enthusiasm with others.

...is Natasha, and I'm a graduate student at MIT. I started tutoring from my first year of undergrad because I had such wonderful experiences when I was in high school learning with friends and upperclassmen. I am personally a social learner- I learn best when I'm talking and wrestling with concepts out loud and in a group. When I can express myself coherently, I know I have mastered the material. When I started tutoring, I...

...discussed. I have found that engaging with the student and opening a line of communication helps me to determine what the focus of a session should be and how directly to approach learning specific topics. Some students require more direct visual step-by-step examples whereas others can benefit by completing a problem individually and then reviewing errors. Therefore, I try to keep in mind that figuring out a students learning process by asking questions about teaching...
