Award-Winning Engineering Tutors serving Somerville, MA

...valuable life lessons. Retired from the U.S. Embassy in Iran, my grandparents had witnessed a swift shift in political climate during the Iranian Revolution and the country's upheaval of many educational freedoms. From this, bloomed a lesson that instilled my intense passion for learning. And with this passion, I discovered an interest in dentistry after watching my sister's life-changing transformation from orthodontic treatment. As a high achieving student, I was easily accepted into dental school,...

I am a recent graduate from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in cognitive neuroscience. I have been accepted to medical school and will be starting next fall. In other words, I've had my share of standardized testing. I hope to make life easier for students struggling to overcome these hurdles, and maybe spark some enjoyment of learning along the way!

...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 is...

My name is Anya, and I'm really looking forward to working with you. I'm eager to help you succeed in whatever you're looking to learn. I am a firm believer in discussion and activity-based learning, and have experience working with students of all ages. Let me know if you have any questions, and I'm excited to start working with you!

...I believe that my natural aptitude for it comes from a deep and genuine interest in the subject. I recognize the grave importance of instilling scientific knowledge in our future generations, so it is my goal to help students overcome any struggles or intimidation of the subject. I aim to do this by encouraging the same interest and curiosity in the subject that has lead me to pursue a career in biology. I believe that...

...lifelong love. I believe strongly in the ability of education to improve one's quality of life; I still enjoy learning new topics every day. I want students to be able to use their knowledge to solve problems; pure memorization simply to pass a test is not my idea of a good education. In my spare time, I enjoy reading the classics I missed when I was younger, playing chess and playing the piano.

...free time, I rock climb, dance, and build crazy robotics projects. I love helping students of all ages build understanding and excitement for various subjects. I believe that, with patience and the right set of tools, you can grow to enjoy any subject. As someone who used to be terrible at math and was taught to love it, I can attest to the fact that the right teacher can make a world of difference. I...

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.

...programming at an early age. In 2016, I gathered a team of like-minded individuals and partnered with Codechef on a "Programming for School Students" initiative. Through this campaign, I was able to impart programming knowledge to young students across more than 30 schools, enriching their skills through multiple sessions and organizing programming contests on weekends. It was incredibly rewarding to see young minds develop their coding abilities and grow confident in problem-solving. Outside of tutoring,...

I have always had a knack for seeing multiple solutions to a given problem (even receiving a little gag award for our fifth grade graduation, titled: "I have a better way to do that" award). In addition to the natural joy I get from tutoring, I also enjoy solving the puzzle of determining which solution method matches best with how each student learns and thinks.

...the best learning solutions for the student. My past teaching and tutoring experience has prepared me to work with varying age groups and cultural/academic backgrounds. While in high school, I volunteered to be a companion for young children with Cerebral Palsy. During my years at Rhodes College, I tutored adults in ESL and aided them in their job search and was a Teaching Assistant for fellow Anthropology majors. For the past three years, I was...

...or other related topics. My philosophy of teaching is that a student should never be punished or shamed for asking a question, and moreover that my time is best spent on students who are struggling with the topic at hand - students who already "get it" don't really need my help, after all. In my spare time, I have generic nerd hobbies, i.e. videogames, reading, etc. Besides that, I attend a rock climbing gym (which...

I got my degree in Physics with a minor in Political Science from Wheaton College in MA. I tutor Physics, Calculus, some Computer Science, Latin, and Writing. I particularly enjoy tutoring Writing because I spend most of my time these days writing anyways. I would describe my tutoring style as very dynamic and example-driven. I'm pretty good at coming up with exercises and methods on the fly, which has served me well so far.

...been working with students at all levels on several topics for over a decade. I have a B.S. in physics, and a master's in Nuclear Science and Engineering from WPI. I completed my second master's in particle astrophysics at the university of Strasbourg in France. I love getting students excited about learning and helping them through difficult topics. One of my favorite challenges is working with students to figure out their specific learning styles to...

...and Bioengineering. At Villanova, I was the president of the Club Running team, Commissioner of Intramural Sports, and heavily involved in service. Outside of the classroom, I've held internships and co-ops with ChemSolv, Inc., GlaxoSmithKline, and Johnson & Johnson, as well as presented research at the American Chemical Society National Expo. Beginning in the fall of 2015 I will pursue a PhD in Chemical Engineering at MIT. My hobbies include every and all sports, both...

Hello there! I am a current (though almost graduated) student in Chemical Engineering at Georgia Tech. I absolutely love teaching and tutoring, and I have 3 years experience tutoring and just over a year's experience in being a teacher's assistant. I am passionate about math and science, and I love helping people understand new material. Learning is something I have always loved, and I want to share that passion with others.

...high school students in core subjects like algebra, calculus, and mechanics. My academic and teaching experience spans a wide range of topics, including calculus, differential equations, classical physics, dynamics, thermodynamics, structural analysis, and MATLAB-based modeling. I specialize in helping students break through difficult conceptswhether it's mastering vector calculus, understanding Newton's laws in real-world systems, or solving engineering design problems step-by-step. I believe in building deep conceptual understanding alongside practical problem-solving skills, tailoring each session to...

Hi there! My name is Jake, I'm a chemical engineer by trade. I recently graduated with my Master's degree from Northeastern University in Boston and just moved to the area. I'm most interested in tutoring math (anything from algebra to differential equations), science, and SAT prep.

I am a highly successful physics and chemistry teacher in Massachusetts Public Schools for over 25 years. I graduated with high honors from Princeton University in Chemical Engineering. My math skills are practical and include graduate courses in differential equations and computer modeling.

...topic dealt with Cell Therapy and Biomolecular applications of stem cells. I do have a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering as well. I believe the point of teaching or tutoring is not to fill the student's mind with a bunch of knowledge but to get him or her excited about learning and about the opportunities that are before them when they have learned something new. Apart from academics, I do enjoy hiking, traveling, working out,...
