Award-Winning Finite Mathematics Tutors for Students in Newton, MA

...Wellesley College (since Fall 2013), with a prior two-year Visiting Assistant Professorship at the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. I received my PhD from the Courant Institute at NYU in 2011 and my BA from Yale in 2005. During my seven years of college instructorship (particularly in single and multivariable calculus) and three years of tutoring experience (SAT and GRE subject tests, as well as high school algebra and geometry), I...

...In my approach to tutoring, I try to constantly respond to feedback from my students. If the way I am explaining something isn't clicking, I try to come at it from a different angle. I believe everyone can excel in mathematics, and through tutoring I hope to help as many students as I can reach their educational goals. Outside of academic interests, I love cooking, reading about politics, and watching horror movies!

...Differential equations,AP Calculus AB and BC,Discrete Math,Linear Algebra.I do everything I can to help my students understand the subject. I make my students understand the concept to the core. I use different techniques to teach math, which makes the subject much more interesting for students. I have also tutored SAT, PSAT,MCAS and SSAT test prep. I am looking forward to working with any student who would like to strengthen their skills or get enrichment.... My philosophy...

...communication skills and teaching style, and polished my own understanding of concepts in math and physics. Through this work, I have found the following approaches to work well, regardless of someone's background or interests. 1. Everyone is capable of learning math and physics beyond the level required in high school or college. Although sometimes these subjects may seem obscure, irrelevant, and unnecessarily complicated, they are notand I hope to use what Ive learned while explaining...

...students and different learning styles, and learned how to adapt to each one. Working with students exposed me to various styles - visual, audio, interactive and many more types of teaching. I find that every student has their own way of incorporating the material, and I want to effectively teach in a way that helps you learn in the method most conducive to your understanding. Currently, I enjoy working with physical and mathematically oriented subjects....

...attendance. I know how tough academic coemptions can be. I was the Valedictorian of a class of over 700 students, passed over 16 AP exams, got a perfect score on the SAT Math, obtained a full ride to UT, and I was accepted into several high-ranking and Ivy League Universities. To me, tutoring is a great way for me to mentor others and nurture the future generation of STEM students. I'm here on Varsity Tutors...

...graduate of the M.S. degree program in Mathematics at Tufts University where I focused on the three major cornerstones of Contemporary Mathematics: Analysis (Real & Complex), Abstract Algebra, and Geometry/Topology. I completed my undergraduate education at Saint Anselm College where I majored in Mathematics, with a secondary major in Classics. I graduated in the top 5% of my class from St. A's with an Honors B.A., Magna Cum Laude. I've tutored high school students from...

I got my undergraduate degree at the University of Colorado in Economics and a Minor in Political Science. Then I spent a year in China studying Mandarin and working with a faith-based organization. After returning to the USA, I worked a couple of years as a personal and business banker. Then I got a four year Master of Divinity at Denver Seminary. I am very passionate about helping others succeed!

I am a senior Chemistry major at Cornell University on the pre-med track and in the process of applying to medical school. I would love to share my knowledge in the sciences and standardized test strategies that I have acquired in my academic career.

...review and study groups throughout college. I am passionate about finding the right method to help the student master their subject matter. My goal, outside of just helping someone with their material, is to develop strong problem-solving skills and habits that can be applied to their future work. I think my approachable communication style as well my desire to see their understanding 'click' with a student make me a great tutor. Outside of my full-time...

...career choice for me; but an opportunity to fulfill my fundamentally inquisitive nature. Along this journey, I chose to focus my study on neuroscience and obtained a Ph.D. in this field. Now, I work in the biotechnology industry: writing patents for universities, emerging biotechnology companies, and inventors alike. This academic trajectory has enabled me to garner a fierce strength in writing/editing, biology, neuroscience, and critical thinking. I look forward to helping you develop the same!

...both Calculus I and Calculus II, but I know many types of Math from Algebra to Geometry to Calculus. I was also a volunteer tutor at a local charter school where I tutored middle school students in different levels of mathematics. For two years I worked at my college as a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) associate, where I helped other college students with their Math classes ranging from algebra to graph theory. I...

...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 ones who learn and teach what they learn."... My teaching philosophy is...

...algorithms and how to compute, and more of a study of elegance. In Calculus, we learn the sophistication of the exponential function and how its value at a point is also its slope, and how we can use this to our advantage in differential equations. My lifelong love of mathematics, as well as many students' dismal outlook on mathematics, in conjunction with the gracefulness of mathematics that I am so fortunate to have been taught,...

...a vast Mathematical background, I can describe difficult concepts in multiple ways, and find the best way to teach each individual. I am applying to graduate schools to get a Master's degree and eventually want to get my Ph.D in Mathematics. Outside of academia, I love to stay active. I am an avid skateboarder and make videos for Earthwing Skateboards. I am also contracted as a Bike Messenger for Postmates delivery service.

I am a Mechanical Engineering PhD student, with background in Engineering Design, Nano-materials and Nanotechnology and Energy. I good understanding of Sciences [ Maths, physics, and some chemistry]. I love to teach and I really want to help you understand that concept that seems difficult for you.

Recent Yale graduate with a simultaneous B.S./M.S. in Mathematics. I have been coaching and tutoring students for years. Throughout high school I volunteered as a Mathcounts coach at my local middle school. I also worked as a counselor at the Ross Mathematics Program. I love math and science and hope to inspire the same in my students regardless of their level.

Teaching is a special calling. As educators, we can, and should, apply all of our knowledge and skills to positively affect students' lives for the rest of their lives. A good teacher, at every turn, continually endeavors to augment his/her pedagogy; yielding students knowledge, well-roundedness, a positive personal image, happiness, quality of life, and good citizenship. A good teacher's day never ends. Once a teacher, always a teacher.

...enrolled at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, where I study Development Economics and International Monetary Policy. I have worked as a Teaching Assistant, Research Assistant, and as an Actuary, and have a particular passion for teaching Mathematics. When tutoring I try to include visualizations and real world examples whenever I can so that it does not feel like a fruitless exercise. I help students reach their goals with a two-pronged approach: reinforcing and...

...industry, I taught my co-workers Statistics, Experiment Design, and Technical Writing. More recently, I have been a professional independent tutor, helping students with test prep, Math, Statistics, Chemistry, and Physics. I help teens and adults overcome fears (especially fear of Math) so they can learn more effectively and solve problems confidently. I teach test prep, Math, Statistics, Chemistry, and Physics. I especially like teaching Math, because I find it so satisfying to help students overcome...
