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

...with people diagnosed with mental illnesses. Throughout college and during my 4 years in social work, I tutored individuals of all ages and abilities. During that time, I learned that anyone is capable of learning any subject they want. In addition, with the assistance of the right teacher, they are able to find a way to relate to the material on a more personal level. I believe that my role as a tutor is to...

...have not taken relevant quantitative courses for years and have forgotten much of their fundamental math skills, but after working with me for a short time, they are able to achieve great GRE quantitative scores. Students also enjoy my approach to the verbal section, where we work on decoding the questions and narrowing answer choices based on the type of question. I focus on a strong understanding of the concepts being tested as well as...

...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. Mathematics, coding, physics, chemistry, and biology are my favorite topics to teach since there are numerous ways to arrive at an answer, and I love the creativity permitted in problem-solving.

...a fan of "numbers". I enjoy Math and helping others enjoy it too. I have experience tutoring at a Drop-In Math Center for undergraduate students. As for my teaching philosophy, I like to work with the student to help them through the material. Some think that math is scary and "not for them", but I try to help build their confidence and allow them to love and master the subject. As for myself, I do...

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.

I love to teach math, science and computer programming (specializing in C++). When I'm not teaching, I'm out kiteboarding.

...greatly on their attitude towards learning and their feelings toward their Teacher. I hope to inspire students with confidence and provide them with an interactive and accommodating learning environment. I have worked with students of all ages and have learned first hand that everyone learns differently. I guide students so that they can tackle concepts that they may have been struggling with in the past. I have a vast Mathematical background, I can describe difficult...

...in mathematics education at the University of Maine. While studying as a graduate student, I had the opportunity to manage an undergraduate tutoring center for mathematics and science students, and I also designed and facilitated training workshops for middle and high school math teachers who were preparing to enact the Common Core State Standards. I am passionate about mathematics and computer science, and I love helping students to see the excitement and power of these...

...not like a mere 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...

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!

It brings me great joy to help transform a student from struggling to confident in Mathematics and Science.

...be great in what matters most to us - physics, journalism, medicine etc. - and we all need to pass exams and do well in our other subjects. I find that communicating my approach, and ensuring that I know my students expectations takes my students a lot closer to achieving their goals. 3. While I am excited about topics in science (not just math and physics!), I also feel overwhelmed by the density or volume...

...are for your current class and academic career in general. I do not like to lecture at my students but rather engage with them in discussion and questioning to make sure that you fully comprehend the material to the point where you can go ahead and teach it to someone else if given the opportunity. What's the most important to me is to create a safe and productive environment that will help you achieve your...

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!

...of a range of mathematical material, I clearly explain abstract concepts in a simple and understandable way. I specialize in any level of mathematics from basic algebra to calculus as well as higher-level math, such as abstract algebra, and can facilitate positive outcomes for quantitative components of the math sections of standardized tests including ACT, SAT, SAT and GRE. Tutorial efforts are not limited to those needing remedial tutoring. Supportive efforts targeting those seeking to...

...physics as well as some modern physics, like Relativity), English Literature and comprehension, SAT prep, ACT prep. My favourite subjects to tutor are physics and chemistry because of my extensive lab experience over the last few years. I love experiments and creating my own projects and I hope I can pass this passion onto others. My tutoring style involes a lot of interaction with the student on zoom. I'm able to draw on the computer...

...physics. By invitation of the Colby math department, I repeatedly served as a teaching assistant or tutor for a wide variety of classes -- everything from Calculus with Precalculus to Linear Algebra and Mathematical Reasoning (proof construction). I also volunteered twice weekly in a 5th grade math classroom as an assistant teacher. In addition to math and statistics, I have taken a variety of computer science courses. I am most skilled in Python and R-Studio....

Learning is so important, and yet not always fun. Let me help you accomplish your goals and not get discourages. Success is within reach!

I have long enjoyed enjoyed working with others to help them achieve personal goals. Some of the most fulfilling tutoring I have done recently have been tutoring immigrants for the US Citizenship Test, helping formerly incarcerated individuals attain their GEDs, and tutoring children in Honduras on conversational English to obtain high-paying jobs in the tourism industry. I'm thrilled to work with anybody on any subjects of interest, reach out with any questions!

...to take my watch away because I would time her when she said, "We'll move on in a few minutes." As my mathematics education advanced through the years, math became less of a study of 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...
