Award-Winning Calculus Tutors serving Somerville, MA

At the core, I love learning and find it fun. In teaching, I try to convey that sense of fun to my students. I use a variety of techniques depending on my student's learning style, but I always focus on the fun of learning new things.... In a first session with a student, I would introduce the basic concepts and core questions of the subject, and determine my student's learning style in order to plan future...

...teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along...

I recently graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute with a B.S. in Physics, and I will be attending Northeastern University to continue my education with a Ph.D. in Physics. I love helping students succeed, and I bring a strong Math and Science background to help students struggling with these difficult subjects. I believe that the secret to succeeding in these subjects is not in memorizing solutions and equations, but by developing problem solving skills so students...

...chemistry, biology, most math subjects, and SAT Reading and Math, but am especially confident with tutoring Mandarin Chinese, as a native Chinese speaker with experience teaching a beginning Chinese course in the middle school support program at the Wheeler School in Providence, RI. If you're interested in improving your Chinese (or just looking to start a new language!), please reach out to me! I will be working as a teaching assistant for a biology course...

I am a Biophysics and Chemistry double major at Case Western Reserve University with a minor in Computer Science, and I have been a tutor for over 4 year.

Hi! I am an engineering student at Northeastern University who loves helping people out with all subjects. Standardized tests are just a game against the clock that we can improve in so many ways. ... I have two philosophies. 1. Practice makes perfect. 2. There's an angle to everything. I think there is always more than one way to approach a problem, and typically the test tries to make you think you need to take the...

I am a Pre-Med Student. I tutor most often in reading and math, as well as in the MCAT subjects. I focus my tutoring around finding each students desired method of learning/problem solving and trying to apply that to the problems at hand. I have been tutoring or TAing since high school and hope to continue reducing stress and finding the best ways to learn for students of all ages. ABOUT ME: I graduated...

...in and out of the pool, I believe that a good lesson is one where the student is doing the thinking. I teach interactively, asking questions, listening to students. explanations, and probing students to produce the correct answer for themselves. I want to model thinking and questioning strategies that will allow a student to be successful without a tutor; I endeavor always to work myself out of a job. When I'm not tutoring or teaching...

...physics can certainly be abstract, the practical aspects of such topics can make learning both interesting and fulfilling. I have had a pretty extensive background in teaching/coaching. I have spent 1 year tutoring and teaching, 3 years as both a soccer and orienteering coach, and 1 semester as a Lab Assistant at MIT. I think the most important aspect of learning is practice and struggle so I generally teach content in a more hands on...

...for four years, in addition to casual tutoring in history, writing, and languages. More important than helping my students reach the right answers is helping them ask the questions that will lead them to answers. I learn best when I find an aspect of the subject I'm studying that I'm passionate about, so I try to help my students find curiosity for the given subject. I enjoy tutoring violin, writing, and math the most.

...Everyone that I have ever tutored has walked out more passionate about the subject, even if it was one they initially hated. They have always had better grades than when they started, and I have been lucky enough to help many of my tutees gain entrance into their dream schools, like UCLA. I must admit that I do not only live studying for MCATs and tutoring, and enjoy cooking when I find the time. I...

...the piano and guitar. Throughout the last two years of my high school career, I spent upwards of 20 hours a week tutoring in subjects including AP Physics 1, AP Calculus AB/BC, Middle School Mathematics, Science, and Spanish, Regents Geometry, Regents Algebra, Regents Trigonometry, and US History. I understand how the young adolescent mind operates, and am able to employ several different teaching styles (e.g. visual, conceptual, verbal) due to my knowledge of the subject...

...and arrive at success. I am a likeable tutor who listens and observes well, and provides clear direction. I am able to understand subject matter deeply while being able to break down complex methods into small and easily understandable steps. I am very creative in coming up with unique ways for you to understand concepts that you are struggling with. I can work with you to come up with and execute a good plan to...

...the student. My in-depth knowledge and experience with improvisation allow me to flexibly change problem solving approaches based on what the student needs. I am focused on engaging everyone I work with and am keenly attuned to whether people are truly following along. As an actor and director with a degree in science, I am equally at home with "science-y" and "arts-y" students. I am there to help foster a love for learning regardless of...

I am currently an undergraduate student at Wesleyan University and am majoring in molecular biology and biochemistry. At Wesleyan, I've been a member of the Science Outreach program, where we teach scientific concepts to students at local elementary schools. This experience has been extremely rewarding and has made me interested in helping other students as well.

I am a first-year at Yale University studying computer science and economics. Prior to Yale, I graduated from Phillips Academy Andover, where I took a plethora of computer science and math courses. I am extremely passionate and excited about helping other students reach their full academic potential, and look forward to working with you!

A hardworking and organized student and worker, who is eager to learn, teach, and contribute to the community.

As a master's student and former medical student, I know how challenging academics can be. I also know how having a helping hand, a guidance through the confusion, can help one gain confidence in themselves to excel. From tutoring children to post-graduates, I have seen that all students (no matter their age, level of education, strengths, weaknesses, etc.) who are willing to learn can succeed. ... In a typical first session, the student and I usually...

...religious school, I taught students of all ages, ranging from Pre-K through 8th Grade. In high school, I helped prepare students for AP, SAT, ACT, and SAT subject tests as part of my role in the National Honor Society. I have considerable personal experience with a vast array of subjects and love sharing my knowledge and experience with others. From calculus to creative writing, I have a genuine passion for all academic pursuits and helping...

...with persistence and grit, students can develop an extremely solid foundation of learning that can aid them in tests and everyday life. I definitely stress practice problems and problem solving in my approach, however I am open and flexible to feedback and adjustment. As a tutor, I hope to aid students in attaining their full academic potential! Besides academics, I also enjoy spending time with friends, performing piano (especially classical and jazz), and composition.
