Currently and while at Tufts, I have been working for the Center of Engineering Education Outreach Center. I am currently involved in a project helping students from Indonesia learn engineering concepts and fundamentals using LEGOs.I enjoy tutoring students in all levels of mathematics and physics. As an engineer, I understand the need for young students to be scientifically literate and capable.

Robert
AP Chemistry Tutor • +28 Subjects
I graduated from Earlham College with a dual major in Classical Studies (Ancient Greek and Latin) and Peace and Global Studies. Shortly after, I received a second education by joining the Peace Corps. In Peace Corps, I worked for three years in Swaziland as an HIV educator and English instructor.What I have learned in my years of tutoring and teaching experience is that it is really important to meet people where they are. Everyone learns differently, and I consider it my responsibility to adapt, research and do my part to find something that works well for each of my students. My experiences have taught me that for teachers and tutors, there are no results without patience and flexibility.My favorite subjects are Chemistry and Latin, and I am enrolled in Calculus and Biochemistry this semester. In my spare time, I walk in the Arboretum, play video games and deal with my medical school applications.

I am a graduate of Ithaca College with a B.A. in Spanish. Since graduation, I have taught English in Alcazar de San Juan and Madrid, Spain for four years. There, I taught adults, primary school aged students and adolescents. I am really fond of learning languages and I am most passionate about tutoring Spanish and ESL. I enjoy preparing creative lesson plans, teaching the Jolly phonics phonetic system to primary school students, evaluating and assessing students' progress and preparing students for the Trinity, Starters, Movers, Flyers, KET and First Certificate Cambridge exams. As a native English speaker, I know exactly how I would like to be taught Spanish and design a variety of activities based on what the student desires. I am a firm believer in education and enjoy sharing this appreciation with others. I am accustomed to working with people from many different backgrounds and eagerly modify my teaching to meet the need of each individual. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the cinema, singing, acting, reading and learning languages.

Kevin
ACT Math Tutor • +23 Subjects
I have recently graduated from Northwestern University with a degree in chemistry. I just started working a day job, but I would love to get into tutoring again! I tutored a bit of general chemistry in college and honestly, I loved the experience! I would love to teach chemistry and math because of my solid foundation in these subjects. I would love to be a teacher later in life, but for now, I want to focus on how far I can go with chemistry. On my free time, I love playing Ultimate Frisbee, running, watching TV, and hanging out with friends. I believe that compatibility is very important between tutor and student, so I definitely hope that I am able to communicate with some students that need help in the maths and sciences!

Frequently Asked Questions
A tutor can work with you to move beyond vague topic sentences and craft a thesis that makes a specific, arguable claim—the foundation of a compelling essay. They'll help you map out your essay's structure by identifying how each paragraph supports your thesis, ensuring your arguments build logically rather than feel scattered. Through personalized feedback on your drafts, tutors can show you exactly where organization breaks down and help you restructure sections for clarity and impact.
Revision focuses on big-picture issues like thesis clarity, argument strength, and paragraph organization—does your essay actually prove what you claim? Editing addresses sentence-level concerns like grammar, word choice, and flow. A tutor can guide you through revision first by asking critical questions about your evidence and reasoning, then help you edit for polish. This two-stage approach prevents you from wasting time fixing comma splices in paragraphs you might later delete.
Writer's block often stems from perfectionism or unclear thinking rather than lack of ideas. A tutor can help you break through by using strategies like freewriting (getting messy thoughts down without judgment), talking through your argument aloud, or starting with the paragraph you find easiest rather than the introduction. They can also help you identify whether you're stuck because your thesis needs clarifying or because you need more evidence—solving the real problem rather than just pushing through.
Strong essays don't just state claims—they prove them with specific examples, quotes, or data. A tutor can help you evaluate whether each paragraph has concrete support by asking "What evidence backs this up?" and "Would a skeptical reader believe this?" They'll show you how to weave evidence into your argument rather than dropping it in awkwardly, and help you distinguish between surface-level observations and analysis that actually deepens your point.
Many students either over-cite (interrupting every sentence with a source) or under-cite (forgetting to credit ideas). A tutor can teach you when citations are needed, how to introduce sources smoothly with signal phrases, and how to format them correctly in MLA, APA, or Chicago style. They'll help you understand that citations serve your argument—they build credibility and show you've done research—rather than feeling like a burdensome requirement tacked onto your writing.
Academic writing doesn't mean sounding robotic or using unnecessarily complex words. A tutor can help you find the balance between clarity and formality by analyzing your sentence patterns, word choices, and tone. They'll show you how to cut jargon that obscures meaning, vary sentence structure to keep readers engaged, and use active voice where possible. Through revision of your actual writing, you'll develop a voice that sounds intelligent and authentically yours, not like you're imitating someone else.
Summary tells what happened; analysis explains how and why it matters. In literary essays, a tutor can help you move beyond plot summary by teaching you to examine literary devices (symbolism, imagery, tone), character motivation, and thematic significance. They'll guide you in using textual evidence not just to prove you read the book, but to support an original interpretation—showing how specific scenes or word choices reveal deeper meaning about the author's message.
The best tutoring feedback identifies patterns in your writing—recurring issues like weak topic sentences, vague word choices, or rushed conclusions—so you can apply lessons to future essays. A tutor will explain *why* something needs revision (not just mark it wrong), help you practice the skill on new material, and check your progress on subsequent drafts. Over time, you'll internalize these patterns and catch them yourself, building writing skills that transfer across all your classes.
