Certified Tutors From Massachusetts Institute of Technology

...studies at MIT to my current research position now at Washington University. In college I tutored Biology, Chemistry and Organic Chemistry to fellow undergraduates. In graduate school I was a teaching assistant for undergraduate courses in Immunology and Genetics.The combination of my research experience along with my teaching experience means that I use the things...

...Chemistry class that ran for the whole academic school year. I am currently a teacher for the SAT. I'm very excited to be a tutor for VarsityTutors. I have a very methodical approach to teaching. I want the students to understand the rationale behind the question. Yes, the student may get a specific question right,...

My tutoring experience ranges from teaching a mid-20s Bloomberg employee how to program in Python to helping fellow MIT computer science undergraduates understand the more thorny minutiae of digital system design. I spend most of my free time programming, reading about transportation and politics, and playing softball most summer weekends.

...undergraduate students as a graduate student and trained medical doctors when I graduated. I have worked in private medical practice educating patients and other doctors. I can teach all levels of math, biology, and earth science. I am also familiar with New York State education regents requirements. I have relatives in the teaching profession and...

...during my stint in grad school, and look forward to passing on my expertise to you. I have extensive teaching experience, with subjects ranging from basic math, to SAT and GRE test prep, to college- and graduate-level physics. I've worked with high school students, 10 year olds, and folks old enough to be my parents,...

Specializing in teaching Math and Science at all grade levels, I help in understanding the "hard" subjects.

...a necessary companion to physics. I also enjoy helping students prepare for the SAT because it is a test where practice makes perfect. Seeing a student gain confidence and start growing in knowledge is a very satisfying experience. Outside of academics my extra-curriculars and hobbies include: classical piano, EMS, swimming, 3D printing, and medical devices.

...interest in the subject yields better grades. If you enjoy the subject you are working on, you will be more likely to learn the material. My philosophy is to guide the student to figuring out the correct answer, and hopefully in the process the student will understand the concepts behind the problem.

...to develop their analytical, quantitative, and problem solving skills. My key areas of expertise are any type of math, physics I, and finance/accounting. I am very good at explaining difficult concepts and breaking down problems into manageable steps. My undergraduate eduction is in engineering and I have an MBA in finance. I am an adjunct...

I have taught intellectual property law for the past two years and SAT preparation for the past 10 years. I am a great tutor because not only are my fundamental verbal and quantitative skills strong, but I am able to communicate my reasoning and problem solving skills quickly and clearly.... My teaching philosophy is to help empower students to stay calm and use what information they know to arrive at the correct answers on tests through...

...test-prep programs at my high school. I'm passionate about Math and Chemistry, but what really lights me up about tutoring is the face of someone who finally "gets it". I love to ask questions to the people I tutor, and I believe that building a strong foundation is important to higher-level learning. Alongside tutoring, I...

...I read science fiction, and do Tai Chi, and am working towards becoming an instructor, which is another form of tutoring as I see it. I am an Eagle Scout, and for many years, I have mentored young men who are working on attaining that rank. I volunteer to help the seniors in my home...

...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,...

...communication. Most Math and Science classes are normally taught by teaching professionals who are well qualified to lecture in their areas of expertise. However, if the material is not explained in a way that is understandable to the student, then it may be necessary to recruit the help of a tutor. I like to use...

...solving and socratic questioning, I work with my students at their pace and in a manner that best suits their unique learning styles. As a tutor in math and science subjects, I believe that the greatest (and most challenging) problem solving skill is being able to bridge the gap between the physical and the mathematical;...

...moved on to my college career at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, I have found that collaborating is one of the main keys to succeeding. Chemical Engineering, my major, is one of the most difficult fields to pursue, and it requires the abilities of communication, patience, and perseverance. As a result, I am a team...

...various hybrid technology-art camps and seminars for elementary through high schoolers. Predominantly, I tutor Algebra I-IV and Essay Writing/Editing, but also tutor Calc I, Trigonometry, Pre-Calc, and Pre-Algebra. I love to help people succeed, and that's what I focus on when tutoring. Together we will find the right pace for your sessions and I will...

...had a terrific impact on my time here. In my free time I enjoy playing soccer, traveling and wearing fun earrings! My experience tutoring with high school students primarily in math and SAT prep has taught me that students learn best and have the most fun when they aren't afraid to make mistakes. Because of...

...high school level has included: computer programming, robotics, 3D Graphics and Animation, and Introduction to Engineering. I was the coach of the FIRST Robotics Team and ran a Game Development Club. I enjoy working with students and to help them build confidence in the STEM subjects. My approach is to help students understand the key...

...in science and math for 7 years. I also spent 8 months working and studying in France, and have tutored high school and adult students in French. When I'm not working or studying, I love playing volleyball (indoors or on the beach!) and spending time outside, canoeing or hiking with my dog. I look forward...
