Award-Winning Geometry Tutors serving Cambridge, MA

Learning isn't always easy; in fact it's often uncomfortable. This means it's possible to find meaning even in classes we hate or the ones we think we are bad at. For this reason, I hope to work with learners who might be uncertain about their interests and futures.

I am a current student at New York University, studying for a BS in Applied Physics. I have been tutoring for 4 years, both one on on and in small group settings. I love tutoring because I get to teach others the subjects I am so passionate about. I am excited to get to know new students and learn with them!

Hi, my name is John. I have taught math for over 30 years and I still love it now as much as I did when I first started. I love math and I find it fun, and when I work with students, I find ways to translate this to them. I love mathematical thinking and I love helping students develop a sense of this.... Reasoning, critical thinking, and review are the basics of teaching. A student...

...school in January or next September and have taken the GRE (preping to take the specialized Physics GRE in October). Math has always been somewhat intuitive for me, but once I got to college I knew I needed additional help. I know how much an outside perspective can help solve a frustrating problem and understand how important patience is in learning concepts that are somewhat difficult to grasp. Love being active, biking around Boston, and...

...love math and think it's fun! I can help you because I believe EVERYONE can "do" math once they understand how it works. I use different methodologies to determine how best to teach each student - are you a visual learner? Let's draw pictures! Auditory? Let's talk! Kinetic? Let's use some manipulatives! Let's make math FUN! I also teach music and can help with AP Music Theory, and am a published author and have experience...

...computer science. I have been working with students for several years now and have provided academic support to my peers throughout my time as a high school and now college student. Through my 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...

...intimidating, where you don't know how to even start, can be discouraging and counterproductive. I try to provide enough scaffolding to make students feel safe exploring, and to try something else if the first approach doesn't work. I also try to teach the process of solving problems, which students can use for themselves as they build confidence. I have a Masters Degree in Chemistry from Cornell, where I was a teaching assistant for Introductory Chemistry,...

...manner. That is a skill I possess in spades. I have the drive necessary in order to make sure that each student I work with gains a mastery over their subjects, and always try to use real-world examples in order to ensure that my students are able to understand even more complex concepts. I am both patient and eager to help each of my students, and will always go the extra mile.... To explain things in...

...experiences, I believe, someone can have. I have taught briefly at the high school level and assisted at the graduate level, and I have found that I am skilled at adjusting and catering my teaching abilities to students with different past experiences that require different ways of learning. I am currently a practicing biostatistician and a PhD student in biostatistics at the University of Massachusetts, at Amherst. I am excited about the opportunity to help...

...Geometry, but I'm comfortable with all math content up through Calculus. Some of my most enjoyable and rewarding experiences working with students have been helping them with assignments individually during a free period or after school. I'm excited to leverage my experience in the classroom in work with even more students on a one-on-one basis. I believe that any students can make huge academic gains in any subject area - no matter how much they...

I was educated in China and the United States. Having taken many mathematics courses in both countries, I learned many ways to solve math problems by using strategies learned in both cultures. Therefore my background, in both learning and teaching math, is very strong.

...College in Spring 2018. I'm currently in graduate school to become a pharmacist - I'm in my first year of the PharmD program at Northeastern University. As you can probably guess, my area of expertise is the sciences - specifically Biology and Chemistry. However, I am also able to teach other subjects such as math through high school levels, and standardized test prep (SAT, ACT, PCAT, etc). I have been tutoring with Varsity Tutors since...

...This past May, 2014, I graduated Boston University with a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and Philosophy. As my degree indicates, I have always been 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...

...class out of about 250 students. I was involved in National Honor Society and Vice President of National Business Honors Society. I am currently a 2017 PharmD Candidate at the University of Rhode Island which is a 6-year program to obtain my Doctorate of Pharmacy. I have experience working with students in various math and science fields, mainly chemistry, biology, algebra, academic writing, history, and test taking. I have tutored students ranging from middle school...

Hi! My name is Zina Yonten and I am currently taking the Fab-academy course out of Dassault Systemes in Waltham. I have a mechanical Engineering degree from TCU. During my undergraduate years, i tutored underclassmen precalculus and calculus 1 with 100% success rate. I also tutor economics since it was one of my favorite classes and i excelled in it. In my free time I play basketball.

...more time and perhaps a different teaching style, you would get it very quickly. But, what actually happens is the teacher keeps going on ahead and you are still stuck on the previous problem. My goal is to find a way to guide students step by step through topics at their pace, and by using their own personal thought process and learning style, so that it becomes intuitive and fun to learn! I am a...

...my training in integrative and preventive medicine. I have over 10 years of experience in taking and helping others sit for standardized and college exams. I have also tutored medical school courses at Harvard Medical School. I know what it's like to encounter a difficult subject, and the frustration with having to study for a particular exam, or for a course that is uninteresting but a prerequisite, which is why I have developed methods over...

...Computer Science. I am looking to tutor students in the subjects of Mathematics, Programming, and Statistics. I believe that the process of learning is delicate. From introducing concepts in a basic framework to ease initial struggle, to pushing my students to complete challenging problems to solidify understand, I believe each step in the process is essential, but should be adjusted to each student. At the end of it all, I feel there is nothing more...

...I am studying toward a double major in mathematics and Italian Studies, as well as a minor in physics. I peer tutored in all four years of high school in various levels of mathematics, biology, and Latin. Now, at my college I am a Learning Assistant for undergraduate multivariable calculus students and elementary Italian students. I have the most fun leading small group study sessions before exams, where we fine-tune the skills and study habits...

I am an environmental science and engineering student in my Senior year of college. I love tutoring students and helping them perform their best on standardized tests and in school, and pride myself on being available after tutoring sessions to answer any questions they might have.
