Award-Winning Graduate Test Prep Tutors serving Cambridge, MA

...the student before we jump into the material. Even as we work through the session, it is not uncommon to joke around and laugh. Currently I am tutoring Biology and Life Sciences which are my favorite subjects because they can be observed in everyday life! After receiving my MBA in Healthcare, I have had more time to spend on hobbies. In my newly acquired spare time, I enjoy being active outdoors, reading fiction, playing sports,...

...Algebra and Geometry. My tutoring philosophy is mostly about proper 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 different examples and analogies to help explain difficult concepts, I...

...to find ways to tailor the subject material to their interests and everyday lives. For the past few months, I have been teaching students of all ages (age 4 up to adult) English as a secondary language. These students are from East Asia and have varying degrees of fluency in English. I have found I particularly enjoy working with young children and finding ways to engage them in learning. In my everyday life, I go...

I specialize in helping students to learn to read and write effectively and efficiently. For example, I walk students through the process of how to read a text and how to write an essay so that they can eventually acquire the skills to do it on their own. I am perhaps best known for co-authoring the book "The Mysterious Death of Kurt Cobain".

...I can’t do in a classroom: I can perfectly customize my teaching to the needs of the student. Throughout the process I communicate clearly and frequently with the parents. I try to cultivate in my students a love of learning for the sake of learning. Of course there are always those difficult days when a student is tired or would do anything other than homework. To maintain interest and motivation I keep my lessons fun,...

I graduated in 2011 from Dartmouth College as a Math major. I have successfully tutored for the SATs, APs, and high-school and college level math, science and computer science courses.

...look forward to their tutoring sessions. While that might seem like a stretch to some, I have seen first-hand how invigorating and liberating it can be to get over the hump in all aspects of English. I graduated from Emerson College in 2012 with a BA in Writing, Literature, and Publishing. While there, I helped countless peers get past their reading and writing issues through fun tutoring sessions. Outside of writing, I work as an...

...of my college experience- and sometimes the most fun part- and that's why I decided to work as a tutor between undergrad and med school. My main focus in tutoring is creating examples, analogies, and practice problems to help you understand your class content or study material in the most accessible way possible. I am also happy to help with building study strategies and tools around the specific material you're working on. I will always...

...enjoyable subjects to tutor because through them we can begin to understand how and why the natural world works. The sciences are what propel our civilization forward and hold the keys to our future. It is a genuine pleasure to be able to share my enthusiasm on these subjects with new students and hopefully make the daunting world of natural sciences more approachable. Outside of work and teaching, I enjoy building computers, SCUBA diving, playing...

...currently a fourth year student. I will be doing my residency in Family Medicine starting July 2024. I scored in the 99th percentile on the MCAT including a perfect score in the biology section and was certified to tutor MCAT Biology by a well-known private MCAT tutoring company (stopped due to COVID). I am a tutor for my medical school and focus on genetics and small group NBME Step 1 tutoring. I scored in the...

...they just need the proper tools to gain the confidence to succeed. Some students simply don't have all the information they need to do something well, but this doesn't mean that they are automatically "bad" at reading or writing papers. I try to help students develop the skills they need so that they can move forward with confidence and continue to improve. I have been reading my whole life, and I have done a lot...

I have taught English as a foreign language for 17 years. I tutor people in speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar and pronunciation. I also teach German, AP World History and literature. I look forward to working with you.

...Latin at public and private schools to students in grades 1-12, and I strive to make the study of Latin come alive for students by using the language conversationally. In addition to my experience teaching Latin, I have previously taught classes and tutored students individually for the ACT, SAT, and SSAT. I can teach all subjects on these tests, and I have developed my own materials that are based on previously released tests. I particularly...

...that a student should never be punished or shamed for asking a question, and moreover that my time is best spent on students who are struggling with the topic at hand - students who already "get it" don't really need my help, after all. In my spare time, I have generic nerd hobbies, i.e. videogames, reading, etc. Besides that, I attend a rock climbing gym (which I have found to be THE premier exercise for...

...students on their essay writing. I also have first hand experience with effective test prep regimens for the iBT TOEFL and GRE Verbal Reasoning. My TOEFL score is 117 out of 120 and GRE Verbal Reasoning score is 168 out of 170, placing me in the 99th percentile of test takers. I truly believe that students deserve good tutors so I strive to help each of my students achieve their desired academic goals. In my...

...Algebra and Chemistry, as they both have discernible patterns within the material which leads to a better understanding as one builds new topics on previous ones. I have found that students have the most success in first reviewing basic concepts to assess and address where they are having difficulty, followed by continuous problem-solving to reinforce the concepts and strategies until they become second nature. Like the subjects that I teach, I believe that education is...

...having strengths in those subjects. In my mind, working with a student (especially in math) can be something like a game: there's a goal, there's someone to collaborate with, there are strategies to use, and if you let yourself you can have fun doing it. The mindset of curiosity and enthusiasm that comes from a game is powerful when used in a math or science setting. I also make a point of emphasizing thinking actively...

...time preparing for the SAT and many AP exams: I know the tests well and am excited to explore the varieties of questions with students as they prepare for the exams. Besides nurturing interests in many academic areas over the years, I have also sharpened strong communication skills by frequently discussing materials with my instructors and fellow students. To check if I've mastered a particular concept, I often try to imagine how I would explain...

...some of the areas they are currently working on to improve. By looking at all the skills a student has I believe we can find a way towards achieving the goals of learning. I think that planning is a very important skill as well and I like to work with all of my students with planning. This planning can be used for studying, for homework, for testing, and for any variety of areas that a...
