Award-Winning GRE Tutors in Somerville, MA

...in Latin from the University of Michigan, I am ready to make a powerful impact on students outside of the classroom. While I specialize in tutoring Latin and Greek and am familiar with a variety of textbooks, I am also skilled at preparing students for the SAT and GRE--particularly the reading and writing portions. Although I clearly have a deep passion for my subject matter, I have an even greater passion for student achievement that...

...Counselor in a local high school while also tutoring students around the Boston area. In what seems like a previous life, I worked as an Assistant Director of Admission at Brown University, my alma mater, reading applications, meeting students, and giving presentations across the country. I have also taught SAT Prep to students both individually and in classroom settings. My favorite color is blue and my favorite ice cream is cookies and cream.

...general relativity (though I'm still trying to figure out it really meant!) I equally enjoyed the experimental and laboratory side. Part of my interest, and the most abiding one, in physics relates to flying and airplanes. I have been interested in airplanes and how they fly since very young. During college, I was a member of a small group of students, primarily from the civil engineering department, that annually designed and built a remote-controlled, scaled-down...

...well versed in all grade school and college-level mathematics. The teaching style I have developed through my own experience, as well as keeping up with the results of physics education research, follows a Socratic principle. Students should be carefully guided as they pursue their own understanding, and should be able to experience for themselves the fun of figuring out the natural world. I also believe that physics and mathematics are languages, and that explicit recognition...

...I like to make sure students are not afraid of their subject matter and are enjoying themselves! My calm, patient, and compassionate nature makes it easy for my students to feel at ease and not to be intimidated by what they are learning. I also focus on my students’ learning styles so that each student can learn in the most productive and successful way possible. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy cooking, playing the...

...music and African studies courses. I tutor in many different areas, but my passion is in working with students in writing, literature, critical reading, music, and French. In working to prepare students for standardized tests, I can offer a wide variety of strategies for vocabulary, writing, and time management. As an educator, I am particularly interested in the transitions from high school to college, and from college into the professional world. Outside of teaching, I...

...Arts in Biology from the University of Pennsylvania. My favorite aspect of tutoring is working with a student to find the strategy that best suits his or her skill set when it comes to attacking questions on tests; this especially comes in handy when working towards Standardized Tests. I tutor a wide range of subjects, but my favorites are Math and Science. I also have a large amount of experience in Competition Math and Science,...

...Chinese; adults in Newton who are trying to improve their English (ESL); and high school students in English, Algebra, and study skills. While I tutor several subjects, I am most passionate about Mandarin Chinese and essay writing. In my experience helping students who take an interest in learning Chinese and Chinese culture, I always found that learning and teaching can happen to both the tutor and the client. I also found that helping students construct...

...to students so easily, because I understand the difficulties with learning. My tutoring sessions involve a very interactive approach on the part of the student with a reward based approach for their efforts. This is my way of promoting student interest in the topics of study, to prevent monotony and boredom with school work. I like to try to incorporate games into my tutoring sessions that may include topics they have learned; whether it's a...

...and the MCAT. In general, any exam related to any of my favorite 3 subjects. I am offering you the knowledge I gained during 4 years of BS in Chemistry two years of MS in Organic Chemistry, four years of MD and six years of PhD in Biophysics, as well as the experience I have from several years of tutoring/teaching and lifelong passion for teaching. With my whole heart I would love to see you...
