Award-Winning IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches Tutors for Students in Boston, MA

Ultimately, what I hope to effect in my students is some kind of core change in how they perceive, communicate, or act in the world. These core changes, in addition to the standards of close reading and academic writing, include cognitive dexterity, greater complexity of thought, a democratic view of language, and awareness of cultural modes of representation.

...are fluent in English but struggle with certain reading and writing skills. I have students who were born in raised in the area, some who have been here for only a few short years, and some who just came to the US from another country. With all this, I believe everyone should have the opportunity to learn and grow, and I believe everyone is smart and skilled in their own way. There are different ways...

...academic mentor with the Breakthrough Greater Boston volunteer program. What excites me most about being a math tutor is the opportunity to help middle- and high-school students resolve their confusion surrounding logical abstractions and let them ultimately take ownership of those concepts. I specialize in those subjects where frustration can easily set in as certain notions that appear removed from reality are introduced but not necessarily framed properly: algebra, geometry, pre-calculus, and calculus. My goal...

...and success have undoubtedly improved. I strongly encourage students to seek one-on-one support, especially outside of school, because it is a great way to understand all the material you need to know in a less stressful setting and get ahead in your classes.

...recently graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a Master of Science in Civil & Environmental Engineering. Since my undergraduate degree was in environmental sciences (and not engineering), I had to take a lot of extra math courses to get into CMU. While I was taking my prerequisite courses to get into graduate school, I worked part-time as a tutor for Upward Bound. My favorite subjects to tutor are math, physics, chemistry and biology. I firmly...

...have also taken coursework in various disciplines of mathematics and business. During college, I gained experience tutoring in two primary ways.
