I am a graduate of Princeton University, where I received my B.A. in Classics with a focus on Roman History and a minor in Environmental Studies. Since graduation, I have worked as a teacher in Lawrence MA, where I help design curriculum for social studies and science and teach reading, math, social studies, and science to kindergarten through first grade students. I have also tutored adults working towards their GED, led ESL conversation classes, and worked with high school age students. I have experience tutoring a broad range of subjects and working with a wide variety of ages. Whether it’s learning how to be a better test-taker or honing an essay on Shakespeare, my favorite thing about tutoring is seeing the great progress my students make. Although my college focus was on history and literature, I also love to tutor math, which was my favorite subject all through middle school and high school. Outside of academics, I love playing field hockey, hiking, traveling, and spending time with my family and two corgis.

I recently graduated from Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts, with a major in psychology and a minor in computer science. There, I have worked as a writing mentor and a statistics tutor. While I tutor a wide range of subjects, I especially enjoy tutoring psychology, mathematics, statistics and writing. I can also help you prepare for standardized tests like the ACT and GRE.As a psychology major, I aspire to understand the cognitive principles behind learning to improve my teaching. I am passionate about tutoring because I find it inspiring to see students take on challenges and accomplish things that they thought they could not do. I believe that everyone can become effective learners with good learning habits and practice, and my goal is to help you develop learning strategies that suit you and optimize your learning.

My name is Yu Wen and I am a strong believer that anyone can learn anything! I attended the University of Pennsylvania as an undergraduate and recently finished my Master's in Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. As a tutor, I create a space where my learners can feel empowered and safe to take on the sometimes difficult, yet often fulfilling and fun, challenge of learning new things. I practice a growth mindset philosophy, and I often say that it is okay to be wrong, it just means you haven't learned the material... yet. With patience and effective pedagogy, I strive to give my students confidence that they can learn anything they set their mind to. I take my students' desires, motivations, goals, and interests seriously. Fun fact: I am an international student from Malaysia!

I am a researcher and educator. I'm skeptical of received wisdom, have made a habit of getting paid to travel around the world, and love the outdoors and reading. Let's master your subject, but more importantly, master the art of learning and figure out why you're doing it."The first principle is that you must not fool yourself - and you are the easiest person to fool." - Richard Feynman

I recently graduated Medical School after seven loooooong years (No pre-med... straight off to medschool- This is the Mexican system)I struggled a lot my first years of medical school. One... learning the medical language, Oh dear lord... It was soooo difficult learning how to change the term from "tummy ache" to "Gastrointestinal discomfort or Acute abdominal pain). This went on until I learned the etymology of the word, (believe me, It does help to know some easy and fun words from their greek, latin, french root) - If you want to ACE anatomy, this is important!Secondly, PHYSIOLOGY! i tried to ignore it, tried my best to get around and just do my own thing. Big mistake. After a while I started to integrate my reading into this magical and beautiful understanding on how or body works. It is a blissfully organized system.Learning pharmacology. Still struggle with that.So... I created stories, characters, songs, mnemotecnics, drawings, mind maps, flashcards.... you name it. I've done it.What works for me is not memorizing but really understanding the concept, apply it in my everyday life.Things started to make sense. It was an enlightment moment when I saw my first patient with Diabetes, I knew everything about it.Genetics, Pathophysiology, Presentation, Workup, Treatment plan and discussing with the patient what it means to have Diabetes. (It was sooo fun! )I would love to help you out during your training, exam week (we call it HELL-WEEK) and provide the tools necessary to help you accomplish your biggest dream (or just pass the exam...)After all of that reading, writing, not sleeping, drinking seven eleven coffee's in the middle of the night, I treat myself with things I am passionate about. I loooove to exercise (yoga, weight lifting, walking, biking, hiking) read good books (not that medical books are not good, but a little bit of Paulo Cohelo wont hurt me) singing, dancing playing the guitar. Laughing, eating, hanging out. BALANCE (or Homeostasis )I am currently doing research at Massachusetts General Hospital on Mind and Body medicine and its influence on a molecular, genetic, organ level) and I am sooo passionate about that. Life has to be interesting, changing things up... not everything is studying (I found it very difficult to understand this)I invite you to take part of this journey of self exploring and learning through diverse techniques that will enhance your comprehension while having fun doing so.

I received my Bachelors of Science in Chemistry from Dickinson College in Pennsylvania. After college I joined a Tri-Institutional Ph.D. program in Chemical Biology where I carried out my coursework at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY and the research portion of my degree was performed at The Rockefeller University in New York City. After completing my Ph.D. in the Spring of 2013 I then moved back to Massachusetts, which is where I grew up. While obtaining my degrees I have taught and mentored students in science from a variety of different age groups. These experiences have taught me how to tailor my teaching methods to a particular student. I chose to pursue a career in science because it is a subject I find interesting and exciting. I have spent the last 10 years advancing my understanding of Biology and Chemistry and I enjoy using this knowledge to help make science less confusing and more fun for others. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my friends and family and spending time outdoors playing with my dog, going on runs and skiing.

I am a motivated Mechanical Engineering student at UMass Amherst, with a strong passion for teaching. In my free time, I rock climb, dance, and build crazy robotics projects. I love helping students of all ages build understanding and excitement for various subjects. I believe that, with patience and the right set of tools, you can grow to enjoy any subject. As someone who used to be terrible at math and was taught to love it, I can attest to the fact that the right teacher can make a world of difference. I hope to work with you and help you accomplish whatever you set your mind to.

I am an instruction librarian at a university in Boston and a former classroom teacher. I hold a degree in education and a degree in English language and literature, as well as a teaching license from the state of Massachusetts.My experience in and out of the classroom, as well as my study of educational theory and practice, informs my teaching. I believe in combining evidence-based practices with a personalized approach to customize content, strategies, and materials to help each student learn best. The brain is always learning, and I do my best to help facilitate that process by collaborating with my students to make our sessions engaging, informative, and (dare I say it?) fun.

I received my Bachelor of Science from Connecticut College with a major in Human Development. After graduating, I worked as a teacher in the Boston Public School system for two years, before earning a Master of Social Work from Boston College. I am currently a first year law student at Northeastern University School of Law.While teaching I worked with special education students who experienced a number of different learning challenges. Although I taught 7th grade math, I most enjoy tutoring in reading and writing. I love helping students learn to express themselves more thoroughly through language. Outside of academia I enjoy reading and spending time outside, being active. In high school I was a competitive swimmer, which lead to my playing on the varsity water polo team while I was in college.

As a devoted lifelong learner, I frequently participate in professional development, courses, and workshops. This love of learning permeates my professional life and I enjoy helping others identify and reach their learning goals. I recently graduated from the Harvard Graduate School of Education with my Ed.M. and have experience teaching people of all ages in museums over the past two years. Prior to that, I worked as a registered nurse for five years where I often did patient education in the middle of fast-paced, high pressure scenarios. I believe everyone has the capacity to succeed academically. However, each person's path to success is unique, requiring personalized strategies that complement individual learning styles. I am happy to work with students to help them discover the strategies that are most efficient and satisfying for them.
