Kelly

Biology Tutor • +5 Subjects

I have taught middle school science in Florida for 10 years and provided tutoring in science on and off during that time. I received my Bachelor's Degree from the University of Central Florida in Science Education with a specialization in Biology. I am currently certified to teach general science 5-9 and Biology 6-12. My experience as a teacher along with my passion for helping others all contribute to my success as a tutor. My favorite subject to tutor is life science. I love learning about health, living things, and animal diversity. I've always found teaching life science to be my favorite subject to teach because it is such a hands on subject that most people enjoy learning about. Who doesn't like learning about animals? I also tutor earth and space science and physical science. I enjoy creating a positive learning environment and personalizing each lesson to best meet the needs of the learner. I always try make the subject fun, because it really is! Some of my hobbies include traveling, photography, camping, and my newest interest: baking and decorating cupcakes.

Liza

College English Tutor • +8 Subjects

Though I hail from north Texas, I attended Principia College, a small liberal arts institution in Illinois. There, I earned my Bachelor of Arts in English, with an emphasis in literary studies. As a student and Postgraduate Teaching Intern, I gained a great deal of tutoring experience in writing and literature. I took a rigorous training course to become a tutor for Principia's writing center my junior year, and thereafter served as a peer Writing Tutor, helping students with papers in a variety of subjects, for a year and a half. After graduating, I continued to tutor students writing literature papers as a teaching assistant for the College's English department for a year. Now that I'm back in Texas, running a small student residence near UT, I'm grateful that I get to continue tutoring! I absolutely love working with students and seeing them grow as writers and thinkers. I work from the basis that all my students are capable of successfully completing any task or assignment given to them, and I serve to share tools and strategies that will help them do so, while also showing them much support and compassion. When I'm not working, I'm most likely cycling, reading and writing at the park, or exploring new foods and places around town.

Chase

Algebra Tutor • +11 Subjects

I am a firm believer in adaptive tutoring. Each student has an optimal learning style, and I am excellent at modifying the way I tutor to cater to the specific needs of each person. I also believe that the best learning is fun learning, and there are plenty of ways to make content exciting and, furthermore, memorable. My favorite subjects are mid-level maths like Algebra 1 & 2, Trigonometry, and Geometry. However, I am very helpful in the other areas listed and more than happy to help in any way I can. I look forward to working with as many students as possible, because learning is so much fun and beneficial to our future. Let's make the world better, one person at a time!

Raymond

Elementary School Reading Tutor • +16 Subjects

I am currently a teacher at a private school for students with disabilities. I graduated with my Masters degree from Montclair State University with a dual certification in K-6 and special education. I teach students from ages 14-18 and have found techniques utilized in the classroom are extremely effective when tutoring students one on one. Teaching is a critical component of my life and observable progress means the world to me. Ive found that academic progress stems from interpersonal relationships between teacher, student and content. I enjoy teaching every subject but specialize in English and Social Studies. For me, its simply about making the academic content engaging for the students. Ultimately this leads to comprehension and personal intellectual progress. In my spare time I enjoy exercising, cooking, reading and traveling!

Haani

ACT Prep Tutor • +50 Subjects

Graduating from UNC Chapel Hill in 3 years and securing my Master's just a year later, I'm well versed in navigating the education system and getting the most from it.Since high school, I've been tutoring. Friends, family, personally, and professionally, I've run the gamut. While I have tutored almost every subject, I specialize in STEM and Standardized Testing.In my view, building academic skills and confidence go hand-in-hand, when you feel knowledgeable it's much easier to demonstrate that knowledge. I take pride in meeting my students where they're at, helping them digest the subject in a way that just 'clicks' for them.

Daniel

Algebra Tutor • +19 Subjects

I graduated from Allegheny College with a BS in Chemistry last Spring. I am very passionate about chemistry and will begin working for my PhD this fall at the University of Maryland. In the meantime, I am excited to be back in Manhattan to tutor students in chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics. I have had a love for math and science for a long time and believe that the problem solving skills needed to crack these subjects are critical for students looking to be successful in whatever field they choose to pursue. For this reason, I push my students to not only master the material, but also teach strategies to recognize problem structures that will help them tackle new material in the future. In my spare time I enjoy playing soccer and traveling. I have spent a good deal of time in South America and am always looking for excuses to return. I truly enjoyed tutoring students in chemistry during college, but as a graduate of Beacon High School in Manhattan I am excited to be back in the City and working with New York's next round of science and math enthusiasts.

I am passionate about teaching and helping students succeed in academics. I believe in treating students as individuals and catering my style to their aptitude and most effective style of learning. I emphasize understanding concepts as opposed to rote memorization, ensuring students have the tools to tackle any problem they may come across.

Whether your student attends a Worcester Public Schools campus, a charter school, or a private institution, we can match them with a tutor familiar with their specific academic environment and local expectations.

Massachusetts has rigorous state standards, particularly in math and English language arts, and personalized 1-on-1 instruction is proven to help students master these benchmarks more effectively than classroom instruction alone.
