Award-Winning Latin Tutors serving Boston, MA

A hardworking and organized student and worker, who is eager to learn, teach, and contribute to the community.

At the core, I love learning and find it fun. In teaching, I try to convey that sense of fun to my students. I use a variety of techniques depending on my student's learning style, but I always focus on the fun of learning new things.... In a first session with a student, I would introduce the basic concepts and core questions of the subject, and determine my student's learning style in order to plan future...

...5 years of tutoring experience and experience tutoring elementary students all the way up to college students. Currently I am a sophomore at Cornell University studying neuroscience as my major and math as my minor. Even at college I have continued tutoring. I am on the E-board for our tutoring club. I also lead a study section for college students currently taking Comparative Physiology. For Varsity Tutors I tutor in the following subjects: biology, psychology,...

...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 it to others. I believe strong oral communication, along with an enthusiasm for the material, is crucial to...

...being able to explain concepts in words, to taking a more visual approach and looking at the big picture, to working through problems to figure out areas of difficulty. In my free time, I really enjoy playing alto saxophone and electric guitar, as well as working out at the gym and swimming laps in the pool. I have also been known to binge-watch TV shows and movie series on Netflix. I look forward to meeting...

...the University of Buea in Cameroon, West Africa. I travelled around Cameroon, working for a non-governmental organization called "Let Children Learn" tutoring students in rural areas of the country. These included students who could not afford to go to school and worked on their own in small groups in order to achieve their educational goals. Since moving to the United States, I have also had the opportunity to work with students in my school as...

...includes making sure the student understands the fundamentals necessary to tackle the problem, checking to make sure the student understands the concepts behind the problem, and coming up with a plan to practice and retain what the student has learned during the session. I believe anyone can succeed at any subject if he or she puts the work in and is guided by the proper teaching methods. In addition to languages, which are a lifelong...

...it alone. I had tutors help me every step of the way. Not only did they help me to boost my grades, but they provided me with academic confidence and mentoring, all of which made me realize that my greatest goals could be a tangible reality. Now I couldn't be happier in my career as a surgeon in training. I have ever since been "paying it forward," educating high school and college level students, and...

...I completed my undergraduate education at Saint Anselm College where I majored in Mathematics, with a secondary major in Classics. I graduated in the top 5% of my class from St. A's with an Honors B.A., Magna Cum Laude. I've tutored high school students from Philips Academy, Bedford High, Lexington High, Cambridge Rindge and Latin, Boston Latin, Concord Academy, the Commonwealth School, Noble and Greenough, the Rivers School, and many other wonderful schools in Massachusetts. Some...

...started teaching undergraduate and graduate classes during my last year there. At Harvard, I have earned the Derek Bok Certificate for Excellence in Teaching three separate times. I have taught students as young as 14 and as old as 85. German: I studied abroad in Osnabrck, Lower Saxony and Berlin, where I earned my C2 certificate (near-native proficiency) in German. While in Germany, I took classes, taught in German, on Greek and Latin philology. I...

...and then. My chief qualification is an Hon. BA in Classics from the University of Toronto (Trinity College) as well as numerous groups, organizations, and places where I've learned and taught. Yet my chief qualification isn't a piece of paper, or even an experience, but a genuine love of learning and an ability to inspire others with that same enthusiasm. I can tutor any number of things given my wide ranging background, but my chief...

...Public Health and Spanish/Latin American Studies. I work in education, and tutor people of all ages, because I believe wholeheartedly that "education is the key to solving most of the world's problems." I have experience working professionally with all ages and may assist someone in completing their Spanish assignments, test preparation, or in learning Spanish for their career. In college when I was studying abroad in Chile, I loved South America so much, I decided...

Undergraduate pre-med biochemistry student at UMass Amherst with tons of tutoring experience and a passion for helping students understand material :)

I got my degree in Physics with a minor in Political Science from Wheaton College in MA. I tutor Physics, Calculus, some Computer Science, Latin, and Writing. I particularly enjoy tutoring Writing because I spend most of my time these days writing anyways. I would describe my tutoring style as very dynamic and example-driven. I'm pretty good at coming up with exercises and methods on the fly, which has served me well so far.

...the City University of New York over the past four years. I seek to help students become confident autodidacts (self-learners) by connecting the critical tools of reading and writing to their own interests. I know that not all my students will relish the distinction between a direct object and indirect object with my intensity, but they all appreciate knowing how a solid understanding of the mechanics of grammar will make their essays even clearer and...

...enjoy exploring beyond our comfort zones regarding phonetics. With music, I absolutely love tutoring guitar. I have spent countless hours practicing guitar and have achieved a considerably advanced level at playing. My teaching philosophy is that learning should be fun. With the proper motivation, anything can be fun. I try to take the "real-world" approach to motivating students, assuring them that these skills learned during the tutoring session will be truly fulfilling and add a...

I have a BA in history and Classical languages from Roger Williams University (Bristol, RI) and a Master of Arts in the Humanities from the University of Chicago. My subjects are history, writing (especially essay writing), and Latin.

...in teaching directly towards standardized tests; rather, I believe in giving students abilities that they can use not only to get high scores, but to help them develop stronger, more well-rounded skill sets. Things like grammar or writing skills are useful in any field, and I would love to inspire a student who hates math, as I once did, to embrace it and even study it in college. I think that every student has the...

...physics, and a math minor. I have been tutoring for more than 6 years. For 2.5 years, I taught math to Cornell Engineering undergraduates, and I looked forward to it every week! On Varsity Tutors, I tutor up to college level mathematics and physics, test prep (including AP courses, and SAT reading/writing). Explaining difficult math and science concepts in plain English is my forte. I love teaching and will be glad to help anyone become...

...the Reading and Writing section of the SAT. I love engaging with students and I like figuring out how to tailor the tutoring experience to best fit their learning style. I am currently an English major, and I love writing (and editing!). I eventually intend to get my master's degree in education. In high school, I took four years of Latin and it was one of my favorite subjects! Outside of school, I enjoy reading...
