Award-Winning Linear Algebra Tutors serving Brookline, MA

...am a High School Math teacher and have been a tutor for 4 years for students from 1st grade through college. I received a Bachelor of Science in Applied Math from SUNY Geneseo and Master's degree in Secondary Education. I am very flexible in my teaching, adapting to student discoveries and questions in addition to alternating styles of teaching. I know that every learner is different and so I find ways to help all of...

I am a driven and passionate learner myself, currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Biology and Spanish at Clark University. While I tutor many subjects, I have extended expertise in biology, Spanish, and chemistry. I hope to convey not only knowledge, but an excitement for learning itself to my students.

...my academic training, scientific research felt not like a mere career choice for me; but an opportunity to fulfill my fundamentally inquisitive nature. Along this journey, I chose to focus my study on neuroscience and obtained a Ph.D. in this field. Now, I work in the biotechnology industry: writing patents for universities, emerging biotechnology companies, and inventors alike. This academic trajectory has enabled me to garner a fierce strength in writing/editing, biology, neuroscience, and critical...

...understand about a problem and what they do not, and how to navigate complexity and vagueness to arrive at answers themselves. This approach is far more effective in terms of understanding and retention than passively hearing explanations. I expect the students to let me know in advance with as much detail as possible what they need help with. This makes lessons much more productive and learning - cheaper (because students take more out of meetings per...

I'm a recent graduate from University of Minnesota. I completed a dual degree in psychology and mathematics. I have been tutoring for more than a year and I am looking forward to meeting new students here and helping them achieve their goals.

...they finally achieve that "AHA" moment. I have tutored students of all ages from elementary school to college, but I believe the skills and techniques I have acquired teaching young kids can be applied to students of all ages. I like to have fun with students when tutoring through an interactive process to keep students engaged and excited about learning. Outside of academics, I like to spend my competing on the mock trial team, playing...

...learn best by practicing, but it has to be the right kind of practice. Flailing around at something intimidating, where you don't know how to even start, can be discouraging and counterproductive. I try to provide enough scaffolding to make students feel safe exploring, and to try something else if the first approach doesn't work. I also try to teach the process of solving problems, which students can use for themselves as they build confidence....

...fan may understand the concepts of percentages better if it's explained in terms of number of free throws in comparison to total points scored. Or maybe the method is converting the ingredients from a recipe made for four people to a recipe for six. It is my job to help each student find what works best for them. I have a full-time day job, so I am available most nights and weekends. Online or in-person...

...and persevere through adversity. Failure, however, is never a setback; it is a step closer to success. When working with students, I refrain from providing direct answers to homework or test questions, for building a foundation for sustainable learning is more important than memorizing easy answers. Above all else, I focus on forming a personal relationship with each student to create an open and engaging learning environment. Everyone learns better when they know the instructor...

...capable of tutoring a number of subjects, I am happiest teaching math, which is a lifelong love. I believe strongly in the ability of education to improve one's quality of life; I still enjoy learning new topics every day. I want students to be able to use their knowledge to solve problems; pure memorization simply to pass a test is not my idea of a good education. In my spare time, I enjoy reading the...

...with ADHD, and first-generation college students, and I am confident I can help any person, no matter their background, achieve their academic goals in mathematics. I understand that math can seem hard and boringI used to hate math myself, until I finally cracked the code to understanding it intuitively and I don't blame anyone for struggling or disliking math. No matter where you come from, I can help you see the beauty in mathematics (or,...

...an increased familiarity with the content. I also have numerous machine learning projects with Python/Jupyter Notebook and explore my passion through tackling new data problems every day. My goal of the first session with any student is to gain a rapport with them and find common ground so we feel comfortable with each other. From there, I like to break complicated concepts down into their simple parts and demonstrate the big picture (the why?) of...

...working with high school and college students in areas such as algebra, calculus, statistics, and standardized test preparation. I especially enjoy tutoring calculus and statistics because they blend real-world applications with logical thinking, often sparking those satisfying "aha!" moments for students. My teaching style is patient, interactive, and tailored to each student's needs. I focus on building strong foundational understanding, encouraging questions, and developing problem-solving strategies rather than memorization. I aim to create a learning...

...My name is Alex and I am a recent graduate with my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from Emory University. I have helped tutor before at my college's math and computer science center, and I enjoy working through both math and coding problems with students. My primary languages are Java and Python and I am interested in working in cybersecurity. I am also fluent in SQL, R, and Assembly, and I am proficient in C....

...Purdue University. I worked on many math-intensive applications as a software engineer. I have over 5000 hours experience in online tutoring on different platforms. My computer science tutoring experience includes computer programming (C++/C/Java/Python) as well as data structures, algorithms, operating systems, and theory of computation. My tutoring approach is that I look for gaps in a student's understanding. Then we focus on plugging those gaps. I believe that even the most complex topics can be...

...students for SAT II, GRE, medical, and industry tests. I study problems from Kaplan's books and "Dummies' Guides". My students and I discuss conceptual lab design questions, some from magazines and news videos. We try computer simulations. I can help with any phase of your college/graduate application, especially research and recommendation letters.

...way both to learn and to teach. Through my major, I've had the opportunity to integrate math, physics, chemistry, and biology in the context of medical innovation. As such, I've developed an understanding of real-world applications of and connections between the subjects we study in school, and I'm enthusiastic about communicating that understanding with others. I'm also involved with a variety of student publications on campus, including the student-run medical journal, and I'm an avid...

As a master's student and former medical student, I know how challenging academics can be. I also know how having a helping hand, a guidance through the confusion, can help one gain confidence in themselves to excel. From tutoring children to post-graduates, I have seen that all students (no matter their age, level of education, strengths, weaknesses, etc.) who are willing to learn can succeed. ... In a typical first session, the student and I usually...

...personalized and adaptable to each student's unique needs. I aim to create a supportive, encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring new concepts. I strive to make lessons engaging by using real-world examples and interactive tools that help students connect with the material. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy staying active, experimenting with new recipes (especially healthy ones), and reading literature that enriches my understanding of the world. I'm excited to bring my...

...also in the field of education until I left to start my Masters in the fall of 2012. When a student realizes that they truly understand a concept (not just how to do it, but WHY it's done that way) is the greatest moment for a tutor and I consider myself lucky that I can continue to tutor while working on my degree. My favorite subject to tutor is Statistics, although I'm available for other...
