Award-Winning Linear Algebra Tutors serving Quincy, MA

...me with strong backgrounds in a diverse set of topics in biology, chemistry, and mathematics. My experience as a Supplemental Instructor for Organic Chemistry II during college shaped my educational philosophy of cultivating individual relationships with my students to foster a supportive learning environment, empowering them to explore material from various perspectives. I believe that learning occurs most effectively when students are gently pushed past the limits of their current understanding, enabling them to synthesize...

My name is Neil, but my friends call me Nemo. I am passionate about learning and exploring mathematics, and helping others learn all of the things that I have come to know and understand about the field.

...range of subjects (social sciences, natural sciences, english, math) and have tutored in secondary, elementary, and early learning settings (especially in mathematics). I also have several years of experience working with children. I believe any academic concept can be taught to any student, as long as it is visualized in the way that reaches the student the best. I place a lot of importance on visual learning, diagrams, and analogies. Other than biology, I have...

...rewarding. In my approach to tutoring, I try to constantly respond to feedback from my students. If the way I am explaining something isn't clicking, I try to come at it from a different angle. I believe everyone can excel in mathematics, and through tutoring I hope to help as many students as I can reach their educational goals. Outside of academic interests, I love cooking, reading about politics, and watching horror movies!

...math and science to students at all levels, from middle school to graduate students, with a focus on universally accessible, engaging presentations. If students are bored or confused it means I'm not doing my job, so I try to foster a conversational teaching style. My background - undergrad: applied physics at Cornell University, PhD: theoretical physics at MIT, postdoc: research scientist at University of Colorado Boulder - has given me insight into tricks and shortcuts...

...Technology. Since my second undergraduate year, I've been teaching math, physics, and engineering to students of all ages, as well as Hebrew and Russian. I also have two years of experience teaching undergraduate courses at my alma mater. I'm especially passionate about making math and physics approachable and engaging, helping students overcome fear and discover the creativity in these subjects. I also love teaching languages, as it empowers students to connect across cultures and express themselves...

...major in mathematics and Italian Studies, as well as a minor in physics. I peer tutored in all four years of high school in various levels of mathematics, biology, and Latin. Now, at my college I am a Learning Assistant for undergraduate multivariable calculus students and elementary Italian students. I have the most fun leading small group study sessions before exams, where we fine-tune the skills and study habits necessary to succeed on upcoming assessments.

...the time I used to study for these tests I did not have the benefit of a teacher or tutor's guidance, which is why I am extremely happy and grateful to help students obtain the scores that will ultimately allow them to get into their dream schools. I am currently a rising sophomore at Boston College majoring in Math and Economics, where I am also a tutor for Linear Algebra (one of my favorite classes)...

Let's learn together!

...years of college as a tutor, study group leader and teaching assistant. My professional life was 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...

...and concert-goer. When Im not re-reading my favorite Shakespeare play or watching the latest comic book movie, I can usually be found jumping up and down at a rock concert somewhere in the Boston area. Music has been an incredible influence upon my life, allowing me to connect with friends and strangers alike through the art of others. Im also a passionate animal lover, and I volunteer weekly to clean and (mostly) play with cats...

...didn't suit my needs. I was lucky to have met some great teachers who motivated me along the way. I have always loved math and physics but didn't have the opportunity to study them in detail, until college. I graduated with a bachelor of science in physics degree from Northeastern University. I am currently a researcher and hope to get my PhD in physics. I tutor math and physics; my favorite subject to teach is...

Recent Yale graduate with a simultaneous B.S./M.S. in Mathematics. I have been coaching and tutoring students for years. Throughout high school I volunteered as a Mathcounts coach at my local middle school. I also worked as a counselor at the Ross Mathematics Program. I love math and science and hope to inspire the same in my students regardless of their level.

...been working for over 8 years in education, most recently as a Teaching Assistant in a psychology/neurology class of 140+ freshmen. I have worked at school and camp programs with children of all ages. I first started tutoring juniors and seniors as a freshman in high school when Marblehead High School allowed me into the upperclassmen's Western Philosophy class; since then, I have tutored all major subjects and tests, as well as several specialties, from...

...focus on areas of difficulty as they appeared. My skills, experiences, and belief that every student should be approached as an intelligent individual with their own motivation, entry point into a subject, and areas of strength and weakness inform my teaching style. I believe strongly in approaching students based on how they will best learn, whether that means finding a new way to explain, better examples or applications of information, or a wider array of...

...me that strong foundations in math and science unlock doors in nearly every field. I've honed those foundations myself and I bring the same proven strategies and disciplined study habits to every session. I tutor a range of subjects (math through calculus, physics, and test prep for the PSAT/SAT), but I'm especially fond of algebra and physics because they teach logical problem-solving and quantitative reasoning skills that students carry with them for life. My teaching...

...I am interested in community engagement and outreach, and in the past I have volunteered with many organizations that focused on teaching and tutoring children. I was a peer tutor for three years during high school in the subjects math, latin, and science, and I tutored middle school children in various subjects for two years during high school as well. Thank you for reading, and I look forward to working with you!

...Programming, or other related topics. My philosophy of teaching is that a student should never be punished or shamed for asking a question, and moreover that my time is best spent on students who are struggling with the topic at hand - students who already "get it" don't really need my help, after all. In my spare time, I have generic nerd hobbies, i.e. videogames, reading, etc. Besides that, I attend a rock climbing gym...

...after school. I am a graduate of Saint Michael's College where I received my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and participated in the Education Program. I am a licensed education for grades 5-12 in Vermont and Massachusetts. Since college, I have taught in various states including Vermont, Hawaii, and Massachusetts. In my experience, I have found that the key to helping struggling math students is to build confidence and get to know the individuals needs...

...Institute of Technology. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Smith College with a degree in Chemistry and minor in Biology. I am extremely passionate about both science and education and have been tutoring for over five years. I enjoy tutoring high school and undergraduate students in mathematics, chemistry, biochemistry, biology, and physics. I believe math and science don't have to be hard when explained well! I can also tutor in Spanish if needed.
