Award-Winning Linear Algebra Tutors serving Quincy, MA

...concepts have their beginnings in very early concepts. By connecting past lessons with the present skill that a student might be struggling with, hard problems become easy. I am a very patient and encouraging tutor. In a subject like math, where people might have anxiety, it is important to make the math fun and connected to the world around us. In my spare time, I enjoy watching a good movie, sports and spending time with...

...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...

...engineering, science, health, technology/computation, data analysis, AI, economics, and many more areas. I firmly believe that with enough practice students can improve their grades and understanding of math. Math is best understood by doing. Once a concept is explained and demonstrated, students should then try to solve problems to see if they understand the ideas involved or if they need to spend some more time on the material before advancing to the next concept.

...have experience teaching computer literacy and mathematics. I have taught math in public schools and also through the Russian School of Math. I have also taught SAT Mathematics. I love seeing the ties between math and computer programming and using this to bridge student understanding. I like to show the logic behind problems and help students to become more independent thinkers. I look forward to working with you and boosting your math background.

...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 the drumset, and performing martial arts.

...teaching philosophy revolves around optimization and iteration. I am a firm believer that different students learn in different ways. As a tutor, I believe it is my responsibility to develop a process specific to a student's strengths and weaknesses. My academic successes stem from my work ethic and creativity. I bring the same work ethic and creativity when I tutor. My skill set allows me to develop computer programs optimized to a student's learning objectives....

...and volunteer capacity. Building a fundamental understanding of a subject in order to develop the flexibility to solve challenging, out-of-the box problems has always been my favorite 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...

...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...

I am a graduate student from University of Michigan. I am interested in teaching maths to the young youth. I believe that if concepts and basics are clear then a student can solve any difficult problem in life.

...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...

...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...
