Award-Winning Literature Tutors serving Brookline, MA

...with an Italian minor. I love reading, writing, editing, and pretty much anything "English-esque". I have had a love for reading, writing, and language for as long as I can remember, and that passion has only grown stronger as I have gotten older. Through studying English and literature in college, I have also grown to appreciate all the new challenges and complexities that English encompasses. Though the papers are much longer and the readings much...

...addition to my experience at Hamilton, I spent a summer teaching science to 4th and 5th graders with Exploration Summer Programs and a Summer teaching chemistry to 8th graders with Breakthrough Collaborative. In both of these programs I developed my own curriculum and planned all of the lessons. I learned how to explain concepts in an engaging and clear manner to a wide age range of students. While my traditional experience focused on the sciences,...

...style is very focused, fun, and relaxed. I believe students do best when in a calm, encouraging atmosphere. I never stray from the task at hand, but I do introduce a certain level of silliness and play in my teaching. I think this makes a student more open to learning and more available to growth in a subject. My theater background has helped me learn a variety of memorization techniques that I look forward to...

Phillips Academy Andover and Stanford University Graduate.

I am currently a second year MA student at Boston College in philosophy! I have tutored for over 3 years at the collegiate level.

...a former physics and mathematics student from the University of Rhode Island. There, I discovered the teachings of renowned physicist Richard Feynman which, compressed, might read: "if you really understand something, then you can explain it to your grandmother." I spend a lot of my free time reading and writing, and am currently working my way through Dubliners, a series of stories by James Joyce. I also play guitar and know upwards of several hundred songs.

...students. I have years of experience in mentoring and tutoring students from a variety of different backgrounds. From volunteering my time tutoring immigrants in Providence working towards United States citizenship, to fine-tuning essays with gifted students seeking enrollment in prestigious science fairs, I'm reminded of the unique qualities that people have to offer every day. While my favorite subjects to tutor are Literature and Writing, I find that any topic that I can help a...

...whenever I can. I am a very outgoing and friendly person, which translates well to working with students. I do my best to understand where the student is coming from and work from there. Currently, I am a student at Northeastern University, but I also work with people with disabilities in a marketing setting. I can tutor Math, Science and English, and I would love to help you anyway that I can!

...and study skills and organization, because each of these areas boosts overall academic success and builds a student's self-confidence. In any subject, I focus on study skills, critical thinking, and independent concept reinforcement so that soon the student will no longer need me to excel. Some of my own favorite subjects to study include languages (I've studied Arabic, Spanish, Latin, and a sprinkling of Japanese), medieval history, and electrical engineering. When I'm not tutoring, I...

...Public School system for two years, before earning a Master of Social Work from Boston College. I am currently a first year law student at Northeastern University School of Law. While teaching I worked with special education students who experienced a number of different learning challenges. Although I taught 7th grade math, I most enjoy tutoring in reading and writing. I love helping students learn to express themselves more thoroughly through language. Outside of academia...

...the SATs. My tutoring style tends to be a combination of challenging the student to work hard on their skills, along with plenty of encouragement. My goal is to show students how much they can do on their own, even when they feel it is a subject that they are "bad at", by working together to solidify their understanding of the subject and teach them helpful skills and tricks. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy yoga,...

...Baccalaureate (IB) program, with particular success in European History and World Literature. I feel comfortable teaching a majority of high school subjects, but my favorite subject to tutor is Test Prep, particularly the SAT and LSAT. I enjoy introducing students to the exams and preparing them for success on test day. I think becoming familiar with the form and content of the test can make all the difference! I also enjoy teaching study skills so...

...writer and a graduate student at the number one low-residency MFA program in the country, Vermont College of Fine Arts. I study poetry and translation (Spanish, Russian, and German). The translation component requires me to translate poems from their native language into English. The MFA itself is a rigorous program that focuses on intense reading and writing. The MFA degree is the terminal degree for the fine arts field. I am also a Professor of...

...My name is Chelsea and I am currently an 8th grade ELA/SS teacher at a fantastic charter school in Boston. I am certified K-8 for ELA and K-12 Special Edu. I am looking for an opportunity to help students in the area excel in ELA subject areas, reading, phonics, writing, spelling, vocab, semantics, all other areas of ELA, or even just homework help. I am a very fun, happy, responsible person who loves my job...

I strongly believe in preparing for success, so I will do my very best to make sure that our tutoring sessions set you up...

...Brazil, Argentina, Greece, Turkey, and more. Last year, I served with City Year: a not-for-profit organization aimed at lowering the high school dropout rate through interventions to improve academics, behavior, and attendance. I worked in an English classroom teaching high school freshmen while tutoring Algebra and Geometry everyday after school. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, Algebra, and History. I am a firm proponent of equal...

...as a middle and high school Latin teacher at both a private school in Wilmington, DE, as well as at a charter school outside Boston. While I am able to tutor in subjects throughout the humanities, my passions are Latin and English/writing. As far as my pedagogy, I have learned over the past two years, that students are most successful when I act as a catalyst in the space of their learning - rather than...

...to students of all ages. With experience teaching at the K-12 level, counseling college students, and working directly with international students in the college admissions process, the breadth and depth of my education-related professional training will allow me to support any student's learning journey. I obtained my master's degree in education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, specializing in higher education administration, and my bachelor's degree from Boston University, where I studied sociology and...
