Award-Winning Math Tutors in Brockton, MA

...expanding one's toolbox is the most important way to tackle unforeseen problems. The biggest challenge I find students have is bridging the gap between what they already know and what is expected on an exam. Sometimes students get discouraged after studying for a long time with little results on their grades. This is understandably frustrating and is often times not a measure of deficiency in knowledge but an incorrect application of test preparation. Therefore, I...

...I have had to spend a lot of time thinking about how to differentiate for the varying needs of my students. I have been fortunate enough to have worked with all types of students — special education, ELLs, socio-emotional issues, students with large gaps in education, and more. Working with students one on one makes it easier to isolate and target for interventions and specially designed curriculum needs. I am looking forward to figuring out...

...While in college, I directed an afterschool SAT prep program, tutored high school students in Algebra II and college students in Intergral Calculus, and spent two summers working as a teaching intern at a summer school. I plan to pursue teaching certification for high school math. I am patient, flexible, and enjoy discovering which approaches work most effectively for each individual I work with. Every student is different, and as a result, every student learns...

...College. I hope to concentrate on creative writing, so naturally it is my favorite subject to tutor. In assisting students with writing at Boston Latin, I have found that some students have a natural turn for writing essays and need little more than encouragement and editing. With most students, however, writing is not a skill they can effortlessly pick up, and creativity is not instantly fluid. Bearing that in mind, I use a Socratic method...

...my Bachelor of Arts summa cum laude in Biology with minors in Jazz studies and Philosophy. I have been tutoring students in an unofficial capacity since high school. When I became an undergraduate I wanted to continue to help students, so I started a tutoring program for underclassmen who were struggling in their science courses. Outside of this, I volunteered my time to help students who were struggling in the upper level courses I was...

...and pushing myself to be a better person. Coupled with my love of learning has always been a deep regard for teaching. While a student at Hamilton College, I was selected by professor recommendation to work as a tutor at the Quantitative Literacy Center, a job I held for three years. At Hamilton I practiced the ability to listen to my tutee, and then to assist my tutee in breaking down complex logical problems into...

...Health in the department of Social and Behavioral Sciences. Before this, I graduated from UC Berkeley in Northern California with a Bachelors Degree in Psychology and then worked for two years in San Francisco in public health and psychiatric research.

I volunteered as a mentor in college to local elementary school kids,...

My name is Clea, and I am a senior at Wellesley College, majoring in Cinema and Media Studies with Minors in Mathematics and Music. I am passionate about a variety of academic subjects and the art of pedagogy. I enjoy working with students of all ages and developing connections that inspire a unique love of learning.... Every student learns differently, and we need to create a personal connection to understand the best way to communicate.

...types of questions. This ability meant that I was often given students with various learning disabilities, since they knew I could make it work for those students. I believe that learning should be fun and that engaging the student is the best way to get them excited about a subject. In my spare time I am a voracious reader, spend a lot of time with my children and am involved in my synagogue.... I generally start by asking them questions about their likes, dislikes, learning style/preferences, and what they see as their goals. I also go over general information about the subject/test, even if they have already taken the test before.
