Award-Winning Math Tutors for Students in Massachusetts

...track (such as physics and general chemistry). I have been able to share this passion with other students as a Teaching Assistant and as a drop-in tutor for the Biology, Chemistry, and Spanish departments. I have found great pleasure in not only helping them understand the subject but also in forming personal connections with them, making the tutoring process more enjoyable for everybody involved. I look to tutor students taking biology courses at a high...

...Massachusetts Amherst, with a strong background in math at all levels. Along with my biology degree, I am also studying for two minors in psychology and mathematics. I have experience as a tutor, both freelance for a year with several students and working through a school as a math tutor and SAT prep tutor for three years. In my free time, I enjoy skiing, the ocean, and playing guitar and piano.

...It is fascinating to see how complex phenomena in life can be reduced down to a single equation, and I wish to impart that same view to my students. Coming from such a background I know just how important it is to understand the basics before moving forward. This is especially true in math and the sciences, and it is essential to build upon previous lessons to truly learn. In this way, the lessons I...

...Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education. My teaching experience includes 7 years teaching in brick and mortar schools, 4 years teaching homeschool, and 4 years teaching on-line. I enjoy teaching early childhood and elementary aged students in any subject area, but my favorites are math and grammar. I also enjoy ESL. When teaching, I usually follow the "I do, we do, you do" approach (I show student how to use concept, we work on using...

...essential to a successful education. As a tutor I focus on presenting material in a number of ways to accommodate all learning styles and making material relevant to the student. Helping students overcome the anxieties that so often accompany learning Math at the earliest and most crucial stages means helping students think about the material in a way that is meaningful to them and teaching them to relate Math to their own lives and interests...

...8. My teaching is centered around creating connections between content and themes, as well as connections to the students' personal lives, current events, and other content knowledge or media. Learning, especially learning social studies, is most accessible to the student when it becomes relevant. I will work with you to find a door into whatever you are learning - whether it is geometry, history, anatomy, geography, essay writing, or any other discipline.

...with a B.S. in Management and Philosophy with academic and military honors from the United States Air Force Academy in 2024. I have been a private and volunteer tutor since 2017.

As a tutor, I hope to answer students' questions, help them appreciate their academic interests even...

...my undergraduate years at Suffolk University. Through this position, I advised students and coworkers as both a tutor and tutor mentor. I have greatly cherished my time as a tutor because it not only contributed to my growth as a scholar but allowed me to give back to the community by helping my peers succeed. My tutoring philosophy revolves around the students, not the assignments they bring. I believe that a tutor's job is to...

...beneficial for me (with reinforcing my knowledge, learning a topic I'm unfamiliar, and/or improving my teaching abilities). One of my goals as a tutor for Varsity Tutors is to teach subjects I'm passionate about, such as chemistry, to students who are interested in the topic but need some extra help. I have had wonderful tutors in the past help me in various subjects and believe I'm now at a point to help others better understand...

...University. I then received my Master in Education in Curriculum and Teaching in Mathematics from the Wheelock College of Education and Human Development at Boston University. I am incredibly passionate about providing my students with a meaningful education experience. I have spent 3 years in the classroom where my primary role has been teaching 8th-grade math. I have also spent 2 of those years teaching 9th-grade algebra. Additionally, I have spent some time teaching 7th-grade...

...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 my...

...with the concept, I am always trying to at least look over some notes and figure things out on my own to help out as much as I can. My main goal for tutoring, is to provide people with more than one way of explaining a single problem. I want to make sure that I am able to make sense with my words and make it easier for the person I'm talking to to understand...

...Since then, I've been teaching high school mathematics, although I'm passionate about a broad range of other subjects as well. I've never had the opportunity to tutor professionally before joining Varsity Tutors, but I'm excited to help students meet their education goals and spark their curiosity for learning. I love to be creative in everything I do, which shines through in my work, both professionally and in my personal creative endeavors and passion projects.

...throughout the school. My experiences as a para range from assisting the kindergarten teacher with classroom management to leading full class instruction if she is unavailable. I have also taken a role as an in home tutor for a student at the Carlton who has a medical condition which requires him to be hospitalized for three days each month. I have worked with him weekly since he was in the third grade, and he is...

...and methods. For example, I worked as a teaching assistant and tutor for undergraduate chemistry courses while obtaining a degree in electrical engineering. I worked as a private tutor for high school mathematics, history, and English to help students in both individual or group settings. Finally, I co-founded a Mathematics enrichment program "MathMatters!", where I developed and taught a curriculum of creative discrete math lessons/activities. Many of the subjects I tutor are subjects I greatly...

...in the past, and my most recent experience was as an English tutor for a Japanese researcher. I have a fondness for foreign languages, and offer tutoring services for Japanese, as it is a language that is nigh impossible to master alone. As someone who has learned foreign languages through self-study and under the guidance of teachers, I recognize the importance of having access to fluent speakers. I want to enrich your Japanese learning experience...

...organization called Emory READS. In addition, I taught a Health course, which is mandatory for first-year students at Emory. I am passionate about the math and sciences as well as the field of education. I am currently working as a medical scribe at a family practice and aspire to become a doctor. In my experience, it can be a fun finding new ways to approach difficult concepts! In my free time, I enjoy dancing, practicing...

I believe that people can learn anything if they work hard enough and have a good teacher. Relating subjects to a student's interests allows the student to be fully engaged and want to learn the material. From there, you can teach the student how to critically think through a problem so they can solve any problem or learn any material that comes their way.

...learning English. I look forward to opportunities to spend some additional time with younger learners as they do not have as much interference from their first languages, and their youth allows them to absorb new words and linguistic structures more easily. In addition to many years teaching, I have also had significant roles administering ESL programs and working in higher education administration (the fiscal and HR areas as well as student support services) at Boston...
