Award-Winning Math Tutors in Somerville, MA

...exams. Over the past year alone, I've worked with over 30 students, spending several hours each day to help them stay up to speed on their schoolwork. I specialize in many areas of math as well as computer science, biology and physics. When tutoring students, I draw on my own experience with learning the material to identify and address the obstacles they face. I believe that promoting a deeper level of understanding of the subject,...

...is the subject I have the most experience with (both as a student and as a tutor), I am just as passionate about each new tutoring opportunity I encounter, regardless of which subjects it involves. The process of getting to know a student, figuring out which teaching methods fit best with their unique learning style, and helping them to increase their level of understanding of a subject beyond where it was when we started working...

...As apart of my personal studies I have had to have extensive knowledge of subjects within the sciences such as Anatomy, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. As apart of my training I also was required to take standardized exams such as the MCAT and the medical board certifying STEP exams. I find teaching incredibly rewarding and enjoy getting to know each of my students learning styles and where I can most assist in their mastery of...

...once-difficult subject becomes much more manageable. The other trait that makes me uniquely effective as a tutor is the fact that since I have studied so many different subjects, there is no way that I could have been naturally gifted at all or even most of them. Indeed, I have found many of these subjects daunting and difficult at first, and have had to try all sorts of different learning/studying strategies to better understand them....

I am currently an undergraduate student at Wesleyan University and am majoring in molecular biology and biochemistry. At Wesleyan, I've been a member of the Science Outreach program, where we teach scientific concepts to students at local elementary schools. This experience has been extremely rewarding and has made me interested in helping other students as well.

...external factors like good grades or others’ approval. I believe that when youth and adults alike view school or learning as something to suffer through for a distant goal in the future (a “no pain no gain” mindset), their willpower eventually wears thin in times of stress and hardship. Teaching people to like to learn and succeed in a way that works for them gives them a value that lasts throughout life. I feel that...

...use subject matter directly related to the student's interests. Furthermore, I understand that not everybody learns in the same manner. I excel at auditory learning while many others prefer visual information. I will work with each student in a way that I believe they will be most receptive to. I will help them understand how a word problem relates to a picture or an equation, which is the most vital skill to have in mathematics....

...a double major in Economics and Political Theory from the University of Puget Sound. During college, I tutored high school students for four years. After college, I worked for three years as a college instructor and debate coach at two universities in Washington state. My teaching philosophy is based primarily on my 11 years of debate experience as a competitor and coach. My goal is to find the right way to communicate any concept to...

...publication of a paper I co-authored in the next several months. In the past I have worked with students of a variety of age ranges on standardized test prep, middle school and high school math classes, and college-level biology courses as a volunteer, teaching assistant, and private tutor. I have spent time lecturing, providing homework help, and offering specific testing strategies to different students at different times. I have experience with the majority of science...

Hi! I am an engineering student at Northeastern University who loves helping people out with all subjects. Standardized tests are just a game against the clock that we can improve in so many ways. ... I have two philosophies. 1. Practice makes perfect. 2. There's an angle to everything. I think there is always more than one way to approach a problem, and typically the test tries to make you think you need to take the...
