Award-Winning Middle School Math Tutors for Students in Newton, MA

Hello! I'm Vanessa. I'm a Northeastern undergraduate, studying computer science and math. I really enjoy teaching math and Spanish, so feel free to reach out if you want some light tutoring on those subjects. Thanks!

...University during undergrad and Tufts University for my masters. After much thought, I deviated from a medical school track to pursue a career in the medical device industry. My love for math and science started around middle school, and I was strongly influenced by my teachers. Through tutoring, I hope to be a similar influence. I really enjoy working with students of all ages (elementary to grads!) In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, hiking,...

...sailing, and watching over the top action movies. I do not want to give you the right answers; I want teach you how to find the right answers yourself. That means I will be patient and help you understand the fundamentals of the subject matter. I understand that preparing for a test like the ACT might seem hard, but I want to show you that you have what it takes to conquer the exam.

I am a PhD in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics and Material Science. I have good research experience working with types of advanced material and instruments. I have good teaching experience and have been teaching for more than 10 years. I love to teach and feel happy when my students get a bright future.

...the numbers and equations. I focus on helping students develop problem solving skills that can not only be applied to a specific test or homework assignment, but also to any future assignments that build on that material. I currently work as an Ocean Engineer in the New York area, and enjoy the opportunity to spend time working on the ocean. I also spend as much time as I can cycling in the summers and skiing in...

...to working on academic papers, I have helped many friends from home with their college essays. I worked through seventeen drafts of my own when applying, and have compiled the pieces of advice given from those who helped me write mine to formulate the best approach to college essay writing. Social Studies has always been my favorite subject, and that translates into my work as a tutor. I have taught CIVICS classes to elementary and...

...I have been tutoring students since I was in high school myself in a variety of subjects including Math, Latin, and Writing. I like to focus on any questions the student may have with the material and working on some examples before moving on to work on any assignments. My favorite subject to tutor is math because there is usually a simple way to explain a concept that clears away any confusion. In math, there...

...I even was involved in picking the new Algebra 2 Text Books for the school. As such I bring a unique look behind the curtain of high school education to my tutoring work. Through this program, I tutored Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, and Trigonometry for four years. I then went on to teach of all of the same at my high school's summer school program for three years. From there I attended and...

...this joy in learning. I know science and math can be really tough, and many times I have wanted to give up, but I pushed through, and I want to give other students the encouragement and ability to push through as well. My teaching philosophy is focused on the quality of learning, and to practice, practice, practice! My favorite element is silicon, and in my free time I like to dance ballet, practice yoga, play...

Hi! I'm Taylor, I just graduated from Bryant University with a degree in Applied Mathematics and Statistics with concentrations in Applied Analytics and Information Systems. Next school year, I will start my middle school teaching career! I have been on this platform for over a year now, and my areas of expertise are Algebra, Geometry, and for computer programming, SAS, SQL, and Tableau. I look forward to tutoring you!

I truly enjoy teaching and helping children reach their maximum potential in all subject areas. Learning should promote children's self-esteem and I always look to find ways to engage my students in order to inspire them to be life long learners. By differentiating my instruction, I am able to help students progress towards the standards in which they are working to achieve.

...currently working towards my Masters in physics at Brown University. While I was in college, I worked as a teacher's assistant in various math and physics classes, including Calculus I, Calculus II, and the introductory physics sequence. While tutoring, I feel it's important that students are comfortable with their tutor, so I do my best to foster a friendly and relaxed environment. In my free time, I like to grab coffee with my friends and...

...received a bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Stonehill College, and I want to use the knowledge I gained from my experience to help students learn and grow. I tutor algebra, calculus, statistics and geometry, among other math related subjects. In my experience, the most effective way to approach tutoring is with patience. I think school curricula can put a lot of pressure on students to absorb new information very quickly. This pressure can be counterproductive,...

...student can master anything they want. As a tutor, I have a passion for helping students overcome initial mental hurdles and progress. This requires having some fun with the material as a motive for practice, and with practice comes confidence. At Carleton College, where I received a B.A in Mathematics, I tutored students in Math, led introductory Spanish classes as a TA, and taught Rock Climbing classes as a hobby. Now, back in my hometown...

...I have tutored students in English, Political Science, US Government and History, Geography, SAT prep, and Italian. I can speak both English and Italian fluently and have limited proficiency in Mandarin. Currently, I work at the UCLA Undergraduate Writing Center, where I help my peers improve their writing skills by assisting them with their essays, research assignments, and personal statements. Given my passion for writing and clear-cut arguments, I hope to attend law school one...

I am a 2014 graduate from Quinnipiac University with a major in Economics and a minor in English. Since graduation, I have worked in management and Human Resources. I have tutored math and English throughout my time at Quinnipiac University and enjoy helping students understand a subject that can appear intimidating. I believe that learning should be fun and I do everything I can to have meaningful tutoring sessions that take the stress out of...

...goals - and tutoring is another great way to do that! I have been tutoring for about six years, working with students ranging from elementary school to college in various STEM subjects. I also worked as a physics TA while I was in undergrad. My passion for tutoring stems from the unique tutor-student relationships that develop as we work together towards personalized goals - every student is different, and I have as much to learn...

...where students are at. No matter what way one is struggling I'd like to be able to help. I think everyone makes mistakes and nobody can be a perfect student. I was lucky enough to make it all the way to Columbia University but I made many mistakes along the way. No one's perfect and I don't expect that from myself or those I teach. I'm very excited and can't wait to help students in...

I have experience tutoring at all levels, and one of my primary focus is to incorporate dialogic discourse into all of my tutoring sessions. This is a special type of teaching philosophy which focuses on allowing students to reach the answers rather than just showing them the right solution. I believe that a combination of dialogic discourse, critical thinking, and interest is necessary to truly understand a subject well.

I am a graduate of UC Berkeley where I majored in Molecular and Cell Biology, with an emphasis in Biochemistry. I am currently a graduate student at the Boston University School of Medicine, studying Biomedical Forensic Sciences. I love working with both younger and more experienced students in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and forensics. I am passionate about helping others achieve their fullest potential, and can cater to various learning styles!
