Alyssa

ACT Science Tutor • +26 Subjects

I'm a current senior at Harvard University earning a double major in Environmental Science and Public Policy and Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality. During my time at Harvard, I've done a wide variety of education-related work. I've taught my own self-designed course on Feminism, Intersectionality, and Queer Theory to high school students in both the US and Vietnam, and I currently design and lead customized inclusivity trainings with Harvard's Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.I also have extensive experience as a mentor. I have advised ten first-year students each year for the past two years through Harvard's official peer advising program. I helped design, lead, and institutionalize FYRE, Harvard's first pre-orientation program for first-generation, low-income, and underrepresented students. As part of FYRE's leadership, I mentored another ten students directly and served as an advocate for all 100 students in the program.I am well-qualified to teach a wide variety of subjects due to the interdisciplinary nature of Harvard's education generally and of each of my majors specifically. For example, Environmental Science & Public Policy majors are required not only to take classes on earth and climate science, but also on economics, biochemistry, calculus, and social sciences. I spent a year on the pre-med track, so I'm well-versed in hard sciences. I also spent two years on the Spanish Language Citation track and studied abroad in Costa Rica, so I'm comfortable speaking, reading, and writing in Spanish. In high school, I took many honors and AP courses on literature and history and have continued to take such diverse coursework at Harvard, experiences which make me an apt tutor in the humanities.My current academic project is my senior thesis, which will examine the impacts of different farming techniques on small-scale farmers in Latin America. In my free time, I am a writer, a studio artist, a dancer, and an avid foodie.

Emma

College English Tutor • +18 Subjects

I am a recent graduate from the University of California, Berkeley. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Comparative Literature. My focus was English and Russian Language and Literature. While at Berkeley I began tutoring ESL students in English grammar and essay writing. Since graduation I completed my TEFL certification and worked as an English teacher in Hong Kong. In Hong Kong I became familiar with the SSAT, and tutored several students of different levels. I have worked with students of all different ages and learning levels, and my goal has been to help them communicate themselves in written and spoken English. This has included teaching them academic, creative, and personal writing. The ability to write in a clear and engaging style is crucial to any student's success, even if the last creative essay they write is their personal statement for a college application. So few schools teach this skill, and even fewer teachers have the time to give students the individual attention that they need. I enjoy working with students who are learning to express themselves through writing, whether they need help with English grammar, literature analysis, or personal style.

Drew

Algebra Tutor • +34 Subjects

I began my tutoring career as a chemistry teaching assistant while obtaining my undergraduate degree in biochemistry at Augusta University. During my time as an undergrad, I focused intently on organic chemistry with an emphasis on pharmacology. It was during this time that I also conducted research in medicinal chemistry at Georgia State University.After completing my undergraduate coursework, I moved to Hawaii to study acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. While I was working on my master's degree I worked as an instructor for pharmacy technicians and medical assistants at Heald College and Hawaii Medical College.Working as an instructor while attending classes taught me how valuable a student's time is and showed me how difficult balancing work, school, and family can be. I feel that this experience has helped me to connect with my students by showing me how to identify and remove learning barriers to ensure success.Currently, I am residing in Arizona in the next phase of my academic journey. Looking back, I never would have thought that my path would have taken the course that it has but the goal has always been the same medical school. Now with my academic finish-line in sight, I am here to help students achieve their goals, realize their true potential, and overcome their fears. My time as an instructor has helped me to demystify the learning process and as a life-long learner I have picked up more than a few tricks along the way.Whenever possible I try to break down lessons into their core concepts to form a strong foundation for future progress utilizing repetition, mnemonics, and productive study habits. I want to give my students the tools they need to succeed so that they can find their way and achieve their best life.When I am not consumed by my coursework, I like to hang out with my partner and our dogs, eat good food, go hiking, camping, and make trips to the beach. If the weather is bad, I'll find a good show to stream or play video games.Currently, my favorite courses are anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry. I am basically a science nerd and I enjoy sharing my love of learning with others. Even if it has been several years since I have seen the material, I enjoy the thrill of relearning something I have forgotten as a team. After all, the learning never stops, and there is always something to be discovered if you dig a littler deeper.

Tony

Biology Tutor • +22 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.In terms of tutoring style, I like use examples and explanations, practice problems, short-term and long-term scheduling, and positive feedback to achieve results with my students. I find real-world examples are often useful in explaining difficult concepts and restoring interest in a subject. At times I too struggled with science and know how important it is to stay motivated in order to succeed.In my spare time, I enjoy volunteering, listening to and performing music (jazz and classical/choral), swimming, and hip-hop dance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Network science combines abstract mathematical concepts with real-world applications, which can make it challenging for many students. Common difficulties include understanding graph theory fundamentals (nodes, edges, and connectivity), grasping how to model complex systems as networks, and applying algorithms to solve practical problems. Additionally, students often struggle with the computational and programming aspects required to analyze networks using tools like Python or specialized software.

Personalized tutoring helps break down these concepts into manageable pieces, allowing tutors to identify exactly where confusion occurs and provide targeted explanations tailored to your learning style.

In a classroom setting, instructors must move at a pace that works for the average student, which means struggling concepts may be rushed while familiar material receives unnecessary review. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, tutors adapt their approach in real time based on your understanding, spending more time on challenging topics like centrality measures or community detection while moving quickly through concepts you've mastered.

Tutors can also customize examples to match your interests—whether that's analyzing social networks, biological systems, or transportation networks—making the material more relevant and engaging to you.

A solid foundation in discrete mathematics, linear algebra, and basic programming is essential for network science. You should be comfortable with concepts like graph basics, matrix operations, and at least one programming language (Python is most common). Depending on your focus, you may also need understanding of probability and statistics.

If you're missing any of these prerequisites, a tutor can help you fill those gaps efficiently before diving into more advanced network science topics, ensuring you build a strong foundation for success.

An effective network science tutor should have strong expertise in both the theoretical foundations (graph theory, algorithms, statistical properties) and practical implementation using tools like Python, NetworkX, or similar libraries. They should be able to explain abstract concepts clearly and connect theory to real-world applications so you understand why these ideas matter.

Beyond expertise, the best tutors are patient and adaptable—they can recognize when you're confused and approach the problem from a different angle. Look for someone who can work with your specific curriculum or learning goals, whether you're preparing for an exam, working on a research project, or building practical skills.

With focused tutoring, most students see measurable improvements in their ability to understand and apply network science concepts. You can expect to gain confidence in working with graph representations, calculating network metrics (degree, betweenness centrality, clustering coefficient), implementing algorithms, and solving problems that require modeling complex systems as networks.

Beyond grades or test scores, students typically develop a deeper conceptual understanding that allows them to see networks in real-world contexts—from social media to disease spread to supply chains. This foundation prepares you for advanced coursework, research opportunities, or careers in data science, computer science, or related fields.

Tutors can help you develop a targeted study strategy by identifying which topics from your curriculum are most likely to appear on exams or be central to your project. They can walk you through worked examples, help you practice problem-solving under timed conditions, and review your approach to ensure you're thinking about problems correctly rather than just memorizing solutions.

For projects, tutors can guide you in designing appropriate network models, choosing the right analysis techniques, and interpreting your results meaningfully. Regular practice combined with personalized feedback significantly improves both your understanding and your performance on assessments.

Yes—many network science tutors excel at connecting theory with practical implementation. They can help you understand the mathematical principles behind algorithms while also teaching you how to implement them using Python, R, or other tools. This dual expertise is valuable because network science is rarely taught in isolation from its applications.

Whether you're working on understanding spectral clustering theory, debugging your code for network analysis, or completing a research project, a tutor with both theoretical and practical experience can provide comprehensive support tailored to your needs.
