Award-Winning Physics Tutors serving Boston, MA

I am a passionate science educator with experience teaching high school students, college students, and adults. I like to teach by building frameworks of understanding with my students, and make sure to treat each case individually.... Every student is different. Instead of covering everything taught in the class, I prefer to focus on problem areas.... I believe that learning is a personal process, and the role of a good teacher or tutor is to facilitate and...

...through Calculus 3 and Differential Equations) as well as ESL and Mandarin Chinese. I especially love helping students learn languages. My strategy for tutoring includes making sure the student understands the fundamentals necessary to tackle the problem, checking to make sure the student understands the concepts behind the problem, and coming up with a plan to practice and retain what the student has learned during the session. I believe anyone can succeed at any subject...

...worked with approximately twenty students outside of my official classes. This taught me to get to know kids' learning styles and difficulties quickly. In my work as a chemistry teacher, chemistry TA, and math CA, I was required to both run study sessions and grade. This taught me to use assignments to assess students' progress as frequently as possible, note general issues and probable flawed methodolgies responsible for mistakes, and tailor my teaching to focus...

...an enthusiastic tutor with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Olin College, I have over two years of experience teaching college-level computer science. My approach centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students can engage in meaningful discussions about STEM subjects. I believe that understanding the "why" behind concepts is crucial, which is why I prioritize explaining underlying principles rather than rote memorization. My passion for teaching stems from my own...

...of the things I find my greatest pleasure in is being able to help others. There are few things as rewarding to me as seeing the "Aha!" moment a student gets during tutoring. That's why I'm here: I'm hoping to help students in need of assistance to soar academically. My specialty is in the STEM field, particularly mathematics. Since math subjects tend to build on each other and remain necessary in the engineering field, most...

...listen and understand what aspect of a concept is difficult for a student, even when the student cannot clearly articulate her own problem. In addition to my experience at Hamilton, I spent a summer teaching science to 4th and 5th graders with Exploration Summer Programs and a Summer teaching chemistry to 8th graders with Breakthrough Collaborative. In both of these programs I developed my own curriculum and planned all of the lessons. I learned how...

...earned my bachelors in Mechanical Engineering from MIT with a minor in Management. At MIT, I was a director and teacher for the Educational Studies Program (ESP), the group that runs MIT Splash, an event where 2000+ high schoolers come to MIT to take classes from MIT students on any subject imaginable. My time in ESP got me addicted to "spreading the joy of teaching and learning". I love my work as a manufacturing consultant...

...recently graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a Master of Science in Civil & Environmental Engineering. Since my undergraduate degree was in environmental sciences (and not engineering), I had to take a lot of extra math courses to get into CMU. While I was taking my prerequisite courses to get into graduate school, I worked part-time as a tutor for Upward Bound. My favorite subjects to tutor are math, physics, chemistry and biology. I firmly...

...is Kevin. I am an undergraduate college freshman at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. I am excited and pleased to be your tutor. As a college student who has graduated from high school, I have experience in basic high school subjects. I know most of the basic math that is taught before Calculus II like geometry, trigonometry, algebra, pre-calculus. I have been educated in all high school sciences like physics, chemistry, and biology. I have...

In high school, I took 8 AP classes with no score lower than a 3. I then went to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where I majored in molecuar and cellular biology with a minor in chemistry. During that time, I also tutored fellow peers and underclassmen in organic chemistry, anatomy...

Hi! My name is Adriana, and I'm an MIT undergrad studying Urban Planning. I loved math in science in school, but know that it can be frustrating and easy to dislike when taught in a way that is difficult to understand, or when it seems useless and pointless to learn. My goal is to get students not only to perform well in these subjects, but to fully comprehend and enjoy them.

...have taught the SAT, SSAT, AP Biology, AP Physics, and AP Chemistry for 2 years. I love teaching students HOW to learn, not just WHAT to learn. I always emphasize hard work - because you always get what you work for. I don't care about natural intelligence, because trying your best and being persistent is the key to learning and improvement. My favorite part of teaching is seeing the student understanding a concept for the...

...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 chemistry and various other topics, whether...

...learned how to adapt to each one. Working with students exposed me to various styles - visual, audio, interactive and many more types of teaching. I find that every student has their own way of incorporating the material, and I want to effectively teach in a way that helps you learn in the method most conducive to your understanding. Currently, I enjoy working with physical and mathematically oriented subjects. Mathematics, coding, physics, chemistry, and biology...

I am a rising sophomore at Michigan (Go Blue!!). I have loved math since before I could remember and am pursuing a major in Computer Science. When I am not coding/math-ing (is that a word?), I love to hang out with friends, work out, and scoop ice cream at my (other) job!

...my name is John, and I am a Science, Math, and Japanese tutor living in Massachusetts. A little bit about me: I have a bachelor's and Master's in Chemistry from Northeastern University. I have been tutoring students since 2005, but regularly since 2009. I have tutored college students in General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry and Japanese since 2009. I have worked with high school students since 2010 with many math courses and topics. Additionally,...

...am a professional life science researcher and graduate of Brandeis University, where I earned both my masters and bachelors in biochemistry. I'm passionate about science, discovery, and teaching, which is why I am pursuing both research and tutoring. I am also an avid reader, writer, and learner. I have over 5 years of experience working with students from the junior high to collegiate level and would love to use my experience and expertise to help...

...a Science Education major at UNC and a Museum Studies: Science Education Master's student at Harvard University, I have learned science and math at a high standard, but, more importantly, have been taught how to frame my knowledge in fun and easy to understand ways. Although I am extremely passionate about all forms of science and math, I have discovered that my true passion is in teaching. I want to not only help my students...

...am a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, from which I received my Masters in Biomedical Engineering.
