Award-Winning Physics Tutors serving Boston, MA

...am a third year biology major at the University of 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...

...and mentored high school students attending New Brunswick Health Science Technology within the Rutgers Future Scholar Mentorship program. These experiences shaped my principled and conceptual tutoring style. I believe that conceptual understanding is the most important factor in determining success in a subject. If a student has a conceptual understanding of a subject's foundational principles, they can apply them to many different, and more complex, problems rather than just the ones they have already encountered....

...strongly believe with practice and confidence, a 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...

...graduated with degrees in physics and music at the University of Pittsburgh. While a student at Pitt, I studied abroad in Ankara, Turkey. Studying Turkish language and music was a gateway for me to understand more about everything around me. I want my students to have experiences like that, where learning about something seemingly uninteresting opens unexpected doors to exciting new worlds. After I graduated from Pitt, I went to grad school for ethnomusicology at...

...a former physics and mathematics student from the University of Rhode Island. There, I discovered the teachings of renowned physicist Richard Feynman which, compressed, might read: "if you really understand something, then you can explain it to your grandmother." I spend a lot of my free time reading and writing, and am currently working my way through Dubliners, a series of stories by James Joyce. I also play guitar and know upwards of several hundred songs.

I graduated cum laude from Cornell University and currently work in academia. I love science and learning! As a sciences and history of science double major, I find great value in being able to effectively communicate science topics to non-scientific audiences. Let me help you learn to love learning and studying efficiently :).

...how to learn is not easy, yet it is fundamental to understand how the world works around us. Every student has untapped potential, and in order to reach it, they must embrace and persevere through adversity. Failure, however, is never a setback; it is a step closer to success. When working with students, I refrain from providing direct answers to homework or test questions, for building a foundation for sustainable learning is more important than...

I am a first-year at Yale University studying computer science and economics. Prior to Yale, I graduated from Phillips Academy Andover, where I took a plethora of computer science and math courses. I am extremely passionate and excited about helping other students reach their full academic potential, and look forward to working with you!

As someone who has endured multiple standardized tests and successfully completed high school and college, I understand the importance of tutors.

...I've worked with, but also to watch them grow and develop over time. From writing and history to biology and math, I've had experience creating individualized lesson plans that are uniquely tailored to each student's needs and desires, no matter the grade level. I will be continuing my education at the University of Massachusetts Medical School this coming Fall, but in the meantime, he hopes to expand on his enthusiasm for teaching and education by...

I believe that every student is capable of learning any subject as long as they have the right teacher. I was fortunate enough to grow up in an environment that constantly challenged me and helped me achieve a better education. I hope to be able to pass my knowledge to any child who has the fervor to learn more.

...graduating with my PhD in Nuclear Physics from the University of California, Davis in 2009, I have spent 7 years as a community college physics professor. As a community college graduate myself, I understand the challenges facing students and I am a passionate teacher. I am currently taking a year in Cambridge to complete a Master's degree in the Harvard Graduate School of Education to further improve my skills. As a tutor, physics is my...

I am currently a student at Duke University who is eager to learn and help others. I am interested in community engagement and outreach, and in the past I have volunteered with many organizations that focused on teaching and tutoring children. I was a peer tutor for three years during high school in the subjects math, latin, and science, and I tutored middle school children in various subjects for two years during high school as...

...my name is Sebastian Ugland! I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Business from the University of Michigan, graduating in 2020. I later earned a Master's degree in Computer Science in 2024. This academic journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of programming, mathematical reasoning, and problem-solvingall essential for teaching subjects like Economics, Java, Python, AP Calculus, and graduate-level Statistics. In terms of real-world application, I worked on a project called NeuralAI...

Teaching is my passion. When I am not tutoring for Varsity Tutors, I work in medical research. I love the idea of helping patients feel better and especially kids. If I had to say something about my outlook, it is that I am thankful for what I do, privileged to be part of so many lives, and hopeful that my skills will make a difference.

...am currently a Computer Science major freshmen at MIT. I'm super passionate about math, physics, and computer science and love teaching other people! I think that while math, CS, and physics can certainly be abstract, the practical aspects of such topics can make learning both interesting and fulfilling. I have had a pretty extensive background in teaching/coaching. I have spent 1 year tutoring and teaching, 3 years as both a soccer and orienteering coach, and...

I love to teach math, science and computer programming (specializing in C++). When I'm not teaching, I'm out kiteboarding.

...teaching, and present ideas as visually and tangibly as possible. One of the dangers of learning math is that students memorize the method for solving a problem but do not realize the underlying concepts. I do my best to ensure that students recognize the broader concepts. Because math builds on itself, it is also very important to look at past topics that relate to students’ current lessons. There is not always time for teachers do...

...to do that on your own. Maybe the road ahead seems so daunting that you're afraid to start. Or maybe you've already started down that road only to be overwhelmed by the formidability of the challenge. Whatever the case may be, I'm here for you. I believe that you harbor great potential and am confident that with the right amount of effort and consistency, you will realize the goals you have. Let me help!

...subject to tutor is physics, because that is the subject that originally inspired me to be an engineer. The fact that you can calculate and predict physical phenomena (like how fast a wheel will roll down a ramp or how far a pumpkin will travel when launched at a specific angle and speed) and then alter parameters to achieve a desired result is pretty awesome! To give my brain a break, I love physical activity,...
