Award-Winning Physics Tutors serving Medford, MA

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.

...both a paid and volunteer capacity. Building a fundamental understanding of a subject in order to develop the flexibility to solve challenging, out-of-the box problems has always been my favorite way both to learn and to teach. Through my major, I've had the opportunity to integrate math, physics, chemistry, and biology in the context of medical innovation. As such, I've developed an understanding of real-world applications of and connections between the subjects we study in...

...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 Harvard. Since getting my Ph.D. in 2016, I've been teaching classes on music and culture in...

I'm a Yale graduate two years out of school. I've got both a knack for English and the humanities as well as a quick mind for mathematics and rigorous logical thinking. I'm a writer by trade and regularly publish journalism and fiction in online magazines. In my free time, I dance blues and occasionally pick up a billiard cue.

I have a energetic and fun personality that I bring to tutoring. I make sure the students have a clear understanding of what they are trying to learn but also have fun as well. Students that learn while have fun keeps their interest high.

...college level math and physics. As a University of Michigan student, I studied rigorous theoretical math in a variety of subjects, as well as graduate level physics and applied math. This experience allows me to teach understanding a deeper level for students who are motivated to learn more than just the basics. I am best suited to teach high school level or introductory college level mathematics and physics students, especially in calculus, algebra, mechanics, and...

...my students learn by doing. Whenever possible instead of solving a single problem, I will give my student skills or frameworks to solve many problems. My experience comes from tutoring and teaching for over 10 years while I completed my undergraduate and masters degrees in physics. As much as I enjoyed physics research I enjoyed the challenge of teaching physics more which is why I've chosen a career in teaching science and math.... If a student...

...school students. The subjects I'm best equipped to tutor are: math, at any level up to college-level differential equations, and physics, whether at the high school level or a calculus-based college course. My favorite subject to tutor would probably be calculus. When I took calculus in high school, it was pretty life-changing for me, and so I like to help other students see how amazing it can be! I am a patient, understanding tutor. I...

...build. I love learning and hope to help students find and build on passions for academic subjects that can be so fun to work with. Personally, math has been my favorite subject since elementary school and continues to be a topic that I love. Through the years, academic learning continues to build on itself. I believe that it is important to help students ensure that they have a solid grasp on what they are learning...

...these subjects. Of these, my favorite topics to tutor are Algebra and Chemistry, as they both have discernible patterns within the material which leads to a better understanding as one builds new topics on previous ones. I have found that students have the most success in first reviewing basic concepts to assess and address where they are having difficulty, followed by continuous problem-solving to reinforce the concepts and strategies until they become second nature. Like...

...numerous students in the past, specifically in college-level Biology and Genetics; however, I consider myself to be a well-rounded student and teacher. In addition to Biology, I've helped students master reading, writing, and standardized test preparation skills. I love working collaboratively, and I'm passionate about helping people reach their goals in a way that fits their personalized learning style. I believe solidifying knowledge in a way that complements each student is the key to academic...

...schoolers taking their first steps into the world of computer programming to my own peers struggling with their calculus 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...

...Polytechnic Institute. A lot of my time at school is spent working, and most of that is collaborative work, which I think is the best way to learn. I'd love the opportunity to help people out, and create a genuine, peer to peer working environment rather than a teacher-student type one, which is just less fun and a lot harder to learn in. This has always been how I've learned best and I hope that...

My name is Jill, and I graduated with a BA in Physics from Grinnell College. I've been a tutor and mentor for more than four years, and love teaching science and math in ways that empower students to be critical thinkers and creative problem-solvers.

...physics, biology, and statistics. My teaching style targets each unique student's learning style and way of analyzing. That is my first targeted observation before I can truly begin tutoring with any true impact. I have spent the last two years out of school managing an organic farm and directing product and systems design for a farm-tech startup out of Boston. I am now working on some personal projects that I dream of one day becoming...

...New York, where I practiced to speak English fluently. It is amazing to hear people speaking in different languages. I also learned Japanese and German in the university. I owned my first computer the last year of my undergrad. Since then I love to use it very much including playing games on it. When I studied in Brooklyn college I picked some computer courses besides my major. I am so appreciated the requirements in my...

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 :).

...to score very high marks. I am always excited when a student finally 'get its' and declares that they now can see how all of these seemingly separate scientific topics are actually all related. My goal in providing tutorial is not just to get through the student's materials, but to motivate the student about the learning process as a whole and provide career guidance, good organizational skills and help the student develop good learning ethics...

I am a Mechanical Engineering PhD student, with background in Engineering Design, Nano-materials and Nanotechnology and Energy. I good understanding of Sciences [ Maths, physics, and some chemistry]. I love to teach and I really want to help you understand that concept that seems difficult for you.

...didn't suit my needs. I was lucky to have met some great teachers who motivated me along the way. I have always loved math and physics but didn't have the opportunity to study them in detail, until college. I graduated with a bachelor of science in physics degree from Northeastern University. I am currently a researcher and hope to get my PhD in physics. I tutor math and physics; my favorite subject to teach is...
