Award-Winning Physics Tutors serving Medford, MA

...have been working with students at all levels on several topics for over a decade. I have a B.S. in physics, and a master's in Nuclear Science and Engineering from WPI. I completed my second master's in particle astrophysics at the university of Strasbourg in France. I love getting students excited about learning and helping them through difficult topics. One of my favorite challenges is working with students to figure out their specific learning styles...

...to read, work on visual art, and play instruments. I am most passionate about math though, because it can be related to any subject, and because the skills that are developed through mathematical thinking can help create success in other areas. I try to use multiple approaches while 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...

I'm currently studying computer science at Northeastern University. I have a full year of experience tutoring high school students outside Varsity Tutors. Working with students is rewarding because there is nothing better than helping someone else understand a difficult concept. We've all had those "aha!" moments, and it feels great to guide someone towards finding that.

As a tutor in test prep (SAT/ACT/SSAT/AP), I aim to help my students learn subject matter solidly enough to teach it themselves. I have four years of experience in online tutoring through the Russian School of Mathematics. My VA research, 1st placement in MA Science Olympiad, and perfect AP scores in Calc BC, Eng Lang, Chem, and Bio give me the expertise to transform your student into an academic weapon.

...where the wind takes me! Ive been tutoring with Varsity Tutors for almost a year and have loved meeting students from all over Boston and helping them with SAT preparation or science class. Its a very rewarding feeling when students achieve their goals because of your help. This feeling, and the growth of confidence Ive seen in my students after our sessions, has led me to keep tutoring in my life post-graduation! If you need...

I am currently a computer science and economics student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I have taken various Mathematics and Science courses as well as economics classes. I look forward to helping students understand and comprehend the material in their courses in order to reach their full potential.

...and as a frequent contributor to the student science magazine were some of my most rewarding experiences in college. Outside of academia, I love the outdoors, especially camping and back backing. After graduating from Swarthmore I worked as a caretaker on the Appalachian Trail for four months, and am now settling down to tutor full-time until hiking season comes back into full swing. Next fall I hope to start my PhD in physics, with the...

...Science degree in Nuclear Science & Engineering and Physics. After graduating, I decided to continue my journey in academia by remaining at MIT and am currently pursuing a doctoral degree in NSE. Although I have tutored a wide range of subjects in the past, I am most passionate about topics in STEM (my favorites are Math, Physics, and Computer Programming in Python). I am a strong advocate for education, as I believe it is the...

...tutor is to adapt teaching style to the specific strengths and weaknesses of the student. My in-depth knowledge and experience with improvisation allow me to flexibly change problem solving approaches based on what the student needs. I am focused on engaging everyone I work with and am keenly attuned to whether people are truly following along. As an actor and director with a degree in science, I am equally at home with "science-y" and "arts-y"...

...Zoological Society, I understand the common struggles that students have in STEM courses, particularly biology. I have experienced many of these frustrations myself and feel I have become a stronger student and teacher because of them. Additionally, as a high school spanish tutor, I saw the common obstacles that held students back while also learning the individual frustrations of each student. With patience and dedication, I was able to work with my students to help...

...This class required me to teach to a variety of students that were at different ages and mathematical abilities. Teaching this class each semester brought on different challenges and obstacles. I overcame these obstacles by planning and organizing the day to day classroom activities and also making myself available to my students to come for extra help. Connecting with each and every one of my students brought joy to the difficult days leading up to...

...Looking to go to grad school in January or next September and have taken the GRE (preping to take the specialized Physics GRE in October). Math has always been somewhat intuitive for me, but once I got to college I knew I needed additional help. I know how much an outside perspective can help solve a frustrating problem and understand how important patience is in learning concepts that are somewhat difficult to grasp. Love being...

...concentration in Biochemistry and a minor in public health. I am currently working on my Masters degree in Medical Sciences. Teaching has always been a favorite of mine as I love to pass down information. The subjects I like the most are chemistry, physics, and english literature though I'm interested in all subjects in general. I also have tips and tricks on battling procrastination, designing a good study schedule, and staying focused.

...an interest in teaching either Math or Science but chose a different career path. I keep my passion for teaching and helping others in the subjects I am interested in through tutoring; it is something I thoroughly enjoy doing while helping students excel and achieve their potential in areas they might be struggling in. I have been tutoring in the greater Boston area for the last nine years and have found it rewarding watching students...

My name is Nicholas Dobrosielski and am currently pursuing a master of science at Pace University (New York, NY) in Biochemistry and molecular biology. I have a passion for chemistry and helping others learn effectively.

Beyond teaching, I'm passionate about climbing, slacklining, and exploring cutting-edge technology.

...of algorithms and how to compute, and more of a study of elegance. In Calculus, we learn the sophistication of the exponential function and how its value at a point is also its slope, and how we can use this to our advantage in differential equations. My lifelong love of mathematics, as well as many students' dismal outlook on mathematics, in conjunction with the gracefulness of mathematics that I am so fortunate to have been...

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.

...love. I believe strongly in the ability of education to improve one's quality of life; I still enjoy learning new topics every day. I want students to be able to use their knowledge to solve problems; pure memorization simply to pass a test is not my idea of a good education. In my spare time, I enjoy reading the classics I missed when I was younger, playing chess and playing the piano.

Challenging yourself to learn new material and in new ways isn't easy, but succeeding at either objective is rewarding.
