Award-Winning Physics Tutors in Somerville, MA

...but an incorrect application of test preparation. Therefore, I focus not only on reviewing concepts and problems, but also on strategies for test taking success. This includes developing critical thinking skills and ways to synthesize material from multiple sources to help you truly understand the topic from multiple angles. This will help boost your confidence and help you retain more information by making it relevant to your academic achievement. Not only that, but this technique...

...fall, without thinking about it, into a mindset that everyone can see those connections of familiarity just as easily. I always try to remember how overwhelming it can be to see this material for the first time, and teach accordingly, breaking things down to as simple a set of parts as possible. Beyond my work, I very much enjoy writing music of all types (rock, country, pop, orchestral, R&B). I am not a musician, and...

...degree at University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and my Masters of Science in Finance at Boston College. I teach as an Adjunct Professor at Boston College in the Finance department, teaching Entrepreneurship, Venture Capital, and mentoring students in a variety of areas. My tutoring focus is Math and Science. I have helped a lot of students in these subjects understand what is important in the subject, and how to think about and approach problems. I...

...required for graduation (general chemistry, physics, calculus, multivariable calculus, and biology). I have also tutored students in SAT exam preparation for the past three years. Knowledge is an equalizer, and I firmly believe in paying my knowledge forward. I tutor a wide range of subjects, but my main passions are physics and math. I was fortunate enough to have a wonderful physics professor who turned physics into a way of viewing the world around me...

...brother and sister see problems the way I do. I believe strongly that the student gains nothing from the tutor who does their work for them, so I go out of my way to make sure each student understands that grasping the concepts is much more important than solving the individual problems. Besides working with my siblings, I also have experience teaching swim lessons, volunteering in classrooms, and tutoring High School students. My favorite subjects...

...society. The best way to teach goes beyond "picking the right formula to use." Mastery of this type of subject matter comes from being able to ask "what is it I'm trying to accomplish by asking this question? What is the item - that can be quantified - that I need to extract from the problem material at hand?" Then the formula becomes a tool to aid in turning the data into a solution.... I prefer what is called the Socratic Method, which is based on questioning the student. We ask "What is this problem trying to accomplish?," and then "Which of the concepts and rules you are learning now applies to this problem?" Once the meaning and purpose is understood, the rest comes through the mechanics of practice.

...not present in the student's classroom, which is in my opinion, the difference between a teacher and a tutor. I also pride myself on creating a lasting impression on the student. After all, if the student's performance decreases when I leave, I really have not done my job. I have a natural gift for Math and Science tutoring, with various approaches to every problem. My upbringing (my father wrote plays, and had a PhD in...

...I am most comfortable teaching quantitative sciences, although I also have experience teaching standardized tests and more qualitative subjects such as Biology or Chemistry. I am a born and raised Bostonian, having grown up in Reading, MA. I am a proud product of the Massachusetts Public School system. I am a die-hard Patriots fan, as well as a Bruins season ticket holder. My other hobbies include computer hardware and software building/modding, reading, and playing sports.

...Parkinson's Disease. My tutoring experience stems from my involvement in the National Honor Society at Xaverian Brothers High School where I tutored Freshman and Sophomore classes in our mathematics and science, specifically Algebra, Calculus and Biology. Furthermore, after being inducted in the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society at BU, I led tutoring sessions specifically geared to Engineering principles such as mechanics, physics, and mathematics. As an engineer, my favorite subjects to study are High...

...Math and I absolutely love teaching these subjects. I really enjoy helping students overcome the gaps in understanding tough concepts, watching them understand the material, succeed on exams and seeing how proud and accomplished they are. I started tutoring when I was 17 years old doing Basic Math and as I have gone through my schooling I have begun to expand my teaching to all Mathematics classes and Physics classes when needed. I have tutored...
