This past year, I worked as an AmeriCorps member with high school English Language Learner students, ages 14-19 and focused specifically with them on Algebra and reading, writing, and conversation skills in English. Outside of working with students, I love to read, hike around New England, and go on runs. I love working with kids of all ages and abilities and...

...current PhD candidate in experimental geophysics at MIT. I have successfully tutored dozens of students for the GRE; these students report not only higher scores but deeper understanding of the material, even in areas they have struggled with for years. Many of my students have not taken relevant quantitative courses for years and have forgotten much of their fundamental math skills, but after working with me for a short time, they are able to achieve...

I want to give back to my community by helping ensure that all students have a chance at academic success.

...the student is doing the thinking. I teach interactively, asking questions, listening to students. explanations, and probing students to produce the correct answer for themselves. I want to model thinking and questioning strategies that will allow a student to be successful without a tutor; I endeavor always to work myself out of a job. When I'm not tutoring or teaching swim lessons, I enjoy reading (especially mystery and crime novels), distance running, and long walks...

I am a graduate of Clemson University, where I earned a Master of Science degree in Mathematics. I take a student centered and inquiry-based approach, and over the past 6 years, I have helped so many students achieve their academic goals. While I have experience tutoring middle school through college level mathematics, I am most passionate about Algebra and Calculus, where I try to emphasize the logical processes behind solution methods.

...cum laude from Williams College with a Bachelor of Arts in chemistry and a minor in molecular biology. I currently work as an assistant teacher at a charter school in Boston. I provide close academic support in Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra II at my school. I am comfortable, however, with upper level math classes (such as calculus), and science courses (biology, chemistry, and physics). I am in the process of applying to medical school...

...graduate of Western Connecticut State University, currently working towards a Dental Doctorate degree at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. I took a gap year before starting dental school. During this time, I became a 7th-grade teacher; this experience shaped my understanding of the current educational needs in private and public institutions. Many children needed one-to-one tutoring, which I could not provide as a teacher. I enjoy teaching in a classroom, but I found that...

...to a year of experience as a Calculus I course assistant (college), three months of experience as an organic chemistry teaching assistant (college), and two months of experience as an organic chemistry lab aide (college), I recently spent four months as a maternity leave interim chemistry teacher (high school). I've also spent approximately three years informally assisting college students in various mathematics courses, from statistics and precalculus to higher-order algebra and analysis. While developing my...

...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 colleges in the New England area. Because of my varied academic background, I tutor subjects in math and science as well as music. When I'm not teaching, I...

...middle school level up to college level Biology and Mathematics. My two favorite subjects to tutor are general biology and algebra because both are like puzzles. The pieces of the problem all have to fit in order to see the correct answer. When I am tutoring, my goal is to meet the student where they are. This involves investigating where the student may be struggling or need guidance and building a foundation from there. Even...

I was a member of the Division I Track & Field team and qualified for All-Patriot League Academic Team, Dean's List and Dobro Slovo (Russian Honor Society).

...American Government from Georgetown who knows firsthand the value of hard work and dedication, especially when it comes to standardized tests. I have grown tremendously through the help of tutors and mentors, and I credit much of my success to their guidance and strategies. When I'm not working on my course work or my research projects, I enjoy biking, hiking, and reading! I look forward to passing on my tips and strategies for how to...

...my Master's in Medical Science. As a recent graduate of Princeton University, I have realized the importance of the learning process. Often times the difficulty of the material comes from the unfamiliarity of the approach to it, rather than the inherent difficulty of the material. As a tutor, I hope to help my students realize that they can master the material when they learn the best learning strategies to approaching their various assignments.

...their college essays and answering all of their college questions. Currently, I spend an average of at least 2-3 hours per week in Boston Public School classrooms, where I assist teachers and work with students one-on-one who would benefit from extra help. I do this every semester here at school, averaging 30 hours per semester in classrooms, and I love interacting with students! I also have experience working with younger children with literacy and phonics,...

...or vector). A strong intuition of maths and the language used to describe physical phenomena is something I have gained in my studies, and lends itself well to teaching these topics to others. In addition, I also teach the classical guitar privately and in several private schools in Upstate New York. I am in my fifth year of instruction, having earned my Associates degree in music performance for classical guitar. I am well-versed in music...

...I always excelled at test taking and standardized exams (SAT/SAT subject tests, AP exams, competition math). I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a Bachelor's of Science in Chemical Engineering and went on to work in scientific computing. I want to utilize my spare time during this difficult period to pass on my experience to students looking to improve themselves, whether it be training them to become experts in the topics they're struggling with or...

...a freshman student major in Finance at Bentley University. I have worked with many children during my time in high school. I have a strong passion for math and sciences. Since, 9th grade I started my own tutoring business. I have taught myself how to code HTML, and I self taught myself in AP Statistics. My goal is not only to help students who struggle in a subject, yet I want them to build confidence...

...style that works for them. I pride myself on being able to connect with students and to understand what they already know, in order to take their learning to the next level. Sometimes a student knows the material, but just isn't confident about how they found an answer. Other times, the student may benefit from a real-life example. For instance, a sports fan may understand the concepts of percentages better if it's explained in terms...

...me and our session. The student's learning style has the highest priority, and I experiment with teaching methods to see what works best. Every academic discipline equally contributes to the development of a well-rounded and aware individual, so I try to communicate that the knowledge each student stands to gain is incredibly important for their present and future. When I'm not in class, I am actively involved in my college's student council and mentoring program....

...Sophomore. I'm studying computers, the brain, and space (You could say my interests are out of this world!) I'm really passionate about making learning fun. I hope that sessions with me will make material not just understandable but also enjoyable and applicable. I like incorporating technology, hands-on activities, and real-world applications into my STEM-based tutoring subjects. As a tutor, I specialize in calculus (1, 2, and 3), Computer Science (Python, Java, Web Development), PSAT, and...
