Award-Winning Pre-Calculus Tutors in Massachusetts

...I am well versed in all grade school and college-level mathematics. The teaching style I have developed through my own experience, as well as keeping up with the results of physics education research, follows a Socratic principle. Students should be carefully guided as they pursue their own understanding, and should be able to experience for themselves the fun of figuring out the natural world. I also believe that physics and mathematics are languages, and that...

...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 privately and through the library at Binghamton University. I particularly love tutoring because not only...

...is different, and as a result, every student learns differently as well. I have thoroughly enjoyed each of my previous experiences working with high school students, particularly in an academic setting. Teaching and tutoring math allows me to share my interests with students while quelling their anxieties and building their self-confidence. My friendly, laid-back demeanor and flexibility helps me to connect with my students and adapt my tutoring style to best fit their needs.

...recently graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a Master of Science in Civil & Environmental Engineering. Since my undergraduate degree was in environmental sciences (and not engineering), I had to take a lot of extra math courses to get into CMU. While I was taking my prerequisite courses to get into graduate school, I worked part-time as a tutor for Upward Bound. My favorite subjects to tutor are math, physics, chemistry and biology. I firmly...

...passion for the new and the innovative. I enjoy researching new things in physics and technology and learning new ways of thinking about things I already know. My main interest, however, is alternative energy and sustainable technologies. I pride myself on being a friendly and charismatic person, with the ability to make people comfortable around me and also understand the importance of what I am communicating. I am thorough and meticulous in my method of tutoring,...

...seems to come together and make perfect sense? Sometimes all it takes is an explanation, a demo or a new way of re-framing the question. That is what I enjoy about teaching, tutoring. The "A Ha" moments. I enjoy the sciences because there is a method to the madness, and it makes sense. Sometimes the challenge is showing how it makes sense but when you get that, you get it! I have a Master's degree...

...Lowell. I graduated from Tufts University with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and worked as a mechanical design engineer in the solar industry. During my time at Tufts, I was involved in tutoring Engineering Science and Physics to college students. Of the subjects that I currently tutor, I am most passionate about Math and Mechanical Engineering subjects. My approach to tutoring is to help students develop good practical problem-solving skills and tools that are applicable...

...taking methods and test anxiety management. As a trained scientist who is also a writer, I have a special interest in integrating English comprehension and expression skills into the mastery of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) studies. I make a special effort to help each of my students acquire a thorough understanding of the terminology specific to STEM topics as I believe that mastering the language of Science and Mathematics is a large part...

...I have tutored and mentored other students who have earned entry into Ivy League schools and top NYC public schools. I believe that doing well in school is not solely about the grades you make, but also about the hands you shake. In addition to teaching you trignometry, I will mentor you on how to approach school. My name is Alif. I work as a finance & risk consultant. I do not tutor for the...

...School, then worked all four years of college as a tutor, study group leader and teaching assistant. My professional life was also in the field of education until I left to start my Masters in the fall of 2012. When a student realizes that they truly understand a concept (not just how to do it, but WHY it's done that way) is the greatest moment for a tutor and I consider myself lucky that I...
