Award-Winning PSAT Tutors in Boston, MA

...of Science in Economics. I have been tutoring since my sophomore year of high school, and while I am now in consulting, I could not give it up. I have tutored students from sixth grade to college seniors, and I have always been commended for creating an approachable atmosphere that is 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...

...one-on-one settings. 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...

I love traveling, dancing, and reading. But, what I am most passionate about, is learning.... Each one; teach one.... Introductions. Then, find out what the student knows and what the student needs help with.... By asking the student to explain how they get to their answers. That way, they get a chance to test if they really understand a concept.... By keeping the student engaged.... I would take the time to figure out what exactly is causing the difficulty, and work on it with the student.

...employ a wide variety of educational tools in my lessons, starting with the materials provided by the student's current instructors and adding in additional tools as needed, including textbooks, workbooks, articles, multimedia presentations, videos, and hands-on models and puzzles to promote maximum comprehension and retention of concepts and skills. Every effort is made to use the types of materials that best suit each student's individual learning style. While I believe all learning is inherently an...

...as my Masters of Arts in Literature. My tutoring experience includes being a teaching assistant for a fifth grade class, assisting in an after school enrichment program, preparing high school students for AP exams and more. While I tutor a variety of subjects, my personal studies were primarily focused on Literature, Politics and History. I am passionate about writing and education. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, running, doing yoga and exploring the city.

...an understanding of their strengths and weaknesses. I want to encourage students to always be able to explain why they picked a certain answer or what steps they took to solve a problem. I also want students to have a connection to the material and understand how it relates to their existing knowledge. The more connections we make between concepts, the better understanding we have of the big picture. When I'm not working or studying,...

...and hopefully building both competence and confidence. I will help explain things in new and clear ways so the student doesn't just see the answers, but sees how we reached them. I find that patience and understanding are a great way to get through to students, so I do my best to be fun and positive while making sure I am meeting the student’s special individual needs. Outside of work and school, I enjoy live...

...and food. I also am available to tutor in English, Psychology, and test preparation. In any subject I tutor, I like to make sure students are not afraid of their subject matter and are enjoying themselves! My calm, patient, and compassionate nature makes it easy for my students to feel at ease and not to be intimidated by what they are learning. I also focus on my students’ learning styles so that each student can...

...non-profit organic farms as a grower and educator. I consider myself lucky to be an educator, in particular one who specializes in English language arts. Language is perhaps the only subject that has the potential to truly further every student on their path to self and world discovery. Through teaching reading and writing, we are, in reality, giving students a myriad of tools: the ability to communicate, to perceive the world through a multitude of...

...students of all levels, and I am excited to work with a broad range of students through Varsity Tutors. I want to become a high school teacher, but tutoring is something that is so unique in that you get to work with one student and learn their every strength and weakness. I look forward to working with any student who needs my help, and helping them to grow to be the student they want to...
