Award-Winning PSAT Tutors in Brockton, MA

...Applied Sciences and Technology at the University of California at Berkeley. I have been a tutor for the last few years. I have worked primarily with undergraduate physics and engineering students, both individually and in large groups. I am a great tutor because I am extremely patient. I believe that the best way to teach is to first listen carefully to how a student is approaching a problem. Rather than jumping in with my own...

...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 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...

...addition to my experience at Hamilton, I spent a summer teaching science to 4th and 5th graders with Exploration Summer Programs and a Summer teaching chemistry to 8th graders with Breakthrough Collaborative. In both of these programs I developed my own curriculum and planned all of the lessons. I learned how to explain concepts in an engaging and clear manner to a wide age range of students. While my traditional experience focused on the sciences,...

...and high school students, which is almost easier, since full comprehension can be immediately and clearly demonstrated. I generally design some sort of worksheet in order to walk the student through the process of figuring out the general concept in a unique way; for example, I will use an angle maze to teach geometric angle theorems. I am a proponent of the mindset that learning to learn is much more important than learning pure information,...

...approaches to math problems and have found ways to make all my students over the years understand the best way for them to solve different types of questions. This ability meant that I was often given students with various learning disabilities, since they knew I could make it work for those students. I believe that learning should be fun and that engaging the student is the best way to get them excited about a subject....

...around us, which we access and make beautiful through literature. I have always enjoyed making these subjects as fun for my students to learn as they are for me to teach. My goal in teaching is to foster in my students a fiery curiosity, and enthusiasm for learning and critical thinking, and confidence in asking questions. In my free time, I enjoy making music (I play the piano, flute, and guitar!), visiting art museums, and...

...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 learn in the most productive and successful way possible. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy cooking, playing the piano, listening to music, trying new foods, traveling, and most of all spending time with my family and friends.... In a typical first session with a student, I might get to know the student by asking more questions about his/her interests, goals, learning style, and what has and hasn't worked in the past. I would also tell the student a little bit more about myself and how I like to tutor. Then, depending on the student's needs, we would typically work through a few initial practice problems to get an idea of our starting point.

...of Arts in English from the University of Connecticut, where I am currently working on my PhD in American Literature. I tutor a mix of test preparation, English, Literature, and Writing. In helping students with reading and writing skills, I enjoy using multiple different approaches to develop a well-rounded understanding of the techniques, while making the sessions fun. I'm a strong proponent of keeping studying dynamic. It is important to me that my students come...

...in Algebra II and college students in Intergral Calculus, and spent two summers working as a teaching intern at a summer school. I plan to pursue teaching certification for high school math. I am patient, flexible, and enjoy discovering which approaches work most effectively for each individual I work with. Every student is different, and as a result, every student learns differently as well. I have thoroughly enjoyed each of my previous experiences working with...

...being able to spark this love of physics in my students, and as a consequence also sparking a love in mathematics, a necessary companion to physics. I also enjoy helping students prepare for the SAT because it is a test where practice makes perfect. Seeing a student gain confidence and start growing in knowledge is a very satisfying experience. Outside of academics my extra-curriculars and hobbies include: classical piano, EMS, swimming, 3D printing, and medical...
