Learning isn't always easy; in fact it's often uncomfortable. This means it's possible to find meaning even in classes we hate or the ones we think we are bad at. For this reason, I hope to work with learners who might be uncertain about their interests and futures.

Monica

Algebra Tutor • +22 Subjects

I am a doctoral student in theater history at Yale University currently living in Boston. I also hold a B.A. with honors in English Literature. I offer tutoring in elementary and middle school math, English literature, and reading comprehension; I can also offer particular expertise in writing.I am a published critic and scholar, and I currently work as an editorial assistant and proofreader. I also love teaching writing. I have worked for three years in writing intensive courses at the undergraduate and graduate level, and have also helped lead writing workshops for middle and high school students. I enjoy working with students from a wide variety of age levels and educational backgrounds.While the rules governing grammar, usage, and essay construction may appear challenging for many, I believe that, with effort and guidance, anyone can learn to write well. I enjoy helping students acquire the skills that will allow them to express themselves clearly and fluidly.I take a similar approach to teaching reading, literature, and math. When working with students, I do all I can do demystify the process of learning a subject, working with them to uncover its inner logic and obtain the tools and knowledge they need to succeed as students.Finally, I think that learning is fun. I communicate that sense of enthusiasm to my students, so that they will be encouraged to exert the effort and focus necessary to achieve mastery over a subject.In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with friends and family, going to see theater, trying new restaurants, and exploring Boston.

Hello! My name is Ben and for the past year and a half I have been tutoring math at all different grade levels. My main goal as a tutor is being approachable and creating a learning environment in which students feel comfortable to develop their skills.

I am currently studying Civil Engineering and Computer Science at Tufts University. Degree expected May of 2016. As the oldest of three siblings, I have spent a lot of time huddled around math and science textbooks, explaining concepts and helping my 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 to teach are Math and Computer Science. Outside of academia I am interested in basketball and music production.

Sara

ACT Prep Tutor • +27 Subjects

My academic background is focused on the Biological Sciences, Writing, and Editing. I have worked as an Educator in the fields of Nutrition and Sustainable Agriculture. Both fields require a thorough understanding of Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, and other Sciences. The age range of students I have worked with is broad, from elementary students to young adults. This variety has made me a more flexible Teacher and I am comfortable with changing my approach to best meet my students' needs.It is important to respect each students' individual learning styles and help them figure out how they can best work with their strengths. Students need information presented as simply as possible, yet can benefit from thinking about the same information in different ways; striking this balance keeps students engaged. I also answer and ask questions carefully, helping students learn how to think through problems on their own and truly understand the correct answers. Through working with me, students can become more independent and confident, knowing that they have the critical thinking skills needed to continue to learn and meet their goals.

Cailin

ACT Writing Tutor • +34 Subjects

I am a graduate of Dickinson College and a current student at Longy School of Music of Bard College. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from Dickinson in Anthropology and Music - Vocal Performance, and am now pursuing my Master of Music degree in Voice Studies. Between graduating from Dickinson and matriculating at Longy, I worked in the Education department at Port Discovery Children's Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. There, I wrote and facilitated many programs for school and camp groups, birthday parties, Scout groups, and volitional guests. The programs' subject matter spanned all subjects from the Maryland State curriculum and Girl and Cub Scout badge requirements, from Pre-K through 5th grade. In addition, I have previous experience in educational outreach programming; camp counseling; teaching theatre classes; and tutoring. While I love teaching and tutoring in any subject, I am most drawn to English (Literature, Creative Writing, Reading Comprehension), History and Social Studies, and Music. As a tutor, I love helping students find tools to become their best selves, and I believe in building on our strengths to bolster our weaknesses. I am passionate about equitable education for all because I believe it opens your world: to new opportunities, new ways of thinking, and new ways to improving life for yourself and your communities.

Yu Wen

ACT English Tutor • +18 Subjects

My name is Yu Wen and I am a strong believer that anyone can learn anything! I attended the University of Pennsylvania as an undergraduate and recently finished my Master's in Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. As a tutor, I create a space where my learners can feel empowered and safe to take on the sometimes difficult, yet often fulfilling and fun, challenge of learning new things. I practice a growth mindset philosophy, and I often say that it is okay to be wrong, it just means you haven't learned the material... yet. With patience and effective pedagogy, I strive to give my students confidence that they can learn anything they set their mind to. I take my students' desires, motivations, goals, and interests seriously. Fun fact: I am an international student from Malaysia!

Karen

1st Grade Reading Tutor • +21 Subjects

Hello! I have been working with children through babysitting, tutoring, and in professional environments since I was 12 years old. From the time that I was first asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, the answer has always been a teacher, and I am hoping to share the long standing passion with you. Currently, I hold a bachelor's degree in Spanish language and literature as well as a Master's degree in elementary education with ambitions to obtain an Ed.D in second language acquisition. I have a variety of experience working with elementary and preschool aged children grades preschool-grade 4. My specific experience lies in the areas of elementary reading, phonics, comprehension skills, and Mathematics. The reason that I have grown to love tutoring is that it can make learning subjects that were previously boring or frustrating fun! Each child is an individual and because of that, has individual learning needs. This, I believe is the key to success. I am a very big lover of games and believe that effective learning happens through engagement not rote memorization.

Lorelei

2nd Grade Reading Tutor • +37 Subjects

I am a Masters in Teaching student at Brandeis University with a Bachelor's degree in English Literature and Business from Brandeis University. I prioritize access to a quality education. I work to provide personalized and differentiated instruction for every student in my tutelage. I work with parents and other caregivers to create the most well-rounded, successful learning plan for students, and work as a team with students and parents to develop learning goals. I help students to develop ownership over their own learning, and to feel successful about the skills they are developing as they continue to progress. I have worked with students as an SAT preparatory tutor, as an ESL tutor, and in an elementary school classroom as a student teacher. I am passionate about every subject I tutor, but my personal strengths are in developing literacy skills (reading and writing) in students K-12. I care about my students, and work to incorporate my students' interests and strengths into each tutoring session. When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy exploring the Mass Audubon Reservations, hiking, reading, and skiing in the winter months.
