Award-Winning SAT Tutors in Newton, MA

I'm John. I have a proven track record of raising students' SAT scores quickly and counseling towards their best fit school. I hope you'll consider me!

...I enjoy tutoring students of all ages in a variety of subjects. My favorite subject to tutor is math because, unlike English, the rules always stay the same. I also enjoy tutoring for both the ACTs and the SATs. It is great to see a student's scores improve as we work on practice tests and the different skills that they need. In my free time I love to travel. In Oct. of 2014 I left...

...in Environment and Resource management.

...student at Pitt, I studied abroad in Ankara, Turkey. Studying Turkish language and music was a gateway for me to understand more about everything around me. I want my students 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...

...any would-be tutees. I'm a teacher with an educational Master's degree from Harvard University.

...that has graduated early from Wellesley College. I've had experience tutoring SAT/ACT prep as well as writing and biology/chemistry. Tutoring opened my eyes to worlds different from mine; by tutoring low-income students in New York as well as international students in Korea, I've come to grow alongside my students and see new perspectives. I love to meet new people and share how science has enriched my life. I want to show students that chemistry or...

...tutoring within these subjects. Of these, my favorite topics to tutor are Algebra and Chemistry, as they both have discernible patterns within the material which leads to a better understanding as one builds new topics on previous ones. I have found that students have the most success in first reviewing basic concepts to assess and address where they are having difficulty, followed by continuous problem-solving to reinforce the concepts and strategies until they become second...

...bits and pieces of information that they need to do their best. As a teacher in the classroom, I'm dedicated to helping my students grow in their abilities, whatever it takes. Sometimes it isn't just about how I teach a concept to students-- it's about how I teach that one concept to that one student in particular. I find such an importance in individualizing instruction so that it is easy to understand and specific to...

Nelson Mandela writes, "Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world". I wholeheartedly believe that. My passion for and conscientiousness in my academics has inspired my desire to be a tutor where I can hopefully help others and encourage them to embrace their education and the challenges that come with it, no matter how difficult they are.... I believe in guiding a student rather than simply telling them the answer. Questions...

I've always had a great love for reading and writing and hope to pass that love along, while also ensuring that students have a good grasp on reading comprehension, grammar, and writing mechanics. I use a combination of several different techniques to enable students to improve in their reading and writing skills, and try to use resources that are not only helpful but also relate to the students' interests.

...experiences and seeing students gain confidence in their abilities! Chemistry is a close second mostly because I am currently studying the material for the third time since my sophomore year of high school. I want my students to feel comfortable telling me their expectations for what exactly they hope to gain from me and our session. The student's learning style has the highest priority, and I experiment with teaching methods to see what works best....

...material, and building personal relationships has always been a passion for me. Writing and language are especially important (and fun) to me, and I hope to bring some of that enthusiasm to my students own outlook. Outside of writing, reading, and art, I love baking, biking, and travel. Above all, I have a desire to help others, whether its cooking a meal for a friend or helping a student master a skill.

...and African studies courses. I tutor in many different areas, but my passion is in working with students in writing, literature, critical reading, music, and French. In working to prepare students for standardized tests, I can offer a wide variety of strategies for vocabulary, writing, and time management. As an educator, I am particularly interested in the transitions from high school to college, and from college into the professional world. Outside of teaching, I enjoy...

...am intimately familiar with the challenges that students face when learning new material. I taught math at a community center during high school and I have recent experience helping fellow students with their homework and SAT prep. I try to approach tutoring the same way I would help a friend, by helping them build an intuitive understanding of the material rather than memorizing a set of rules. I love helping students achieve their goals, and...
