Award-Winning SAT Tutors in Waltham, MA

Adam ...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...

Victor ...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 explicit recognition of this makes working with equations considerably easier. Personal interests include speculative fiction, adventure/exploration video games, and terrible puns.

Robert ...similarly to how you build your Facebook profile. Your college application "profile" is your opportunity to show colleges how awesome you are with the aim of compelling them to send you a friend request. It would be my pleasure to work with you on test prep; including SAT, SAT II Latin, SAT II German, AP English, ACT, ISEE, and HSPT. I would also enjoy working with you on persuasive essays and research papers, Latin I-III,...

Langston ...urban schools, and I will attend medical school this fall. I have extensive one-on-one tutoring experience in a variety of subjects, and I have taught multiple classroom SAT prep courses. When tutoring, I break down problems into their simplest form and provide thorough explanation, so that any student can achieve mastery. I have helped students raise their SAT scores by hundreds of points by teaching them crucial test taking techniques and optimal ways of approaching...

Adrian ...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...

Zachary ...hand. I also have much experience with adolescents through my tutoring experience, coaching ice hockey, and working at a summer camp. I am proficient in mathematics and most fields of science with special concentration in Calculus (1-3) and Physics (1-2). I have a passion in these fields and look to enhance the student's understanding of the concept as opposed to merely memorizing information to pass an exam. I am able to tutor most days of...

Andy ...Helping students overcome the anxieties that so often accompany learning Math at the earliest and most crucial stages means helping students think about the material in a way that is meaningful to them and teaching them to relate Math to their own lives and interests in a way that fosters a passion that lasts far beyond the day of the big test and hopefully for a lifetime. Although my main focuses are standardized test preparation...

Cassie ...always carry around a personal white board! When I am not in the classroom, I like to find myself immersed in the beautiful culture of the city. At least once a month, I like to take my mom out to a restaurant of a different ethnicity and culture to try some different foods. We most recently discovered a Caribbean restaurant called "Some 'Ting Nice" in Somerville, MA. Although I wouldn't call dancing a talent, I...

Calvin ...extensively in the dual enrollment programs of local community colleges, meaning I graduated high school and entered college with an Associates degree. During my high school years, I also prepared extensively for the SAT, giving me extensive knowledge of the test and various test-taking strategies. Due to this knowledge, and personal experience tutoring some of my friends, I primarily tutor for the SAT. I always have my students take diagnostic tests for each section, preferably...

Kayla I am a very experienced high school and middle school teacher/tutor, as I have been tutoring or teaching in some capacity since August of 2010. I have always loved making personal connections with students and helping them make daunting studies (such as math or test preparation) more approachable. My favorite part of my job is empowering students to be more independent learners and helping them develop confidence in their abilities.
