Award-Winning Science Tutors in Brookline, MA

...about 10 years I.e. When I was in middle school, I was tutoring elementary school; when I was in 10th grade, I was tutoring 10th grade and below. Math is a subject where foundation skills are critical. Concepts learned at lower levels are needed for upper levels. I enjoyed tutoring math, because it reinforced concepts that I had learned at a lower level and left me with the satisfaction that my peers and students would...

...sciences, specifically General Chemistry and Biology. I also served as a teaching assistant for laboratory sections of Introductory Chemistry and Biology where I helped students in lab and reviewed and graded reports out of it. I work in the biotech industry, using my knowledge of Biology and Chemistry on a daily basis. I aspire to become a doctor, and am currently studying for the MCAT. Some of my interests are boating, Boston sports, crossword puzzles...

...science and math problems because I'm patient, fun, funny, understanding, and know how to explain topics in a wide variety of ways. My teaching style is unique. I first listen to my students and learn how they like to learn, and memorize new techniques and skills. After learning about my students, I devise strategies to best fit their study habits. I relate problems to what they like (always trying to make learning fun). I give...

...With my patience and motivating nature, I help students build confidence in their inherent abilities. In the last seven years, I have had a range of tutoring experience from being a Biochemistry Teacher's Assistant to teaching ESL classes online. I am a graduate of Cornell University with a Bachelor of Science in Biological Engineering. Since graduation, I worked as an engineer for more than two years. I am now preparing to go to medical school....

...Chemistry. I then went to the University of Delaware and obtained my M.S. degree in Inorganic Chemistry in 2012. While in graduate school I was a teaching assistant for two years for introduction to chemistry laboratories and really enjoyed teaching. I am looking to use my passion for Chemistry and teaching to help students excel. I recently took the MCAT exam and I am currently applying to medical school. I look forward to helping you...

...Biology at Boston University. I moved to Boston in 2013 to pursue research with the Belfer Institute at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute after graduating with a B.S. in Biology and a minor in French from Allegheny College. Outside of my PhD work, I am an avid skier, runner, traveler and beach goer. My experience as a teacher spans from my responsibilities as a graduate teaching fellow in Instructional Biology at Boston University and my role as...

...fluid. Bearing that in mind, I use a Socratic method to draw out ideas and key words and phrases when helping students come up with responses to creative writing essay questions, i.e., the kind given on SATs, ACTs and on college essays. Usually, by the end of the session, they find out that they need a lot less help than they thought! I have also done a fair amount of math and science tutoring with...

...learning for the first time, and the process can be intimidating, especially if his or her peers are learning at a rate different from their own. If a younger student associates learning with a negative experience early in life, their learning and their outlook on school will be negatively affected. Thus, I find it very important to instill a positive attitude about learning at an early age. In my spare time, I enjoy running, practicing...

...I worked to challenge girls to step up beyond themselves and grow as role models. Sometimes though, I would end up helping them with their biology homework too! My favorite subject to tutor would be microbiology since the field is so diverse and constantly changing, and not all bacteria are "bad"! I also enjoy teaching the botanical branch of biology, and gardening is a hobby of mine. I am a strong believer in the power...

...who were struggling in the upper level courses I was taking. I love science and medicine and I love teaching students to understand and appreciate how cool science can be. I believe that once you understand the concepts and how they fit into the larger framework, it makes memorizing a lot easier and it gives you the command of the material that enables you to do well on any exam. When I am not doing...
