Award-Winning Science Tutors serving Cambridge, MA

As a graduate student at Boston College, I believe that education can open new opportunities throughout life. With two years of volunteer tutoring experience, with both 4th and 8th graders, I believe in making learning fun, relevant and interactive. Every single student learns differently and it is vital to learn how each student learns in order to aid them in succeeding.

I have a energetic and fun personality that I bring to tutoring. I make sure the students have a clear understanding of what they are trying to learn but also have fun as well. Students that learn while have fun keeps their interest high.
