Award-Winning Science Tutors in Framingham, MA

...in life. My favorite subject to teach and tutor is Science. Although I specialize in Biology, I have much experience with the other sciences as well. My teaching philosophy changes with the age group I tutor. For older students, I work on building confidence in the subject and help with the memorization-heavy like Biology. I excel in helping students not only learn the information, but also in helping them input the information to memory for...

...courses. Outside of this, I volunteered my time to help students 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...

...Algebra II, Chemistry and an Academic Support class. I have 3 years tutoring experience in all of the above mentioned subjects as well as Math and Biology MCAS test prep. I am patient, innovative and encouraging. I am supportive of students with all different types of learning styles. One of my strengths is adapting lessons to fit the needs of the individual student (e.g. creating more models for the visual learner, pairing visuals with verbal...

...a student at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. I study Physics and will be receiving my Bachelor of Science degree next year. I have helped many of my colleagues pass their classes and understand concepts in subjects they have trouble with. I also have great experience helping students much younger than myself, from elementary school through high school. My favorite subject to tutor is calculus, I believe the concepts of calculus are much simpler than most instructors...

...elementary school age to college in a variety of subjects. I love the sciences, particularly learning how the body works, but I have also excelled in math and standardized test prep. The world is full of puzzles, and school just has a few of the more difficult ones. Academic success is built from how we approach these puzzles, and how each unique mind breaks down a problem's pieces. For test prep, studying is as much...

...and learning new words from practice exams. For Chemistry, this involves reviewing practice exams and trying to gauge exam style once the basics have been fully mastered. My strongest tutoring subjects are General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, GRE Math and GRE Verbal. For three semesters at Cornell, I tutored Organic Chemistry with the Learning Strategies Center. Here, I guided students through problems sets and practice exams, with a particular focus on improving critical reasoning, time management...

...skill they can effortlessly pick up, and creativity is not instantly 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...

...undergraduate students. As part of my graduate study of physics, I am well versed in all grade school and college-level mathematics. The teaching style I have developed through my own experience, as 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...

...Biology. There is a personal reward and a level of pride that comes with helping someone learn. This feeling pushed me to seek other teaching opportunities. During my final year in college I was hired as a tutor for Boston Global, a small company which helps recently immigrated students in handling course material. That was a unique experience because it helped develop a talent for connecting to students with whom I may have had little...

...to Massachusetts, which is where I grew up. While obtaining my degrees I have taught and mentored students in science from a variety of different age groups. These experiences have taught me how to tailor my teaching methods to a particular student. I chose to pursue a career in science because it is a subject I find interesting and exciting. I have spent the last 10 years advancing my understanding of Biology and Chemistry and...
