Award-Winning Science Tutors serving Newton, MA

...on my Masters in Teaching degree back at Brown, with a focus on secondary social studies/history. In between, I taught 8th grade American Studies full-time at a private school in California, tutoring students on the side in both writing and math. I also ran an afterschool support program for students with learning differences who needed help with planning, organization, and structuring their work time. Throughout my undergraduate career, I worked with students from age six...

My name is Jill, and I graduated with a BA in Physics from Grinnell College. I've been a tutor and mentor for more than four years, and love teaching science and math in ways that empower students to be critical thinkers and creative problem-solvers.

As a professional tutor, I really enjoy the work I do. To me, a crucial part of life success is helping others, so I am dedicated to my work. Sometimes, when somebody shows us something we can't see for ourselves, we become capable of things we never thought we could do. ... Once you've learned something, it is never forgotten. It just needs to be recalled.... Assess the problem, set short and long-term goals, establish plans...

If want an intelligent, dedicated, and caring tutor, then I'm the...

...brought on different challenges and obstacles. I overcame these obstacles by planning and organizing the day to day classroom activities and also making myself available to my students to come for extra help. Connecting with each and every one of my students brought joy to the difficult days leading up to the students' understanding and being able to do the material with ease. In my spare time, I enjoy balancing watching Netflix and enjoying the...

...in Atlanta before moving to Boston for graduate school. I got my MPH at Tufts and began medical school at Tufts as well before deciding to take some time away from school to reevaluate my career goals and to enjoy myself a bit! I love spending time with my dogs, playing various sports, teaching, and learning new things for myself as well! I look forward to getting the chance to know you and feel free...

Chemical Engineering major. Currently studying for engineering exams and looking to share my knowledge.

...the off-season. My specialty was biology throughout my time in school. However, I took a lot of pride in my trigonometry and algebra skills which continued to serve me well into college physics classes. I want to make sure students can connect the material they are learning to their own lives so that education becomes something they truly value. It can be impossible to grasp the material at the same speed that it is tested...

...love helping students learn and explore all science subjects! In my classroom we have a 75 gallon fish tank which we use to explore ecology concepts and we do many laboratory experiences throughout the year. My expertise is in Biology and AP Biology. I have a passion for both thanks to growing up with a father who was a passionate doctor and fostered his love of learning about the world with me. I have taught...

Each of us is born curious about the world around us. Science explains this curiosity, but sometimes the explanations become confusing. I love science and I enjoy making difficult concepts clear and meaningful. When concepts make sense, it is easy to recall them on tests and quizzes! My background includes 24 years of public school science teaching and three years at a private high school. Currently, I teach biology and chemistry as an adjunct professor.

...particularly about entanglement and the Earth's inner core, respectively. My focus in Visual Studies is lens arts and film studies with a strong lean towards formalism. The two disciplines may seem very unrelated to you, but it is the combination of the two that makes me a great student and teacher! A few fun facts about my college experience: I actually finished high school in 3 years and began college a year earlier than usual,...

...I am on course to matriculate into Boston University School of Medicine to continue my dream of becoming a pediatric physician. I have numerous experiences working with children of all ages through my role as assistant teacher at a local Chinese school, or my clinical experience working at Massachusetts General Hospital for Children. I specialize in test preparation strategies for the ACTs, MCATs and APs, but am equally qualified to tutor in numerous biology related...

...in high school and continued throughout college and now beyond as a working professional. It is hard to match the joy and satisfaction one receives from helping hard-working students achieve their goals and surprise even themselves at how much they can learn and improve. I specifically enjoy tutoring "scary" subjects such as chemistry because where others see an obstacle, I see an exciting challenge that we can use to build our confidence, problem-solving strategies, and...

...find the best ways in which he/she can recall, understand, and relate various subject materials. Ultimately though, whether a student is an auditory, visual, kinetic, spacial, etc.. learner, I find the best approach is to help students learn how to identify a range of ways to ask questions regarding any problem, source, or material at hand and then proceed to find the solutions to those questions. I am extremely interested in narratives. My hobbies are...

I am a retired corporate instructor and for the past ten years a professor at New York University (NYU). Education has been a lifelong passion which I pursue, in part, by tutoring individual students from late middle school through college. I'm married and have three grown children and a couple of very special grandchildren.

...and fill in the gaps in a student's knowledge. We work through questions together and learn as we solve them. Though medical sciences are my focus, I have a broad knowledge base and use that base to bring science to life. From pop culture to politics, we can find common ground in order to link your everyday interests to your studies! I've worked with medical students, reviewing information with them and putting a different spin...

...science, English, writing, literature and Spanish. I am excited to revisit these academic interests as a tutor during my "gap year" before I attend medical school next year. Although I spend a lot of time with "my nose in the books," I pounce on any excuse to go outdoors during my free time. I play soccer and lacrosse, go rock climbing, hike, surf and white water kayak- but don't worry, not at all at the...

...have come to realize a passion for teaching. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am best in Reading Comprehension,Science ACT , Business Law and Elementary Math and Science. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, while also noting that not every student will be the best in every subject and nurturing their passions. In my spare time, I enjoy Anime,...

...Students" initiative. Through this campaign, I was able to impart programming knowledge to young students across more than 30 schools, enriching their skills through multiple sessions and organizing programming contests on weekends. It was incredibly rewarding to see young minds develop their coding abilities and grow confident in problem-solving. Outside of tutoring, I have a strong interest in global business trends and enjoy staying updated on developments in the tech world. I also enjoy reading,...
