Award-Winning Science Tutors in Waltham, MA

...GRE, and the Biology GRE. To me, tutoring is a two-way street. While it is important that I answer questions, I also need to ask them to be effective. I love when students have specific questions about the material they are working on because it means they have an understanding of their strengths and weaknesses. I want to encourage students to always be able to explain why they picked a certain answer or what steps...

...where I learned to love learning, particularly math and science classes. I began tutoring my younger siblings in these subjects when they had trouble themselves. I even began attending Biology review sessions to help my teacher explain topics to other students and review material with them. I always enjoyed teaching simply because I enjoyed and was passionate about the material itself. But I enjoyed it even more when I heard about all the success other...

...if the student can first be taught to think like a scientist. Alternatively, that student may better understand an unfamiliar subject if the subject matter can be re-cast in a familiar form -- I can easily translate a history question into a math question, or a chemistry question into a humanities question. Once these unfamiliar subjects are translated into a 'language' that the student can understand based on his/her strengths, that once-difficult subject becomes much...

I am a first year student at Dartmouth College, interested in majoring in Economics.

...because I understand that studying for the test can often seem like a steep mountain to climb. I understand the importance placed on doing well and how stressful it can be for prospective physicians. I am eager to share my test taking strategies as well as help students to learn and understand the material itself. I'll also be applying for medical school in the near future and am happy to share my experiences with any...

I especially enjoy teaching biology, writing, and test preparation. My tutoring philosophy is to blend education with inspiration. I believe a great tutor not only teaches the material, but also helps students to become more effective learners. I often provide real-world examples to help students get excited about concepts. Also, I...

...a writer and president of an online magazine, where I teach and instruct other writers and editors. I began tutoring as a peer tutor during high school for the National Honor Society, covering subjects including Pre-Calculus, Spanish, Algebra, Geometry, Literature, Grammar, and Writing. Since then, I have expanded to cover a multitude of subjects for all ages. I look forward to connecting with students and helping to increase understanding and build confidence.

...working in Boston, where I grew up. I received my BA in History of Science from Harvard University, completing coursework in history, government, social sciences, biology, chemistry, and physics. I recently graduated with First Honors from National University of Ireland, Galway with my Masters in Gender, Globalization, and Human Rights. I was just accepted to medical school at the University of Massachusetts Medical School and will begin there in the fall of 2018.

...students in a range of subjects including anatomy and physiology, high school English, SAT prep, and algebra. In my years as a tutor in the MA public school system and at UMass Amherst, I have worked with both high school and college-aged students. As a camp counselor and neuroscience researcher, I have worked with infants and children from 2 months to 13 years of age. I take the time to help my students find the...

...made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a...
