...I have encountered has brought unique challenges and perspectives, pushing me to explore innovative teaching methods and cultivate a deeper understanding of the subjects I teach. Whether explaining intricate statistical models, demystifying biological pathways, or guiding a student through their first research project, I find immense joy in breaking down barriers to learning. Watching students grasp difficult concepts and witnessing their confidence grow has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my teaching experience....

...statistics to SAT prep. I also taught two Chemistry 101 lab sections. In addition to my teaching experience I scored a 41 on the MCAT as well as a 1440 on the SAT(don't remember my writing score). I tutor MCAT 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...

...and building relationships. Working with young adults is a vocation for which I have always been passionate. Everything from being a camp counselor, to leading a cycling trip across the United States, to volunteer tutoring and mentoring, to being an Air Force pilot, I have experience sharing knowledge with others. Beyond teaching procedures or rote memorization of facts, I desire to teach the lessons behind the specific skill set so students understand the underlying concepts....

I've served as a teaching assistant for seven college-level courses across engineering, physics, and applied math, and I've mentored high school students in core subjects like algebra, calculus, and mechanics. My academic and teaching experience spans a wide range of topics, including calculus, differential equations, classical physics, dynamics, thermodynamics, structural analysis, and MATLAB-based modeling. I specialize in helping students break through difficult conceptswhether it's mastering vector calculus, understanding Newton's laws in real-world...

I am an experienced classroom teacher with 19 years of experience. I love to integrate learning through music, art, stories, and games. I am certified in Massachusetts as a classroom teacher, math specialist, reading specialist, and education administrator. I have two sons. I also love writing songs and run a musical theater camp. I love to make learning fun and exciting for my students. I was a 2015 finalist for Massachusetts Teacher of the Year.

...a BS in Chemical Engineering, and dual minors in Biology and Bioengineering. At Villanova, I was the president of the Club Running team, Commissioner of Intramural Sports, and heavily involved in service. Outside of the classroom, I've held internships and co-ops with ChemSolv, Inc., GlaxoSmithKline, and Johnson & Johnson, as well as presented research at the American Chemical Society National Expo. Beginning in the fall of 2015 I will pursue a PhD in Chemical Engineering...

...if the first approach doesn't work. I also try to teach the process of solving problems, which students can use for themselves as they build confidence. I have a Masters Degree in Chemistry from Cornell, where I was a teaching assistant for Introductory Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, and Physical Chemistry. While pursuing a PhD at RPI, I was a volunteer tutor for Chemistry and Chemical Engineering students. While working in industry, I taught my co-workers Statistics,...

I'm a former STEM high school teacher and advisor. Currently I support high school students prepare for what is next once they graduate. I believe in supporting students by getting to know about them both personally and professionally. I work to build confidence and foster a love for learning in subjects that the student may not enjoy.

I am a researcher and educator. I'm skeptical of received wisdom, have made a habit of getting paid to travel around the world, and love the outdoors and reading. Let's master your subject, but more importantly, master the art of learning and figure out why you're doing it. "The first principle is that you must not fool yourself - and you are the easiest person to fool." - Richard Feynman

...safe, engaging, and empowering space where students feel confident to ask questions, make mistakes, and ultimately grow.

With a focus on collaboration, I view tutoring as a partnership. By working together, we can unlock your full potential, turning challenges into opportunities for growth. Let's build the confidence and...

...to me for help with 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...

...support. While I enjoy tutoring in all subjects, I especially love English (and any type of writing), Social Studies, History, and Spanish. I'm also dyslexic, so I had to overcome a little more difficulty than many of my peers to learn how to read and write, but now those are two of my favorite things to do. As a result, I'm very patient and super passionate about helping others gain the same enthusiasm for education...

...at a local daycare for over seven years. At the daycare, I worked with children from the ages of six weeks to six years. The facility I worked for was credited and licensed as a full pre-school and kindergarten with the necessary curriculums. Thus, I have years of experience helping younger children learn the basics that will become the foundation of their learning in life. My favorite subject to teach and tutor is Science. Although...

...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 to do well on any exam....

...neuroscience. I have over 10 years of experience tutoring and have also worked at top tech and research companies (IBM, SpaceX, Kempner Institute, etc.). I'm really passionate about making learning fun! I hope that sessions with me will make the material not just understandable but also enjoyable and applicable. I like incorporating technology, hands-on activities, and real-world applications into my STEM-based tutoring subjects. As a tutor, I specialize in Algebra (Algebra 1 and 2), Calculus...

I have always had a knack for seeing multiple solutions to a given problem (even receiving a little gag award for our fifth grade graduation, titled: "I have a better way to do that" award). In addition to the natural joy I get from tutoring, I also enjoy solving the puzzle of determining which solution method matches best with how each student learns and thinks.

...pace, and by using their own personal thought process and learning style, so that it becomes intuitive and fun to learn! I am a scientist working in Biotech, with a bachelor's in Biochemistry from University of Massachusetts Boston. I tutor mainly science and related subjects such as chemistry and biology (and variations of both, such as molecular/ cell biology, and organic/ analytical/ physical chemistry). I also teach Algebra and Thai (as a native speaker). I...

...to be worthwhile. My teaching philosophy is that of a peer, rather than an instructor. I have found that hearing an explanation from a fellow student can help to bridge the gap of confusion in more complicated subjects. A recent student can recall what was difficult about the class and explain how they worked through that confusion. I found this philosophy to be especially helpful in college-level math, where the teachers often don't have the...

...such as SAT, AP sciences, who have gone on to score very high marks. I am always excited when a student finally 'get its' and declares that they now can see how all of these seemingly separate scientific topics are actually all related. My goal in providing tutorial is not just to get through the student's materials, but to motivate the student about the learning process as a whole and provide career guidance, good organizational...
