Award-Winning Statistics Tutors serving Framingham, MA

Hello, my name is Dillon and I live in the Allston Brighton area. I have many years of math experience and years of experience explaining it to others. I tutor a wide variety of courses and I am looking forward to hearing from you.

I want to give back to my community by helping ensure that all students have a chance at academic success.

...Education, where I studied Human Development and Psychology. I am very passionate about education, and especially in student motivation and learning effectiveness. Growing up in China, I have rich experiences in test taking and learning strategies, which led me to Peking University, one of the two top universities in China. I would be thrilled to help you where I can! Feel free to reach out to me if you need help in Math (Primary through...

...I strongly believe that math is an integral part to becoming a well-rounded individual because it not only teaches concrete ideas, but it also teaches students problem-solving skills that can be applied to other disciplines as well. I am a former college softball player, and I have been involved with softball since I was 4 years old. Aside from math, I am a huge history buff. If i ever end up in the classroom, I...

...comfortable teaching quantitative sciences, although I also have experience teaching standardized tests and more qualitative subjects such as Biology or Chemistry. I am a born and raised Bostonian, having grown up in Reading, MA. I am a proud product of the Massachusetts Public School system. I am a die-hard Patriots fan, as well as a Bruins season ticket holder. My other hobbies include computer hardware and software building/modding, reading, and playing sports.

...I am happiest teaching math, which is a lifelong love. I believe strongly in the ability of education to improve one's quality of life; I still enjoy learning new topics every day. I want students to be able to use their knowledge to solve problems; pure memorization simply to pass a test is not my idea of a good education. In my spare time, I enjoy reading the classics I missed when I was younger,...

...from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. While I was there, I tutored middle school-, high school-, and college-aged students in everything from Algebra I through Differential Equations. The main thing I love about tutoring and teaching mathematics is providing students with a foundation to discover the various principles on their own (rather than rote memorization of "if you see this, do that") and them realizing the joy and fun in that discovery.

...degree in Biology. 2 time Captain for the varsity women's ice hockey team at Brown. 2 years of tutoring experience in general Biology and Chemistry, and over 6 years of experience working with children in athletic camps, as a student-athlete mentor, and through on ice games with the RI special hockey foundation. I enjoy learning from my tutees to find new ways to teach and explain information in a way that is fun and effective!

Teaching is my passion. When I am not tutoring for Varsity Tutors, I work in medical research. I love the idea of helping patients feel better and especially kids. If I had to say something about my outlook, it is that I am thankful for what I do, privileged to be part of so many lives, and hopeful that my skills will make a difference.

...and if you let yourself you can have fun doing it. The mindset of curiosity and enthusiasm that comes from a game is powerful when used in a math or science setting. I also make a point of emphasizing thinking actively about different strategies when doing schoolwork, studying, reading, and test-taking. I believe the best student is someone who actively thinks about what they do and whether they can improve, and the best tutor is...

...progress, and to work with them to set short-term and long-term goals. I prioritize working to develop logical and generalizable ways to address questions and problems, as this makes it easier to know which strategy can be used to solve them. I also work with students to learn about learning itself -- to understand the ebb and flow of knowledge acquisition and to take challenge and failure in stride. I value a growth mindset stemming...

...24 year old Math and Classics student-athlete graduate from the University of Massachusetts - Amherst. I live in Brighton now and am currently applying to full-time jobs. I am very friendly and outgoing and have lots of experience with kids of all ages and all personalities (believe me)! I've been babysitting for almost 10 years and have spent many summers either lifeguarding or coaching my local dive team. I'm thinking of teaching as a possible...

Learning is ultimately a self-taught but I'm here to nudge you in the right direction. Asking questions makes the most out of our time and I will do my best to properly explain things easier

I have loved mathematics as long as I remember. I hope that through our interaction you will get to like it more through an increased understanding. I am excited about teaching, building confidence as part of this process and improving your grades.

...of Arts in Comparative Literature, with a GPA of 3.77. Most recently, I completed my Master's of Management at the Rotterdam School of Management, where I obtained a grade of 8.23/10. My undergraduate was primarily focused on literature and philosophy, so I have extensive experience in reading comprehension and composition. I can help you improve in the following: - any academic essay at any level, from high school to Master - any college application essay...

...opposed to learning simply by base memorization. I do this because when a student's focus is solely on memorization, they often quickly forget the material due to time or stress. However, the skills one gains from learning how to think through problems are much more stable and flexible. This flexibility allows for those skills to be used in multiple subjects, and towards more advanced learning. Now, a little about me. In the future, I plan...

...and accommodating learning environment. I have worked with students of all ages and have learned first hand that everyone learns differently. I guide students so that they can tackle concepts that they may have been struggling with in the past. I have a vast Mathematical background, I can describe difficult concepts in multiple ways, and find the best way to teach each individual. I am applying to graduate schools to get a Master's degree and...

...this regard, I hold dearly the teaching philosophy that a teacher has to excel in three main domains, specifically that of an instructor, a mentor, and a professional. To enhance the educational experience of students, a teacher in the biological sciences has to possess an exceptional skill in creating the appropriate course sequence to teach complex concepts to students from diverse scientific areas. My love for teaching begun from the time I was a graduate...

...problems people have hard time with. If I am unfamiliar with the concept, I am always trying to at least look over some notes and figure things out on my own to help out as much as I can. My main goal for tutoring, is to provide people with more than one way of explaining a single problem. I want to make sure that I am able to make sense with my words and make...

At the core, I love learning and find it fun. In teaching, I try to convey that sense of fun to my students. I use a variety of techniques depending on my student's learning style, but I always focus on the fun of learning new things.... In a first session with a student, I would introduce the basic concepts and core questions of the subject, and determine my student's learning style in order to plan future...
