Award-Winning Summer Tutors serving Newton, MA

...which we access and make beautiful through literature. I have always enjoyed making these subjects as fun for my students to learn as they are for me to teach. My goal in teaching is to foster in my students a fiery curiosity, and enthusiasm for learning and critical thinking, and confidence in asking questions. In my free time, I enjoy making music (I play the piano, flute, and guitar!), visiting art museums, and yoga.... I strive...

...writing. In my experience helping students who take an interest in learning Chinese and Chinese culture, I always found that learning and teaching can happen to both the tutor and the client. I also found that helping students construct their academic or application essays is a good chance for me to know my client and to help the client build a better academic future. I am a believer of "Education can change people and society"....

...could. During my college years, I tutored in math and science at an after school program at an elementary school. I also tutored at a high school for ESL and algebra. After my college years, I taught countless international students in ESL and college level math in both a classroom and a one-on-one lesson. To improve my teaching abilities in ESL and to help those who struggled with English as I once did, I also...

...been passionate about my whole life. I am, however, also comfortable with many other subjects, including french and writing skills. Additionally, I really enjoy helping students prep for standardized testing, particularly the SATs. My tutoring style tends to be a combination of challenging the student to work hard on their skills, along with plenty of encouragement. My goal is to show students how much they can do on their own, even when they feel it...

...all levels, and I am excited to work with a broad range of students through Varsity Tutors. I want to become a high school teacher, but tutoring is something that is so unique in that you get to work with one student and learn their every strength and weakness. I look forward to working with any student who needs my help, and helping them to grow to be the student they want to be!

...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 make learning fun). I give students pointers on how to learn and thrive in an academic setting. Besides science and math I love sports, music (especially the drums),...

...I deviated from a medical school track to pursue a career in the medical device industry. My love for math and science started around middle school, and I was strongly influenced by my teachers. Through tutoring, I hope to be a similar influence. I really enjoy working with students of all ages (elementary to grads!) In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, hiking, and volunteering at the Animal Rescue League in Boston.... I'd like to get...

I believe every student has the potential to achieve great academic success. It is my goal to help my tutees realize their own abilities and develop a curiosity for learning along the way!

...Prior to BC, I received my graduate degree and training in Education from Harvard University. I have six years of teaching experience at the middle and high school levels, and I specialize in working with struggling students and students with learning/developmental disabilities. I make it a priority to meet my students where they are in their academic progress, and to work with them to set short-term and long-term goals. I prioritize working to develop logical...

...trained teachers, taken academic courses, and worked with education policy. Half of learning is understanding the material, and the other half is understanding yourself and how you need to relate to the material. I think a well rounded, successful student needs to focus on both aspects in order to be prepared for a lifetime of learning, and I'd love to help each and every student in their pursuit of that "lightbulb" moment.... I believe the true...

...film studies; I plan to eventually pursue a PhD in English Literature. I tutored for three of my four years as an undergraduate in the Roth Writing Center located at my alma mater. As a writing center tutor I helped students of various skill levels promote clarity and eliminate ambiguity in their writing. Additionally, I have helped students develop close reading strategies across the humanities, particularly in the area of U.S. History, one of my...

...people, and I do so whenever I can. I am a very outgoing and friendly person, which translates well to working with students. I do my best to understand where the student is coming from and work from there. Currently, I am a student at Northeastern University, but I also work with people with disabilities in a marketing setting. I can tutor Math, Science and English, and I would love to help you anyway that...

...I have taken my own initiative to teach several original lessons at my old high school. With this background and experience combined, I make a great tutor! By getting to know my clients' educational goals and interests, I provide instruction that is both comprehensive and engaging. The more a student interacts with content in ways that suit their personal learning style, the better they will recall the information in the future - especially come test...

...that determines mastery over a topic is how well the subject matter is presented. Also, not all students learn in the same style. Hence, I am always conscious of the manner in which I present topics to students. Most importantly, learning should be fun. There is nothing more euphoric than the thrill of discovering new knowledge and achieving proficiency. I keep these principles in mind when outlining a lesson plan and I am confident that...

I am passionate about empowering others to not only reach academic progress, but also gain a greater self-confidence through encouraging, patient tutoring. I am a middle school school STEM teacher seeking additional students to help in my out-of-work hours. Finally, I am a Cornell University alum and am confident in my ability to teach students in a range of fields -...... I believe in empowering every student, no matter the age or ability. I am a...

...for this particular student. My favorite subjects to tutor include writing and editing, whether we're working on a research paper, a college application essay, or reviewing grammar; public speaking; SAT prep; and study skills and organization, because each of these areas boosts overall academic success and builds a student's self-confidence. In any subject, I focus on study skills, critical thinking, and independent concept reinforcement so that soon the student will no longer need me to...

...help them understand that work and to enjoy and appreciate the value of the particular work. These connections might include comparing the work that a student is struggling with to their own interests, such as their favorite genre of music, movies, or television, to help them better understand and relate to what they are reading and/or writing about. I have also helped students prepare for the ELA portion of standardized tests such as the SAT...

...Massachusetts-Boston. I teach Marketing at Bentley University, Clark University, and UMass-Boston. I tutor subjects across the entire spectrum: sciences and math, Spanish, and also writing, English and social studies. In my tutoring I like to utilize a practical learning style where we use real-life examples. Sometimes I include other forms of media in my teaching which makes it a lot more fun (and relevant). Outside of academic I am a volunteer with various rare disease...

...need to be challenged and overcome myself. Engineering challenged me alright; it proved to be quite rough but rewarding nevertheless. My curiosity on how the world around us works drove me. This engineering path also gave me the opportunity to participate in my first internship. Last June through August 2014, I had the opportunity to work as a Facilities Mechanical Intern for CH2M Hill; there, I discovered that I am great working with others and...
