Theodora

Abstract Algebra Tutor • +16 Subjects

I am a graduate of Emory University, where I received a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I then received a Master of Science from Johns Hopkins University where I focused on Biotechnology. I am currently pursuing my M.D. in Boston, MA. During my time in graduate school, I tutored middle school and high school students in science and math. I love tutoring science, especially health sciences as I am in school to become a physician. I also enjoy teaching math and I find it to be one of the most rewarding subjects to watch a student grow to understand. Throughout my academic career, I have taken the SAT, GRE, and MCAT so I am especially passionate about test preparation.

Zachary

American Literature Tutor • +25 Subjects

Hi there! My name is Zach. I'm a PhD at Harvard studying German philosophy and classics (Greek and Latin). Next year, I will be starting law school to pursue my professional passion, tax law. I am deeply committed to the language and LSAT skills I've developed and I love to tutor students of all levels in these subjects. I can't imagine a life without teaching. My favorite part of teaching is helping students come to love -- or at least appreciate -- the details that make up complex subject matters. My favorite moment with any student is when the student realizes how fascinating a subject matter is after really mastering all of the "dry" details. When my students start internalizing the LSAT or languages I am teaching them, I know I am doing my job.I graduate summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from CUNY Macaulay Honors College in New York City, and started teaching undergraduate and graduate classes during my last year there. At Harvard, I have earned the Derek Bok Certificate for Excellence in Teaching three separate times. I have taught students as young as 14 and as old as 85.German: I studied abroad in Osnabrck, Lower Saxony and Berlin, where I earned my C2 certificate (near-native proficiency) in German. While in Germany, I took classes, taught in German, on Greek and Latin philology. I have taught beginning, intermediate, and advanced German at both regular and intensive paces at Harvard and CUNY.Greek and Latin: I am standing faculty at the Greek/Latin Institute, a famously intensive classical languages boot camp in New York City. I have taught students from all around the world and at all ages there. I have also taken all of the most advanced Greek and Latin coursework at Harvard.I studied comparative literature (French, Italian, and English) as an undergrad alongside my studies of classics. For my masters degree, I had to pass a three-part exam at Harvard on the history of German literature. My knowledge of literature is broad and deep!I earned a 174 on the LSAT (99th percentile).Ready to get to work and dive into the weeds? Want to know more about what working together would look like? I would love to hear from you.

Sheridan

Algebra Tutor • +14 Subjects

I am a graduate from University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) with a degree in Biology. I am currently pursuing my Doctoral of Dental Medicine degree from Harvard School of Dental Medicine (HSDM). During my time at UMBC, I served as a teaching assistant in chemistry and biology classes ranging from introductory biology to more advanced courses that I had previously taken. I also served as a tutor in my time at UMBC a wide variety of subjects in the science categories. In my time at HSDM, I have served as a tutor for Mission Crimson, where I was paired one-on-one with a 5th grader whom I helped with reading, math, and English skills in preparation for a standardized exam. I enjoy all subjects that I tutor, and I am very passionate about teaching and helping others think critically about ways to approach problems. I am passionate about helping others improve their performance, I am interested in strategies the tutee has previously used, and I am interested in other strategies the tutee is willing to try. In my spare time I enjoy listening to music, bird watching, and hiking with friends.

Maedeh

ACT Prep Tutor • +34 Subjects

I graduated from MIT with a degree in Brain and Cognitive Sciences, and I love using my skills and experiences to help empower others to reach their goals! My teaching philosophy is holistic, so I modify my style based on the individual while being patient and empathetic along the way. There are a number of different reasons why someone might not be improving in a certain subject, so I try to learn more about students so we can troubleshoot and empower them to take an active role in understanding what is and isn't working for them. I have experience tutoring a variety of STEM subjects for students of various ages and backgrounds and have experience using different methods to improve standardized test scores.

ACT Prep Tutor • +42 Subjects

I am an undergraduate student at Boston University studying in the Seven Year Liberal Arts/Medical Education Program (BSMD). I was a National AP Scholar, US Presidential Scholar Nominee, and in the top 5% of my class. Additionally, I worked as an intern in a graduate-level biochemistry lab researching the metabolically reversed reduction of aldehydes to alcohols.I have 3 years of experience tutoring as an NHS Officer in a wide array of subjects. Additionally, I am experienced in the college applications process, including the drafting/editing of personal statements and school-specific essays.I believe that, with persistence and grit, students can develop an extremely solid foundation of learning that can aid them in tests and everyday life. I definitely stress practice problems and problem solving in my approach, however I am open and flexible to feedback and adjustment. As a tutor, I hope to aid students in attaining their full academic potential!Besides academics, I also enjoy spending time with friends, performing piano (especially classical and jazz), and composition.

Molly

10th Grade Reading Tutor • +71 Subjects

I am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Children's Literature and a Master of Science in Library and Information Science at Simmons College (Boston, MA). I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from Agnes Scott College (Atlanta, GA) with a double-major in English Literature and Classical Civilizations. At Agnes Scott, I worked for three years in the Center for Writing and Speaking, where I discovered my love of helping students express their ideas through writing. Since then, I have worked primarily with elementary school students, including a year of assisting in a first grade classroom in Austria. I tutor many subject areas related to English, Reading, Writing, and German. My passion is reading and inspiring a love of words and literature in students. I believe that strong reading skills are fundamental to engaging with the world around us and open up new worlds for our imaginations. Outside of academics, I enjoy traveling, learning new languages, and participating in community theater.

Elizabeth

Algebra Tutor • +17 Subjects

I graduated from Northeastern University with a BS in computer engineering. While at Northeastern, I tutored college level physics and math as a CRLA Level 2 tutor.When I began my courses at Northeastern, I could not have been more thankful for all of the teachers and mentors who helped me to become the student I am today. The extra time I took to solidify my understanding of certain topics has been so helpful, providing a strong base on which I continue to build.I love learning and hope to help students find and build on passions for academic subjects that can be so fun to work with. Personally, math has been my favorite subject since elementary school and continues to be a topic that I love. Through the years, academic learning continues to build on itself. I believe that it is important to help students ensure that they have a solid grasp on what they are learning now so that they can add to it in the future and see how far their studies can take them.As STEM fields continue to grow in importance, there is a sharper focus on math-related subjects. While these areas of study are critical, one cannot forget about other subjects that help students become well-rounded. For me, my focus is on practicing good grammar and learning how to communicate well. Others won't know of your great inventions if you don't know how to share your ideas and explain them well.

Michael

Algebra Tutor • +35 Subjects

I have a Bachelor of Science from the University of Washington in Biochemistry and Economics. I am also a first year medical student at the Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston. I have extensive experience with premedical classes and have taken and tutored the MCAT exam. I placed in the 97th percentile of the MCAT exam and I understand what the test takers want students to know and how to bridge the gap between knowing the material and doing well on the test. I am always excited when a student finally has that "ah-ha" moment and declares that they now can see how all of these seemingly separate scientific topics are actually all related. The MCAT no longer seems scary, but turns into a means of truly learning this material and providing a strong foundation for the future.I also have extensive experience in the concepts and mathematics behind many economic topics. I have tutored in all of the premedical science subjects and have provided group review sessions as well as individualized help. I love helping students finally make connections with the material and become excited about learning again.Regardless of your starting level, I will work hard to help you achieve your goals. Even if there is something I don't know the answer to, I will do what is necessary to find that answer for you and help make it clear. I focus on not only teaching the material, but also helping students think critically. Focusing on learning techniques and expanding one's toolbox is the most important way to tackle unforeseen problems.The biggest challenge I find students have is bridging the gap between what they already know and what is expected on an exam. Sometimes students get discouraged after studying for a long time with little results on their grades. This is understandably frustrating and is often times not a measure of deficiency in knowledge but an incorrect application of test preparation. Therefore, I focus not only on reviewing concepts and problems, but also on strategies for test taking success. This includes developing critical thinking skills and ways to synthesize material from multiple sources to help you truly understand the topic from multiple angles. This will help boost your confidence and help you retain more information by making it relevant to your academic achievement. Not only that, but this technique will help you truly learn the material and will hopefully be a transformative process, rather than an obstacle.
