Award-Winning Middle School Tutors
serving Boston, MA

Before graduating from Notre Dame, Rebecca spent time tutoring local middle school students in reading and writing, specifically preparing them for standardized tests. She knows how to break down reading comprehension passages and teach paragraph structure at a level that clicks for students still building those foundational skills. That hands-on experience with younger learners sets the tone for her patient, structured approach.

Studying both biology and computer science at Northeastern means Eunice toggles between lab reports, coding assignments, and dense reading every day — a rhythm that mirrors what middle schoolers face when they're bouncing between math homework, a science quiz, and an English essay in a single evening. Her 35 ACT and experience tutoring ESL students in reading and writing give her genuine range across subjects, and her programming background adds a structured, step-by-step approach to problem-solving that clicks especially well when a student is stuck on multi-step math or organizing a written argument. Rated 5.0 by families.

Middle schoolers are juggling new expectations from every direction — longer essays, pre-algebra concepts, independent research projects — often without anyone teaching them how to manage it all. Allison covers both the academic content and the organizational skills underneath it, whether that means untangling fractions or outlining a five-paragraph essay for the first time. Rated 4.8 by students, she keeps sessions structured without making them feel like more school.

I am a current first-year honors student at Northeastern University pursuing a B.A. in Political Science and a B.A. in History, Culture, and Law. I am a youth activist and have experience working for campaigns and elected officials and am particularly passionate about mental health, climate change prevention, and LGBTQ+ rights. I have done private tutoring for the past three years with students in Elementary, Middle, and High School in a variety of school subjects including but not limited to Math, History, and Writing/Grammar. I am passionate about education and want to use my skillset and knowledge to help other students achieve their best selves. I'm from Denver, Colorado, and currently live in Boston and love to read, watch sitcoms and, of course, tutor my students.

I'm a proud graduate of Cornell University (B.A. in Psychology, 2011) and William James College (M.A. in Psychology, 2014). I have founded my own business as a Productivity Coach, specializing in executive functioning and motivation. I also enjoy helping students learn with tutoring! My background means I am well suited to clients with test anxiety, and other psychological factors that interfere with academic potential. I have experience working with clients with ADD/ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder.

I am a senior at MIT majoring in Writing with a specialization in Digital Media. I have also completed a minor in Business Management. As one of ten writing majors at a school full of people pursuing science and technology rather than humanities subjects, I have taken a default position as tutor for anyone struggling with any writing assignments. I have helped fellow college students on a wide variety assignments ranging from analytic papers on race in the media, to papers on scientific theories, to scholarship essays. In high school I was a Link Crew tutor for three years, making myself available for tutoring sessions after school for whatever subject students required help in.

I'm a recent college graduate from the University of Chicago and young professional based in Washington, DC, and currently working in international development. I have substitute taught STEM and English to all levels of college-preparatory high schoolers. I also established a peer-to-peer tutoring and mentoring program at my former high school and developed curricula centered around standardized test preparation and college admissions. In college, I coordinated outreach to promising underrepresented minority students, developing and implementing seminars designed to guide them through the admissions process for top universities, bolster their chances of success, and connect them with resources aimed at increasing access and affordability. Among other things, I have a strong background and experience in various types of academic and professional writing. My stints with college classes and all sorts of professional organizations have equipped me with foundational skills in technical writing, strategic communication, blogging, and journalism that I'm always excited to pass on to the next generation of academic superstars!

I am a graduate of Dartmouth College, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in English and minored in Education, and Stanford University, where I earned a Master of Arts in Education with a focus on 8-12th grade English Language Arts. Since graduation, I have been working in a private Catholic school in Cambridge, Massachusetts, teaching English primarily to 9th and 10th graders students. I also teach a course on Creative Writing, which is open to all students and examines how to craft a compelling narrative in any medium, including college essays and fiction. As a learner and an educator, I have always been most passionate about reading and writing because I believe each student should have the tools to critically examine and better the world around them. I firmly believe that every person is a lifelong learner with strengths to build upon and areas to improve in, and I have committed myself to supporting scholars in that learning process.

I am currently working on my PhD in English Literature at Southern Methodist University. I specialize in the intersection between ancient texts and Christianity as it is evident in Renaissance literature. During my MA I worked as a teacher's assistant, learning teaching strategies from many distinguished professors. Students met with me one on one to discuss assignments, work on papers, and review for tests. During these years I had the opportunity to work with several ESL students and students with disabilities. Being deaf in my right ear gives me a unique perspective when working with students struggling with disabilities because I have fought those battles myself, albeit to a smaller degree than some. I firmly believe that disabilities should never stand in the way of learning.

I am a 2019 graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, where I received a dual degree BFA in Vocal Performance and BA in Creative Writing. I also achieved a GPA of 3.92, 3 semesters on the Dean's List, induction into Phi Beta Kappa as well as Sigma Tau Delta (the English honors society) and Pi Kappa Lambda (the Music honors society), Carnegie Mellon University Honors, and Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences Honors. I graduated Bloomfield Hills High School with a 3.96 GPA in 2015, and was a National Merit Finalist as well as a Presidential Scholarship candidate, thanks to my top test scores.

I am a fourth year student at Harvard Medical School, and will start working as a pediatrician in July of 2016. However, if I had not decided to become a physician, I would have strongly considered becoming a teacher. Teaching is one of the most enjoyable activities I do, and I have taught in some capacity every year for the past ten years. I have taught subjects ranging from English to algebra, from physics to dance, and have taught students ranging in age from toddlers to adults. I have also provided advice on application essays, resumes, and interview strategies for Harvard College students applying to highly competitive scholarships. Each of these experiences has taught me how to communicate concepts in clear and engaging ways. For instance, while tutoring adolescents enrolled in the Boston-based Artists for Humanity program, I would often teach students whom I had never worked with before, and thus became adept at quickly discovering and implementing the strategies that worked best for a particular student (e.g., visual/tactile examples, analogies, and breaking down complex problems into smaller parts). While tutoring a janitorial staff member in preparation for the mathematics portion of her GED high school equivalency exam, I learned how to quickly identify the highest yield topics for a standardized exam and focus our efforts on those. Each of these experiences has been incredibly rewarding, and has inspired me to teach in some capacity throughout my career as a doctor.

I am also a fan of Super Smash Bros. Melee if you're into that.

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.

I am a second-year undergraduate at Boston University, majoring in computer science. Currently, I tutor High School English, Middle School English, Middle School Math, Computer Science, and SAT Math, Reading, and Writing. My past experiences include working with elementary, middle, and high school students. I've served individuals online and in-person as a former Student Leader at my high school, a classroom assistant at an academic summer program, and a weekly tutor for the past four years. My philosophy is that teaching is about adapting to a student's needs, learning preferences, and goals. I actively seek feedback to improve and welcome constructive criticism; furthermore, I prioritize helping individuals meet their objectives most efficiently and effectively. Outside of academia, I love to read, volunteer, and spend time with friends.

I'm definitely a people person, patient, and interested in helping others to succeed!

I am currently living and 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.

I am confident that I can help ease the process for other students and even make it fun along the way!

I am very dedicated to being patient and working with each student to make sure they understand what they are doing and so they are able to be less stressed. I have been tutoring math for many years and am looking forward to meeting you and/or your student. (Just a heads up - I recently got a hair cut so my photo doesn't reflect my current hairstyle)

I am a graduate of the University of Virginia, where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Global Public Health. After college, I went on to get my Masters of Science in Biomedical Science at Tufts University School of Medicine. I am currently applying to medical school and hope to matriculate next fall. In the past, I have tutored middle school geometry and worked as a peer tutor in a college level introductory biology lab. I have an extensive background in biology and am passionate about healthcare. I hope to share my love of science and education with my students. I understand how stressful certain classes can be, and I will break down complex topics to make them more approachable. Outside of the classroom, I work as a medical scribe and enjoy reading, running, and listening to music.

I am a graduate of Boston University (BU) as of 2012, and I recently graduated from Tufts University in 2014. I have received my Bachelors of Science in Biomedical Engineering from BU, and I have earned my Masters of Science degree in the same field at Tufts. I currently work as a research scientist in Cambridge studying therapies for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease. My tutoring experience stems from my involvement in the National Honor Society at Xaverian Brothers High School where I tutored Freshman and Sophomore classes in our mathematics and science, specifically Algebra, Calculus and Biology. Furthermore, after being inducted in the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society at BU, I led tutoring sessions specifically geared to Engineering principles such as mechanics, physics, and mathematics. As an engineer, my favorite subjects to study are High School to College Mathematics as well as the Sciences (Physics, Chemisty, Biology) because it gives the mind a great workout! I am a generally upbeat and motivated individual which is essentially translated to my tutoring strategies; if you can somehow make the subject engaging, the more chances the student will want to learn the material! I enjoy that "A-ha!" moment when the student fully and finally understands a concept! In my spare time, I am a competitive ballroom dancer, theater aficionado and a scientific researcher in biomedical engineering!

I am a current undergraduate student at Northeastern University working towards a pharmacy degree, while minoring in Biology and Chinese. I first started tutoring in high school through peer tutoring, working with students younger than me and tutoring them in subjects that I had excelled in. Besides helping them in purely academic subjects like Chemistry or Math, I also gave them tips to study better and other organizational skills, which help in daily life as well. I really enjoy working with students and working with them towards their goals, both academically and personally. I believe anyone can succeed as long as they are interested and are willing to put in the time and effort. When I work with students, I try to break down different problems into smaller chunks, and work through these smaller bits to understand the big picture. I know how frustrating it is to not understand something, and I try to work with each student to figure out their strengths and weaknesses. I think the most rewarding thing is when you see the student go "aha!" and understand something they have been struggling with, it really gives both of you a feeling of satisfaction and relief. Outside of school, I like to do ballroom dancing while drinking way too much coffee.

I am an educator in the Boston area with a strong background in reading, writing, and middle and elementary math.

I am currently a Junior at Boston University majoring in Medical Sciences and minoring in Psychology. I am in the Seven Year Liberal Arts/Medical Education program with Boston University School of Medicine. I greatly enjoy teaching others and assisting students in their academic journeys. I have tutoring experience in the past with peer and younger students in subjects such as Writing, Math, and Science. I have a great foundation in these areas and hope to share my knowledge with others!

I am a postdoctoral research fellow at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School where I am continuing to perform biomedical research. When I am not in the lab, you can find me exploring historical sites and hiking outdoors.

I'm Emma! I'm excited at the possibility of becoming your tutor! Let's see if we would make a good match

I am a recent graduate from Emerson College. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Creative Writing with a focus on fiction. In addition, I minored in psychology and photography. I am experienced in academic and personal essay writing as well as fiction and poetry.

I am an upbeat and creative teacher and tutor with experience teaching subjects across the arts and humanities! Need help organizing an essay, or writing a college application? Struggling to differentiate early Christianity and Judaism? Iambic Pentameter making you crazy? Missed the lesson on the sociological perspective? Let's chat! I studied Religion and Theatre at Wellesley College and took classes in Literature, Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology, History, Dramatic Theory, and more! I have a special place in my heart for Shakespeare, and my favorite quote of his is "Let the sky rain potatoes!"

I am currently a law student at Northeastern University School of Law. I am a graduate of Miami University. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Women's Studies. After graduation, I completed two years of national service in AmeriCorps as a literacy tutor. I tutored adults in ESL and GED Math. I continued as an ESL instructor for three additional years. I have worked with basic phonics and reading through TOEFL prep and editing college level essays. I love languages, so my favorite subjects to tutor are English and Spanish. However, I tutor a wide range of subjects including math and standardized test prep including the LSAT. I am a proponent of trying to find a learning style that works for the student because we all learn differently and need to see material in different ways. In my spare time, I like reading fiction, knitting, and watching movies.

I am currently majoring in Biomedical Engineering at Boston University, under the Presidential Scholars Distinction Program. My hobbies include playing sports such as Soccer, Basketball, Football, Tennis and Track and Field. I also love playing the guitar in my spare time and love spending time with my family and friends. Further, I love learning about new cultures and languages; I am able to speak three languages fluently.

I am very excited to work with varsity tutors. As the oldest of four children I was always asked to help with homework and studying for exams. I found that I love teaching people how to learn; the light that turns on in a student's brain when they finally grasp a difficult concept is very rewarding. I am passionate about math and sciences, and received my Ph.D. earlier this year in Genetics and Molecular Biology. Throughout my life from a very young age I have been helping peers and mentoring younger students from middle school all the way to medical students. I am excited to help teach the more difficult STEM subjects to those who need it most.

I am a graduate of American University with a B.S in Biology. I will begin my program where I will receive my Masters in Medical Science at Boston University Medical School in the fall. I am originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I began tutoring lower and middle schoolers in English, Maths and Science, and organizational and study techniques. In college, I worked as a supplemental instructor (SI). I held weekly review sessions outside of class and helped students prepare for tests, quizzes, labs, and pending homework assignments. I also worked with students in the local high school and college to develop personal statement ideas, how to write personal statements, and edit them.

I am currently working toward my M.S. in Medical Sciences at Boston University School of Medicine. In college, I worked with a high school student, for his 9th grade year, focusing mostly on his biology and writing assignments. I was a research coordinator at the Marcus Autism center where I worked with very young kids (ages 2-9) with and without learning disabilities. We worked on general school-related skills and any homework they brought. In my master's program, I did a lot of group study. Frequently, this meant teaching a group of my peers who needed to see the material presented in a new way. I love learning and I want to help others love it, too. Throughout my studies, grades never just came easily to me. I was constantly working at getting better and trying to figure out how to solve problems in many different ways. With this type of experience, I want to help other students who may be struggling with a concept to get to a place where they see how fun and rewarding it can be to really understand the material. I tutor a wide variety of topics; however, my favorites are biology and anatomy. Biology is so exciting for me because it is the foundation for all of life, and helps us understand the world we live in. Anatomy is great because you are living in your own cheat sheet (your body)! When I am tutoring, I want to hear or see my students' thought processes. It's great if you can get to the right answer, but truly learning means knowing how you got there. So, I love having my students teach the concepts back to me. Outside of school, I play slow-pitch softball and I love to cook and bake.

I am a freshman at Northeastern University. I am currently studying Psychology on a Pre-Med track. Even though my studies are heavily science-based, I enjoy all other subjects, as well. I tutored in high school as Vice-President of the National Honor Society and I am looking forward to continuing my passion for helping others through tutoring.

I am an engineering student at Northeastern University who loves helping people out with all subjects. Standardized tests are just a game against the clock that we can improve in so many ways.

I'm majoring in Computer Science and Biology at Northeastern University, I like to dance, and my main goal is to help you achieve your goals.

I am an avid skier and outdoorswoman, and a passionate fan of Boston sports. As a tutor, I offer a broad range of scientific subjects, including Physics, Chemistry and Biology, and I am particularly passionate about Biochemistry and Microbiology. I also offer and enjoy test prep, including the SAT and independent school entrance exams such as the ISEE and SSAT. As an educator, I am passionate about helping every student, because I believe that everyone has the potential to succeed in Science and excel on standardized tests. I love the subjects I tutor and I strive to help my students appreciate the value of knowledge so they understand not only the material, but why it is relevant and important in their lives.

I am a second-year Political Science major and Mathematics minor at Northeastern University. I hail from St. Paul, Minnesota, but last year's winter here was still the worst I have ever seen. I am currently a member of the Northeastern Debate Society and International Relations Council, which includes participation in Model United Nations, and a featured columnist for the Northeastern Political Review, a student magazine. I have also previously participated in Mock Trial, Speech, Knowledge Bowl, Theater, and Band, where I played the alto saxophone. Last year, I volunteered as a tutor for SquashBusters in Boston, and I just started volunteering as an extracurricular teacher for Citizen Schools.

I am a research engineer and have 5 years of work experience as an engineer. In addition, I have worked with students throughout high school, college and post-college as a tutor. While I tutor a variety of math and science subjects, I prefer to tutor math. Algebra has always been my favorite subject with chemistry as my second favorite and is what I am most passionate about. I find that it is easiest for students to understand the subject when it is related to something they are interested in outside of the classroom. In my free time, I enjoy playing sports, especially soccer, as well as reading and occasionally running. I am also an avid NY Giants fan.

I am a rising third year student at Northeastern University, studying for a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies and a minor in Music Recording. I have been unofficially tutoring my younger sister for several years, and I first began more seriously tutoring in high school when my friends and peers needed assistance. I am very passionate about singing and songwriting, and hope to make a career out of it one day. I am also passionate about writing, and hope to use my knowledge and skills to help others in their writing and English endeavors: academic or otherwise!

I am a college student looking to help fellow students who are in middle school through high school get to the next stages of their lives. School can get rough, and having someone there to help with any particular subjects or go over and review topics is helpful, and I want to be a part of that process.
