I have always loved Math and Science, and my desire to learn has not yet subsided. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Biology, and a Doctorate in Biochemistry. I enjoy teaching, training, and tutoring students of all levels in Math and Science. Although each student is different, I treat every case with equal conviction and effort from the most humble to the highest aspiring goals. Boredom and frustration are the source of nearly every student's struggles. Consistently my students say I clarify the most complex problems, transforming impossibly tedious and confounding coursework into an exciting and manageable challenge. I do this by relating the latest discoveries and personal anecdotes to the subject matter, making the ancient, esoteric theories tangible and fresh. When I am not reading and writing about science, or planning strategies to make math and science more accessible, I am playing with my dog, watching zombie movies or systematically sampling every slice of pizza in Boston.

I believe that information should be accessible to all people. We live in an interesting but complicated world and I like to be the translator between difficult information and those who want the information. I actually won second place in a Lecture Competition where we were judged on how well we were able to breakdown difficult engineering projects and explain them to non-engineering students and professionals. It was at this point that I learned I loved the process! I have worked as an engineer and also as a college professor (10 yrs.)Before working, I got both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Florida (Go Gators!) I also took Doctorate Level courses in Educational LeadershipI tutor most science and math course from Chemistry to Calculus to Physics. I love Geometry, Algebra, and Chemistry! I think these courses are the building blocks for all the more complicated courses. And I believe if you can understand these courses, you can build up to understand most everything. For me, learning this information has helped me simply this complicated world and makes everyday life easier for my brain to take in.My teaching philosophy is pretty simple. Everyone can connect to the information, but it is my job to figure out how. This is why I love math and science...it surrounds us everyday!Outside of teaching and/or taking courses, I love to visit family, hike, and travel as much as possible.

I am currently a second year medical student. In college, I studied biology, chemistry, physics, and Spanish with a biology major and chemistry minor. I also spent 6 weeks studying Spanish in Ecuador. I really enjoy helping others learn Spanish, and my second favorite subject would be any sort of biology or related topic. I hope to help you reach your goals by helping you work through the learning process rather than just giving answers, and hopefully we can make it interesting and even fun!

AP French Tutor • +39 Subjects
An African man once said "If you want people to understand you, speak their language." I am fluent in 3 and a half languages. The reason why I say 3 and a half instead of 4 it is because the fourth one is not practiced as much as I would love to. Born and raised in Haiti (Central America), I automatically grew up bilingual speaking both Haitian Creole and French. At the age of 8 I was already proficient in English, by the age of 12 I was introduced to Spanish. In 2007, my family decided to move to America due to political problems. Adjusting to the American culture took me some time, but I quickly understood it because I already spoke the language. Foreigners I encountered throughout my path in life were always eager to speak to me because I understood them in a way that others did not simply because I spoke their language. The power of understanding someone else's language is amazing and can build lifetime relationships. I am here today to help you speak my language so you can understand me and my culture better.

I recently graduated from Bard College at Simon's Rock with a BA in Physics and Visual Studies. My research areas in Physics include quantum optics and geophysics, particularly about entanglement and the Earth's inner core, respectively. My focus in Visual Studies is lens arts and film studies with a strong lean towards formalism. The two disciplines may seem very unrelated to you, but it is the combination of the two that makes me a great student and teacher! A few fun facts about my college experience: I actually finished high school in 3 years and began college a year earlier than usual, and I studied abroad in Scotland (University of Glasgow) and the Czech Republic (Film Academy of Prague) during my junior year!My teaching experience include peer tutoring during my college years, working with both individual students and entire classes on college-level physics, math, and Spanish. Just after receiving my BA, I designed and taught my first full course on Climate Change at the 10th grade level. We covered all sorts of material, including the Physics and Chemistry of the atmosphere and ocean, all the way to a Model UN simulation to discuss global policies!I am moving onto a PhD program in Physics at Northeastern University, but I hope to continue to teaching throughout and after the program. I love helping students reach their potential. The pride and joy of watching my students come to an understanding with new concepts, develop a love for new disciplines, and find passion for learning -- it is the most beautiful thing I have experienced. And it's all thanks to you, the amazing, bright, and motivated students!
Andrew
ACT English Tutor • +12 Subjects
I recently graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelor's of Science in Marketing and a passion for teaching others! I have five years experience working as a program aide for an elementary school and two years experience tutoring high school students. When it comes to tutoring my motto is "Show don't Tell!" and I believe that any student has the opportunity to do better with the right resources and attitude. I can help with most math and english ranging from elementary to high school as well as ACT test prep. I especially like helping with essays (providing I have read the book or material it is based on). My biggest interests outside of tutoring are beach volleyball and comedy, but I also love reading, and I even occasionally DJ.

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +16 Subjects
I have an undergraduate degree from Georgetown University and a graduate degree from Boston College. I received my Bachelor of Arts from Georgetown with a major in History and a minor in Government. I focused on both U.S. and Middle Eastern history at Georgetown, and was invited to write an Honors thesis for the History department my senior year. After graduating from Georgetown, I began my studies at Boston College where I received a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction. I am now a history teacher at a public school in Massachusetts, where I teach U.S. History I and II, as well as Modern U.S. History. Not surprisingly, my favorite subject to teach and to tutor is History. I am most passionate about the history of the U.S. since 1945, but as I am sure most of my students will attest, I truly do find the history of any nation or time period fascinating. I also enjoy teaching and tutoring for the SATs and other standardized exams, in part because I believe that any student can improve once he or she knows how to study, and most importantly, how to build the endurance to take a standardized test as lengthy as the SAT. I approach the SATs much in the same way that I approach running – if unit tests in school are one-mile warm-ups, then the SAT is a marathon. With the right training (and dedication), I firmly believe that any student can improve. I have taught SAT prep classes in a variety of capacities. I worked for a major SAT prep company while in graduate school, and also piloted my district’s SAT prep course (which I designed the curricula for). I take a collaborative approach to teaching, and both in the classroom and one-on-one, I believe that the best way for a student to learn material is to move beyond recall and work toward synthesis and analysis for complete understanding. When I’m not teaching or tutoring, I love to read history books (especially those about Robert Kennedy), run (long distances – in all types of weather), and travel. The most incredible place I have been is Tanzania – if I hadn’t packed three massive Teddy Roosevelt biographies in my suitcase, I definitely would have brought home many more souvenirs.

I believe that education should be a diverse, student-focused, lifelong pursuit. I earned a BS in Economics and a minor in Film and Media studies from the University of Rochester, and am always seeking out new learning opportunities in my post graduate life. Through participation in a volunteer tutoring program on weekends, I discovered the satisfaction of helping students reach their potential. I've found that any student can enjoy learning when it's catered to their learning style and needs. A strong education can be a path not only to academic success, but also personal growth. Students aren't just learning science or writing, they're learning confidence, independence, and good habits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sports, Exercise and Health Science is a specialized IB subject that combines physiology, biomechanics, psychology, and nutrition into one integrated course. While biology focuses on general cellular and genetic concepts, and PE emphasizes physical activity, SEHS requires you to understand why the body responds the way it does during exercise and how to apply that knowledge to real-world health scenarios. This means mastering both theoretical concepts (like VO2 max and energy systems) and practical applications (like training programs and injury prevention), which requires a different study approach than traditional science classes.
Students typically struggle with three main areas: (1) integrating multiple disciplines—you need to connect physiology, psychology, biomechanics, and nutrition rather than treating them separately; (2) applying theory to practice—exams expect you to analyze real training scenarios and health problems using scientific principles; and (3) data interpretation—understanding VO2 max tests, lactate threshold graphs, and body composition analysis requires comfort with scientific data. Personalized tutoring helps because a tutor can identify which specific concepts are holding you back and teach you how to make those critical connections between topics.
Personalized tutoring targets your specific knowledge gaps rather than reviewing everything uniformly. A tutor can pinpoint whether you struggle with energy system concepts, biomechanical analysis, or exam technique, then design focused lessons around those areas. They can also teach you how to structure extended response answers to earn full marks on essay questions, practice interpreting unfamiliar data sets, and work through past papers under timed conditions with immediate feedback—all tailored to your learning pace and style, which research shows accelerates progress far more than classroom instruction alone.
The best SEHS tutors combine two things: (1) deep subject expertise—they understand the IB curriculum requirements, common misconceptions, and how to teach complex concepts like the sliding filament theory or training adaptations clearly; and (2) practical experience—ideally they've studied exercise science, worked in fitness or healthcare, or coached athletes, so they can connect theory to real examples that make concepts stick. They should also be skilled at explaining why things work physiologically, not just memorizing facts, and comfortable working through data analysis and extended response essay writing.
Most students see measurable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent, focused tutoring—typically one or two sessions per week—especially if they're addressing specific weak topics like energy systems or biomechanics. However, if you're aiming for a significant grade jump (like moving from a 5 to a 7), expect 2-3 months of regular sessions combined with consistent independent practice. The timeline depends on your starting point, how frequently you tutor, and how actively you apply what you learn to practice questions and past papers between sessions.
Energy systems (aerobic vs. anaerobic pathways and lactate threshold) and biomechanics (levers, force analysis, and muscle actions) are the most commonly challenging topics because they require both mathematical understanding and spatial visualization. Many students also struggle with the Internal Assessment component—designing and analyzing a valid exercise experiment while controlling variables. Additionally, integrating psychology concepts (like motivation and mental preparation) with physiological adaptations often trips up students who tend to compartmentalize their learning. A tutor can break these topics into digestible pieces and show you how they connect to exam questions.
IB SEHS builds a strong foundation in exercise physiology, biomechanics, and research methods that directly transfer to university programs in sports science, exercise physiology, physical therapy, nursing, or related health fields. The course teaches you how to think scientifically about human performance—analyzing data, designing experiments, and solving real-world health problems—which are exactly the skills you'll need at university. If you're planning to study health-related fields, scoring well in SEHS demonstrates both content knowledge and the analytical thinking required for advanced study, making you a stronger applicant.
