I have spent the past decade working in education as a teacher, new teacher trainer, and tutor. I specialize in English across grade levels and for new learners and writers and test preparation.My goal is build skills and confidence, and make the learning process fun. Please get in touch if interested!

I graduated from Harvard University in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in Neurobiology. I am currently working toward a MD at Loma Linda University. My tutoring experience includes mentoring Christian college students during a 2 year post-graduate program, helping primary school kids with homework in an after-school program, and tutoring my high school sister in various subjects. I enjoy tutoring subjects like English, Writing, Critical Reading, Math, and Science. My favorite subject to tutor is writing because I enjoy helping my students come up with ideas and synthesize them in an essay. In my tutoring sessions, I like to encourage my students to find their own solutions to problems, because I believe that the best learning results from self-discovery. My role as a tutor is that of a guide, one that leads the student on the right path to find the answer. I hope to not only impart understanding of the subject material, but also an appreciation for the subject to all my students. Outside of academics, my hobbies include going to church gatherings, running, and singing.
I am a graduate of Harvard University, where I earned an Ed.M. I am also an alumna of Teach for America and George Washington University. I am a certified teacher and have experience working with students across a wide age range, from kindergarten through high-school. I love reading and writing and excel at teaching in these subjects. I have worked as an editor and have successfully coached a couple dozen students through the college essay writing process. I currently support a Harvard undergraduate in her writing intensive courses. I strive to bring gentleness and compassion to every tutoring session. I enjoy helping a student who may feel anxious or upset about an essay or reading task to feel confident and relaxed. It's wonderful watching the burden lift from their shoulders! Outside of work, I love stargazing, movies of all kinds, astrophysics, jogging, and Dr. Who!
I'm a Harvard graduate applying to graduate schools. I've worked in tech, consulting and academia. I've tutored grades 5-12 for 5+ years. My most recent student went from failing 10th grade geometry to getting perfect scores on her exams.I think it's very important not only to understand the material, but to know how to study. I'm enthusiastic about sharing the learning techniques I've developed with others.
I tutor English (writing, literature), SAT prep, pre-algebra, and algebra. I am a current undergraduate sophomore at Harvard College majoring in biology. I also have some previous tutoring experience and I enjoy working with students. I'm patient, I have high expectations for work, I am passionate about learning, and I am excited to share what I know.
I hold a Master's degree in Finance from Harvard University, where I developed a strong foundation in analytical thinking and problem-solving. With over 2 years of tutoring experience, I specialize in business and finance, and I am passionate about making complex concepts accessible to my students. My teaching approach emphasizes real-world applications and interactive learning, which fosters a supportive environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions and explore their ideas. Witnessing a student's moment of clarity is incredibly rewarding, and it fuels my commitment to education. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy engaging with sports, both as a participant and a spectator, which enriches my perspective and allows me to connect with students on various levels.
Hi! I recently graduated from Harvard College in 2017, with a major in Human Developmental and Regenerative Biology. While an undergraduate, I got my feet wet tutoring in my favorite course, and have been doing it ever since.I really enjoy helping students maximize their potential, and believe that with the right guidance and preparation, there is no limit to what can be accomplished. I have a lot of experience with graduate test prep, specifically the MCAT, and undergraduate entrance exams such as the ACT. Preparing for the MCAT, I have had to master an interdisciplinary approach to scientific inquiry. Even if you're not planning on taking an exam like the MCAT, I hope to be able to teach my students how to draw on the information they know to solve problems.
A Stuyvesant High School alum and recent graduate of Harvard University with a degree in mathematics, I have experience tutoring math, physics, and economics. I have worked as a stockbroker on Wall Street and as an assistant in energy research at both NYU and City College; I am currently applying to PhD programs in applied mathematics. Born and raised in New York by a French mother and American father, I speak French and English bilingually and have traveled extensively in France, Japan, and West Africa. I am also an avid sports fan who played football and rowed crew in school.
Ashleigh is a Harvard graduate with a degree in Visual Arts but an early background in Molecular Biology. In addition to her love of teaching science and even mathematics (algebra to calculus) alongside general SAT prep, Ashleigh can also provide ESL and Russian tutoring to students of all ages and experience. She loves to share stories of her adventures teaching English in Ukraine, building animations and 3D computer Models in Estonia, and working in film festivals in Croatia. If you have a love of the arts, sciences, philosophy, anything! Reach out and see what more you can learn.
I tutor a wide range of subjects, with a background in humanities, arts and math. I've been a language teacher for the past seven years, focusing on "twice exceptional" students, those who are highly gifted and have challenges like autism, executive functioning, and learning disabilities. With master's degrees in both Mathematical Physics and Special Education, I love teaching both advanced subject material and the fundamentals of literacy, organizing, and the whole human that go along with all learning. I often say I work best with folks who "love learning but hate school."I am very flexible with teaching, ethics and focus on student needs, styles and interests. In languages especially, I can bring students to great leaps in proficiency through low-stress, research-backed methods like immersion in "comprehensible input" and learning through stories and cultural material with lots of context.
I graduated from Harvard College with High Honors in Romance Languages and Literatures, having worked mostly on contemporary Brazilian poetry but also having done graduate work in Spanish. After finishing at Harvard, I moved back to the Valley of the Sun to be with my family and started work on a M.S. in Psychology with a focus on Psychology and Law. My current academic interest is how non-native English speakers interact with the justice system here in AZ. Law school is in my futuremore than likelybut I'm enjoying my time at home and getting to explore questions of interest to me.My tutoring expertise lies mostly in the domain of standardized test preparation (SAT, PSAT, ACT, LSAT, GRE, AP). I studied by myself with only the study aids that are available on the market for every standardized test that I teach. While this isn't a great strategy for everyone, I find that my knowledge of the tests and the best study materials/methods is far deeper after having gone through all the work by myself than if I had had help. I know what doesn't work, but more importantly I know what does. It's my job to make your life easier by sparing you all the frustration I experienced!Standardized tests are a game. Working on a graduate degree in Psychology has certainly helped me get into the minds of the psychometricians who make these tests. There are a number of strategies beyond just the test material that I work on with those whom I tutor to ensure their best performance come test day. It is my goal that each of my students believes that he couldn't have performed any better when he finishes the exam. The worst feeling is regretting your performance. With adequate preparation and the right techniques, every student can be proud of how she tested!
I am a sophomore at Harvard University pursuing a concentration in computer science. I'm also interested in potentially going on to law school after my undergraduate studies. I have a wide range of interests but I spend most of my free time either reading, painting, listening to music or dragging my friends to interesting locations to take photographs. My favorite book genre is psychological thrillers and I like listening and singing along to almost all types of music.Through school, I have been successful in many academic endeavors, largely due to the variety of techniques I've learned over the years to help understand information. I've tutored students my age in subjects ranging from essay writing to standardized test preparation to math so those are going to be the primary subjects I plan on tutoring. I've found that often students struggle to understand material not because they are incapable, but because they aren't learning in ways that align with how they think. For example, I find that visual learners like myself like to see things in front of them, whereas auditory learners benefit much more from a verbal explanation. I also think that the most important part of learning is figuring things out by yourself, so my teaching style largely consists of providing support in addition to explanations and challenges that help my students learn to think creatively in order to solve problems.As a recent high school graduate, I understand the pressures associated with standardized test preparation and the importance of tests such as the ACT and SAT. I will be tutoring preparations for both of these as I myself have taken both tests twice and improved my score in addition to helping others improve their own scores.I think learning is an enjoyable process but can often feel tedious due to the straightforward nature of many traditional teaching styles. I hope to make each tutoring session engaging, informative, and enjoyable, ultimately helping you to achieve your academic goals. I look forward to working with you!
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and I am studying social studies with a focus on Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. I have lived my whole life until college in the incredible countries of Rwanda and Kenya (with one year in Egypt). Since education wasn't easily accessible to me through elementary school, very early on I had to learn how to love learning and teach myself. Even after many years of more formal education I haven't lost that spark and that ownership of my education yet! I love tutoring because it allows me to bring people into that same kind of ownership of their knowledge. I love tutoring all sorts of different subjects, but I have the most experience (and maybe the most love) for tutoring in calculus, French, Arabic, English as a second language, and test prep!
I am a graduate of Harvard University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Social Studies with a focus in food policy and law. During my undergraduate studies I spent my time in political organizations and in research, teaching fellowships on political philosophy at Harvard Effective Altruism and serving as a Visiting Researcher in food policy at the University of Cambridge. After graduating, I spent time as a researcher in political science and history and mentored students working towards attending top schools in the US and UK, providing one-on-one help with applications and developing seminars on topics like Sociology and English. Most recently, I have started a non-profit organization in Ecuador focused on educating families about healthy cooking and providing nutritional assistance. At the same time, I am excited to continue pursuing my passion for teaching and helping students navigate subjects like History, English Literature, ESL, Spanish, and Standardized Tests like the ACT, AP, and IB tests. I believe that the knowledge young people receive in primary and secondary education is the ultimate individual enrichment; an essential part of understanding who they are and a key to seeing who they may become. In my spare time, I walk, read history books like Doris Kearns Goodwin's Team of Rivals, and listen to music like Led Zeppelin and Lana del Rey.
I have 15 years experience tutoring students of all capacities. Students who have learning differences are of particular interest and have become a specialty of mine.
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College, currently on leave for the semester. I am a B.A. candidate in mathematics and physics, and I have both professional and academic experience in computer science as well.I am passionate about mathematics, and I have been tutoring students and peers of varying ages and abilities in math for about 7 years now. Further, I was a TA for the AP Calculus AB and BC classes in high school from my sophomore year through senior year. I have a deep interest in logical deduction and the general art of mathematical problem solving; however, it is often easy for busy students and even teachers running behind schedule to allow the reasoning and deduction to fall by the wayside in favor of a memorized algorithm for solving certain problems.Fundamentally, mathematics is an art of deriving new knowledge from what we already know, so my philosophy for teaching and tutoring mathematics is primarily concerned with the "why" of problems. The quadratic formula is useful, but if you cannot derive it, then you do not truly understand it. There are simply too many problems in mathematics to memorize solutions to all of them. Therefore, my goal as a tutor is not to throw new information at you, but rather to equip you with the logical and deductive skills to solve problems on your own, even if you have never seen the problem before.Outside the classroom, I am an amateur composer and musician. I primarily play the piano, but I also recently began to learn the theremin! I also love basically every aspect of computers, and I am especially interested in the blossoming fields of Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing, one of which I hope to research professionally someday.
I'm an upstate NY based tutor, Harvard prefrosh and Interlochen Alumnus. I'm here to make learning simple, engaging, and sometimes (shocking I know) even fun! In all seriousness I think that learning should always be fun, and I'm here to get you there. I am here help out with essays, applications, self presentation, and visual art/drawing. I have a deep love of language, be it comprehension, literature or reading. I also tutor high school Algebra 1 and Geometry.
A Houston native, I studied political science and economics at Harvard University. I currently work in finance in New York. In my free time, I enjoy mentoring and tutoring young people, helping them to reach their full potential. My strengths are reading, writing and languages (French and German), as well as time management skills. I also enjoy teaching math, finding ways to make it fun and easy to understand.I get rave reviews from my students, who appreciate that I am down to earth and attentive to their needs. In my spare time, I run, do yoga, and travel!
I am a recent graduate of Harvard College. I've been working with middle school and high school age children for the past several years and feel very comfortable communicating with students that age. I was a history major in college, but I'd be happy to help out with middle school and early high school math, as well as any help needed with writing or humanities-related courses. Also available for standardized test prep help!
I have a Bachelor of Arts in Evolutionary Biology from Harvard University, where I have taken pre-medical courses along with classes in Sociology, and Women & Gender studies. I am currently applying to medical school. In my spare time, I enjoy watching musicals, singing and playing music, and discovering new restaurants and cafes around Boston.My interest in tutoring started in high school when I tutored freshmen in biology. I also have extensive informal experience in tutoring. Growing up, I have helped each of my younger siblings with their academic problem areas, namely math and science. I would also mentor my peers in high school in various subjects.I believe that the key to achieving academic success in any given subject is to find a study method that works for you. I have had a lot of experience with trial and error myself, and would love to help others personalize their study habits to work for them. By working individually with students and personalizing their study strategies, I would love to empower and educate young minds to succeed academically and motivate them to pursue their long-term goals.
I'm a graduate of Harvard University with a B.A. in Astrophysics and of Texas A&M - Central Texas with an M.S. in Mathematics. I have experience tutoring with the Harvard Summer School in math and astronomy, and I've also tutored math privately. I love math - it's probably my favorite thing in the world, and I love helping others come to love math as well. I'm a firm believer that just because something is difficult does not mean that you should give up, and I work hard to instill that mentality within my students. Additionally, many of my students have asked me for a letter of reference on their college applications, which I have been happy to provide.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I'm eager to help you in whatever way I can! I'm a graduate of Harvard (BA, Social Anthropology) and Columbia (MA, Human Rights) and have spent years tutoring students in a variety of subjects. I'm a firm believer that effective tutoring stems from developing a program that is tailored and highly customized to individual students. I look forward to working with you!
My name is Elliot, and I have been teaching Spanish, French, and English/ESL for several years. I have a BA degree in Spanish Language and Literature from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Masters degree in Spanish Language and Literature from Harvard University. I also have a graduate certificate in Translation from Brandeis University. I enjoy teaching languages to students of all ages and making learning a language a fun and interactive experience. I look forward to tutoring you soon.
I'm a Harvard graduate and a former high school science teacher with Teach for America. I'm in New York studying theater and voice but miss my science classes and students like crazy! I'm particularly strong in biology but also totally comfortable with chemistry, English and writing, social studies/history, and test prep. As a teacher my style is to help students discover the answers on their own, and become more confident in their ability to use critical thinking. When I'm not tutoring you can find me running or playing with my mutt Franklin!
As a Harvard Kennedy School graduate, I bring a strong academic background and a passion for empowering students. My experience as a Peace Corps teacher and public policy and governance expert has honed my ability to simplify complex concepts and adapt lessons to diverse learning styles. I am committed to creating an engaging, supportive environment that fosters curiosity, critical thinking, and confidence. Let's work together to achieve your academic goals!
My academic experiences have spanned many different subjects. I have always loved history and the sciences, particularly chemistry. Despite my love for these subjects, they have not come easily to me always. I know that Chemistry can have a particularly sharp learning curve for students and I worked through that myself, developing study and problem solving techniques that eventually led me to score a 5 on the AP Chemistry exam. History also requires a lot of time and effort, especially with memorization, synthesis, and learning how to craft an argument for historical writing. Given my own experiences with academics and tutoring, I can offer support across a range of subjects including middle and high school math, high school biology and chemistry, and writing and study support in English and History.A little more about me! 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 a graduate of Oberlin College and Wesleyan University and I am currently a PhD student at Harvard University. I received my BA in English, my BM in Jazz Studies, and my MA in Ethnomusicology. My PhD research is in West African music. I have many years of experience as a tutor, beginning as a writing tutor for a college writing center, then giving private music lessons, and working as a teaching assistant for undergraduate students in music and African studies courses. I tutor in many different areas, but my passion is in working with students in writing, literature, critical reading, music, and French. In working to prepare students for standardized tests, I can offer a wide variety of strategies for vocabulary, writing, and time management. As an educator, I am particularly interested in the transitions from high school to college, and from college into the professional world. Outside of teaching, I enjoy playing and listening to music, hiking, playing soccer, and spending time outdoors.
I am a graduate of the Harvard Graduate School of Education where I focused on cognitive and social development. Prior to graduate school I lived for several years in New Orleans where I worked facilitating the college admissions process for low income students as the Director of Student Resources for Bard Early College. I attended Middlebury College for my undergraduate degree where I majored in History. I love the mountains, play the cello, and most importantly, love working one on one with students to help them achieve their goals. At Middlebury I worked at the Center for Teaching and Learning developing individualized study plans for students as well as working with them on their writing. I look forward to meeting you!
I'm a recent graduate of Harvard University and a natural teacher, and I'd be thrilled to help you build your skills, gain academic confidence, and get results! My B.A. is in American history and literature with a minor in theater. I spent my college years producing and directing student theater, writing plays, giving campus tours, and researching and writing my honors thesis on art criticism in New York City in the late 1960s.Since moving to New York, I have continued to hone my playwriting skills. I also work as an apprentice at a theater company currently in residence at the Metropolitan Museum. Eventually, I hope to get my MFA in playwriting and/or my PhD in American Studies. In my free time, I love to cook and read novels.I design each tutoring session to meet student needs, but you always can expect a compassionate and humorous yet progress-driven approach from me. I'll help you break academic goals down into bite-sized, non-intimidating tasks-- my infectious energy has been known to make even the SAT seem fun and manageable. In addition to SAT, SAT II, PSAT, and AP test prep, I am an extremely experienced and capable writer and will help you structure and stylize your college admissions essay or school writing assignment such that your point is as salient and persuasive as possible.
For over four years, Andrew Nguyen lived by the Ranger Creed as a member of the Army's 75th Ranger Regiment 1st Battalion, and he plans to imbue the same ethos in serving as a physician to keep himself mentally alert and morally straight, to shoulder more than his share of whatever task presents itself. From his service, he realized that through a career in medicine, he could be more than just a bystander to suffering he could be in the position to not only reduce unnecessary pain but to also help those affected by conflict and trauma be restored to the fullness of life. Andrew graduated from Yale University in 2022 with a B.S. in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and is currently an M.D. candidate at Harvard Medical School. In crossing from the path of a warrior to that of a healer, he hopes to continue a life of service with the mission to improve the human condition and reduce unnecessary suffering in the world one person at a time.
I completed my PhD in English at Harvard University in 2016 and I have been working with students for over 10 years. I've always enjoyed introducing students to new ideas and helping them achieve their goals. In the following paragraphs I'll share my background, detail my experience and expertise, and discuss what motivates me as a teacher. I will also explain my approach to pedagogy.In 2004 I graduated summa cum laude from Cornell University. The following summer I earned a CELTA certification to teach English as a second language in London. I then worked internationally for four years in Prague, Rome, Brussels, and Milan, teaching students of all ages and backgrounds. I helped hundreds of students score highly on the TOEFL exam and gain admission to top American and British universities. I also helped many students excel on the SAT and GRE verbal exam by helping them extend their vocabulary and develop their analytical reasoning skills.I left Europe when I was accepted to Harvard University's PhD program in English, which I began in 2008. I received my master's degree from Harvard in 2010 and the following fall I began assisting professors with their courses in Harvard College as a doctoral student. I worked closely with some of the best professors in the world and I modeled my unique pedagogy after their example.As a scholar with a traditional background in the liberal arts, I share my mentors' staunch commitment to the humanities and the Socratic method as the best way for young minds to discover their potential and develop critical reasoning skills. There are so many dubious test prep and admissions gimmicks out there, but the fact remains that America's best universities look for a particular kind of candidate, a well-rounded student who can reason confidently and express his or her pattern-breaking ideas with clarity, conviction, and grace. No matter what subject I happen to be teaching, everything I do as an instructor brings students a step closer to this significant achievement, one which will truly help them stand out from the crowd.Last year I worked full time for a veterans' non-profit, helping hundreds of servicemen and women transition from the military and gain admission to competitive American universities. Recently, however, I relocated to the Houston area because my fiancee, who also has a PhD in English, now teaches at a major university here. While I continue my research and work towards publishing my dissertation, I will be accepting students for verbal section test prep for all major standardized tests (SAT, ACT, TOEFL, GRE, LSAT, GMAT, etc.). I am also available for lessons in any humanities related field, from history and literature to philosophy, psychology, cultural studies, and world civilization. My broad experience as a teacher qualifies me to work with students from middle school all the way to the PhD.I look forward to hearing about your personal vision of success and helping you accomplish it!
I believe strong teaching is about helping students build confidence and problem-solving skills rather than simply giving answers. I've been teaching since middle school and have worked as a tutor, taught in high school, and served as a teaching assistant for multiple science and math courses at Harvard University, where I received teaching distinctions each year. I enjoy making difficult concepts feel approachable by breaking them down step by step and adapting to each student's learning style.
Hi there, potential student! My name is Ben, I am a Sophomore at Harvard University studying Sociology and Education, originally from New York City. I've been preparing students for high school and college admissions for over 5 years now, and take an immense amount of pride and joy in my work of getting students to their goal institutions. Along the way, I've helped students improve their performance in a variety of core subject areas, along with boosting scores on the SAT and SHSAT, and college application and essay writing. Hope to be able to serve you the best I can in getting you to where you want to be in your classes and beyond!
Fueled by a genuine passion for education and a mission to make a positive impact on the world, I find immense fulfillment in guiding students on their academic journeys. With a foundation in Social Sciences from Harvard University, a Master's in Human Rights and Democratisation, a background in LSAT preparation and classroom teaching, my approach is personalized to each student and their unique learning style. The LSAT stands out as my favorite subject to tutor due to its complexity and the deep appreciation I've developed for the skills it cultivates. Tutoring this subject allows me to share my fascination with its intricacies and the balanced approach it requires of combining analytical precision with the psychological resilience to overcome time pressures and anxiety. Additionally, I enjoy tutoring languages (German, French) and English writing, focusing on empowering students to express themselves effectively. Education is more than attaining knowledge; it's about fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and confidence. As a tutor, my goal is to inspire and equip students to pursue their passions with dedication, shaping their journey of lifelong learning.
I am a dynamic, recent Harvard PhD graduate seeking to enrich the lives of others through increasing knowledge, growth, and confidence. I currently reside in Austin, TX, but I am originally from New York City. I attended a private New England boarding school called the Hotchkiss school for high school. I received my BA in International Studies from Brown University. I have been tutoring since I was a sophomore at Brown University. I tutored elementary school students in math and Spanish. Later on, I tutored high school students in Pre-Calculus, Spanish, English, and essay writing. More recently, I have been tutoring young entrepreneurs in Portuguese. Currently, I tutor all levels of Spanish, English grammar and writing, and Reading. I love to travel and meet new people and share wonderful new experiences. I am fluent in Spanish and Portuguese and was fortunate enough to have been able to live in both countries. My teaching style is to ensure that students gain confidence in their own ability to learn. Each student is unique and should be evaluated and assisted on that basis. When I am not tutoring I love to cook, visit local parks and lakes, attend outdoor music concerts, and read. I look forward to working with new students and helping to enrich their educational experience.
Hi there! I'm Jasmine, and I love helping students become confident problem-solvers. Whether you're working through a challenging math or physics concept, exploring astronomy, or crafting a compelling college application essay, I'm here to help you succeed. I studied physics and astrophysics at Harvard, where I developed a deep appreciation for both analytical thinking and creative exploration. My teaching philosophy centers on curiosity: I believe students learn best when they feel comfortable asking questions, making connections, and exploring ideas from different angles. I strive to make lessons engaging, supportive, and tailored to each student's learning style. My goal is not only to help students master material and achieve their academic goals, but also to build the confidence, creativity, and independent thinking that lead to lasting success. Let's work together to make learning rewarding, empowering, and fun!
I graduated Harvard in May 2012. I received an A.B. in History--my studies were all over the place geographically and temporally, but I did the most work in medieval Europe and the Near East. Since graduation, I've lived in the Bay Area, Philadelphia, and now in Boston. I've tutored at every stop, principally in standardized test prep. I also tutored my fellow history undergrads at Harvard, and juvenile offenders in Boston, so I've seen a fairly wide range of students. I can and do tutor a very broad range of subjects, but I'm happiest tutoring history, the GRE, and the SAT--the first because I've loved it since I could read, and the latter two because I think they are highly solvable and I want to make sure students get a chance to learn how to solve them. I'm a firm believer in tutoring in the style of a conversation. Obviously I'm imparting knowledge, but I don't want to lecture and I don't want to be boring, so I try to make it as natural as possible--which does mean I make my fair share of jokes. In my spare time, I'm a huge sports fan (of the Red Sox, Celtics, Broncos, and Canadiens, in that order), an avid PC gamer, a decent squash player, and a baritone.
I am rising Junior at Harvard College looking to help tutor and help young minds amidst what is a uniquely challenging time we're currently living through. I love working with kids of all ages, and tutor a wide variety of subjects such as math, english, and standardized tests.

The subjects were Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, and Trigonometry.My tutoring style is using the Socratic method of starting with what the student knows to learn what they don't. Very effective.My outside interests include sports and movies.
