I graduated cum laude with a BA in History and Literature of England from Harvard and spent my junior year at the University of Bristol in England, where I was lucky to add Irish History and Practical Theatre classes to my schedule. I hold an MFA in Acting from UCSD and am an Associate of The London Film School. For much of my adult life, I have been a professional actor dividing time between classical work, new plays, and investigative theater. I have taught classes in acting, public speaking, Shakespeare, and Devised Theatre at UCSD, The Shakespeare Theatre of NJ and in diverse locations as a member of the NY based theater company, The Civilians. No matter what I'm working on with students --reading, writing, public speaking or study skills-- I hope to foster a love of learning and to encourage a curious and inquisitive approach to the world. I believe passionately that proficiency in the language arts empowers people to communicate with clarity and conviction in all aspects of their lives. Fanatical about good stories and good books, I love to read and see movies or plays or tune in to talk shows on NPR. I'm a foodie and an avid traveller and would probably always rather be on Cape Cod.

I've been a Certified Salesforce Admin and Trainer for 10 years. I've trained over 1,000 users in organizations as small as a dozen people and as large as multi-nationals, working with the Sales Cloud, Service Cloud and Nonprofit Success Pack versions. Before discovering Salesforce, I was Director of Training at a nonprofit job-training organization and Assistant Director of a social service organization. I also taught college English for several years. There nothing I enjoy more than seeing the spark of understanding in a student's eye, whatever the topic!

My name is Yu Wen and I am a strong believer that anyone can learn anything! I attended the University of Pennsylvania as an undergraduate and recently finished my Master's in Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. As a tutor, I create a space where my learners can feel empowered and safe to take on the sometimes difficult, yet often fulfilling and fun, challenge of learning new things. I practice a growth mindset philosophy, and I often say that it is okay to be wrong, it just means you haven't learned the material... yet. With patience and effective pedagogy, I strive to give my students confidence that they can learn anything they set their mind to. I take my students' desires, motivations, goals, and interests seriously. Fun fact: I am an international student from Malaysia!

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 recently graduated from Harvard University with a B.A. in Comparative Literature, as well as a secondary field in Gender Studies and a language citation in Arabic. I have tutored, taught classes, and facilitated workshops on subjects ranging from SAT prep to chemistry to spoken word poetry, and I especially enjoy working with middle school and high school students. I firmly believe that tutoring can and should be funeven SAT prep! Working with a student individually allows the two of us to team up to tackle the material using a range of strategies until we find an approach that works 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 excel. Some of my own favorite subjects to study include languages (I've studied Arabic, Spanish, Latin, and a sprinkling of Japanese), medieval history, and electrical engineering. When I'm not tutoring, I spend my time writing and performing spoken word poetry, riding my bike around Boston, and learning to cook.

I am a graduate of Walt Whitman High School and a current Senior at Harvard University. I am a pre-medical student who has been accepted to medical school, and I am a Slavic Languages and Literatures Major. I have tutored private clients in elementary, middle, and high school math for years; worked with disabled students on improving communication and academic skills through the "Best Buddies" program; and taught English language to Russian speakers during a U.S. State Department study abroad scholarship in Moldova. Though I tutor a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Math, and Public Speaking. In my experience, preparing students for Standardized Testing is immensely satisfying (especially in the Writing and Reading sections) as so much of a student's success is based on their mastery of testing techniques and strategies. I also firmly believe that Public Speaking, as well as organizational skills, are critical to a student's level of confidence and advancement in any subject. I understand that each individual student has a unique approach to learning, and I try to pinpoint the most effective study and comprehension strategies for each of my students, so that he or she feels that his or her time is being used effectively, and so he or she can utilize new tools for success in future classes. In my spare time, I enjoy theater (whether that be participating as a performer or singing along to songs in the car), soccer, dance, and reading.

I just moved to the Boston area to attend graduate school at Harvard. I recently graduated from the University of North Carolina and Duke University with a Bachelor of Science in Public Health and a Bachelor of Arts in Peace, War and Defense. I am available to tutor middle and high school math, history and test prep. I have tutored math and history in the past and I previously taught a test prep course at a school in Hanoi, Vietnam. I have a lot of experience teaching all the need-to-know tricks to doing great on the SATS/ACTS! When I am not in school myself, I love rowing, equestrian and exploring my new city of Boston! I look forward to meeting and working with you soon!

I'm a student at Harvard University earning my master's degree in English literature and creative writing. Since starting this program, I've realized that teaching and learning are major parts who I am; it's become my favorite way to connect with people and leave a legacy. So, I'm eager to work with students on any challenges that they have while writing papers for college classes.Having taken many writing courses, I've written countless essays and worked with lots of students to improve many areas of their writing, including writing a thesis statement, understanding how to use commas, finding the best details for essays, and many more.

My teaching philosophy is comprised of the following tenets: - Identify students' abilities and goals. - Structure individualized approaches & repertoire based on optimal pathways to learning; build on each student's strengths while redressing lacunae. - Implement organic development of skills and knowledge; advance keyboard technique in close symbiotic relationship with music theory, analysis, and history. - Empower independent study through self-awareness, critical thinking, and listening comprehension.

Learning is my passion and I hope to share that with others. I enjoy talking about absolutely everything and learning about the odd and complicated world we live in.

I am looking for lots of excuses to work on reading, writing, public speaking, French, history and even test prep. I love exploring new ideas, practicing languages, and learning about other times.Tutoring is not just a chance to catch up or review materials but also an opportunity for collaboration, participation and the development of ideas, knowledge and learning strategies. I like taking an interactive approach with students and making sure that everyone stays engaged and that students work through materials themselves.I have a BA in Literature (English and French) from a top US university and a MA in International Affairs from a top French university.

As a Harvard student, I majored in Psychology; however, my passion for writing extends back to childhood. I self-published my first book at the age of eighteen, and have since enjoyed writing on a variety of topics ranging from creative fiction and essays to neuroscience and psychiatry. I subscribe to Einstein's quote: "If you can't explain something simply, you don't understand it well enough." I genuinely enjoy connecting with students and adapting my teaching style so that every piece of material makes sense and learning feels fun!

Teaching is about taking my own energy, positivity and excitement and sharing it with students. I have taught in high schools, summits from Boston to Beijing and have always found that students are able to learn and grow when they are challenged and excited by those teaching them. I believe that any student who finds a course boring, or impenetrable, simply hasn't found the right teacher yet!

I completed my high school education at Walter Payton College Prep and just finished freshman year at Harvard. I have always had a passion for both learning and working with others. I have never been afraid of asking others for help on homework or classwork and have been eager to help classmates seeking help.I first got exposure to tutoring as a volunteer in the LIT program, a program designed to help under-privileged kids catch up in reading and writing. On top of being a part-time tutor, I have experience helping kids working as a camp counselor at Fred's Camp and Camp Chicago as well as taking on babysitting jobs around my neighborhood.In my experience as a tutor, the most important thing I realized was that there isn't a cookie cutter way of teaching any subject to any student. Each student is different, and I pay attention to their learning style and adjust accordingly. I strive to not only make sure students can solve each problem but that they thoroughly comprehend the concept as well. After finding the weak points in their understanding, I introduce problems and ask questions that specifically target those areas.I look forward to meeting you and working with you to reach your academic goals!

I graduated from High School at John Jay in Cross River, NY, after which I entered undergraduate studies at Harvard University. This May I graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a BA in Classics summa cum laude. Next year I will be proceeding to Oxford University to study for a master’s degree in Greek and Latin languages and literature. In High School I tutored students in a number of subjects, including Latin and English. In college, as head of the Blues Department at the radio station, I taught seminars on the history of blues music to other undergraduates. I am most interested in tutoring students in Latin or in English literature. I can also teach elementary Ancient Greek to any interested students. My strengths include language, writing, and literary analysis. I can also offer test prep help to students struggling with the SAT writing or critical reading sections, or the subject tests and AP Exams in Latin or English Literature. My philosophy is that students who are happy, engaged, and excited about the material, regardless of ability level, are the best learners. For test prep, this means avoiding the hysteria that many feel about the exams and focusing on the material itself with a realistic view of how to get the most out of the test. For Latin and English Literature, this means forgetting about right and wrong and discovering the joy of interpretation and of language. Outside of academics I am interested in guitar playing and the history of American popular music.

Hello! As a first-generation college student, I understand the struggle of grasping standardized tests, college admissions, and finding your way in higher education. Happy to help anyone as long as they are willing to be patient, work consistently, and be kind to themselves :)

I'm Professor of Philosophy at Auburn University, and have also taught at UNC Chapel Hill and U. Michigan. A.B. from Harvard, Ph.D. from Cornell. I've been teaching philosophy for nearly four decades, at both undergrad and grad levels. Philosophy can seem alien to a beginner, but I believe that it's just a more systematic version of questions we all face and ways of thinking we already use in everyday life. I look forward to helping guide you through the exciting world of philosophy!

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.

I recently graduated from Harvard College. I hold a B.A. in History and a lot of textbooks. I love tutoring my favorite subjects, including History (obviously), Biology (I used to want to be a doctor), Spanish (I went to Costa Rica to learn about being a doctor), and the SAT (okay, maybe *favorite* is a stretch). I also teach chess, but that's more of a hobby. I also enjoy reading, creative writing, and perfecting the poached egg (the key is vinegar). In my spare time I act, perform improv, and think about how great dogs are.As a tutor, I believe my greatest strength is that I am not a textbook. I'm here to make even the driest material interesting and personally relatable, and to talk out difficulties when they arise. I hate memorizing, and would much prefer to make everything from Biology to History into exciting (if very small) stories that are not only easy to remember, but actively difficult to forget.I've had tutors that I hated going to, and tutors that I enjoyed spending my time with, and I do my best to emulate the latter. And, as always, I'm happy with your results when you are happy with your results. Or when your parents are happy with your results.

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 excited to use my experiences as a Harvard grad, bio nerd, high school science teacher, and college prep administrator to help you reach your academic goals!

Hello! I am a PhD student in Literature at Duke University. I have been tutoring (and directing tutoring programs) for years and am looking forward to working with you to meet your goals! I have spent nearly every year since college tutoring in some capacity, including as a volunteer through my current church. I enjoy the challenge of discerning the best way for each particular student to understand and absorb information, and am always thrilled to see when they regain their confidence in their own abilities.

I'm an experienced and very patient math teacher and tutor. I am a MA licensed middle school math teacher of 20 years, and I have tutored countless math students from grades 7-12. I may be the most patient math teacher students will ever have, and I try to not just show math skills, but help students understand the language of math in general and algebra in particular. I have worked successfully with students of all abilities, and my students (and their parents) tell me they are so relieved to finally understand math and not be made to feel dumb or lazy for not understanding. Confidence can be very powerful.I tutor Algebra, Pre-algebra, Algebra 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, and SAT prep. I work in Acton and Concord and surrounding towns around the Metrowest.

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 really enjoy tutoring, and have done it in the past both as a job at Kumon Math and Reading Center, where I worked for a year before I left for college, and as a volunteer tutor in my high school (I also have recently taken up a position volunteer tutoring underprivileged middle schoolers for a local non-profit). I am open to helping any student of any age with nearly any subject (math, reading, writing, biology, chemistry, economics, civics, Spanish etc). I'm also happy to help with test prep (hello SAT and ACT takers), as well as college application assistance. I'm a strong believer in a patient, non-judgmental, non-intimidating approach to tutoring, and I really try to prioritize the comfort of my students. As someone who has used tutoring myself in some of my harder classes in college, I understand that not everything comes easily to everyone, so I want all of my students to feel comfortable asking any and all questions they might have, or going over a topic as many times as needed to understand it. I'm all about friendly, humble service!A little more about me beyond tutoring: I'm a Charlotte native; however, I'm currently enrolled as an undergrad at Harvard University. There, I'm pursuing a B.A. in Economics, while also completing premedical requirements. After college, I hope to either go to grad school for chemistry, biology, or economics, or to take a gap year and then go to medical school.Other interests of mine include health and fitness, dancing, music, and Twitter.

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.

Hello, I hold two soon-to-be three Ivy League degrees, an undergrad and graduate degree from the University of Pennslyvania and I am currently getting a second Masters from Harvard in Education Leadership. I know what it takes to write an essay or application to get into your dream school and specialize in college application support. I guarantee if your student has a complete essay draft we can polish it in a single two-hour session. Additionally, I am a licensed elementary school teacher with a Master's in elementary education I have educational experience as a kindergarten teacher, second-grade reading tutor, and college readiness tutor. I am skilled in reading and math help in the lower grades K-2 for children who need support in those subjects.

I graduated with advanced degrees from Harvard University, where I studied Philosophy of Religion, American Literature and History, and Gender and Culture. As a college professor, mentor, and tutor for 20+ years, specializing in world religions, religion and society, and writing, my passion is to prepare students to critically interpret uses of language in the world, develop their own expressive skills, and achieve their academic and professional goals. The daughter of under-educated parents, as well as a world-traveler, I am especially committed to supporting first-generation college students, those for whom English is a second language, and working adults as they navigate the challenges of higher ed. Nevertheless, I have taught and mentored graduate students at Harvard and talented undergrads in a variety of disciplines and welcome helping with theses. In addition to teaching, I have a background in publishing and editing, and have been a writer since childhood. Language creates reality, and interpreting and using it well opens many doors. I delight to see students realize their capacities and expand their universe.

I recently graduated from Harvard Graduate School of Education, where I studied Human Development and Psychology. I am very passionate about education, and especially in student motivation and learning effectiveness. Growing up in China, I have rich experiences in test taking and learning strategies, which led me to Peking University, one of the two top universities in China. I would be thrilled to help you where I can! Feel free to reach out to me if you need help in Math (Primary through high school Math to GRE Math) or Chinese (speaking and/or writing). I am looking forward to learning, growing, and improving with you!

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.

This stuff is hard but you can do it and like most things, it will be much easier with a good guidance

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!

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'm an experienced filmmaker with decades of experience directing feature films, network television, and short-form content. I approach teaching with the same energy I bring to the filmmaking process: with enthusiasm, total commitment and a deep love of the process. I hope to be able to share my passion for the process and hope to inspire the next generation of filmmakers. Let's work together.

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 studied International Relations, Arabic, and Economics at Tufts University before deciding to pursue a career in medicine. While completing my post-bacc at Harvard, I worked as a research assistant in the lab of the Chief of Nephrology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and volunteered extensively. One of my favorite volunteer experiences was tutoring high school students from Dorchester and Roxbury. I taught my students English, Physics, Chemistry, Algebra, Trigonometry, Biology, and helped them with standardized test preparation. My personal tutoring style is to use a combination of relatable metaphors and real life examples to help my students genuinely understand whatever material we are covering. I scored in the 98th percentile on the SAT and the MCAT2015, so I feel confident with a variety of test preparation. I am currently applying to medical school and enjoy powerlifting, grand strategy games, historical fiction, and chocolate.

I hold a bachelor's degree in Political Science and Economics from Columbia University, an MBA in Finance from Harvard University, and a law degree from the University of London. With a strong academic foundation and experience as a Wall Street investment banker, former City Comptroller and State CFO, I bring both theoretical knowledge and real-world application to my tutoring. My goal is to simplify complex concepts, build confidence, and help students achieve their academic and professional aspirations.

I am a graduate of The University of Colorado, Boulder and Harvard Kennedy School. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Economics and my Master in Public Policy with a focus on international and global affairs. Since graduation, I have worked in investment banking and management consulting, though I also have worked on government relations. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about History, English Literature, and Math (namely algebra and pre-calc). In my experience helping students prepare for Standardized Tests, I like to focus on the writing and math assessments, as those tend to be challenging to many students. I believe in ensuring students are able to think independently and have the confidence to understand the material. I believe the subjects I tutor are necessary for students to succeed and I want to impart what I know to students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading about history and geopolitics, hiking, and writing.

I graduated from Harvard University, earning a Master of Education from the Graduate School of Education. I also earned my Bachelor of Arts in Comparative Human Development at The University of Chicago. While attending The University of Chicago, I mainly focused my major courses on adolescent development and school development. Additionally, during college, I worked as a homework tutor at a youth center, interned in the youth development department for a housing nonprofit, as well as interned for a nongovernmental organization in Kigali, Rwanda.After graduating from college, I worked for the Academy for Urban School Leadership (AUSL) as a Math+ tutor. Math+ was a math intervention program for Chicago Public Schools focusing on third through fifth grade students. As a Math+ tutor, I provided data-driven, small group math classes. After my stint with AUSL, I worked for By the Hand Club for Kids (BTH) as the 4th grade Team Leader. One aspect of BTH is providing afterschool programming for students in grades 1st through 12th. As a team leader, I assisted with homework, monitored an online reading program, and taught a Read- Aloud program. I also conducted home and school visits. These visits allowed me to build a partnership with my students' parents and teachers. Additionally, I was able to track academic progress and behavior.While attending Harvard Graduate School of Education, I interned at a nonprofit named Tutors for All as the Math Skill Program Coordinator, where I transitioned from tutoring to coaching. As the coordinator, I managed the weekly logistics for a math tutorial program. I coached twenty- three tutors on instruction and behavioral management. I assisted with professional development days by planning and facilitating breakout sessions, introducing new tutors to the program's protocols and policies, implementing strategies for effective instructions, and providing tips for behavior management. I used assessment data to make instructional changes such as strategically grouping students, pairing them with tutors and setting relative goals based on their academic ability. I also worked closely with my students' math teachers and lead tutors to develop a curriculum for a group of accelerated students. Lastly, I implemented different organization systems to track academic progress.As my background suggests, I enjoy tutoring reading and math. I have a stronger preference for math and more experience with elementary to beginning high school grades. As a tutor, I like to form a partnership with my tutee. I believe that it is important that we work together to overcome their academic challenges. Additionally, I like to create activities using the kinesthetic learning style because this approach allows for students to be interactive and hands on. Inasmuch, I want to engage my students' prior knowledge and build from what they know. Lastly, I provide opportunities for students to teach each other as well as teach me. This allows me to further evaluate their conceptual understanding of a given objective.Outside of academia, I enjoy cooking, art, watching movies, music, and reading books. I am also a social person who loves to meet new people, travel the world, and explore.

For the past 7 years, I have been working with students of all backgrounds to improve learning outcomes and foster test taking confidence. I recently graduated with my PhD in Marine Science from the University of California Santa Barbara where I studied the population dynamics and ecology of biodiverse kelp forest ecosystems. I received my BA in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology from Harvard University. I have a strong passion for the sciences and engaging students in critical thinking about our world. I have extensive experience tutoring students in SAT prep, biology, calculus, algebra, and more at Collegebound Tutoring Services in Santa Barbara, and I am eager to continue to share my insights and strategies so that students can make their academic goals a reality. I am also an experienced college science teacher, having taught laboratory classes at UCSB in invertebrate zoology, biometry (biostatistics), and introductory biology. As a tutor, I am patient, methodical, and invested in the aspirations of all my students, and I work collaboratively with my tutees to tailor an individualized plan for success. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking dishes from around the world and spending time in nature, whether by hiking, kayaking, sailing, or biking.
