I am a recent law school graduate from Suffolk University Law School and hold a B.S. in Criminal Justice with a minor in business from Virginia Commonwealth University. Throughout high school, college, and law school, I have served as a coach, mentor, and teacher. I coached a swim team for many years, taught swim lessons to everyone from babies to adults, and served as a volunteer assistant with a middle school ESL department. As a law student, I had the opportunity to participate in a program where I taught Constitutional Law to high school juniors and seniors at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School in Cambridge, MA. I loved working with my class and watching how much they learned and grew throughout the year. One of my students was even selected to participate in a national moot court competition, and I had the privilege of coaching him through the competition and watching him compete in Washington, D.C. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about history, government, political science, and law. I also love reading and writing, and am very experienced in drafting all types of writing and papers, including personal statements and college/grad school essays. Enthusiastic, passionate, and goal-oriented are words used to describe me. I love working with students of all ages and welcome any challenge!

I got introduced to teaching when I was in my teens by working with my siblings, cousins, neighbors etc. It soon became a regular practice to sit with my younger sibling to check his homework assignments and prepare him for his examinations.When in college, teaching became my profession. I started to teach kids from K-10. It soon gave me purpose to continue my journey of gaining knowledge. I taught middle school subjects like mathematics and science including physics, chemistry and biology while I myself was studying economics, mathematics and statistics.I have also been a teacher in preschool for more than a year which has led me to understand the importance of child psychology and the relevance of mode of teaching.I feel that I had a nag of teaching which got developed into passion.

BA Suffolk University

I am a graduate from Suffolk University with a BS in Computer Science. I am currently beginning a career in software design with a focus on mobile applications. My main passions are Mathematics and Computer Science, although I have a strong academic background in several areas including English and the physical sciences. I have been tutoring since high school and have experience working with all ages in a number of subjects. I have the most experience working with high school and middle school students in mathematics. My other teaching experiences include tutoring in English and computer skills in an ESOL classroom for refugees, as well as private and group violin instruction for children of all ages.I believe that Math comprehension is absolutely essential to a successful education. As a tutor I focus on presenting material in a number of ways to accommodate all learning styles and making material relevant to the student. Helping students overcome the anxieties that so often accompany learning Math at the earliest and most crucial stages means helping students think about the material in a way that is meaningful to them and teaching them to relate Math to their own lives and interests in a way that fosters a passion that lasts far beyond the day of the big test and hopefully for a lifetime.Although my main focuses are standardized test preparation and Mathematics, I also tutor Chemistry, Physics, Reading Comprehension, Essay Writing, Grammar and a number of other subjects. In my free time I love playing with my computer, reading, practicing my violin and all sorts of outdoorsy activities.

4+ Years Tutoring

My name's Breno. I am currently a Ph.D. student at Harvard University in the department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology.I began tutoring during my undergraduate years at Suffolk University. Through this position, I advised students and coworkers as both a tutor and tutor mentor. I have greatly cherished my time as a tutor because it not only contributed to my growth as a scholar but allowed me to give back to the community by helping my peers succeed. My tutoring philosophy revolves around the students, not the assignments they bring. I believe that a tutor's job is to ensure students improve their own capabilities and are better able to work independently and successfully by helping them understand the problem rather than simply providing a solution. I am very excited to help anyone who wishes to better understand chemistry!

I'm a recent graduate of Suffolk University with a BS in Physics and a minor in Philosophy. Looking to go to grad school in January or next September and have taken the GRE (preping to take the specialized Physics GRE in October). Math has always been somewhat intuitive for me, but once I got to college I knew I needed additional help. I know how much an outside perspective can help solve a frustrating problem and understand how important patience is in learning concepts that are somewhat difficult to grasp.Love being active, biking around Boston, and tackling some of math's harder monsters.
