I am currently an undergraduate student at Williams College studying Mathematics and Computer Science. I graduated from high school as valedictorian of my class and have been passionate about tutoring students since middle school. I love to support students learning and their journey to success in whatever they are achieving. I'm especially passionate about tutoring math, and english, as well as writing essays for any situation.

Hi, I'm Ry! I'm passionate about making Earth and environmental science engaging, approachable, and hands-on. I use inquiry- and phenomena-based learning to help students ask questions, solve problems, and make connections to the world around them. I believe mistakes are an important part of learning, so I'll help you understand not just the right answer, but why it makes sense. My goal is to build confidence, curiosity, and lasting science skills!
Understanding the process of how to solve a question is crucial when it comes to math and science classes. That's why I help my students to figure out answers on their own as opposed to telling them the answers. I ask my students questions to lead them through the solving process, which engages them and makes them more likely to learn and remember the material. I also think learning and laughing work well together, so I make my tutoring sessions educational and fun.I graduated from Williams College in 2012, where I majored in biology and completed pre-medical studies. I also spent a semester in Spain, taking all classes in Spanish at a Spanish university. After graduation, I went to Africa for six months. I spent three months in Tanzania teaching English and three months in Mozambique working as a research assistant at a health clinic. My international teaching experience helped me become a more creative teacher because I often had to improvise on the spot when my students didn't understand me, which happens quite a lot when you and your students don't speak the same language. Since returning from Africa, I've been working as a math, science, and English tutor for high school students. Forging meaningful relationships and watching my students succeed are what I like most about tutoring.
I graduated from Williams College with a BA in Chemistry and Womens' and Gender Studies and received my MD from Stony Brook University School of Medicine (now Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook U.) in 2016. During college, I developed a keen interest in women's reproductive health and would later factor into my decision to become an OBGYN. Before applying to medical school, I was a college admissions officer at Williams and had the utmost privilege evaluating the best and brightest applicants across the nation. At Stony Brook, I became a teaching assistant in human anatomy and physiology, and received a prestigious fellowship grant from the HIV Vaccine Trials Network where I spent a year conducting both community outreach and clinical research on barriers and facilitators to HIV vaccine trials among underrepresented minorities in NYC. During residency, I discovered that my greatest fulfillment did not come from being a physician but as an educator. Soon after, I transitioned into education where I have since found great success teaching undergrad courses in chemistry, biology, and human anatomy and physiology. My teaching philosophy revolves around cultivating self-motivated learning and resilience and I believe in empowering students to drive their own educational journey. Over the past decade, I have served as a mentor and tutor to countless students and have dedicated myself to increasing the representation of first-generation college students in STEM fields. I have extensive experience preparing medical and nursing students for their licensure exams (USMLE, NCLEX, PANCE) with a particular focus on overcoming past failures on both STEP 1 and 2. And I most enjoy tutoring high school students in chemistry. As a tutor, I am deeply committed to fostering supportive learning environments where all students can maximize their potential and find success in their academic and professional endeavors. This is especially true for students with learning differences. Outside the classroom, I enjoy playing volleyball, watching streamers on Twitch, baking (I love Oreo cheesecake), and finding interesting places to eat in NYC. I believe we can accomplish great things together. Let's make it happen!
I am a rising Senior at Williams College where I major in History and Political Science with a certificate in Arabic. Having learned Spanish, Arabic and Korean from scratch, I am a major proponent of learning new languages and enjoy helping others on their language journeys. I am also an avid chess player, and love to introduce others to the game.
Hi! My name is John Marando. I just finished my first year at Williams College, where I plan to be an economics major, and take part in both rugby and debate on campus. I'm a huge Beatles and Billy Joel fan, planning to go see Paul McCartney this summer if possible. As someone who played baseball in high school, I always am up to throw the ball around or talk about the game, especially if you are a New York Yankees fan.More importantly, however, I have a genuine interest in helping students succeed and empowering them with the knowledge and skills to become independent learners and thinkers.
I'm looking to tutor middle and high school students across the humanities: literature, history, philosophy, theology, social studies, and religious studies. I also look forward to coaching students through their writing efforts, having the tools to help them improve both substance and style. Having been inspired by a host of excellent teachers throughout my intellectual career, I'm anxious to transfer my passion for humanities to any and all students. I also love reading students' writing, as it can clue me in to their passions and make it easier for me to instill a love of learning.I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, History, and Jewish Studies from Williams College, America's top liberal arts institution according to U.S. News and World Report. After graduating cum laude and with departmental honors from Williams, I spent two years teaching at Portsmouth Abbey School, New England's premiere co-ed Catholic boarding school. While at the Abbey, I taught two sections of sophomore Humanities (a Western "great books" course stretching from St. Paul's "Letter to the Romans" and Augustine's "Confessions" to Marx's "The Communist Manifesto" and Freud's "Civilization and Its Discontents") and one section of senior English (we began with several Shakespeare plays and ended with the novels of Dickens, Joyce, and Nabokov). Both classes required a great deal of writing. My Humanities students had short weekly essays for the small 'writing section' and longer essays for the primary texts. My English students, meanwhile, were required to write independent theses on literary works of their choosing. I enjoyed helping my students to conceive, compose, proofread, and revise these essays.At Portsmouth Abbey, I learned that a teacher must make every effort to enter a student's intellectual world, to meet the student on his or her own terms. I have found a good sense of humor my most useful tool in this endeavor; laughter creates comfort. Moreover, comedy stimulates the intellect, as it appeals to reason (that is, if you're laughing at a joke, that means you've 'gotten it'). My strong background in theatre, improv, and sketch comedy makes it easy for me to maintain a student's attention.I am pursuing a career in entertainment, and have cultivated a serious passion for theatre, film, and improv comedy. The photograph I use for this website is the same one I usually bring to auditions! I'm also a lifelong Yankees fan. My roommates and I watch as many games together as we can!I'm excited to meet new clients and get to work!
I recently graduated from Williams College (the #1 College in America) with a degree in Biology and Maritime Studies. I am qualified to tutor in many areas including the math and sciences, English, and test preparation (ranging from elementary level through the SATs/ACTs). I have tutored for my entire life and would love to help your student with whatever they may need. I try to relate to the student through their likes to instill in them a love of learning--especially in subjects that are hard to grasp. Please let me know if you would like any more information!
I am an excellent motivator and a passionate educator. I enjoy helping young people develop confidence in their abilities and therefore become stronger students and lifelong learners.
I graduated from Williams College in 2009 with B.A. in Economics and Political Science. My Economics study is Macro and Finance oriented, with my senior thesis focused on the financial markets and statistical arbitrage.As a tutor, my focus will be on the standardized tests, Economics, and Mandarin Chinese.
I believe every student has the potential to achieve great academic success. It is my goal to help my tutees realize their own abilities and develop a curiosity for learning along the way!
I am a graduate of Williams College with majors in both Chemistry and Political science. I also completed the pre-medical curriculum and plan on going to medical school. While at Williams I expanded my love of learning under professors who focused on teaching, engaging students and building relationships. I took advantage of the liberal arts course offerings and am comfortable tutoring in the core social sciences.Trained by Teach For America, I have taught 9th grade Biology in Georgia public schools. In college I tutored my peers in General, Organic, Physical and Inorganic Chemistry. I was a lab Teaching Assistant for Molecular Biology, Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry. My experience also includes tutoring SAT, ACT, and SSAT test preparation, and high school science, math and English internationally.My teaching philosophy is that every student can learn and achieve at the highest level. I strive to explore different avenues of learning in order for students to comprehend and engage with the material.
I will be matriculating at Williams College in the fall where I plan to major in English. I have had several experiences in tutoring ranging from volunteer tutoring for underprivileged children to tutoring many of my peers in standardized testing to leading an English class for students at a Chinese university. While most of my experience in tutoring comes in standardized test preparation and English composition and literature, I also have a great interest in mathematics and have experience in teaching it as well. Though I tutor in a variety of subjects, I am most passionate about English, literature, and history. My approach to tutoring stresses deeper understanding of topics and underlying concepts, as opposed to learning just to pass test questions. I further believe in teaching towards individual student's learning styles and adapting towards individual needs so as to maximize progress and learning. Outside of academics, in my free time, I enjoy watching movies, playing soccer, reading books, and playing video games.
In the spring of 2012, I graduated summa cum laude from Williams College with a degree in English. During college I played on the varsity baseball team and spent a semester studying in Israel. Since graduation, I have been living in New York and working as a private tutor for families and for individual students. Although there are a variety of subjects that I enjoy tutoring, my favorites include English and History. I also have experience in tutoring the SAT. I try to make each tutoring session fun and engaging, tailoring the lesson to the student's specific needs and interests. In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, watching sports, playing chess and spending time with friends and family.
As a graduate student at Northeastern University pursuing a Master's in Computer Science, I bring a unique blend of analytical skills and creativity to my tutoring approach. With a Bachelor's degree in Chinese and Philosophy from Williams College, I have a multi-dimensional approach to education and tutoring. My over two years of tutoring experience have shaped my belief in fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment where students can thrive. I am passionate about helping students navigate complex concepts and develop critical thinking skills, particularly in writing college application essays and enhancing their overall academic performance. Outside of academics, I enjoy exploring literature and languages, which enriches my teaching style and connects me with students on a personal level.
I just finished my coursework for my Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences degree at Tufts University School of Medicine. I have a B.A. in Chemistry and Chinese from Williams College. I am a very reliable and dedicated tutor. I will work hard and efficiently to help you improve your test scores, studying habits, and grades. My teaching philosophy is very much similar to a lot of my science professors. "Do practice questions. Do practice questions. Do some more practice questions!" Since I like to have concepts simplified and broken down for me, I will do the same for my students.
I am currently a student at Williams College. I have not yet specified my major but I plan to concentrate in English and philosophy. I have a keen interest in education and have actively sought out experience in the field for the past two years. I served as a Writing Fellow at Mount Greylock Regional School this past fall. There I was employed as an assistant for Mr. Dils, a high school English teacher. I was responsible for helping to prepare his tenth and twelfth grade classes, as well as correcting student writing. I have additional experience tutoring English at the Isoapple after-school facility, where I am currently assisting with the summer program. English is my primary subject, but I am also interested in tutoring History and SAT prep. In my own experience writing is the superlative avenue of expression, and reading the premier pathway to wisdom and perspective. Education is, in my opinion, the greatest good there is, and I hope to foster a similar appreciation in my students. In my spare time I enjoy reading, for both pleasure and knowledge. I also enjoy going on long walks, listening to music, and playing videogames.
I graduated from Williams College with a Bachelor???s Degree in Arabic Studies in June 2017 and will pursue a Master???s of Philosophy in Modern Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Oxford in October.I have seven years of experience teaching and tutoring. In high school, I tutored middle school students after school and over the summer in Math & Reading. More recently, I have taught English classes for non-native speakers in Egypt and during weekly Skype sessions. I have enjoyed helping some of my students prepare for the TOEFL test. I also can teach Arabic to native English speakers!As I went through the college admissions process not too long ago, I remember how rigorous and stressful taking the SAT and ACT can be. Knowing that writing and critical reading are my strengths, I committed to math tutoring to review certain concepts and to build my confidence. I wish to share my enthusiasm for and conviction in the benefits of standardized test prep with my students!
I'm a rising sophomore at Williams College (B.A. track) and a graduate of Horace Mann School. I tutor math, writing and test prep (SAT/ACT) in Westchester and parts of New York City. I spent two years tutoring Edgemont and Scarsdale High School students and spent the summer of 2017 as a mentor for Summer on the Hill at Horace Mann. As a tutor, I try to show students several different approaches to any task they are faced with, whether it be solving a math problem or organizing an essay. This way, students can find the method that best suits their learning style. Furthermore, they not only learn how to address the individual task but also begin to understand how to approach similar tasks, acquiring skills that can be useful in the future. Outside of academia, I enjoy playing guitar, running, biking and watching sports.
I graduated from Williams College in 2007. I then received a Watson Fellowship, and traveled to Romania, Hungary, the Ukraine, and Morocco, collecting oral narratives from women in minority groups. Upon returning to the U.S., I began the PhD program in Comparative Literature at Northwestern University, with a focus in early 20th-century Latin American literature. I just finished my doctorate in December of 2014.During my time at Northwestern, I taught a variety of language and literature courses in both English and Spanish. I was also able to travel extensively: I studied and conducted research in Berlin, Paris, London, Sao Paulo, Montevideo, and Buenos Aires, where I lived for nearly three years.I love teaching and talking about anything to do with words--whether that means literature, reading comprehension, writing skills, grammar, or simply building vocabularies. I tutor the SATs, GRE verbal, AP Spanish, and Spanish language at all levels. I have a relaxed and approachable manner, and encourage my students to cultivate their own distinct intellectual style and to relate their studies to other kinds of interests. In my experience, students are most successful when they combine test-taking strategies with an authentic curiosity and an ability to enjoy what they are doing (even for standardized tests!). Learning and teaching always go hand in hand, and so when I am not teaching, I try to spend my time learning something new: I love reading, especially long novels, I have practiced yoga for six years, and lately I am interested in silent-era cinema, the history of medicine, and learning how to play my brand-new pineapple ukulele.
I became a teacher because I wanted to guide students to becoming the best versions of themselves they can be. I have always wanted to be someone who supports children. I have been working as a teacher for 3 years and had worked as a TA for 3 years prior. I teach elementary and middle school math, phonics, reading, and writing. My favorite subjects to teach are phonics and readings. I think reading is imperative to being able to achieve in other subjects as well as reaching your goals in both childhood and adulthood.
I am a recent graduate of Williams College. I have a B.A. in Mathematics and American Studies and am enrolled in a Masters program in math at the New Mexico State University. At Williams, I served as a peer tutor at the Math and Science Resource Center for Calculus I, Calculus II, and Calculus III. I have also worked as a personal tutor for students in community college, high school, and middle school. I believe that learning math should be a collaborative process.
I am a graduate of Williams College where I majored in biology and concentrated in biochemistry & molecular biology and environmental studies. After graduation, I did genetic research at Princeton University for one year. Now I'm a medical student at the Frank H. Netter School of Medicine at Quinnipiac University and aspire to be an orthopedic physician. I'm involved with sports medicine research with a physician at the Yale School of Medicine who specializes in complex knee injuries. I want to help students prepare for the MCAT and reach their goal of attending medical school.
As a graduate of Williams College, I received my Bachelors of Arts as a double major in Religion and Arabic Studies and a concentration in International Studies. Throughout high school and college, I worked with a range of students on all academic subjects, emphasizing confidence building through academic engagement. After graduation, I worked in Yemen for nine months coordinating a State Department English Language program for Yemeni youth, a life-changing experience that inspired me to approach the teaching process with a broader, encompassing perspective. Apart from my experience with the Arabic language, I am also a native Spanish speaker. Although I am available to tutor in a range of topics, I am particularly passionate about History, Religion, Geography, and all Social Studies. I have personally committed myself to improving education throughout the world and promoting its appreciation among students in order to enhance the learning process as well as intrinsically benefit the student. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling and experiencing different cultures around the world, reading novels, yoga, and volunteering with youth.
I am a graduate of Williams College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. Since graduation, I have worked a wide variety of jobs: organic farm manager, solar panel installer, sous chef at a renowned restaurant, founder of a music cooperative in downtown Phoenix and, most recently, multi-instrumentalist in a band that tours all over the world. Obviously, my interests are broad. I view every personal endeavor as a fundamentally educational experience. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, literature, history, philosophy, and Spanish (which I learned to speak while studying philosophy in Argentina). I really enjoy working with students to sharpen written assignments. Even the best writers require editing! I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy making music, travel, and reading.
I graduated in the top ten percent of my high school class and went on to Williams College (MA) to complete my Bachelor's degree in Biology. Currently, I am in the process of applying to medical school. In the meantime, I work for Miami Dade College. I like to tutor because I like teaching and explaining information to others.I believe a good teaching methodology is based on finding a good way to relate the new material to previous knowledge. It is also important to find analogies that could be applicable to real life situations.I have extensive knowledge in the science field including Biology, Physics, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Genetics. I have experience tutoring in each of these. I have also worked with children in grades K-12 on homework and classroom assignments.I particularly like to teach Math because it is my favorite subject. I like to play chess, soccer and talk about fitness. I believe I can have a positive impact on the lives of my students and contribute to their education.
I am a graduate of Williams College. I received my Bachelor of the Arts in Theatre and English. I spent most of my time in school training as a writer, actor, and director, including spending a summer studying Shakespeare at the London Academy for Music and the Dramatic Arts (LAMDA) and a semester studying at the National Theater Institute (NTI). Since I graduated from Williams, I have studied filmmaking at the New York Film Academy (NYFA), worked for an entertainment studio, creating virtual content based on a series of children's books, interned at a film development company and a film festival, and done freelance video editing for non-profits. My passion is for storytelling in all of its forms. I love helping people to tell stories in the most effective way possible, and I have worked to help people edit and improve their writing both informally and professionally. Developing a story is hard work, but I find that pushing through that difficulty is incredibly fulfilling, and it is a rewarding experience to help people do that. My love of stories continues well into my leisure time. I enjoy am an avid fan of films and television, books, as well as anime and manga. When I am not voraciously devouring someone else's story, I am usually telling my own as a filmmaker and animator, or I could be playing/watching soccer.
I take time to make sure students understand the concepts on a deep level, and I encourage asking questions and having discussions about them. If you take the time to learn something well you will excel.
I graduated from Williams College, receiving honors with my B.A. in English Literature. In 2016, I will receive my M.A. in Art and Art Education from Columbia University. Since graduating from Williams, I have been teaching middle school English and high school art in public schools. With my 9 years of private tutoring experience, I also meet with clients all over New York City and Long Island, tutoring middle and high school students in Test Prep, Writing and Reading, and adults in English language.I believe in hard work and having fun while prepping for important tests. As a native New Yorker growing up here, I attended Hunter College High School and the Brearley School, so I know how important test prep is! Because of my experience as a teacher and student, I firmly believe that excelling at school not only leads to great academic opportunities, but also an essential sense of self-esteem and accomplishment. I believe that every student has the potential to achieve amazing things, and I will guide each and every one of them to that.In my spare time I like to see jazz, classical and rock concerts around the city, go to museums, make art, spend time with my pets, cook and exercise.
I've been teaching biology to undergraduates since 2003, as a tenured professor at the University of Redlands and as visiting faculty at various institutions, including Boston College and Williams College. One of my greatest joys in life is seeing my students grow in their skills, their confidence, and the power to shape their futures.
Over the summer of my junior year of college, I was asked to tutor a high school student who had missed months of school due to a traumatic sports injury. Together we learned so much about the transition from a reluctant learner to an engaged student. After earning my B.A. in English from Williams College, I lived in Germany, managed a professional hockey team and tutored again, this time a graduate student who was studying American government. Both of these experiences taught me that the relationship between a teacher and student is one in which both learn from each other, and together they can achieve the goals that may be difficult for the student alone. Since then, I have tutored individual students, taught in group settings to people of all ages and worked as an editor and writer while raising my own children. I am eager to inspire more students and open their eyes to the potential each and every one has to achieve great things!
I have had a passion for learning and teaching for as long as I can remember, and I believe that every child deserves the chance to succeed academically. I graduated from Williams College with a degree in history. Next summer, I will matriculate at Mount Sinai Medical School in New York City.I began tutoring elementary and middle school students while in high school. We worked on math, science, social studies, and English. During college, I spent a month as a teacher's assistant in a middle school English Language Learners' classroom in Portland, Maine. The summer after my freshman year at Williams, I spent three weeks in rural Tanzania teaching English to seventh grade students. This past summer, I spent eleven weeks at the same Tanzanian school teaching English to students in kindergarten through ninth grade.Everyone has a different learning style, so I am open to suggestions and flexible in my teaching style in order to ensure that each student is successful and reaches his or her academic goals. Tutoring can be a wonderful confidence booster for students, and I am eager to share my enthusiasm with my students. I look forward to working with and learning from students in the Atlanta area.
Throughout my academic and professional life, writing and reading critically have not only been my strong suit, but my passion. As a tutor, I'm committed to awakening and strengthening that same passion in my students through an emphasis on creative expression and a fun, but rigorous, approach to essay writing. Often the hardest thing for a young writer is forming a unique point of view on a prescribed prompt or topic, especially one that may seem less than relevant to their own life. My goal is to do just that: rouse their natural enthusiasm for a subject and help them support it with evidence that's laid out in a compelling, causal structure. Focusing on causal transitions between paragraphs is a skill rarely taught in secondary education, but often expected at the college level. I learned this the hard way. But my years of writing-intensive tutorial classes at Williams College, combined with my professional experience as a theater director and script editor, have provided me with a range of strategies to help students see their writing as a performance of their thinking.As a history tutor, my approach is similar. It's hard to memorize facts and dates; even harder if you feel personally unconnected to them. Students struggling to memorize people and events in a vacuum need more. I focus on helping my students maintain an active connection to history, boosting and intensifying information retention. I'll help them find unique ways to relate to the past, as well as the note-taking and diagramming methods that work best for them. My students will gain a strong sense of the world in which they live, how it came to be, and how to remember it all when faced with a test or essay.
I'm a tutor currently living in Astoria, NY. I am a Magna Cum Laude graduate of Williams College and Phi Beta Kappa member with extensive experience in teaching in tutoring.In addition to being a martial arts black belt and instructor, I tutored throughout high school and college. While at Williams I was a peer tutor for various subjects including writing and political science. I have also tutored per-calculus, biology, geometry, and SAT Math, reading, and writing.My strengths as a tutor are quickly analyzing student's learning habits and tailoring my approach to best suit their needs and skills. I set reachable goals for every session and clear expectations about my responsibilities and the students responsibilities in preparing for our work together in order to maximize the time we have. I pride myself on being able to explain abstract concepts in practical terms and on being approachable and understanding. I am a warm, funny, and determined person who genuinely loves teaching. In addition to tutoring I perform improv comedy in the city, work at an emerging theater company and still practice martial arts in my spare time.I look forward to working with you or your student soon!
My diverse professional experience and teaching abilities make me the ideal candidate to become your next tutor. While completing my liberal arts education at top-ranking Williams College, my passion for teaching is reflected by the numerous positions that I held during that time and beyond. In fact, I received formal teaching offers during my senior year but opted to challenge myself to explore beyond my comfort zone. A week after graduating in early June of 2006, I began my tenure as Equities Analyst for Kellogg Capital Group, the largest private specialist firm on Wall Street at the time.Although my lifestyle became financially comfortable, I longed to contribute in an intrinsically rewarding capacity. This led to my tutoring for Prep for Prep, a life-changing leadership development program. I soon found myself looking forward to the trading bell’s closing ring so that I could lose the fancy suit jacket, roll up my sleeves, and dig into the teaching trenches anywhere from the Starbucks down the street from the NYSE to some unfamiliar neighborhoods throughout New York City. Fortunately, as soon as I began planning my exit from the corporate world, I was provided a handsome severance package when I was laid off from such a promising first job out of college; while about half of the company’s employees of all ranks were let go, the unprofitable firm would later be sold. This turn of events set the stage for the priceless classroom exploratory phase I was seeking.I increased my workload with Prep for Prep and added two more positions to form a full-time schedule of teaching: I now also taught SAT Verbal at Leader’s Academy and New York Regents English Language Arts at the Harlem Children’s Zone. I was successful in these endeavors by relying on the multiple teaching styles and techniques that I had mastered to ensure that students were indeed grasping lessons during our limited contact. My newfound exposure to Harlem combined with the professional development that I received at HCZ piqued my interest for issues in education that transcend the classroom. I reduced my tutoring responsibilities to pursue an opportunity as Manager of Academic Programs for Junior Achievement, a world-famous nonprofit organization that teaches financial literacy, workplace readiness, and entrepreneurship. Training thousands of New York City students made me want to be a lead teacher so I moved on to become Director of Admissions and 7th Grade English Teacher for a private K-8 school in Newark where I helped restructure the admissions department and led an aggressive recruitment campaign that saw the school receive an unprecedented number of applicants in a bear market.Feeling the urge to pursue more adventurous pastures, I relocated to Medellin, Colombia, where I spent most of the last three years refining my Spanish. While in Medellin, I lent my services as a research consultant for a local nonprofit organization that provides health and wellness programming. I am now resuming my career in the U.S. as I continue applying to part-time graduate programs. In the interim, I am an instructor for Varsity Tutors and develop descriptive analysis for all of Major League Baseball’s online entities. I am currently pursuing my graduate studies.
I graduated magna cum laude from Williams College with a Bachelor of Arts in chemistry and a minor in molecular biology. I currently work as an assistant teacher at a charter school in Boston. I provide close academic support in Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra II at my school. I am comfortable, however, with upper level math classes (such as calculus), and science courses (biology, chemistry, and physics). I am in the process of applying to medical school as well. I have been fortunate to have already been accepted into a couple of schools. I would love to help you prepare for the MCATs and get a head start on your medical school application. I think this one-on-one tutoring model can be a powerful study method in preparing you for success in both the classroom and on standardized tests. In my spare time, I enjoy skiing, running, playing board games, and performing/learning magic tricks!
As a passionate tutor with a B.A. in Russian and Political Science from Williams College and a strong science background, I am dedicated to helping students excel in multiple disciplines. I earned perfect scores in the English, Reading, and Science sections of the ACT as well as the Organic Chemistry section of the DAT, and was a National Merit Semifinalist and AP Scholar with Distinction. After graduating, I taught English overseas as a Fulbright awardee, earned a 4.0 in a post-baccalaureate program studying Human Anatomy, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Physics, and Physiology, and was admitted to an Ivy League dental school. With over 2 years of teaching and tutoring experience, I emphasize strategy-building and critical thinking techniques to help students develop widely applicable skills.
I graduated Williams College with a BA in Russian Language and Literature. I currently work as a residential advisor at an international school in Boston, and I really enjoy living and working with ESL students from around the world. During my college years, I gained a wealth of experience tutoring one-on-one, in the classroom, and online. I've helped college students with Russian grammar as a Peer Tutor, provided writing feedback to AP English students at local high schools, worked with homeless children at an after-school program in Brooklyn, and taught full Russian classes at Upward Bound summer schools. I tutor a variety of subjects, but I especially enjoy English, Literature, and SAT verbal. Having published papers and presented at academic conferences, I am eager to share my expertise with academic writing. Beyond fixing grammar and punctuation, I love to help students improve the quality of their analysis, structure and sense of their arguments, and transitions between ideas. I believe that writing skills are crucial, not only for test prep and college admissions, but for finding fulfilling work and support for ideas that matter. In my spare time, I play violin and viola, go running, and travel as much as I can.
I am a third-year chemistry student at Williams College. My goal as a tutor is to provide you with the best experience possible. I have the skills to teach you everything you need to succeed in the classroom and prepare you for one of the most important tests you'll need for college, the ACT.
Hi! I'm Sophie, I have tutored for the past 10 years with students ages 11-23 in a wide range of subjects. I'm really passionate about making learning engaging and fun, and getting to know my students outside of their academic pursuits. Whether it's algebra 2 or 7th grade english or AP chemistry (or anything in between), I'm super excited to work with you!
