Award-Winning Trigonometry Tutors serving Lowell, MA

...from an early age, having made it to the USAMO. I have a Bachelor's degree in Physics from Caltech and a Master's in Mathematical Finance from Rutgers. I have experience tutoring Algebra, Calculus, and Trigonometry online. I believe in using analogies or bringing up simple examples to help students grasp concepts. It makes me happy to see my students succeed. Outside of academia, I spent seven years designing mathematics for slot games using probability, combinatorics,...

...the past 4 years and coming from Boston, I wanted to continue the work I was doing. I love teaching students of all levels, and I am excited to work with a broad range of students through Varsity Tutors. I want to become a high school teacher, but tutoring is something that is so unique in that you get to work with one student and learn their every strength and weakness. I look forward to...

...but to guide one in knowing how to arrive at the answer. This approach has served me well in my professional career, as well as in my personal life. I find myself always challenged with learning new things, and self-learning is the key. For example, to advance my professional career, I took an online course in statistics. In my personal life, in order to become a better coach to my sons baseball team, I went...

...year, I also tutored and mentored high school students attending New Brunswick Health Science Technology within the Rutgers Future Scholar Mentorship program. These experiences shaped my principled and conceptual tutoring style. I believe that conceptual understanding is the most important factor in determining success in a subject. If a student has a conceptual understanding of a subject's foundational principles, they can apply them to many different, and more complex, problems rather than just the ones...

...academic career. I was introduced to tutoring in my residence hall as a freshman. I would help the girls in my hall on their math homework. After that, I applied for a job at the tutoring center on campus and was accepted. Tutoring is by far the most enjoyable and rewarding job I have ever had. As a graduate student, I am no longer eligible to be a tutor, I have been looking for a...

...and most of that is collaborative work, which I think is the best way to learn. I'd love the opportunity to help people out, and create a genuine, peer to peer working environment rather than a teacher-student type one, which is just less fun and a lot harder to learn in. This has always been how I've learned best and I hope that I can help others out with the knowledge I have.

...been a tutor for 4 years for students from 1st grade through college. I received a Bachelor of Science in Applied Math from SUNY Geneseo and Master's degree in Secondary Education. I am very flexible in my teaching, adapting to student discoveries and questions in addition to alternating styles of teaching. I know that every learner is different and so I find ways to help all of my students, no matter how they learn best.

Learning is ultimately a self-taught but I'm here to nudge you in the right direction. Asking questions makes the most out of our time and I will do my best to properly explain things easier

...opportunity to understand the concept at a deeper level. Aside from my experience tutoring kids in both simple and advanced math concepts, I also have the grades and test scores to indicate my knowledge of the material. I received an 800 both on the SAT II Math Level 2 Exam and the math portion of the SAT. I also received a 5 on the AP calculus exam. I was an active member of my high...

...honors college. My Major was Mathematics with a concentration in Mathematical Computation, and I minored in Philosophy. The bulk of my university courses were focused on space and time complexity algorithms. I have a strong background in both Mathematical and computer science proof techniques and experience in programming. As a veteran of the AP program and the SATs, I have the insight and experience to help students understand what is important to succeed on their...

As a tutor in test prep (SAT/ACT/SSAT/AP), I aim to help my students learn subject matter solidly enough to teach it themselves. I have four years of experience in online tutoring through the Russian School of Mathematics. My VA research, 1st placement in MA Science Olympiad, and perfect AP scores in Calc BC, Eng Lang, Chem, and Bio give me the expertise to transform your student into an academic weapon.

...engaging ways. For instance, while tutoring adolescents enrolled in the Boston-based Artists for Humanity program, I would often teach students whom I had never worked with before, and thus became adept at quickly discovering and implementing the strategies that worked best for a particular student (e.g., visual/tactile examples, analogies, and breaking down complex problems into smaller parts). While tutoring a janitorial staff member in preparation for the mathematics portion of her GED high school equivalency...

...math and secondary education. While there, I was a tutor, a teaching assistant, and a supplemental instructor for various math courses. I also tutored nearby high school students in trigonometry and algebra II. Now, I teach 9th grade (Algebra I) and 11th grade (precalculus) at a high school in Boston. When I'm not teaching (or grading), I enjoy biking, reading, cooking, and baking. I'm also a huge baseball fan - it's my goal to get...

Math and science are my strong suit and what I am most passionate...

As an accounting volunteer tutor with Beta Alpha Psi, I gained valuable...
