Award-Winning Trigonometry Tutors in Somerville, MA

...am excited to work with any student looking for some extra help in math, sciences, writing or French. I have studied education and have experience teaching, and have a strong academic and professional foundation in natural and physical sciences. As a tutor, I aim to support students in using their own unique strengths to help themselves academically, and I hold each individual with high regard and respect. No question is too large or small; I...

...knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading...

...graduated magna cum laude from Cornell University with a BS in engineering physics, and a math minor. I have been tutoring for more than 6 years. For 2.5 years, I taught math to Cornell Engineering undergraduates, and I looked forward to it every week! On Varsity Tutors, I tutor up to college level mathematics and physics, test prep (including AP courses, and SAT reading/writing). Explaining difficult math and science concepts in plain English is my...

I am a college student looking to help fellow students who are in middle school through high school get to the next stages of their lives. School can get rough, and having someone there to help with any particular subjects or go over and review topics is helpful, and I want to be a part of that process.

...my students especially those who can get frustrated easily. As a tutor, I take difficult concepts and break it down into simpler and easier steps for students to remember and repeat over again. In addition, I focus more on how to get to the answer instead of the answer itself because it's critical that students understand all the steps to solve the problems. In my spare time, I enjoy watching sports and exercising especially long...

At the core, I love learning and find it fun. In teaching, I try to convey that sense of fun to my students. I use a variety of techniques depending on my student's learning style, but I always focus on the fun of learning new things.... In a first session with a student, I would introduce the basic concepts and core questions of the subject, and determine my student's learning style in order to plan future...

...an Applied Math concentrator (and pre-med student) at Harvard College, and a Course Assistant (TA) in the Harvard Math Department. I am also a 2016 US Presidential Scholar, 2016 Intel STS semifinalist, and a cum laude graduate of Phillips Academy Andover. Happy to tutor most subjects, for I have perfect scores on the SAT, PSAT, and many subject tests/AP exams. I will be relatively free for the next month, and I find tutoring to be...

I am a rising sophomore at Michigan (Go Blue!!). I have loved math since before I could remember and am pursuing a major in Computer Science. When I am not coding/math-ing (is that a word?), I love to hang out with friends, work out, and scoop ice cream at my (other) job!

...though I have a wide range of other qualifications. For fun, I enjoy board games (a few favorites: Ghost Stories, Betrayal at House on the Hill, Dominion) and video games (Hearthstone, various indie games, and anything Legend of Zelda!), music (mostly piano, although I'm trying to learn guitar and I love singing with friends), and theater (especially improv comedy - Who's Line is it Anyway, Second City, Upright Citizens Brigade, and more).

...have taught the SAT, SSAT, AP Biology, AP Physics, and AP Chemistry for 2 years. I love teaching students HOW to learn, not just WHAT to learn. I always emphasize hard work - because you always get what you work for. I don't care about natural intelligence, because trying your best and being persistent is the key to learning and improvement. My favorite part of teaching is seeing the student understanding a concept for the...
