Certified Tutors From Massachusetts Institute of Technology

...teaching experience means that I use the things I learned in Math, Chemistry and Biology on a daily basis. My approach to tutoring and teaching is to focus on the concepts that are crucial for the students to understand the material. By concentrating on the important concepts as opposed to memorization, I have found that...

...Yes, the student may get a specific question right, but what about other problems? Will the student have the skill set to solve other problems. To aid the student in learning, I draw in examples from other disciplines or my own experience when I learned the topic and what helped me in my own understanding....

My tutoring experience ranges from teaching a mid-20s Bloomberg employee how to program in Python to helping fellow MIT computer science undergraduates understand the more thorny minutiae of digital system design. I spend most of my free time programming, reading about transportation and politics, and playing softball most summer weekends.

...a bachelor degree in computer science and biology. I went on to medical school and have a masters in biomedical engineering. I taught undergraduate students as a graduate student and trained medical doctors when I graduated. I have worked in private medical practice educating patients and other doctors. I can teach all levels of math,...

...and folks old enough to be my parents, all with great success. If you find math and physics difficult, and are looking for a tutor who can demystify them for you: I would love to help you out! If you love math and physics, and have exhausted other teachers' knowledge but would still like to...

Specializing in teaching Math and Science at all grade levels, I help in understanding the "hard" subjects.

...Science in Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Biomedical Devices and a Bachelor of Science in Music. I have tutored students from the elementary school level to my current peer group. I have experience tutoring through MIT's Seminar XL and Tutorial Services Room programs in core subjects required for graduation (general chemistry, physics, calculus, multivariable...

...that an interest in the subject yields better grades. If you enjoy the subject you are working on, you will be more likely to learn the material. My philosophy is to guide the student to figuring out the correct answer, and hopefully in the process the student will understand the concepts behind the problem.

...are any type of math, physics I, and finance/accounting. I am very good at explaining difficult concepts and breaking down problems into manageable steps. My undergraduate eduction is in engineering and I have an MBA in finance. I am an adjunct professor of finance and have experience tutoring high school and college students.

I have taught intellectual property law for the past two years and SAT preparation for the past 10 years. I am a great tutor because not only are my fundamental verbal and quantitative skills strong, but I am able to communicate my reasoning and problem solving skills quickly and clearly.... My teaching philosophy is to help empower students to stay calm and use what information they know to arrive at the correct answers on tests through...

...one of my favorite activities. I tutored with the NHS program at my school, and assisted with various test-prep programs at my high school. I'm passionate about Math and Chemistry, but what really lights me up about tutoring is the face of someone who finally "gets it". I love to ask questions to the people...

...and science since I was a child, and I loved my time at MIT, earning a BS in Materials Science, a PhD in Materials Science, and doing post doctoral work there. After leaving that academic world, I was drawn to software engineering and started my own software consulting business, which I have run for many...

...dual minors in Biology and Bioengineering. At Villanova, I was the president of the Club Running team, Commissioner of Intramural Sports, and heavily involved in service. Outside of the classroom, I've held internships and co-ops with ChemSolv, Inc., GlaxoSmithKline, and Johnson & Johnson, as well as presented research at the American Chemical Society National Expo....

...Chemistry, but I'm well versed in areas of General Chemistry, as well as Algebra and Geometry. My tutoring philosophy is mostly about proper communication. Most Math and Science classes are normally taught by teaching professionals who are well qualified to lecture in their areas of expertise. However, if the material is not explained in a...

...a vocation I've always held. The oldest of four children, I've been tutoring my siblings for as long as I can remember. From helping my sister draft her high school essays to quizzing my brother on multiplication in the car, teaching is something that comes naturally to me. In high school, I expanded my teaching...

...only my peers, but anyone who needs assistance in the subjects I offer. Speaking of which, the subjects that I find most comfortable teaching are: SAT Math, Algebra I or II, Trigonometry, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus I, II, or III, Differential Equations, Chemistry, Physics. When I say that I feel most comfortable teaching these subjects, all...

...right pace for your sessions and I will help you better understand the material. Outside of tutoring, I am an actor/composer/lyricist who loves to write new showtunes. Musical theatre is something I have grown to love, and the love, surprisingly, stems from my own devotion to cartoons and video games. But, make no mistake, while...

...when they aren't afraid to make mistakes. Because of that, I work hard to build a relationship with my students based on the ideas that learning should be fun, that it's ok not to know the answer, and to never to afraid to ask questions. I think because of this, students feel comfortable and confident...

...My approach is to help students understand the key underlying concepts -- whether it is programming, mathematics or physics. I like to help students reason through a problem. I rarely just give them the answer. I also like to make the subjects relevant to real world problems and to show them why the material is...

...eager to help students achieve their academic goals. Whether you (or your child) have just encountered that great beast of abstraction that is Algebra I or you are an undergraduate looking for some help tackling your first formal statistics course, I am here to help. First and foremost, I believe that in order to learn,...
