Award-Winning Tutors from Tufts University

I am a graduate of Tufts University and an incoming law student at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. I spent over a year studying for the LSAT and in the process, became very interested in the exam and how it works. I developed numerous successful strategies that allowed me to score a 178 on test day. I hope to tutor new students and help them achieve the same results I had. I enjoy going over various strategies and ways of attacking each question and seeing all of the hard work pay off!

Hello, my name is Lena! I graduated from Tufts University in 2017 with a BS in Biology, and I just completed my MS of Biomedical Studies at Drexel University. In my master's program, I was a peer tutor for graduate level sciences, such as anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry. In August, I will be starting medical school to pursue my dream of being a physician. In the meantime, I am here to help with pre-med coursework, MCAT prep, and many other classes. I am frequently available for online tutoring.

My passion for photography began at 12 when I won a camera at a photo expo in NYC. My interest was sparked, and photography became my hobby and grew into a passion. I photograph a variety of subjects -portraits & events to scenics & landscapes. Wherever I travel, my camera accompanies me to document and create mementos of the places I visit. I hope to capture images that makes people feel that they are actually there experiencing that moment or place in time. My professional work includes photographing portraits, weddings & events. I completed training at the Golden Gate School of Photography's Fundamentals of Professional Photography and the Rocky Mountain School of Photography's Summer Intensive Program in Professional Photography. I continue to study and refine my skills and techniques. I look forward to guiding students to help them develop stronger skills and create more compelling and impactful images.

I am an Electrical Design Engineer in Walpole Massachusetts working on embedded system development. I received a Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering from UMass Dartmouth and a Masters of Science in Electrical Engineering from Tufts University. I have extensive experience in Math, Science, Physics and Engineering which I use on a daily basis. I previously tutored at UMass and have been a teaching assistant for more than 20 students. I am also involved in an outreach program at my local vocational high school to help motivate young students towards engineering disciplines. I pride myself on helping students break down problems and learn problem solving skills that can be applied to any subject. I believe education is a lifelong commitment and getting the most out of it create success. I enjoy working with students of all ages and believe I can help them achieve higher levels of learning.

I am a recent Chemistry Ph.D. graduate with a 7 month break before starting in my next role in management consulting. As the most enjoyable experiences of my career to date have been in teaching and mentoring, I am spending the intervening period tutoring!I received my Ph.D. in Chemistry from MIT, where I was a Presidential Fellow and a Dept. of Defense Graduate Fellow, and my B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Tufts University, Summa Cum Laude with Highest Thesis Honors. Over the course of my scientific research career I have produced 14 research publications, given 12 talks at international conferences, including the largest annual Physics, Chemistry, Materials, and Chemical Engineering conferences in the world, and have received 8 awards, totaling over $300k, specifically in recognition of my research accomplishments.As both an undergraduate and graduate student I have also taught, tutored, and mentored students. At MIT, I won a Graduate Teaching Award for thrice-weekly recitations of Intro Chemistry and Physical Chemistry at MIT; students consistently outperformed their peers in 5 other sections (higher average exam grades on all 4 exams and 9/12 pop quizzes, by an average margin of 5 grade points). As a graduate student, I have mentored over a dozen undergraduate students individually in their research, academics, career planning, and time/workflow management.Alongside my scientific career I have pursued an interest in business, leading to my pending employment as a Management Consultant. I took a full year of Management Science coursework at MIT's Sloan School of Management, including Microeconomics, Marketing, and Competitive Strategy. I applied that education to consulting engagement both freelance and through MIT. I have worked with a $16b Chinese state-owned enterprise on Sales force organization design, a $27b glass manufacturer on market entry into OLED lighting market, and a healthcare software startup on business model development. In those engagements I worked alongside graduate students from MIT and other international schools, and on several occasions presented findings to the senior management of the client firm.In addition to being a Native English speaker, I have studied Japanese for 7 years, including 3 years of college-level coursework and a 6 month stint working in Sales for a $17b semiconductor manufacturer in Japan.No matter what your background and challenges are as a student, I look forward to working together with you!

I am a recent graduate of Tufts University with experience tutoring primarily middle-school age students in English, science, math and history, and adult learners in politics.I am especially passionate about reading and writing, and increasing literacy with my students.Outside of tutoring, I currently work for a tech company in Somerville, and I enjoy exploring the city, playing the piano and guitar, and writing.

I am a master's student in Astrophysics at Tufts University and a 2017 graduate of Colgate University with a Bachelor of Arts in Astronomy/Physics. Before going back to school in the Fall of 2019 I spent time working in healthcare analytics and tutoring students in Math and Physics in the Greater New York City area. I now am available to tutor all levels of Math, Physics, Astronomy and programming in Python. I am passionate about Astronomy and truly believe that learning about the wonders of the World and Universe around us truly enriches our quality of life and education. I love seeing the "lightbulb moment" when working with students where they are able to connect the dots and overcome a particular challenge that we have been working on together and always strive to improve student outcomes whether that be mastering a new subject or polishing up their problem solving abilities, there is no greater feeling than being able to help someone learn and encourage a lifelong love of learning. When I am not tutoring or at school I can be found going on a run through Cambridge, supporting all of my (mostly terrible) New York sports teams and most recently improving my cooking and baking skills.

I did my undergraduate and doctoral training in Boston, at Wellesley College and Tufts University respectively. I have a BA in Latin American Studies and a PhD in Food Policy and Applied Nutrition.My mother tongue is Spanish; I am also fluent in Italian; and have extensive advanced fluency in French and German. I picked up my language skills while working and traveling to over 65 countries. My extensive linguistics knowledge coupled with my teaching experience allows me to help students struggling with learning Spanish; or writing college essays, term papers, dissertations or articles for publication; or organization skills to improve academic performance. Because of my varied travel experience I find it easy to adjust to students experiences and learning gaps in order to show them how to utilize the knowledge they already have and build on that knowledge in order to attain greater skills.

Hi There!Recent Harvard Graduate School of Education alumni and Child Development Specialist looking to make the world of learning a little easier and lot more fun for students of all ages. I am an avid reader and love to enhance the lives of students of all abilities through the power of literacy. As a lifelong learner and avid believer in empowering students with strategies and insight into different ways of learning things that they can truly master and incorporate them into their daily lives. I have tutored a wide array of subjects and ages ranging from 4 to 28. In addition to 4 years as a literacy specialist/tutor, I have specialized in standardized test preparation and working with students with mild-severe learning and/or social emotional disabilities.

Tutoring has been a passion of mine for many years. I began tutoring in high school, where I tutored my peers in algebra, geometry, and Spanish and met weekly with a third grade girl to help her with her math and reading homework. I loved everything about it; it was so rewarding to get to know each student and watch them grow more confident in their abilities to tackle their schoolwork and problem-solve on their own. It was fascinating to witness the ways different people think, and I loved the challenge of adjusting my tutoring style accordingly. This passion led me to pursue a career in making education more effective for all students.To pursue this goal, I majored in cognitive science and minored in child development and computer science at Tufts University. My major taught me about how the brain works, and how it learns most effectively. With this background, I bring scientifically tested learning, memorization, and studying techniques to my tutoring sessions. I also minored in child development to better understand how brains learn differently across the lifespan; as a result, I understand ways to tailor my tutoring practice to the age of the student I'm working with. For example, the brain becomes much better at thinking abstractly over time as it becomes able to hold more pieces of information in mind at once. Thus, when tutoring younger children, it's helpful to rely much more on pictures and other visuals so the young learner doesn't have to maintain all the information from the discussion in their heads. My minor in computer science stemmed from my desire to pursue a career in educational technology. Technology can make learning more interactive and engaging for students no matter the subject, and I am interested in designing software that makes the learning process fun. Next September, I will begin working toward my Masters in Computer Science at Northeastern University to work toward this goal.After my tutoring experiences in high school, I had numerous experiences tutoring learners of all ages, from preschoolers to adults. I spent my first year of college tutoring preschoolers in reading comprehension and alphabet knowledge; I served as the curriculum writer and head teacher of a computer programming camp for children aged 4-7, using the ScratchJr programming language; I was a writing tutor for three years as I worked with other Tufts students on their term papers; I taught introductory Spanish classes to adult men who were immigrating from Africa to Spain; And lastly, I was a T.A. for a statistics course in my senior year of school, where I helped college students learn statistical concepts as well as the programming language R. All of these experiences are detailed in-depth on my resume.Of these experiences, I would have to say that my work tutoring writing and computer science have been my favorite. Both subjects offer a lot of room for students to put their own, personalized touch on their work, which lends itself well to my personal tutoring style. I ask students a lot of questions during tutoring sessions rather than simply telling them the answers, as this helps guide students to develop thought processes they can use to problem-solve on their own in the future. In addition, it helps the student talk through the material and reveals where they may have some misunderstandings. There are many right ways to write a program or a paper, so when I tutor subjects like writing and computer science, I get to make these questions more open-ended and help students let their creativity flow. This is harder in subjects like math, where there is only one right answer, but I still enjoy asking students questions as we puzzle through challenging questions and plan out approaches to word problems together. No matter the subject, I view myself as a partner to the student as they make their way toward mastery of the material.I look forward to working with you!

Political Science and Economics undergraduate at Tufts University who will be working in Investment Banking next year. Here to serve as a tutor in whatever capacity.

I've been passionate about helping students ever since I was a student myself in middle school and high school. I used to tutor my friends and help them with their homework. After I graduated from high school, I got my bachelor's in Fine Arts from Tufts University and a CTEFL certificate from Boston Academy of English. For the past 5 years, I've been living and working in Laos, where I've had the pleasure of teaching so many incredible students. In my previous job, I taught English in classrooms, tutored individual students, provided online classes, and even helped to developed workshops in subjects like environmental protection, computer basics, and menstrual health. I trained adults to teach English as a second language and get comfortable teaching in front of a class, often for the first time! I have found that teaching English has allowed me to travel the world and make a difference in the lives of so many students, young and old! I hope someday to start my own English center and social enterprise here in Laos with my husband. When I was younger, I always dreamed of being an art teacher. Although it is not as useful a subject in my current location, it is one I'm very passionate about. I think art is an incredible form of expression and with more or more opportunities to earn money online through creative media, it's a great way to get a head start!

I am a graduate of Boston University (BU) as of 2012, and I recently graduated from Tufts University in 2014. I have received my Bachelors of Science in Biomedical Engineering from BU, and I have earned my Masters of Science degree in the same field at Tufts. I currently work as a research scientist in Cambridge studying therapies for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease. My tutoring experience stems from my involvement in the National Honor Society at Xaverian Brothers High School where I tutored Freshman and Sophomore classes in our mathematics and science, specifically Algebra, Calculus and Biology. Furthermore, after being inducted in the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society at BU, I led tutoring sessions specifically geared to Engineering principles such as mechanics, physics, and mathematics. As an engineer, my favorite subjects to study are High School to College Mathematics as well as the Sciences (Physics, Chemisty, Biology) because it gives the mind a great workout! I am a generally upbeat and motivated individual which is essentially translated to my tutoring strategies; if you can somehow make the subject engaging, the more chances the student will want to learn the material! I enjoy that "A-ha!" moment when the student fully and finally understands a concept! In my spare time, I am a competitive ballroom dancer, theater aficionado and a scientific researcher in biomedical engineering!

I'm an engaging and experienced teacher of Art History and essay writing skills. I hold an MA in Art History from Tufts University, where I worked as Head Teaching Assistant for the introductory Art History courses. I also have 3+ years of experience working as a museum educator in New York City and elsewhere.I live in Providence, RI with a sweet tan dog named Nelly. In my spare time I like to bake, ride on the local bike paths, and relax with reality TV shows.

I graduated summa cum laude from Tufts University with a B.S. in Mathematics, and I am currently an Ed.M. candidate at Harvard Graduate School of Education. For the past four years, I have been a math tutor for the Tufts Literacy Corps, focusing on arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry and geometry. I have also taught Earth and Space Science at Breakthrough Collaborative, violin at the Tufts Community Music Program, and worked with students from age seven to seventeen.Learning is a process of creative discovery, and with each student I tutor, I treasure being a part of that process. I always hope to awaken in my students a love of learning, not just for math, but for a variety of subjects. An avid musician, I hold a B.Mus. in violin performance from the New England Conservatory of Music and enjoy playing classical music in my spare time. I also love a good book, creative writing, the accordion, dancing, and the outdoors.

My name is Carole Bersani, and I live in beautiful Belmont, Massachusetts.My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Westfield State University, a Master of Arts in Education from Tufts University, and a TEFL Certificate in online instruction.I have a solid and varied background in Education, working with both children and adults. I have taught all levels and subjects of primary school and also ESL for adults. My time volunteering with the Peace Corps in Paraguay was an amazing experience, which helped me to understand the value of culture in learning.I believe every student is an individual learner and must be treated as such. I'm happy to say that I am dedicated to engaging and motivating every student I meet. I do this by employing interactive activities and providing relevant, interesting explanations to make a concept clear. I like to make learning exciting, and I encourage the students to have fun!

I am a Sophmore, at Tufts University. I'm working towards receiving my Bachelors in Chemistry and minoring in Studio Arts. I have tutored in highschool and was a counselor for Brilliant Detroit Summer Camps where I assisted with educational activities for kids ages 3-10. The subjects that I am most passionate about tutoring are Science and Math. As someone pursuing a STEM degree I enjoy seeing how the classroom applies to the real world, and as I engage with students I want to also help them see those connections.

I enjoy working one on one with students to increase their understanding, learning and confidence. I like to use different methods of teaching, depending on the individual and their strengths. I am an advocate for determination, organization, and hard work in approaching learning and achieving success in school.

I love tutoring and working with children in general to see those ahh-haa moments. To share my knowledge and watch a student smile while they work with me. My philosophy is you can reach and teach all learners. I have 25 years experience in the classroom and 6 years tutoring off line and online. I have 2 Masters one in Education and one in Couseling (children only) I also have a post Masters Certificate in Applied behavior Analysis. I love teaching reading because I feel reading opens the whole world to a child. It is one of my favorite hobbies and I like to get students loving it not struggling with it. I am a certified Wilson and Visualize and Verbalize trainer and trained in Fountas and Pinnell, and Just Words. So I am fully qualified to teach reading to students through all the elementary years and above. I also am trained in teaching Math and love how sequential and logical it is since that is me all the way. I am also trained in Lucy Calkins writing and other writing programs. This makes me your go to for elementary education.

I graduated from Tufts University with a double major in Mathematics and Psychology. Subsequently I earned Masters degrees in Education ( Stanford), Accounting/MBA ( Northeastern) and Finance ( George Washington). I earned my Credential to teach Mathematics and Psychology in California, and taught high school in San Jose. I also taught Math at Tabor Academy and at Avery Coonley School. I left teaching full time and now work for the US Government working on accounting and Finance Systems. I am an expert skier and teach skiing during the winter months. I missed teaching so I currently tutor students in all levels of Math and love it! The joy of helping individual students understand a concept and succeed, where they thought they couldn't, is what keeps me tutoring! I enjoy working with all levels of students, working to understand what is/are the concept(s) keeping each one from reaching their potential. Even though I am a self proscribed math geek, I don't expect my students to love math as much as I do, but I try to impart my enthusiasm and love for math. Let's try and enjoy Math together.

I believe that everybody enjoys learning. The frustration most people experience in school stems from the fact that the topics are approached in a rigid "one size fits all" manner. I will work with each student to tailor their learning experience to their likes and dislikes. Rather than use boring, generic objects I will use subject matter directly related to the student's interests.Furthermore, I understand that not everybody learns in the same manner. I excel at auditory learning while many others prefer visual information. I will work with each student in a way that I believe they will be most receptive to. I will help them understand how a word problem relates to a picture or an equation, which is the most vital skill to have in mathematics.Most importantly, I will help the student have fun. I remember a lot more information from the teachers who made learning fun and exciting than those who had dry lectures. I hope to leave the students eager to learn more.

I'm a supportive english and math tutor who helps students build confidence and succeed. I explain concepts in a clear, simple way and make learning engaging and even fun! My lessons are tailored to each student's needs, whether they're catching up or looking to get ahead. I create a positive, nonjudgmental space where mistakes are part of learning and students feel comfortable asking questions.

Tutoring is much more individualized than larger classes. Each student can receive help based on their individual needs, making learning faster and more efficient. Accounting for each student's personal strengths and weaknesses makes tutoring far more personalized, fulfilling, and enjoyable. Standardized tests and science courses are my strong suit since those are areas where I have extensive research experience and can explain concepts clearly.I am a current Tufts undergraduate science major with experience teaching K-12 students. Additionally, I tutored students in reading comprehension, essay writing, and algebra. I also taught programming and coding lessons classes to control NAO robots and use Scratch to create movies or games.

In high school, standardized tests did not come naturally to me. With an A average in all AP and honors classes and an overflowing list of extracurricular activities, it frustrated me that something like one test score could affect my college admissions. But like most challenges in my life, I viewed it as motivation. I took a course, got private math tutoring, took practice tests, and came up with essay prompts. Ultimately, I got a very strong score, ranking me in the 96th percentile. I have since graduated cum laude from Tufts University with a BA in English and minors in Art History and Media Studies.As a member of the National Honor Society and Peer Leaders, I decided to use my experience to help others. I knew there had to be other students out there who were extremely bright and simply didn't excel at standardized tests. I began tutoring for the SAT, specializing in the verbal and writing sections. It was an incredible feeling to coach students through this test and watch their scores climb. I later had that same satisfaction on a personal level when I tutored my younger brother throughout his SAT preparation. He is now finishing his freshman year at his top choice university and he could not be happier. In addition to private SAT instruction, I tutored English and History throughout middle school and high school, as well as test prep including ISEE, SHSAT, SSAT, and TACHS.I think my own struggle and ultimate success makes me a stronger tutor than if it had been easy for me from the start. I understand the roadblocks that come up in certain students' heads. Not everyone's brain works the same way and I think it is extremely helpful to be able explain things from different anglesto translate this language of the test or textbook.I have a real love of learning and my background in English and performance (I am a freelance writer and actor) reflects my passion for communication.

Recently, I received my Doctorate in Chemistry from Tufts University. I have over 10 years of tutoring experience, specializing in subjects such as AP Chemistry, Calculus, and Algebra. I aim to foster a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to explore and ask questions. I am dedicated to helping students achieve their academic goals and build confidence in their abilities.

I am a graduate of Michigan State University, where I studied Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Humanities. I am currently enrolled at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, where I study Development Economics and International Monetary Policy. I have worked as a Teaching Assistant, Research Assistant, and as an Actuary, and have a particular passion for teaching Mathematics. When tutoring I try to include visualizations and real world examples whenever I can so that it does not feel like a fruitless exercise. I help students reach their goals with a two-pronged approach: reinforcing and building upon strengths while targeting weaknesses. In my free time I exercise, play the piano and volunteer with the Jewish Vocational Service.

Hello! My name is Nikola Muromcew. I am a current sophomore at Tufts University, where I am pursuing a BA in Mathematics. I have loved math since elementary school and look forward to working with you to foster your love for math as well!

Engineer by day, tutor by night! When not building implants, I enjoy exploring math and physics with students of all ages. I've tutored students in Kindergarten through college, helping with understanding everything from basic addition to multivariable calculus. I have a bachelor's degree in mechanical and biomedical engineering from Tufts university.

As a passionate tutor with experience in subjects ranging from AP Calculus BC to AP Chemistry, I am dedicated to fostering a supportive learning environment where students can thrive. Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering at Tufts University, I bring a unique perspective to my tutoring approach, emphasizing real-world applications of complex concepts. My teaching philosophy centers on building strong connections with students, encouraging them to ask questions and explore their interests. I find immense joy in helping students achieve their academic goals and develop a love for learning, whether they are preparing for the ACT or mastering piano. Let's work together to unlock your potential!

I've always been interested in thinking deeply about anything. Whether word puzzles, chess moves, history, mathematics, or literature. As a kid, I would trade going to the playground for staring at a map and try to remember the countries, their capitals, their borders, etc. I then found the world of mathematics where thinking deeply about even the simplest ideas, as Bertrand Russell did in his famous paper proving why 1 + 1 = 2 from the ground up, was key to mastery. I wasn't fond of rote memorization and applying formulae. Instead, I was interested in the patterns that were involved. Why was there a formula for quadratic, cubic, and quartic equations but not quintic equations? I was curious. I found my Wikipedia. There I read about Galois Theory and how Galois proved there to be no quintic formula. Of course, I had not the slightest clue about group theory, ring theory, or Galois theory at the time. With this yearning to always try to seek more knowledge, I didn't hesitate to major in mathematics at Tufts University. As a tutor, when I work with students I try to make them question everything and try to guide their curiosity.

I have a BA in English, Magna Cum Laude, from Tufts University. And I have an MFA in Creative Writing from Rutgers-Camden. While I worked on my MFA, I taught Writing courses at Camden County College. This past fall, I served as the Emerging Writer-in-Residence at Penn State Altoona. I can teach and tutor a variety of subjects, but I adore English: high school essays, college admission essays, AP Literature and Composition. I'm a good teacher, and I can help you improve your reading and writing skills. I believe that learning can, and should be fun. My students and I generally have a good time working together. I only teach subjects I'm passionate about, and it shows in my students' progress, and in their growing love and/or tolerance of the material.When I'm not helping others with their writing, I'm working on my own. I write fiction and essays. My work has appeared in the New York Times, and a wide variety of literary magazines. I also play the guitar, and I enjoy sports quite a bit: watching and playing.

I am an enthusiastic, empathetic, student-centered educator focused on meeting students of all ages where they are and helping them achieve their goals. I have been teaching and learning all my life! My trademark pedagogy involves personalized, hands-on, interactive activities (even in a remote setting). My unique approach employs interactive strategies across subjects, especially essay writing, critical thinking, and analysis. I am particularly attuned to students with unique learning styles. As someone who attended college and received both my advanced degrees on scholarship (Vassar, Emerson, Tufts), I am an advocate for equal opportunity education. I have worked one-on-one with students of all ages, including thesis and dissertation coaching. For me, learning is fun!

I graduated from Tufts University, where I studied History and Economics. I love to learn languages, travel, and help others. I have a straightforward and concise teaching style.

I am a middle school special education teacher, who has also taught middle school ELA, ESL in a summer program to teenagers, private ESL lessons, and at a home for students with behavioral and emotional issues. I strive to create engaging and challenging lessons to help students improve their skills and become more prepared for college and career success!

I am currently a masters student at the Tufts Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy specializing in international law and international security studies. I also am an LSAT prep course teacher for Kaplan International. Personally, I have scored within the top 5% of test takers on the LSAT.

Hello future students! I am a graduate from Tufts University with a degree in Child Study and Human Development, though I will soon be pursuing a Master's at the University of Vermont to become a speech-language pathologist. Since undergrad, I have worked as a K-2 Literacy tutor, a social worker at a Head Start Preschool, and most recently ran a teen leadership development program at a children's museum. I recognize that traditional education isn't suited for all types of learning, so I'm dedicated to making material accessible to my students for their unique needs. I think that tutoring should be fun while increasing students' confidence and expertise in their subject. When not working, I like to be outside enjoying the sun or at a concert (or both!). I can't wait to meet you!

I tutor students in both the Math and English portions of the PSAT, SAT, and ACT exams. I also tutor the subjects of Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Algebra II, and AP Calculus AB. Currently, I am a rising junior at Tufts University working towards a Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics. I have over 3 years of experience in peer tutoring high school math. In addition, I have tutored over 50 students on Varsity Tutors in the past 2 years. It brings me joy to tutor students because I am able to help them grow in confidence and in their understanding of new topics.

Hi! I'm a student at Tufts University studying Biology and Public Health. I love teaching, and I'm so excited to work with you!My teaching style is mostly about building strong foundational knowledge, filling understanding gaps, and using those skills to develop higher-level thinking and understanding that's often found on tests.My goal is to make sure you understand every concept clearly, so we can go at whatever pace you need to get you where you need to be!

I have been tutoring since 2004 and have also served as adjunct professor of English at Newbury College and Spanish at Fisher College, both in Boston.
