In addition to my experience teaching Latin, I have previously taught classes and tutored students individually for the ACT, SAT, and SSAT.

I particularly enjoy helping students master these entrance exams and seeing them gain confidence as they realize...

...students on-campus before starting a full-time job as an Associate Writer for a Boston-based financial firm. In 2017, I decided to pursue my love of education and travel by relocating to Leon, Nicaragua. There, I taught elementary, middle, and high school English classes, and tutored adults in the evenings. Since my return to Boston, I've been working in the travel industry coordinating tours in Europe and contributing to our travel blog. Tutoring has always been...

...high school students but am willing to teach at any level. My specialties lie in the sciences and with my strong research background I am not a stranger to navigating and explaining what seems like daunting concepts. Going beyond the technical details of each subject, I believe that strong foundational study skills can assist the student in all their subjects. While I am sure my methods arent perfect, I hope to narrow down on the perfect...

...certification to teach introductory engineering and design. I designed curriculum and instruction tailored to meet the needs of a wide range of students from age 9 to adults. Particularly, I focus on SMART goals. o Strategic: Working to find common ground and being well planned to meet the immediate goals as well as building toward a future. o Measureable: Knowing that we have met the goals includes a process of evaluation, review and reporting. o...

...to life. From pop culture to politics, we can find common ground in order to link your everyday interests to your studies! I've worked with medical students, reviewing information with them and putting a different spin on concepts in order to make those concepts clear. I've also worked with GED prep students who are working out information anew. I have a background in psychiatry, which serves as a testament to the patient, non-judgmental approach that...

...broad range of subjects (math, science, writing, grammar) and have served as a teaching assistant in both mathematics and biology. To me, meaningful and productive learning begins with connection; I enjoy getting to know my students and seek to foster a comfortable, low-stress environment in which we can work together to capitalize upon strengths and interests, identify challenges, and explore a variety of strategies to maximize learning outcomes and performance. I get a thrill out...

...make sure that the student and I are on the same page. This means, in the first place, that I understand exactly what the students goal is and what she or he wants and needs from me. It also means that the student understands how I plan to facilitate the achievement of her or his goal. I am also sure to learn from the student what she or he feels to be their greatest weakness...

...necessary the ones I found most important. Rather, it was where the teachers lit up the classroom by sharing their passion for the subject and really engaged the class. I try to approach tutoring in the same way. I believe student teachers are a valuable resource because we have just gone through learning, struggling, and excelling in these subjects. Since high school, I have mastered the art of scrambling through the internet in search for...

...prepared and confident. In my mind, a test is an opportunity to display hard work and knowledge, not something to be feared. My tutoring style is very focused, fun, and relaxed. I believe students do best when in a calm, encouraging atmosphere. I never stray from the task at hand, but I do introduce a certain level of silliness and play in my teaching. I think this makes a student more open to learning and...

...variety of skill and interest levels, both calculus and non-calculus based. From January 2014 to June 2015, I was a volunteer tutor at Beacon Academy, mainly for algebra, for motivated students attempting to enter competitive high schools who did not have the financial means to do so without scholarships. As I've mentioned, I obtained a B.A. in physics and mathematics from Macalester College in May 2009, and I obtained my Ph.D in physics from Boston...

In helping students with reading and writing skills, I enjoy using multiple different approaches to develop a well-rounded understanding of the techniques, while making the sessions fun. I'm a strong proponent of keeping studying dynamic. It is important to me that my students come away from our sessions with not only the scores or grades they desire, but a deeper understanding...

...who I am today. With a gentle push from my mother who insisted I take the PSAT for admissions to a competitive high school with an IB program, I reluctantly gave in and took the test. On the day of the results, I couldn't find my name on the list of accepted students, to which my mom was in despair. But she was in joy when she spotted my name on the addendum list of...

I have done tutoring and teaching work for over 5 years, from one-on-one sessions to leading classes of up to 20 students, working with students from middle school through college. The majority of my experience is with standardized testing (SAT, ACT, and GMAT) and math of all levels through multivariable calculus.

I enjoy working with people from a wide variety of educational backgrounds and ages. From the young people who are learning to make education a lifelong part of their development to adults returning school, I feel confident helping people at different stages achieve their...

But I have always decided to keep going, no matter how hard the obstacles. I have worked hard in school and I hope that I can help make learning easier for you! Over the years of studying in college I have developed effective study habits and problem solving...

...have five years of tutoring experience in both math and computer science, as well as teaching experience at the college level. Tutoring/teaching has always been my passion. Seeing a student grasp a concept they had struggled with is immensely rewarding. In my approach to tutoring, I try to constantly respond to feedback from my students. If the way I am explaining something isn't clicking, I try to come at it from a different angle. I...

...favorite subjects to teach are Biology, Chemistry and Math, whether it be to lower school or college-aged students. I graduated from Summa Cum Laude Brandeis University with degrees in Chemistry and Biology, which provided me with a deep understanding of these subjects. I also conducted a research project in the field of Chemical Biology that gave me an integrated and "non-textbook" understanding of these subjects, as well as Mathematics. Whatever you are hoping to gain...

...math, english, essays, study skills, SAT prep, and more. As a teacher I really strive to understand where each student is coming from in his or her path toward learning. I like to look at the overall program of study, and work to incorporate a student's strengths into some of the areas they are currently working on to improve. By looking at all the skills a student has I believe we can find a way...
