Certified Tutors From Boston University

...tutored Reading Comprehension. What makes me a great tutor is my passion for student success and my love for the subjects I want to teach.

...and happy life. I am an avid politico and am currently working at a government affairs firm in downtown Washington, D.C; eventually I would like to have a job in education policy. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling to visit friends and family, running, hiking, and exploring Washington, D.C. Go Terriers!

...of the job and personally very gratifying. I now believe that teaching students how to push through any intellectual roadblocks and overcome learning difficulties can be more important than teaching the subject matter alone. When I am not in the classroom or lab, I spend my time playing water polo or life guarding, surfing and...

...and learning, understanding the very principles and functions of our own bodies can be easy and fun! Beyond science, I love the outdoors and hiking, and am also huge sports fan. I still play ice hockey and am know to sometimes get absorbed in a good tv show or movie on a Sunday afternoon.

...at Boston University I was responsible for teaching two undergraduate level engineering courses, requiring me to teach in both large classroom and one-on-one settings.

I am a born and raised Bostonian,...

...I can try to help you love it too (probably not as much as me). If I can't make you love it, I can at least teach you how to use it. There are many different ways to teach and learn math and I can find the right way for you. I have vast experience...

...strengths and areas that are in need of improvement. I also aim for the student to have a deep, intuitive knowledge of a subject, rather than memorization of an assortment of facts. As for hobbies, I am an outdoorsy person and love camping, hiking, running, and biking around the city. I also love exploring the...

...with the age group I tutor. For older students, I work on building confidence in the subject and help with the memorization-heavy like Biology. I excel in helping students not only learn the information, but also in helping them input the information to memory for exam time. For younger students, I focus on building the...

...minored in History. In 2011, I studied in England to earn a M.A. in Poverty & (International) Development from the University of Sussex. I know first-hand the challenges associated with manipulating equations and writing extended essays. My favorite subjects to tutor are Math, Physics, History, and Engineering. During tutoring sessions, I strive to make students...

...the better part of seven years, mostly focusing on one-on-one sessions in chemistry, physics, and physiology. For me, these are the most enjoyable subjects to tutor because through them we can begin to understand how and why the natural world works. The sciences are what propel our civilization forward and hold the keys to our...

...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...

...I love teaching French because I believe that multilingual children grow into globally aware and culturally sensitive adults. French is spoken in 29 different countries, and bilingual students are better able to appreciate cultural nuances and possess a better understanding of different cultures. I have helped students at the elementary school, high school, and university...

This helps to identify and clarify misunderstandings in the process rather than stumbling over information. I am able to teach...

...motivate the student to learn and build upon. Expository writing is related to Math and Science to me because all three involve logical explanations of subject matter. Expository writing is all about maintaining focus on proving the student's thesis. With that understanding in every paragraph, content just falls into place! My teaching style is built...

...into basic concepts that could be digested little by little. I customized my approach based on each student's individual personality and learning style. While I made sure to be available to assist students whenever needed, my end goal was to provide students a well-rounded understanding of the subject material so they could eventually feel fully...

...appears to be. There are a few key concepts that I like to pass along that can clarify and simplify the problem sets that students face. In some cases, it is a matter of being able to express a problem in mathematical terms. In others it is being able to visualize exactly what happens in...

...students, primarily in Neuroscience, but am passionate and knowledgeable about the world of biological science as a whole.
