Award-Winning Literature Tutors serving Boston, MA

...physics and mathematics student from the University of Rhode Island. There, I discovered the teachings of renowned physicist Richard Feynman which, compressed, might read: "if you really understand something, then you can explain it to your grandmother." I spend a lot of my free time reading and writing, and am currently working my way through Dubliners, a series of stories by James Joyce. I also play guitar and know upwards of several hundred songs.

...progress. With progress comes enthusiasm, and eagerness to make those steps their own -- that is when they soar! While I've worked most extensively with middle school students, I have worked with elementary school students in after-school English Language Arts programs, and taught 9th and 10th grade English during my graduate training. I've enjoyed working with students at each of these levels; it has enhanced my practice, encouraging me to identify the embedded skills within...

...forward to their tutoring sessions. While that might seem like a stretch to some, I have seen first-hand how invigorating and liberating it can be to get over the hump in all aspects of English. I graduated from Emerson College in 2012 with a BA in Writing, Literature, and Publishing. While there, I helped countless peers get past their reading and writing issues through fun tutoring sessions. Outside of writing, I work as an SEO...

...how help them improve. When it comes to writing I offer advice but I am a firm believer if not doing the work for the student. I work primarily with middle school - high school range of students. I connect with this age range better considering I was recently in their footsteps but also have siblings in that age range. I have the most experience working one-on-one with students because I feel that it allows...

...improve their grades from Ds to A's and B's. Throughout the process I communicate clearly and frequently with the parents. As a university professor in South Korea I taught English to classes of 20 students or more. I developed my own curriculum, wrote my own lesson plans and assessment tools and performed classroom management. While there is no substitute for school I find that learning one-on-one or in small groups can be more effective. I...

...passion working in education after I graduated from college. I began working at a Summer School with middle schoolers, worked with college students abroad, and then went to graduate school to become an educator. I have been a licensed teacher in MA for 3 years and I love teaching. It is by far one of the most exciting and rewarding careers to have. Although I enjoy working with a larger classroom of students, I especially...

...of all ages (age 4 up to adult) English as a secondary language. These students are from East Asia and have varying degrees of fluency in English. I have found I particularly enjoy working with young children and finding ways to engage them in learning. In my everyday life, I go on many walks with my dog, and I read a lot of books (as one might expect). My favorite books are in the young...

...undergrad. My passion for tutoring stems from the unique tutor-student relationships that develop as we work together towards personalized goals - every student is different, and I have as much to learn from them as they do from me. As a tutor, my responsibility is to listen empathetically and help my students develop or maintain confidence in the subject we are working on. I make sure to take an individualized approach and guide my students toward...

...Not only does this set the student at ease, but it also allows me to identify how the students learns best. Learning can be a cause for anxiety. I like to build a relationship with my students and help them face fears about areas of anxiety. I have multiple ways of presenting content so that each student can discover which way works best for them. My goal is to get each student confident with a...

...well. When the pandemic happened I decided to be a stay at home mom to help my children with their school work. I love teaching and it is my greatest passion. I greatly enjoy when children understand the littlest things. My favorite part is watching the light bulb go off when they get it! My teaching philosophy is to have fun. You are not learning if you're not enjoying what you are doing!

I am a researcher and educator. I'm skeptical of received wisdom, have made a habit of getting paid to travel around the world, and love the outdoors and reading. Let's master your subject, but more importantly, master the art of learning and figure out why you're doing it. "The first principle is that you must not fool yourself - and you are the easiest person to fool." - Richard Feynman

...History. I am a firm proponent of equal education opportunity for all as it is absolutely necessary for anyone to succeed. I try to encourage my students to have an appreciation for their education as it is a privilege they have and millions of others do not. I want to inspire them to try their best in all of their academics and to help them feel confident about school. In my spare time, I enjoy...

...developing as they continue to progress. I have worked with students as an SAT preparatory tutor, as an ESL tutor, and in an elementary school classroom as a student teacher. I am passionate about every subject I tutor, but my personal strengths are in developing literacy skills (reading and writing) in students K-12. I care about my students, and work to incorporate my students' interests and strengths into each tutoring session. When I am not...

...of all ages in museums over the past two years. Prior to that, I worked as a registered nurse for five years where I often did patient education in the middle of fast-paced, high pressure scenarios. I believe everyone has the capacity to succeed academically. However, each person's path to success is unique, requiring personalized strategies that complement individual learning styles. I am happy to work with students to help them discover the strategies that...

...to helping students with test prep and gaining a deeper understanding of their subject matter. As an American History major I'm especially interested in history, government, literature and the arts. Reading and grammar are my specialities! I've worked as a blog editor and communications professional, and so hope to help students improve their essay writing and sentence structure. I have worked with students of all ages and levels, including special needs students with ADHD and...

...meeting the student exactly where their skills are and creating a plan together to reach specific goals in their learning. Together, we won't just "learn Spanish/math", together we will use Spanish/math to prepare for a specific assessment. I find, as a teacher, that setting goals with the students is the best way to make sure we are focused on the student's needs and the needs of the assignment or goal we are aiming for together.

Hi, my name is Maxwell and I am excited to be your tutor. My specialties are in psychology, Spanish, and writing, but I also have experience in math and sciences, particularly with calculus, algebra, chemistry, and biology. As a pre-med student majoring in psychology, I have a well-rounded knowledge of several subjects and will be sure to dedicate my time wisely and wholeheartedly to helping you succeed.

...many of my learning barriers. I have been tutoring students for 6+ years in all academic and organizational areas. I am patient, kind, understanding, and willing to take the time that each student needs to understand a concept. I understand school work does not come naturally for everyone, and I am here to help you through whatever might be challenging you. I look forward to working with you and getting through this together!... My philosophy is...

Learning isn't always easy; in fact it's often uncomfortable. This means it's possible to find meaning even in classes we hate or the ones we think we are bad at. For this reason, I hope to work with learners who might be uncertain about their interests and futures.

...or test prep needs. I feel proud when my students tell me of their success. It encourages me to continue working hard and improving my teaching abilities so that students can benefit from someone who can convey information well to them. My goals is to be of great assistance to students who are either striving for the highest goals or struggling to put the pieces together. With both ends of the spectrum, I am willing...
