Award-Winning PSAT Tutors serving Massachusetts

...why they picked a certain answer or what steps they took to solve a problem. I also want students to have a connection to the material and understand how it relates to their existing knowledge. The more connections we make between concepts, the better understanding we have of the big picture. When I'm not working or studying, I like to spend time outdoors walking, hiking, and swimming. I also love music and usually aim to...

...think that truly understanding the material on a deeper level is more important and beneficial than memorizing shortcuts to get to the answer. I am very patient and will work alongside the student toward reaching that key moment when the material finally clicks and everything makes sense. Outside of my research job, I was a student-athlete for five years on the crew team in high school and college, and I currently volunteer for the Head...

...had been giving them so much trouble. It's a really terrific feeling to know that I can make a difference in someone's life that way, however small it may be. I also understand that to seek tutoring help can potentially be a nervous or uncomfortable feeling at first, and so I want anyone who might work with me to know that A) I think it takes definite courage to seek help for anything, and that...

...a passion for narrative and communication, where these subjects in the humanities meet and form a core source of critical thinking skills that fuel inquiry and success in both higher education and life. In addition to teaching at Binghamton and taking on a number of private clients, I designed and taught college-level courses to high school students as part of MIT's Educational Studies Program. This program places undergraduate and post-college instructors with small classes of...

I am a Biophysics and Chemistry double major at Case Western Reserve University with a minor in Computer Science, and I have been a tutor for over 4 year.

...I graduated summa cum laude with departmental honors and was elected to Union's chapters of Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Tau Delta. I will be attending Boston University's College of Communication in the fall to pursue my Master of Science in Journalism. Outside of tutoring and school, I enjoy listening to NPR (#careergoals), reading (anything and everything!), and traveling. My most recent big trip was to the Caribbean, but I also travel within the Northeast...

...I have experience both as a classroom teacher and a tutor and in these roles I look for ways to make learning fun and rewarding. I especially love teaching reading and writing and I have taught or tutored these subjects to students ranging from kindergarten through adults. I also have experience tutoring test prep subjects and focus both on the content material and test taking skills. My passion is psychology and I have been able...

...This manifest in the form of banter or jokes embedded so that the tutoring feels more interactive rather than someone talking at you. I like tutoring to be a setting where students can feel comfortable asking questions so any knowledge gaps can be filled. I know the importance of studying hard, but also maintaining a healthy balance of fun to prevent burnout and I keep that in mind when tutoring to ensure that student's mental...

...choices for "fun" reading. As a teacher, I am certified to teach Social Studies grades 7-12 and currently teach high school social studies. I have additional experience teaching elementary school students, middle school school students, and adult learners. With my training from Brown as well as ongoing training from the Rhode Island Department of Education and other reputable providers, I continue to hone my abilities to facilitate the learning process for students of all ages,...

...for disadvantaged schools, and exploring new methods and practices for improving my teaching skill. Experience teaching a variety of subjects and ages has also imbued me with a knack for creativity in coming up with individual lesson plans tailored to fit each unique student. Depending on their particular needs, background, and learning style, I come up with creative solutions to make the material relevant and engaging. Whether through analogies, drawn explanations, or useful anecdotes, I...

...also deeply involved in test prep tutoring. I have taken and tutored both the ACT and the SAT. I enjoy tutoring these tests because I get the opportunity to see students learn about the ways that they learn and take tests. Furthermore, it's very rewarding to see students get excited about their tangible score gains that come as a result of hard work. I aim to adapt my approaches to each student, but this always...

...I will be attending Northeastern University to continue my education with a Ph.D. in Physics. I love helping students succeed, and I bring a strong Math and Science background to help students struggling with these difficult subjects. I believe that the secret to succeeding in these subjects is not in memorizing solutions and equations, but by developing problem solving skills so students will know how to approach and set up problems in any STEM setting.

...ADD/ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder. My favorite subjects to tutor are Psychology, French, writing, and SAT prep (especially SAT Verbal), though I have a wide range of other qualifications. For fun, I enjoy board games (a few favorites: Ghost Stories, Betrayal at House on the Hill, Dominion) and video games (Hearthstone, various indie games, and anything Legend of Zelda!), music (mostly piano, although I'm trying to learn guitar and I love singing with friends), and...

Hello! I'm eager to help you in your education. I'm a recent graduate of Harvard College looking to apply to law school. My senior thesis was written on John Dewey's ideas of education, which I deeply believe has incredible power to transform individuals and society.

...student. Through my religious school, I taught students of all ages, ranging from Pre-K through 8th Grade. In high school, I helped prepare students for AP, SAT, ACT, and SAT subject tests as part of my role in the National Honor Society. I have considerable personal experience with a vast array of subjects and love sharing my knowledge and experience with others. From calculus to creative writing, I have a genuine passion for all academic...

As a master's student and former medical student, I know how challenging academics can be. I also know how having a helping hand, a guidance through the confusion, can help one gain confidence in themselves to excel. From tutoring children to post-graduates, I have seen that all students (no matter their age, level of education, strengths, weaknesses, etc.) who are willing to learn can succeed. ... In a typical first session, the student and I usually...

...pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really...

...tests, AP Exams and Regents examinations. I am eager to work with students in these areas, with a particular emphasis on reading, writing, and history. My experience working with children expands beyond tutoring. I also have worked with students on their college essays. I absolutely enjoy working with them and deeply care about promoting their education. In my free time, I keep up with the current events, read, run, sail, and watch Netflix.

...the SAT, SSAT, AP Biology, AP Physics, and AP Chemistry for 2 years. I love teaching students HOW to learn, not just WHAT to learn. I always emphasize hard work - because you always get what you work for. I don't care about natural intelligence, because trying your best and being persistent is the key to learning and improvement. My favorite part of teaching is seeing the student understanding a concept for the first time.

...passion for teaching. In my free time, I rock climb, dance, and build crazy robotics projects. I love helping students of all ages build understanding and excitement for various subjects. I believe that, with patience and the right set of tools, you can grow to enjoy any subject.
