Rachel
Algebra Tutor • +11 Subjects
I am committed to making tutoring fun and beneficial for all my students. I graduated magna cum laude from my high school as salutatorian in 2018, with distinction from Duke University with a B.S. in neuroscience in 2022 and am an incoming graduate student at Columbia University. Although each of my academic experiences posed different challenges, one thing made me successful at each stage- my zeal for learning. In my experience as a tutor and in my future endeavors, I want to impart this excitement for learning to each of my students. In tutoring sessions, I introduce topics in fun and engaging ways while thoroughly teaching key concepts and important skills. I then give students the opportunity to personally engage with the material by exploring and problem-solving. I adapt my approaches for each students' particular learning style, strengths, and weaknesses to make them excel in their desired subjects and excited about learning.

Courtney
1st Grade Math Tutor • +52 Subjects
My philosophy as an educator is that every child can learn. I believe that often in education children are given up on if they cannot grasp a concept when in fact it is the education system that is failing the child. Every child has their own way of learning, and as an educator, it is my mission to make sure that every child achieves his/her goals.I am originally from Orlando, FL but relocated to Massachusetts a little over a year ago. I went to the University of Central Florida where I obtained my Bachelors in Elementary Education. I have six years experience in education and five years experience as a tutor. I love spending time outdoors with my family and watching sporting events.
Kouame
Algebra Tutor • +33 Subjects
I am currently at the University of Texas at Austin pursuing a bachelor degree in petroleum engineering. Since January 2016, I have been tutoring Math and Physics at my current college. These two subjects are my favorites because I am proficient. My tutoring style consists in having my students complete some practice problems that encompass the concepts they do not understand in order to identify their needs and help them master what could not before. My interests outside of academia consist in playing soccer and swimming. Also, I like to watch documentaries and movies, to read books, and to go for a walk in my neighborhood.
Robert
Academic Coaching Tutor • +40 Subjects
After transferring from a community college, I graduated from Cornell University in 2020 and received a B.A. in philosophy with Distinction in All Subjects, 4.05 GPA. After, I became a tutor, with English reading and writing and philosophy as some of my subjects. I believe that the sharing and communication of knowledge is an important aspect of human life. I enjoy working with a variety of learning approaches and am glad to assist students and learners attain their potential. My personal areas of interest are the humanities, mathematics, and the sciences, and in particular, English, Latin, and philosophy. I believe that learning is a lifelong activity and part of human excellence. I wish you success in your own learning journey, and it is my joy to see you flourish in genuine understanding and knowledge.
