My goal is not only exam success, but also lasting confidence in Mathematics. I focus on clarity, solid foundations, and effective study habits that support students well beyond a single course or assessment. Many of my students have improved their grades significantly and gone on to succeed in competitive university programs.

I am a current PhD candidate in experimental geophysics at MIT. I have successfully tutored dozens of students for the GRE; these students report not only higher scores but deeper understanding of the material, even in areas they have struggled with for years. Many of my students have not taken relevant quantitative courses for years and have forgotten much of their fundamental math skills, but after working with me for a short time, they are able to achieve great GRE quantitative scores. Students also enjoy my approach to the verbal section, where we work on decoding the questions and narrowing answer choices based on the type of question. I focus on a strong understanding of the concepts being tested as well as on test-taking skills. After working together, all of my students feel more comfortable entering the exam and sure of their own abilities, and nearly all of my students end up meeting or exceeding their original score goals.

I have helped fellow college students on a wide variety assignments ranging from analytic papers on race in the media, to papers on scientific theories, to scholarship essays. In high school I was a Link Crew tutor for three years, making myself available for tutoring sessions after school for whatever subject students required help in.But enough about my qualifications. If you are looking for a tutor, you probably want someone who will not only help you meet and exceed your own goals, but also someone you can connect and get along well with. So here are some fun facts about me:-Before college I traveled around Europe with two friends and we visited every art gallery we could find-I am in the process of writing a full-length screenplay for my thesis in writing-I love tea, cats, crime novels, and gluten free pizza-I am a fan of Harry Potter, Doctor Who, and Breaking Bad-I have met Brendon Urie from Panic! at the Disco

Hi! I recently graduated from MIT with a degree in Chemistry and a minor in Biology. During my time at MIT, I tutored for organic chemistry and biochemistry because I loved helping my students see the beauty in these subjects. I also taught chemistry and biology in Halifax, North Carolina and Ancona, Italy. After graduation I travelled to Ghana to help teach a Startup Incubator program. I'm now a medical student in North Carolina!

I feel very strongly about enabling students to "learn how to learn." My teaching approach prioritizes critical thinking and understanding the building blocks of the material that you are learning, rather than rote memorization of information and equations. I had an extraordinary and rather unique math and science education in high school, which paved the way for a successful college experience (MIT math major) and career as a data scientist. I would love to pass this experience on to others!

I'm a junior at MIT pursuing a B.S. in Computational Neuroscience, and a B.S. in Philosophy. Starting in high school, I have served in a multitude of teaching/tutoring roles, including: tutoring all levels of high school math (from pre-algebra to AP Calculus BC); teaching a six-week class on psychology to underserved high school students in the Boston area; teaching chemistry, biology, and computer science at a STEM summer camp to 6th-9th graders; working as a TA in a college-level philosophy seminar; and even teaching choreo for a hip-hop dance workshop series! And, though my teaching experience centers largely around STEM subjects, I also have a deep love for history, English, and philosophy, and am excited to work with students in these areas as well. In general, I have an intense passion for learning anything and everything, and my top goal when working with any student is to ignite their own curiosity, and awaken their inner desire to understand themselves and the world.

I received my bachelor's in science with a physics and writing major. I have taught physics and math for 5 years. I am comfortable teaching physics, from high school physics to university level quantum mechanics, and high school math.

I've earned my bachelors of science in physics and humanities focused in theatre arts from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I've tutored middle schoolers and adults returning to college to finish their bachelor's degrees, and I've taught various hybrid technology-art camps and seminars for elementary through high schoolers. Predominantly, I tutor Algebra I-IV and Essay Writing/Editing, but also tutor Calc I, Trigonometry, Pre-Calc, and Pre-Algebra. I love to help people succeed, and that's what I focus on when tutoring. Together we will find the right pace for your sessions and I will help you better understand the material.Outside of tutoring, I am an actor/composer/lyricist who loves to write new showtunes. Musical theatre is something I have grown to love, and the love, surprisingly, stems from my own devotion to cartoons and video games. But, make no mistake, while I can often be found watching an episode of Justice League, playing Smash, or giving the City of Angels score another listen, I will always put you first.

I enjoy helping students understand both math and computer science by breaking complex concepts into clear, logical steps. I have experience tutoring math and introductory computer science topics and adapt my teaching style to each student, focusing on patience, encouragement, and real understanding rather than memorization. My goal is to make challenging subjects feel approachable and to help students build confidence and problem-solving skills they can carry into future classes.

I graduated from MIT in 2014 with a degree in chemical engineering. Over the past three years, I have worked as an engineer for Chevron in the Gulf of Mexico and for Phillips 66 at the Borger Refinery. I have been extremely blessed in my college and professional career, but I believe that a significant amount of my fortune stems from my passion and dedication in the classroom. I look forward to tutoring students in math and science related subjects so that similar opportunities will be open to them in the future. In my spare time, I enjoying relaxing with my wife, Landry, and our basset hound, Gunner.

I am an undergraduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and I have tutored students since my early high school years. I've had experience instructing and guiding a variety of students, from young middle schoolers taking their first steps into the world of computer programming to my own peers struggling with their calculus exams. Over the past year alone, I've worked with over 30 students, spending several hours each day to help them stay up to speed on their schoolwork. I specialize in many areas of math as well as computer science, biology and physics. When tutoring students, I draw on my own experience with learning the material to identify and address the obstacles they face. I believe that promoting a deeper level of understanding of the subject, as opposed to merely teaching to the test or problem set, will enable students to excel in the long-term.

I graduated from MIT in June of 2016 with a Bachelors degree in Chemical-Biological Engineering and a minor in Public Policy. I tutor in a wide variety of areas, but specialize in high school and college math and science, as well as test prep. I've been teaching in some capacity since I was in high school; first tutoring peers in math and science through National Honor Society, then providing more informal one-on-one help to fellow students at MIT. I've also worked extensively teaching swim lessons for the past five years, particularly to beginners. Both in and out of the pool, I believe that a good lesson is one where the student is doing the thinking. I teach interactively, asking questions, listening to students. explanations, and probing students to produce the correct answer for themselves. I want to model thinking and questioning strategies that will allow a student to be successful without a tutor; I endeavor always to work myself out of a job. When I'm not tutoring or teaching swim lessons, I enjoy reading (especially mystery and crime novels), distance running, and long walks with my chocolate lab Snickers.

Hi, I'm Nick! I'm a current undergraduate at MIT and a chemistry major. I specialize in chemistry and all sorts of math, but I also am proficient in French and Physics. I can also help with ACT preparation.

I graduated from the University of Arizona with dual Bachelor of Science degrees in Mathematics and Physics. I continued my education at MIT and earned a Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering. I have worked with students from a wide range of backgrounds and subjects, ranging from tutoring kindergartners in their first exposure to language arts and middle school students in algebra and reading, to assisting with lower-division collegiate math courses. I particularly enjoy helping students gain confidence with math. I believe that all students are capable of understanding math, and I seek to help them explore mathematical concepts in a way that makes the subject less abstract and more intuitive. Outside of the classroom, my passion is competitive Ballroom and Latin dance.

As an MIT student, I possess the knowledge that is needed to tutor not only my peers, but anyone who needs assistance in the subjects I offer. Speaking of which, the subjects that I find most comfortable teaching are: SAT Math, Algebra I or II, Trigonometry, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus I, II, or III, Differential Equations, Chemistry, Physics. When I say that I feel most comfortable teaching these subjects, all that means is that I have the most experience teaching these topics. That is not to say that I cannot and don't want to tutor in other subjects.My experience in teaching and tutoring stems from even before I was a math peer tutor in high school. As an older brother to an ambitious teenager, I've found myself helping my brother out in his math homework and answering his questions with detailed and thorough explanations. I have experience tutoring people that I have just met, along with people I have known for many years. As I moved on to my college career at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, I have found that collaborating is one of the main keys to succeeding. Chemical Engineering, my major, is one of the most difficult fields to pursue, and it requires the abilities of communication, patience, and perseverance. As a result, I am a team player with vast patience.In terms of my teaching methods: I am a scientist first. I have done many competitions such as the New York Science and Engineering Fair and so I am used to presenting my research projects in a concise and understandable way. I am skilled in breaking down difficult topics into bite sized pieces of digestible information. This way I am showing, not telling. I believe it is super important for the student to actually understand the information instead of just being able to regurgitate ideas and answers for a test. I hope to help you out!
