I am a dedicated Master's student in Chemical Engineering at Northeastern University with a strong academic record, graduating magna cum laude from Northeastern with my Bachelor's in Chemical Engineering this past May. I have diverse and extensive laboratory experience across various fields, which allows me to explain abstract concepts using a variety of real-world examples, making learning more engaging and relatable for students! I have been a camp counselor for over 5 years, working with kids from ages 8-15, so I understand how to communicate with a student to make them feel heard, but also understood, which is such an important part of tutoring work. I love to teach and have a high level of interest in anything STEM-related, specifically in the fields of Chemistry and Math. In my free time, you can find me playing the violin, broadcasting on live radio for my college's sports teams, or skiing all winter!
I am a researcher, scientist, and writer living in Boston, Massachusetts. I graduated in May 2018 from Northeastern University, where I majored in biology. Over the course of my education, I have scored highly on the PSAT, SAT, AP exams in history, English language, English literature, biology, and statistics, SAT subject exams in history, English literature, and biology, and the MCAT; I am also EMT certified in the state of Massachusetts. As an undergrad, I tutored my peers in biostatistics and provided edits and feedback for written assignments. I am also an avid fiction writer who has written full-length novels and taken many creative and technical writing classes. I love finding different ways to organize information to maximize learning and absorption and helping others to improve their writing and reading comprehension. I understand how frustrating it can be to struggle with difficult topics, and I'm here to help. I look forward to working with you!
I graduated from Northeastern University with a Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in materials science and engineering. I primarily tutor subjects in math and science because I love helping students break through obstacles to understanding tough concepts. I believe that sometimes all it takes to tackle a difficult problem is a fresh perspective, which is how I like to approach my tutoring sessions. I love to hike, I'm an avid board game player, and I'm currently teaching myself to play guitar - it's going pretty well, actually!
I recently graduated from Bard College at Simon's Rock with a BA in Physics and Visual Studies. My research areas in Physics include quantum optics and geophysics, particularly about entanglement and the Earth's inner core, respectively. My focus in Visual Studies is lens arts and film studies with a strong lean towards formalism. The two disciplines may seem very unrelated to you, but it is the combination of the two that makes me a great student and teacher! A few fun facts about my college experience: I actually finished high school in 3 years and began college a year earlier than usual, and I studied abroad in Scotland (University of Glasgow) and the Czech Republic (Film Academy of Prague) during my junior year!My teaching experience include peer tutoring during my college years, working with both individual students and entire classes on college-level physics, math, and Spanish. Just after receiving my BA, I designed and taught my first full course on Climate Change at the 10th grade level. We covered all sorts of material, including the Physics and Chemistry of the atmosphere and ocean, all the way to a Model UN simulation to discuss global policies!I am moving onto a PhD program in Physics at Northeastern University, but I hope to continue to teaching throughout and after the program. I love helping students reach their potential. The pride and joy of watching my students come to an understanding with new concepts, develop a love for new disciplines, and find passion for learning -- it is the most beautiful thing I have experienced. And it's all thanks to you, the amazing, bright, and motivated students!
I am a graduate of Northeastern University, where I majored in Biochemistry and minored in Literature and Psychology. I grew up just outside of Worcester, MA, and I have tutored for several years. I started tutoring ninth-grade Biology when I was in tenth grade, continued with elementary school children in Reading, Math and Science, and most recently I tutored high school students in Boston in Chemistry, Pre-calculus and Algebra. I have always loved math and science. I tend to think of complex scientific concepts in words that I can actually understand, and many of my pupils tell me that I explain them better than their teachers, which is why I am so passionate about tutoring. I am currently applying to medical school, and a friend of mine asked me to help him prepare for the MCAT after he learned my score, and his practice scores have increased as a result. I am also a trained and certified EMT working in the greater Boston area. In my free time I train for my next marathon, play soccer and read.
I'm a recent PhD graduate in Bioengineering in the Boston area. My thesis involved nanoparticles and bacterial infections, but as a biomedical engineer I've had training in circuits, mechanics, some programming, chemistry and biology. Tutoring for me is a collaborative effort, following a problem-based learning with questions that will lead the student towards the answer they're looking for while providing a well-rounded understanding of why and how that answer works.
I truly love helping people, and I do so whenever I can. I am a very outgoing and friendly person, which translates well to working with students. I do my best to understand where the student is coming from and work from there. Currently, I am a student at Northeastern University, but I also work with people with disabilities in a marketing setting. I can tutor Math, Science and English, and I would love to help you anyway that I can!
I am a Chinese lady who has been living in US for almost seven years! I am an outgoing, respectful and kind person. I am a software engineer right now working in a company in downtown. My hobbies include reading, running and doing some shopping in my leisure time.I love tutoring and communicating with students. Sharing knowledge and experience with people is my biggest interest. I have relevant experience several years ago when I was in China. I taught a six year old girl Chinese, English, and Math. That girl's mom was very happy when she saw that her daughter can write Chinese diary and started speaking English. I was also recommended by my professor in college to tutor a middle school girl both math and English. And because of my tutoring, that girl's study performance in both math and English greatly improved.I am very patient while teaching and know how to make a student motivated to learn. Since each student has a different characteristic, I can use different way of teaching accordingly to help them learn effectively. I am a native Chinese speaker, and I have experience of teaching. I have ability to teach student effectively. I like to have students see that studying Chinese is fun and not a difficult task.
I attended high school near Gainesville, FL, and moved up to Boston for college in 2011. I received my BA in English from Northeastern University in May of 2014, and graduated summa cum laude with a GPA of 3.91. I am pursuing my MA in English at Northeastern University beginning fall of 2014, with an expected graduation date of May 2016. I've worked with students of all ages, grades, and levels, both informally during my high school years and more formally with 826 Boston. I tutor students in English and all related areas: language arts, essay writing, literature, and phonics, as well as test prep for the SAT Verbal, Critical Reading, and Writing, as well as the ACT English, Reading, and Writing. I have experience working with ESL students of all levels, and am working on my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) Certification this summer. I love tutoring students in reading and literature; learning how to analyze literary works reveals so much more depth and makes reading such a rewarding experience. I also really enjoy working with ESL students, and attempting to learn several foreign languages on my own has given me a strong sense of respect for anyone attempting to learn to speak English. I make sure my students learn how to do their work themselves, and believe in breaking down different study procedures and subject matter into small, bite-size pieces. Every student has the potential to be a successful reader and a successful writer, and the two skills really go hand-in-hand. When I'm not in classes or working, I love to travel, and I spend a lot of time doing poetry-related activities: I write my own, read the work of my fellow poets, contribute and edit with a friend's independent publishing company, and attend all the readings and open mics I can. I also play terrible acoustic guitar covers, have lots of movie nights, and bake a mean banana nut muffin.

During High School and College, I tutored my peers in a range of subjects including SAT prep, English, Math, Biology, and Chemistry. I am most passionate about Life Sciences. However, I'm a stickler for proper grammar which is very suitable when it comes to helping students with their SAT prep or English studies. I am a firm proponent of education, knowing that it is vital for an improved quality of life. I try to impart this philosophy to all of my students while still maintaining a fun, positive environment for them to master the subject areas they are developing. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, cooking and practicing yoga.
Master's-Level Biomedical Expert with 500+ Hours Experience How I Teach & My Approach: After 5 years and 500+ hours of tutoring, I've learned that every student is unique. That's why I don't believe in one-size-fits-all teaching. When we first meet, I'll spend time getting to know you how you learn best, what trips you up, and what your goals are. From there, I build our sessions around YOU. My background (Bachelor's in Biomedical Sciences, Master's in Clinical Research) means I've been in your shoes. I remember struggling with organic chemistry mechanisms and statistical analyses. Now I use those experiences to break down tough concepts in ways that actually make sense. Real talk: I've helped students boost their grades by an average of 35% because I focus on understanding, not memorization. Whether you need to ace an exam, understand a tough chapter, or just want someone who'll make science less scary, I'm here for it!
I'm a cultural historian and doctoral candidate who tutors AP U.S., European, and World History, as well as writing. My humanities-based approach emphasizes close reading, interpretation, and analytical thinking. I help students break down complex material, build strong arguments, and turn what they know into clear, confident answers for DBQs, essays, and exams.
Greetings, my name is Karthik! I studied at Northeastern University and earned a BS in math and physics, and I started tutoring formally in undergrad via a mix of online tutoring and university sponsored peer tutoring later taking on responsibilities as a student grader and TA. But well before I started formal tutoring, it was not uncommon for peers to remark that I explained things better than our teachers. While at first I was prone to lecturing due to my assumption that others found theory as elucidating as I did, my sessions are now dominated by working through problems provided by either the student or me. Also software visualization is a boon whenever my drawing skills don't pass muster. Ultimately, my purpose is to cultivate disciplined learning and excellence in STEM, whether that be for a class or purely out of curiosity/passion, so please do not hesitate to reach out if you think I can help you achieve your goals.
I'm a Behavioral Neuroscience student at Northeastern University with experience tutoring students in organic chemistry, biology, neuroscience, psychology, Spanish, chess, and academic writing. I focus on helping students truly understand concepts instead of memorizing them, especially in subjects that can initially feel overwhelming. My teaching style is patient, interactive, and tailored to each student's learning style. I enjoy helping students build confidence through active recall!
For an enthusiastic student, there is always another question to prompt a new level of understanding. That is the outlook that gives me enthusiasm as a mentor. I have enjoyed watching smiles catch on each time that enough guidance leads a student to new realizations, and have been fortunate enough to see this happen regularly as first a US Peace Corps educator in Lesotho and then a substitute teacher/aid in the SAU 24 school district of New Hampshire. I received my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Northeastern University and therefore focus my tutoring on math. I currently offer tutoring for all middle school levels of math up through pre-calculus. My favorite subject to tutor is pre-calculus, particularly when it combines trigonometry with algebra. When meeting with students, I like to begin with a discussion of their goals and then guide them through a series of practice problems that ultimately covers their challenging areas. As you might have guessed from my opening sentence, I like to respond to their questions with questions whenever appropriate. In my downtime, I like to sing, play guitar, and cook recipes new and old.
I am currently a sophomore at Northeastern University pursuing a BA in Computer Science. I enjoy tutoring because I love being able to help students learn more, I want to share some of the knowledge that I've acquired, and because I genuinely find the work very rewarding. I have been teaching and tutoring informally for many years now, sometimes through established positions, but more often out of goodwill.I am a member of the Northeastern Downbeats, a co-ed a cappella group on campus. In the past, I played on my high school's ultimate frisbee team and captained my high school's badminton team. In my free time, I enjoy playing piano, watching TV, or playing board games.
I am a second-year student at Northeastern University, studying Business Administration. Before that, I attended Hunter College High School in Manhattan, where I developed a passion for tutoring. During high school, I worked as a chess tutor for elementary school students and served as my brother's unofficial tutor for the SHSATs. I tutor a broad range of middle school subjects, but I am most passionate about chess and writing. For years, I was heavily involved in chess, and I love sharing my enthusiasm for the game with younger players.Writing is another favorite subject of mine, and I am excited to help students enhance their writing skills and express themselves effectively. My teaching philosophy centers on creating compelling and engaging lessons. I believe tutors occupy a unique positionnot quite peers, but not quite traditional teacherswhich allows them to get students excited and interested about the subjects they are teaching.
