I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

I am a teacher, certified to teach high school social studies. I have a Bachelor's degree in Biology from Smith College, an MPhil (a doctorate without a dissertation) in History from George Washington University and an MAT from Simmons College. I have taught and tutored at both the collegiate and high school levels, in History, Biology, Calculus and Spanish. I am happy to help with any subjects in which you or your child may need or want assistance. I am most comfortable with History, particularly World History (ancient through modern) and US History (I admit that political history between 1820 and 1850 is not my favorite subject, but I know it!). I speak four languages beyond English, in varying degrees (French, German, Arabic, Hebrew). My graduate training in History focused on Middle Eastern History and Cold War History (especially the nuclear arms race); in college, I minored in History, primarily the History of Europe between the Dark Ages and the Renaissance. I believe that a high school teacher's job (and a tutor's) is not just to cover the curriculum. I also provide my students with the skills they will need to succeed in college and the workplace, including study skills, note-taking skills, research skills, writing skills,and critical thinking skills, especially about current events. I agree with Jefferson on the necessity of well-informed voters to a functioning democracy. I also believe that learning should be fun, whenever possible, while admitting that, particularly in high school, students must often "get through" subjects they do not find fun. I feel I should acknowledge that I consider that once my student, always my student. This means that I answer panicked emails from students who have forgotten how to do footnotes once they get to college, among other things. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy reading, watching rugby (I used to play), swimming, dancing (all kinds), photography, reading, manga/anime and needlecrafts. Model United Nations is my all-time favorite club. In addition, I love spending time with my nephew and nieces (preschool to early elementary age). I love to laugh and I am often unintentionally funny; fortunately, I don't mind laughing at myself on occasion.

To be successful citizens and human beings, students must acquire more than knowledge; they must acquire good habits. It is habits such as curiosity, critical thinking, open-mindedness, respect, and cooperation that I hope to pass on to my students.My love-affair with language began at the University of Delaware where I graduated with a B.A. in English. Inspired to spread my passion for literature, I attended Simmons College, where I earned a Master's degree in Education. Upon receiving my teaching certification, I worked as an English teacher at Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School in Cambridge, MA. Most of my classroom experience focused on under-performing students, and my greatest joy as a teacher was in finding ways for reading and writing to feel relevant to students who had previously written off literacy as a non-essential.Along with my work in education, I have worked for the past five years on a variety of projects to create a sustainable and humane food system. In my own neighborhood of Jamaica Plain, I co-founded Egleston Community Orchard, an inclusive green space that grows food and community. I've also worked with several local non-profit organic farms as a grower and educator.I consider myself lucky to be an educator, in particular one who specializes in English language arts. Language is perhaps the only subject that has the potential to truly further every student on their path to self and world discovery. Through teaching reading and writing, we are, in reality, giving students a myriad of tools: the ability to communicate, to perceive the world through a multitude of perspectives, and the power to understand history and one's place within it.

Hello! I'm a passionate and dedicated educator with six years of experience teaching in public schools in Boston and six years of tutoring students of all ages, from elementary through adult learners. Throughout my career, I've taught a wide range of subjects including math, test preparation, history, and special education. I specialize in supporting students with learning differences, believing that every student has unique strengths worth discovering and nurturing. I also love working with students who crave extra challenge helping them go deeper, think bigger, and push beyond grade-level expectations. My approach is simple: learning should be fun, exciting, and tailored to you. I work hard to create a supportive environment where every student feels seen and can truly thrive. Outside of tutoring, I stay balanced through yoga, time in nature, and a love of reading. I'd love the opportunity to support your educational journey and help you find your own path to success!

I am a graduate student studying nursing at Simmons College. I am also a certified Emergency Medical Technician!

I work full time at an urban charter school in Boston. I have a masters in Special Education and work in all different subjects. I have a background in history and writing, but currently co-teach math and science classes, giving me skills and confidence across all subjects. I am a passionate and optimistic young adult who really enjoys working with teenagers. I feel as though I am always learning and open to new ways of thinking.I believe in each student's ability to succeed through hard work, practice, and perseverance. I hope for students to learn strategies and skills which can be applied across all subjects, not just used for a given class or unit.

I am a graduate of a BSN and MPH program, actively practicing nurse with varied experience within the healthcare field. I received both my Bachelor and Masters degree in Boston, MA. I have previous experience tutoring various subjects including biology, nutrition, Spanish, graphic design and web graphics. I am able to connect with all my students because I understand what it is like to be in their shoes and am very patient helping to achieve positive outcomes from every session.

I am a graduate of Simmons College in Boston, where I received my degree in Biology as well as my Master's degree in Secondary Education. Biology has always been fascinating and a passion for me, but during my graduate studies I worked as a student teacher for a full year at a public high school, where I realized that my true passion is sharing my knowledge and sparking an interest in science for my students!I have taught biology at the high school level for three years, and have tutored students at various levels and branches of biology as well. I also teach biology for a program in Boston called Classroom At The Workplace where I work with many English language learners. My experiences in and out of the classroom and with various types of learners has expanded my ability to make biology content accessible AND fun!In my spare time, I enjoy reading, watching documentaries, yoga, meditation, cooking, painting, walking/hiking, and enjoying the city of Boston.

I am a senior at Simmons College. I will be graduating in May 2015 and receiving my Bachelor of Arts and Science in Biostatistics and Biochemistry. I look forward to getting a Masters Degree in Biostatistics. From 7th grade to 9th grade, I have been working with elementary students on subjects such as Math, English, and Writing, including electives. In high school, I have tutored high school students in math subjects such as Algebra, Calculus, Physics, Latin, and Chinese. In College, I have tutored college students in Calculus I & II, Multivariable Calculus, Statistics, Biochemistry, Algebra, Physics, Microbiology, Chinese, and more. Although I tutor a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about Calculus, Statistics, and Chinese. Based on my learning and tutoring experience, I believe it is critical to learn and understand all of the concepts of the subject, practice and master the knowledge, and then apply it to real world situations. Organization in the teaching and learning of the subject plays an important role. I hope that students result in mastering and appreciating the subject. On my own time, I enjoy working out at the gym, playing the Chinese hammered dulcimer and a wide variety of Chinese drum sets, travelling to new places, and trying new food.

I'm a 2018 graduate of Ouachita Baptist University with two degrees in English and mass communication. Currently, I'm pursuing a master's in library science (focusing on youth services) from Simmons University. I spent two years as a reporter for a local newspaper covering education, where I realized just how much I enjoy working with students. Due to my educational background and personal interests, I'm most passionate about tutoring literature and writing. Words are our most powerful tool! I want to help young people develop their voices and realize that reading doesn't have to be a chore.
