I am a Latinx first-generation PhD candidate in Molecular and Translational Medicine at Boston University School of Medicine. My current research is focused on links between diet and the lung microbiome. In addition to working in a lab, I deal with a lot of "big data" on a daily basis, so my current role involves a lot of molecular biology and biostatistics/bioinformatics.I have experience with a variety of college and high school STEM and non-STEM subjects such as Psychology, Algebra, Calculus, Statistics, Genetics and Genomics, Microbiology, Biology, and GRE prep. I am also capable of tutoring English, Math, and Science for elementary and middle school children.Some of my hobbies include crafts, creating healthful and microbiome-consious recipes on my foodie instagram, reading Stephen King novels, and (embarrassingly) updating and drawing in my planner.When I am not in the lab, I am often speaking at panels and forums on the importance of gender and racial equity, especially in higher education. I am actively involved in a number of initiatives and organizations in the Boston area to help address these issues, and strive to be an role model for other first-gen students, individuals from underserved communities, Latinx folks, and young ladies.

I'm an English major and I have a JD from Suffolk Law. Coming out of college as an English major, I chose to pursue law, with the eventual goal of becoming a law professor down the line. I've always loved helping and teaching people, as I believe it's the most important thing we can do for one another as human beings - if we have the knowledge, I think we should share it with as many people as we can. I used to teach Cello part-time to fellow students when I was in high school, and that was great fun for everyone.I've traveled extensively and have had some great experiences with education in other countries, like the UK, Sweden, and even Cuba. I take pride in helping my students understand what they are trying to learn, as well as in helping them to achieve what they've set out to do. It's not always an easy task, but with the right help, you can do it!As an English major in college, a law student with multiple research assistant credentials, and an Editor on the Journal of High Technology Law in my final year of law school, I have extensive grammar, literature, proofreading, and general English skills.Contact me if you are interested, want to find out if we'd be a good fit, or if you want to learn more about my experiences, schedule, or anything else. Looking forward to helping out!
I am a PhD level organic chemist. I have worked in the pharmaceutical industry, raised two sons and now teach chemistry. I love working with students to help them achieve their goals.
Believe it or not I didn't start understanding math until the 6th grade. Something clicked for me and from then on math became fun and my favorite subject. My first job was working as a tutor/mentor at the age of 16. I tutored middle school kids in all subjects but especially math. The best part of tutoring is seeing it "click for the student". I thoroughly take pleasure in teaching my favorite subject. My teaching style is serious but fun. I have a lot of patience so if there is one part of problem that a student is stuck on I can work with the student until they understand it. Math can be confusing until you learn how to speak the language of math and that is what I am here for. To help students learn the language of MATH!
I am a graduate of The University of Massachusetts at Boston. In this institution, I received my Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts, focusing on Elementary Education and a minor in psychology, my Master's Degree in Applied Linguistics, and a Doctorate in Leadership in Urban School Administration with a Special Education policy. Since graduation, I havetaught newcomer students and students with special education needs at the school level. Additionally, I have tutored students after school in communities with low socioeconomic status and professionals who recently moved to the United States and need to learn and improve their English to work.I have also traveled extensively, tutoring children of immigrants in Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Ecuador, sponsored by the Baptist Convention.I am most passionate about English, teaching reading strategies to those who do not know how to read or struggle with reading (special education students, students with interrupted education, and dyslexia, to mention a few).In my experience, instilling an early love of reading at the elementary school level gives a child a head start on expanding their vocabulary and building independence and self-confidence. In addition, it helps children learn to make sense of the world around them and people, building social-emotional skills and, of course, imagination. My passion is teaching and training. My first passion lies in teaching students who have not learned to read in their native language; however, they may struggle to put together the sound/symbol correspondence concept, new words, and new sounds since it is difficult for students to distinguish phonetic components in new vocabulary words. My second passion is teaching special education students to develop a reading ability to increase college and career readiness. My third passion is to train teachers and support school leaders, which I have done for the last ten years at the school and state levels.I have been a firm advocate of education for the last 27 years, believing it to be essential for improved well-being, and I always impart this passion to my students. In addition, I like to train parents in my free time by teaching them different strategies to help students in their education. Furthermore, I love to travel with my family because I love to spend time with them while visiting new places.
I believe that every student has the capacity to learn and I am passionate about using tutoring to make this goal a reality.
A little bit of information about me.I find computer programming/development to be a very enjoyable occupation. There is something about putting the code together to create an application or a website that is very satisfying. Getting to see the results of the work that was done is very exciting.I obtained my Bachelors of Science degree in IT in May 2014 with courses in C programming, HTML, XML, CSS, Javascript, computer security, web design, graphic design, Adobe In Design and Adobe Illustrator. In May of 2017 I obtained my Master of Science degree in IT with courses in programming, computer security, operating systems, cloud computing and security in the cloud which was my area of specialization. Areas that I gained experience in through work were the Java programming language and Python, along with Microsoft Teams, Word and Excel, and Adobe Photo shop.One of the aspects of teaching, or tutoring a programming language that I like is passing on my enjoyment of writing programs and the excitement of learning how to code. When I have taught classes I try to encourage the students to explore what they can do with the language they are learning How to use it to accomplish their task or objective while also gaining an understanding of how it works. One of the best ways to learn coding of course is to use it to create something.When teaching in a group setting I try to encourage students to work together to solve problems. If one student is having some difficulties at a certain point or the code doesn't seem to be working as it should, I like to encourage everyone to contribute to solving the problem. This teaches them to work together, the same as they would if they were working on a project for a business, and to solve problems that can be encountered in coding. It's always great when a student is able to solve a problem in a program.Writing programs can take work and dedication, but it can also be fun. I try to create an atmosphere where the student feels good about what they can accomplish while having fun learning how to code.
I've been a practicing archaeologist for 10 years with as much interest in fieldwork as laboratory methods, and I'm currently focussing on raising my toddler after a recent year long teaching appointment at MIT in ceramic analysis. Archaeology is often misunderstood strictly as the study of the human past, but it's more interesting than that: it's the study of human changes over space and time.Every teaching or idea is only as good as it's applications. Archaeology has applications in and draws on all sorts of fields to answer questions including history, linguistics, geography, manufacturing and construction methods, geology, industrial science, photography, chemistry and so on. My subject palette reflects a close engagement with their applications in archaeological work and my personal reserach.I also spent 15 years in Europe as a dual citizen, moving through Germany, Switzerland and the UK. As a young boy, this threw me into the deep end of a foreign languages and so I was always adapting to a new challenge to be a less obvious outsider. It was hard going no doubt, but I found that confidence with language was not a matter of learning endless tables and words and phrases, but becoming truly familiar with the tools and the gears that make everything work.This independence is a lasting contribution of studying languages, and this is my tutoring focus. I will not have your student recite tables, we will investigate them and make them tools. Your student will not just learn vocabulary and grammar but will gain an appreciation for how closely German and English are related. And your student will not just pronounce words but pronounce them well (if they're making odd sounds it's because I told them to practice them: GOOD!).I understand from personal experience how difficult education and standards and pressure can be. I am committed to recognizing how a student learns best and I value learning from them in return. Learning is a life-long two-way street.
Hi! I have taught high school math in Boston for three years. Most of my experience has been with Algebra 1 and Geometry, but I'm comfortable with all math content up through Calculus. Some of my most enjoyable and rewarding experiences working with students have been helping them with assignments individually during a free period or after school. I'm excited to leverage my experience in the classroom in work with even more students on a one-on-one basis.I believe that any students can make huge academic gains in any subject area - no matter how much they may struggle - with the right amount of work ethic and support. Exams should not be a barrier to anyone's personal ambitions. I look forward to sharing what I know to help students come closer to their full potential.
I have a PhD (Yale) in history and an MBA (UCLA) in finance. I have excellent writing and research skills, and have made extensive use of German and French -- spoken and for research. My work in finance has required skills with mathematics. I have taught university classes in finance and international economics. Another area of much interest, related to my background in history and public policy, is US constitutional law. I published a book on monetary history (*Gold, France, and the Great Depression*) , and a more recent book of essays on topics in economics and diplomatic history (http://books.ksplibrary.org/978-625-7501-75-0/ ) .... I have worked extensively on government-related projects, often in the greater Middle East. Effective tutoring should do more than impart techniques -- it should certainly do that -- it should help a student come away with some interest in and enthusiasm for the topic. (Soft evidence for the last is that my daughter earned a PhD in neuro-science, and credits me with inspiring her.)
Hi! My name is Owasif and I have over 6 years of experience teaching K-5th grade. I'm a dedicated tutor who will put your child's success at the top of my list. I'll ensure every child gets the tutoring they need to succeed in class and beyond.
I'm a CPA Audit Manager with over 5 years of experience working with a diverse client base. I know the difficulties of studying and am here to support you!
I like to make learning seem like an activity, instead of a "class." I want each class to be better than the previous class. Enjoy the process on the way to the goal. Whether English or Chinese, my goal is the same; to help you achieve your goals.
I believe every student has his or her own learning needs. I would like to know more about my students, to provide a personalized learning experience and to help them achieve their dreams. My students will not be afraid of making mistakes. My students will be more confident about their abilities. My students will have a open and critical mind to what they are learning.
I am an educator with 20 years of experience. I am currently seeking a Masters of Social Work at Smith College in order to compliment my existing teaching experience. I have worked with math, science, humanities, and English. My preparation to go to graduate school enabled me to become very familiar with test prep strategies and I am also a competent guide for preparing to take both college admissions and graduate admissions exams.I enjoy working with people from a wide variety of educational backgrounds and ages. From the young people who are learning to make education a lifelong part of their development to adults returning school, I feel confident helping people at different stages achieve their academic goals. I love learning and believe it should be a enjoyable experience. I look forward to working with you and being able to share this joy with you!
I am a certified teacher and am qualified to teach English language arts, social studies, and BCIT (business, computers, and information technology.) I have extensive experience with hesitant learners and I really enjoy helping students find new ways to learn. I have earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in history, as well as a masters in education. My experiences outside the classroom including being a tutor, trivia quiz master, and a forensics coach. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about language because the ability to read and write influences every subject -- including science and math! My students see me as a member of their team and I strongly believe in starting the educational process from where the student is, rather than where they "should be." In my spare time, I love learning more about esoteric subjects, having random conversations with strangers, and really appreciating my surroundings.
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 recently graduated with a BS in Physics from Florida International University. Math and Physics are my passion and I am confident that anybody who is willing to dedicate time to it can master them successfully. That's where I come in!
I was born and raised in Guatemala until the age of fifteen; therefore, Spanish is my native language. I became a Spanish tutor while attending High School in New York at the age of sixteen and throughout College. I now have over 35 years of tutoring experience. I have tutored all levels of Spanish (both children and adults). I love teaching, and I mostly love seeing the progress and success of my students. I am passionate about teaching; I have made it my life's goal to teach our children as well as possible.
Hello,I have a BS in Business from Northeastern University and an MBA from University of Massachusetts-Boston. I teach Marketing at Bentley University, Clark University, and UMass-Boston.I tutor subjects across the entire spectrum: sciences and math, Spanish, and also writing, English and social studies.In my tutoring I like to utilize a practical learning style where we use real-life examples. Sometimes I include other forms of media in my teaching which makes it a lot more fun (and relevant).Outside of academic I am a volunteer with various rare disease organizations in the Boston healthcare community. I am deeply committed to helping people with rare diseases.
Hi! My name is Elena and I'm so excited to meet you soon!I've been a Kindergarten teacher for 4 years, I taught English in college at the University of Michigan, and I taught English in Chile, South America, for 1 year. Teaching English in Chile is really where I was inspired to become a full-time teacher, and use that passion to help others. I love meeting new people and learning about their walks of life and culture. I also love to chat, so I have many things ready for us to talk about and learn from one another. I'm a grammar nerd so I'm able to help with your English casually or more formally. I also speak Hebrew and Spanish, so I understand the challenges and joys of learning a new language. There's no better way to learn, than to start!
Late in the winter of 2003, I left Baylor University for Spain, where I would spend the next semester studying. When I arrived in Madrid, I was unfamiliar with the city and had to rush to catch the bus that would take me to my university, several hours to the north. Confused, tired and not at all proficient in Spanish, I chose the incorrect station. A kind cab driver, noticing my confusion, insisted he accompany me to find my bus. When it was obvious that I had chosen the wrong station, he took me to the correct station and again accompanied me inside to ensure I found my bus. Over the next four months, I repeatedly encountered such kindness and support from the university and community. These advantages helped improve my fluency rapidly and fostered an interest in linguistics and language, enriching my stay with cultural experiences I would not have otherwise had.I moved on from undergraduate study to a Master of Arts in Publishing and Writing at Emerson College, shifting my focus to design and visual interpretation. As I progressed along my professional track in educational publishing, my mind often returned to my time abroad; I chafed at my inability to regularly use the skills and interests that I acquired in undergraduate study. I also felt disconnected from my community and my frequently returned to my education experiences—particularly those in Spain—which were essential in my personal growth. With that in mind, I made the decision to leave the publishing industry and pursue a Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics at the University of Massachusetts, Boston.Ultimately, my degrees will prepare me to work with English Language Learners but I have wide-ranging personal interests and the interdisciplinary degree I received at Baylor University has given me a great foundation for tutoring in a number of subjects. I'm excited about working on students of all ages and levels on reading, writing, literature, and Spanish. I also am interested in helping students develop the organizational habits and study skills essential to academic success. Finally, I love working with students on test prep; giving students the skills they need to demystify exams such as the ACT, SAT or TOEFL is really a rewarding experience.When I'm not tutoring or working toward my degree at UMB, I enjoy spending time with my family—my husband and I have one small, silly dog (eight years) and one small, daughter (six months). I'm working on several knitting projects to keep all three of them warm in the coming winter and riding my bicycle as much as I can while it's still warm!
I am a retired community college professor. I have undergraduate degrees in sociology and Earth Sciences. I also have a Master's degree in Applied Linguistics. All my degrees are from the University of Massachusetts/Boston. I have worked extensively with adult second language learners at the community college level. As a speaker of both French and Arabic, I am particularly efficacious with native speakers of those languages. Teaching is my passion. I believe that education is one of the most realistic ways for people to achieve their potential. My philosophy is rather simple: education is freedom. I take great pleasure in helping students learn and achieve their goals. I see life as a school and everyday, I try to learn something knew. I am interested in mindfulness and love soccer(football.)-Go Man U
I am passionate about helping students learn about economics, math, history and anything else I can help with. I look forward to working with you!
I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in English Literature with a focus on 20th and 21st century British fiction. I also hold a B.A. and M.A. in English. While pursuing my own passion for education, I have found a secondary passion in helping students find their voice in their writing. I love working one-on-one with students to help them develop their own interests and skills while achieving their personal education goals. I have had success tutoring students on a variety of reading and writing assignments, particularly for their English classes and in preparation for standardized tests. In addition to my work in literature, I enjoy traveling to new places, watching action and adventure movies, and cooking meals for family and friends.
I believe that reading challenges must be addressed as soon as they appear--very early in the primary grades. Assessment is vital initially to determine what a child knows, partially knows and needs to learn. After assessment, I develop a learning plan based on results of that initial assessment. Why should I spend time teaching the alphabet to a first grader when he/she identifies all the letters? There are four vital areas to address with most early learners: phonemic awareness, sight words, phonics and comprehension. I teach writing to deepen comprehension; children write about what they have read. In my lessons, I include fluent reading with easy leveled readers since that gives the student a sense of competency and efficacy. Struggling readers find learning to read hard, so keeping tasks at an easy level to start is key. As confidence increases, competence grows and more challenging tasks are introduced. Parent as partner is an integral part of my student's program.
I am a results-driven attorney with experience teaching law school classes and multiple bachelor level courses.

Further, I am a licensed attorney in Arizona and Texas.
I am passionate about empowering others to not only reach academic progress, but also gain a greater self-confidence through encouraging, patient tutoring. I am a middle school school STEM teacher seeking additional students to help in my out-of-work hours. Finally, I am a Cornell University alum and am confident in my ability to teach students in a range of fields - anything from English, ESL, art, writing, social studies to math and computers. Looking forward to hearing from you!Lena
I passionately teach to make an exceptional difference in my students' lives. My 15 years of teaching experience with a diverse population of all ages and levels in English and Spanish enables me to make success attainable for each student. My tutoring sessions are tailored to fit each individual's needs and goals. I enjoy planning and implementing content-based, result-oriented, engaging instruction by blending creative arts and disciplines that inspire each student to learn, grow and achieve.
I teach Kindergarten in the public school setting. I have been teaching for 25 years. I taught Intergraded Preschool for 8 years. I am a licensed Early Childhood Education Teacher from PreK - 2nd Grade. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Political Science from University of Massachusetts at Boston. I received my Masters Degree in early Childhood Education also from University of Massachusetts at Boston.

As a passionate educator with a Master's degree in Applied Linguistics from the University of Massachusetts Boston, I bring 20 years of tutoring and classroom experience to my students. I specialize in English grammar and pronunciation, ESL/ELL, and high school writing and reading, and I am dedicated to fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to express themselves. My teaching philosophy centers around personalized instruction, enthusiasm and engagement, and adapting my methods to meet each student's unique needs and learning styles. I find immense joy in helping students achieve their academic goals, whether it's mastering essay writing, fluent conversation, or passing a standardized test. In my spare time, I enjoy reading classic literature and engaging in discussions about philosophy, which enriches my approach to teaching.
Howdy! I'm EJ and I am a sociologist. I have a masters degree in sociology with a focus area in social movements and theory. This basically means that I love reading and writing a ton. For those seeking assistance with sociological issues, have no fear, I have experience working with students at the collegiate level. For students looking for non-sociology assistance, we're going to have just as much fun!
Teaching is not a one size fits all endeavor. The teacher must learn from the student their interests, skills and learning preferences. It is then up to the teacher to provide a learning environment unique to that student which will not only show the student how they best acquire new information but also show them how to take that new information and apply it to the one size fits all testing environments found in many schools and colleges. One cannot teach another unless she is willing to learn from her students.
I strive to not only help students with their learning but also improve my teaching daily. My style is to not focus on just getting the material across, but trying to cater the material to the particular student and informing them that reading and writing are an important part of life! Hopefully, I am able to show my passion for reading and writing through this platform and express how fun learning can be!
I am a graduate of Jacksonville University. I received my Master of Science in Nursing with a concentration in Clinical Nursing Education. I enjoy teaching because it allows me the opportunity to create engaging and meaningful learning experiences that assist student learners with discovering their "aha moments." It is a rewarding experience to help students make connections to deepen their understanding of the learning process and their acquisition of knowledge. My ultimate goal as a tutor is to guide students toward the development of active learning strategies that will prepare them to be intentional learners and problem-solvers.
I am a native Mandarin speaker educated in the United States. I graduated from College of Management, University of Massachusetts Boston. In my more than 10 years of teaching, I have shared my knowledge of Chinese in many different capacities. I've taught corporate executives practical Chinese at the business level, led classes at a Chinese language institute, and worked with students one on one. Thanks to my management and business experience in corporate America and my many years of strict training to be a reciter when I was at school in Beijing, I am better able to help my students communicate and succeed in using Chinese for their needs.. In my own experience, learning to speak another language is not just about mimicking the sentence flow and pronunciation, but also understanding the culture behind the language. I want my students to enjoy the learning process wherever they are and take pride in the fact that they're not just learning new words, but also learning the wisdom, philosophies, and history behind them. When you communicate with someone using their language, it's a form of love. It means you went the extra mile to meet that person where they are; it means that you care about them and want to understand them on a deeper level. This is what I wish to teach each of my students. Everyone is welcome in my class to discover the beauty of Chinese culture and learn how to share that gift with others.
The importance of a solid mathematics education goes beyond just improved test scores. I use the word, "mathematics," frequently but, never until recently had I thought about the actual meaning of the word.The word, "mathematics," has at least two interesting literal definitions in two ancient languages. In Greek, the root of mathematics means, "learning." In Hebrew, it's root is "thinking." They tell us that mathematics gives us the critical ability to learn and think logically in any field of endeavor. It is more important than knowledge, which is so readily available on the Internet.I believe that all students have the capacity to understand mathematics under the right conditions. I reach my students by helping them develop a deeper understanding of important concepts so that the process has context and connections can be made between what has been learned with new ideas and skills recently introduced.I am a graduate of Boston University and the University of Massachusetts. I have training as a learning specialist and often work with students struggling with language based learning differences, ADHD, or executive function challenges. My work experience includes teaching math and English at both private schools as well as public schools. In addition, I have experience teaching within international schools in Europe and the Middle East. I have more than twenty years experience as a classroom based math teacher for grades 6-12. In addition, I have worked as an academic tutor and mentor for middle and high school students. Over the last few years, I have extended my practice and work with student athletes at Duke University as both a mentor and learning specialist.I have experience as a learning specialist with a focus on all middle school and high school math courses. In addition, I have worked as a college advisor and prepared students for both the SAT and ACT exams. While I do love teaching all things related to math, I also am passionate about teaching writing and high school English. In addition, I have a deep background tutoring US History and Civics at both the middle school and high school level.As a learning specialist, I believe it is essential to develop a strong partnership between myself and the student. The best way that I can succeed with my clients is to understand who they are as a person as well as who they are as a student. It is important that our relationship is based upon trust and a willingness to work together for common goals. I am always working towards the goal of helping my students become independent learners. I do not want my clients to use me as a crutch. I want them to see me as someone who will help them to walk on their own again.My ability to work with students across disciplines has been an added benefit for those families who choose to work with me. I care about what I do because I believe that all students can learn--they just need to be the right person using the right teaching strategy at the right moment for the magic to happen.In addition to my work as an educator, I am also a father and have been married for fifteen years. We love to travel and explore different parts of the world. My favorite place to spend time is in East Africa. When I am not traveling, I love to SCUBA dive. When I am not factoring equations, I can often be found in a corner reading a great mystery or political thriller. Otherwise, you can find me coaching my son's team at the nearest basketball courts or I can be found teaching lacrosse.I look forward to working with you soon!
I received my undergraduate degree in English at the University of Massachusetts Boston, where I graduated summa cum laude and won the James William Fay Essay Prize for best undergraduate writing for the 2009-2010 school year. I also minored in dance, with a focus on ballet, which I have been teaching for over 10 years. I went on to receive a master's degree in English at Boston College where I studied postcolonial literature and theory, with a specific focus on Anglophone literatures hailing from England, Ireland, and India. Since graduating, I have taught writing and literature at the undergraduate-level and helped students revise their writing for a wide array of classes as a university tutor. In my free time I like to take dance classes (having been trained in classical ballet myself) and go to concerts. I also like to read, watch movies, and catch the Patriots on Sundays.

Before I was a tutor, I was a teacher, and before I was a teacher, I was a mentor. I have spent most of my adulthood working with students in some way, shape, or form. I've worked with a lot of students from various backgrounds and across ages. I've also tutored in almost every subject, but math is my specialty. In 2016, I received my Master's degree in Education from the University of Massachusetts at Boston. I was a licensed teacher when I lived in Massachusetts, and now I am teaching Algebra 1 in New Jersey.
