Award-Winning Tutors serving Boston, MA

...the power of learning for the sake of learning, rather than for external factors like good grades or others' approval. I believe that when youth and adults alike view school or learning as something to suffer through for a distant goal in the future (a "no pain no gain" mindset), their willpower eventually wears thin in times of stress and hardship. Teaching people to like to learn and succeed in a way that works for...

I am a first year student at Dartmouth College, interested in majoring in Economics.

...Bachelor of Arts in English with a Minor in Music. I hold a Masters of Arts in English from the University of Connecticut, where I am currently working on my PhD in American Literature. I tutor a mix of test preparation, English, Literature, and Writing. In helping students with reading and writing skills, I enjoy using multiple different approaches to develop a well-rounded understanding of the techniques, while making the sessions fun. I'm a strong...

...studying Statistics and Economics, with possible minors in information science and computer science. I have been working with students for several years now and have provided academic support to my peers throughout my time as a high school and now college student. Through my religious school, I taught students of all ages, ranging from Pre-K through 8th Grade. In high school, I helped prepare students for AP, SAT, ACT, and SAT subject tests as part...

...classes to middle school students. In college, I worked with Varsity Tutors to tutor middle school and high school level standardized test prep. Likewise, at Northwestern, I was a TA for a biology lab sequence where I helped teach biology to younger college students. Working in these different experiences showed me how rewarding it is to help students understand material and become more successful in their educational paths. Having been both homeschooled and a student...

...particular passion for teaching reading and writing. I've also enjoyed teaching ESL and sharing my enthusiasm for learning Spanish. These experiences have included working with children from kindergarten through 12th grade. I am an alumna of the Harvard Graduate School of Education and the University of Pennsylvania, and a fluent Spanish speaker. In addition to working in 20+ American schools and programs, I have lived and worked in Chile and Peru, where I taught English...

...super passionate about math, physics, and computer science and love teaching other people! I think that while math, CS, and physics can certainly be abstract, the practical aspects of such topics can make learning both interesting and fulfilling. I have had a pretty extensive background in teaching/coaching. I have spent 1 year tutoring and teaching, 3 years as both a soccer and orienteering coach, and 1 semester as a Lab Assistant at MIT. I think the...

...tests because I get the opportunity to see students learn about the ways that they learn and take tests. Furthermore, it's very rewarding to see students get excited about their tangible score gains that come as a result of hard work. I aim to adapt my approaches to each student, but this always includes assessing strengths and weakness, teaching and reteaching content, creating a strong sense of test format and timing familiarity, and sharing tips,...

Hello! I'm eager to help you in your education. I'm a recent graduate of Harvard College looking to apply to law school. My senior thesis was written on John Dewey's ideas of education, which I deeply believe has incredible power to transform individuals and society.

...and sciences, helping students out at all skill levels (elementary through college). Excelling in these studies myself, I guide my students on study skills, tricks and trades to the subject, and how to best tackle difficult problems. I cater to the learning styles of all students and try my best to find the easiest way for us to tackle a challenging subject so that once on your own, you feel confident in your abilities to...

A lot of high school is spent prepping for college and with proper instruction anyone can get into the college of their...

I have long enjoyed enjoyed working with others to help them achieve personal goals. Some of the most fulfilling tutoring I have done recently have been tutoring immigrants for the US Citizenship Test, helping formerly incarcerated individuals attain their GEDs, and tutoring children in Honduras on conversational English to obtain high-paying jobs in the tourism industry. I'm thrilled to work with anybody on any subjects of interest, reach out with any questions!

...now living in the great city of Boston. I just came back from a year living in France, where I taught English to over 200 elementary school students in person and by videoconferencing. My other previous teaching experiences include being a French drill instructor and Linguistics T.A. at Dartmouth, a teaching assistant at the Kimball Union Academy Summer Language Institute, and a Dartmouth Partners in Community Service Fellow at the Chinatown Community Children's Center in...

I am currently an undergraduate student at Wesleyan University and am majoring in molecular biology and biochemistry. At Wesleyan, I've been a member of the Science Outreach program, where we teach scientific concepts to students at local elementary schools. This experience has been extremely rewarding and has made me interested in helping other students as well.

...the library at Binghamton University. I particularly love tutoring because not only do I get to help a student succeed but I improve on my teaching skills at the same time. Wanting to be a professor is doing more than research to me; I want to inspire students and show them the wonder and excitement I see in Physics and Math. Aside from doing Physics and teaching, I really love exercising. Being mentally and physically...

As a master's student and former medical student, I know how challenging academics can be. I also know how having a helping hand, a guidance through the confusion, can help one gain confidence in themselves to excel. From tutoring children to post-graduates, I have seen that all students (no matter their age, level of education, strengths, weaknesses, etc.) who are willing to learn can succeed. ... In a typical first session, the student and I usually...

...I will be attending Boston University's College of Communication in the fall to pursue my Master of Science in Journalism. Outside of tutoring and school, I enjoy listening to NPR (#careergoals), reading (anything and everything!), and traveling. My most recent big trip was to the Caribbean, but I also travel within the Northeast a fair amount; I just got back from a week in New Hampshire and Boston. Before the Caribbean, I spent three weeks...

Hello! I'm a freshman at Harvard University planning to concentrate in applied mathematics. I'm passionate about individualized education, and I focus on teaching students to think critically and creatively. I have a wide range of experience tutoring both traditional and competition math, and I'm particularly interested in the potential that online and mobile platforms like Varsity Tutors have for reaching broader audiences.

...and it seems like it's taking forever to learn/do that problem set/get your work done. It feels super frustrating. Other times, a concept just doesn't make sense. Other people might say that it does, and that makes you feel a little bad. I have been in that situation so many times and I know exactly how that feels. But I have always decided to keep going, no matter how hard the obstacles. I have worked...
