Using one's strengths is the key to overcoming any weakness.

Hello Students and Parents, I would like to offer my unique skills as a doctoral candidate in clinical psychology who specializes in working with children with developmental disabilities (e.g., autism, down syndrome), learning challenges (e.g., ADD, ADHD, anxiety), and medical diagnoses (e.g., diagnoses affecting sleep, attention, processing speed, school attendance). I have worked with children in their homes, in hospitals, in community clinics, and in schools. I have also worked with many teens and would be happy to tutor those who are older and looking for some extra help. My unique contribution is that, in addition to sharing knowledge and study skills, I am trained to help children regulate difficult emotions like frustration or hopelessness or embarrassment, overcome fears and anxieties, find and maintain motivation, improve self-esteem, and use creative problem solving to maxi ... read more

Organic Chemistry, Neuroscience, and More!

I have worked within a wide expanse of teaching environments, from small group settings and classroom teaching (including lecture-based learning), down to individualized, one-on-one sessions. I have an arsenal of old exams, pre-made practice exams, and enough problemsets to keep you occupied until retirement, and am determined to help each student achieve the best possible suite of study skills, conceptual mastery, and critical thinking that will allow him/her to succeed.
I graduated from Binghamton University (SUNY) in 2008 with a double degree in Linguistics (B.A.) and Neuroscience (B.S.). After working as a behavioral neuroscience research technician for nearly two years, I pursued a position in 2010 at Cornell University within their Behavioral and Evolutionary Neuroscience program. I am currently a doctoral student in Neuroscience at Tufts University Sackler School of Graduate ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a graduate of one of the premier Universities in the United States I have had an opportunity to learn from the very best higher education has to offer. Over the past several years, I have reinforced my editorial skills as a college and graduate school admissions coach, helping students prepare for standardized tests, write and edit essays for University applications and prepare for interviews. I have experience in teaching English and Sociology as a Teaching Apprentice at the University level, as well as several years of individual tutoring experience.
I love helping students achieve educational goals. I believe that every student has the capacity to learn and the right to be a successful student. Not everyone processes things the same way, I like to use my students' individual learning styles to dictate how I teach. The goal of tutoring is to assist the individual and therefore ... read more

I am currently a graduate student in Medical Sciences at Boston University. I have taken many biology and chemistry courses during my studies, and I feel comfortable tutoring: molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, general/organic chemistry, and general biology. In addition, I have also taken the entire lower division math sequence for engineers, so I am able to teach elementary math up through calculus except for geometry. In addition, I am able to teach statistics and elementary physics as well. I have 1 year of experience tutoring high school students in an after school program in Oakland, CA.I have also tutored students from elementary up through the high school level.
I enjoy seeing the "A ha" moment that students get when a concept becomes clear to them. I am not a big fan of memorization and have encouraged students to not only understand the concepts, but to also li ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

When it comes to teaching writing, there are a number of different approaches and techniques, and while each will appeal to different people, all are valid. I believe the most important factors in teaching a student how to write well are practice and praise. I would show, by example in other’s work and especially the student’s own work, what has been done well, and encourage more of it. I’d also encourage the student to explore his or her writing voice and to get comfortable converting thoughts into written words. I am very patient, laid back, and organized, and I believe that everyone has the potential to become a strong, competent, and confident writer. I love teaching because it allows me to share my passion for writing with others.
In Spring 2009, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Duke University and was offered a merit scholarship to the MFA in Creative Writing Program at ... read more

I enjoy being a part of any child's learning experience. I understand the individuality of each child and strive to respond to them as such. This means I try to grasp each student's learning style and adjust my teaching approach accordingly. I strive to create a positive learning environment, focusing on the child's strengths as well as their weaknesses. I believe all individuals learn best when the experience is enjoyable, so when possible, I like to relate the subject matter to the student's interests. I do whatever I can to set each student up for success in all areas.
Education has always been a very important part of my life. Upon graduating high school, I went directly to college at Eastern Michigan University. I earned my BS in Psychology in four years, working as an assistant preschool teacher for one and a half years during that time. After graduating, I worked as a s ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Whether I am helping a student with prioritizing assignments, studying for tests, teaching study skills, or guiding him or her process of writing papers, I strive to promote metacognitive awareness throughout the tutoring experience. Students ultimately need to develop an awareness of how they learn best and what strategies work for them. It is my job to facilitate this process while yielding improved academic results through collaboration with students along the way.
Over the course of my years as a Learning Specialist in a university setting, and as Master Tutor Certified by The College Reading and Learning Association, I have developed and refined successful techniques with students who may struggle with the following: executive functioning issues, ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, Asberger’s Syndrome, English as a Second Language, and various non-verbal learning disabilities. MI also have ex ... read more

As a student who has achieved academic excellence at a tri-fecta of prestigious Boston schools, I am committed to promoting the value of education. In 2006, I earned a bachelor's degree in Communications and Hispanic Studies from Boston College, which enabled me to gain a thorough knowledge and understanding of language and communicative arts. I also developed excellent communication and writing skills through writing intensive seminars and public speaking courses, along with essays in many various areas of study. I am currently pursuing a law degree at Northeastern University School of Law and a master's in public health at Tufts University School of Medicine. Completing both degrees in 2009, I continue to develop a wide range of skills. I have tutored elementary and middle school students in reading, mathematics, science, English grammar, writing skills, and study skills.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in making subject matter relevant to your child's life and strive to transform dry or abstract theory into an area of enlivened academic interest. One's ability to learn is directly proportional to the interest that can be mustered for the subject and it is not subjects, but the presentation of subjects, that fluctuate in their level of stimulation. My goal is to take an active interest in my pupil's life and through that to frame the presentation of material to their interests. I have the competency and diligence to master material and to mold it into a context that will empower your child to his/her potential.
I am a firm believer in a well rounded education and that excellence in one subject complements excellence in another. Although I majored in Economics and minored in history, I took an abundance of science courses in order to satisfy prerequisites for dental sc ... read more

I have a passion for knowledge, and have tutored high school and college students in the area of History, reading, and writing composition. I love teaching, and watching the student progress and excel!
My teaching style is more along the lines of the Montessori system. Given the freedom and much direction from the tutor, the student will often "discover" the essence of the lesson. In discovering the essence of the lesson, the student will take ownership. In taking ownership, the student in turn will develop pride, self worth, and a thirst for more knowledge and more successes.

A Little Bit About Me...

I really love teaching and finding different ways of using analogies and similarities to explain difficult concepts. I have been very successful in teaching the sciences and mathematics courses in an understandable way. I believe that everyone is capable of learning the material, it simply needs to be presented in the correct way. Some students are more verbal learners, others are more visual learners. I use plenty of paper to demonstrate ideas and draw diagrams to help make the material more understandable.
As an MIT graduate, I was particularly driven to excel in science and mathematics courses so as to be able to apply these to engineering and technology problems. I subsequently obtained two doctorate degrees: one in medicine and the second in law. I am currently working on the development and patenting of medical devices to improve medical care for patients. ... read more

My passion is for empowering young adults; perhaps the mantra is "educate to elevate". I have been told I build trust quickly, especially with difficult-to-reach students. Once trust is established there is a burden to do whatever is best for that student. Deadlines go better with a patient hand; discipline goes better with a sense of humor; details are better appreciated with a larger motivational goal. Failure is an underrated educator (or at least learning to overcome failure). We each benefit from someone walking with us while we learn on the journey.
My education degree in journalism reflects my interest and expertise in a wide variety of subjects. Most importantly, I have the ability to communicate, written or orally, and to prioritize and organize. Also, having worked with troubled teens, I find I am at home with difficult learning situations and a wide variety of stu ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with kids of all ages very much. As my summer job, I teach children from ages 4 to 21 how to play tennis. This has helped make me the person I am today in many ways. I am very patient and easy going and I am considerate of others as well. I am confident in my abilities and I think I would be a great fit for you as a teacher, friend, or mentor.
As a member of the Wellesley community and past student at St. Sebastians school, I have learned to achieve at an extremely high level of education. My teachers have showed me how to succeed in school and strive for the best. I have been extremely interested in Music and the arts for many years now. I would enjoy working with children as for I work very well with them.
