Mr. Chen was my first Mandarin Chinese teacher. He arrived to teach in the 1990s at St. Paul's School, a New England boarding school. As a non-native speaker of Chinese, I sat in Mr. Chen's class behind a desk and studied Chinese. At that time, I was confused and considered dropping the course. But ...

Kevin

Algebra Tutor • +12 Subjects

I am a tutor specializing in philosophy with competence in other basic logic-related subjects, like algebra and computer science. I am a graduate of Brandeis University, where I received both my Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in philosophy. During my time at Brandeis, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to tutor my peers as a Brandeis Undergraduate Group Study tutor. As a peer tutor, I guided fellow students through prepositional and predicate logic problem sets, worked through their arguments for ethics class, and helped edit their philosophy papers. Logic is my favorite to tutor due to its closeness to my personal interest in computer programming. In both cases there are answers to problems that are very much the only correct answer, but there may be many different ways of approaching said answer. This is something I particularly like to show my students: that even in the most stringent of cases, there is room for creativity and self-expression in the process of problem-solving.In my spare time, I enjoy toying around with programming languages like Ruby and Java, playing sports (ultimate frisbee, football, rowing, skiing, weightlifting), playing video games, and reading (mostly nonfiction).

Ana Cristina

Anatomy Tutor • +39 Subjects

I recently graduated Medical School after seven loooooong years (No pre-med... straight off to medschool- This is the Mexican system)I struggled a lot my first years of medical school. One... learning the medical language, Oh dear lord... It was soooo difficult learning how to change the term from "tummy ache" to "Gastrointestinal discomfort or Acute abdominal pain). This went on until I learned the etymology of the word, (believe me, It does help to know some easy and fun words from their greek, latin, french root) - If you want to ACE anatomy, this is important!Secondly, PHYSIOLOGY! i tried to ignore it, tried my best to get around and just do my own thing. Big mistake. After a while I started to integrate my reading into this magical and beautiful understanding on how or body works. It is a blissfully organized system.Learning pharmacology. Still struggle with that.So... I created stories, characters, songs, mnemotecnics, drawings, mind maps, flashcards.... you name it. I've done it.What works for me is not memorizing but really understanding the concept, apply it in my everyday life.Things started to make sense. It was an enlightment moment when I saw my first patient with Diabetes, I knew everything about it.Genetics, Pathophysiology, Presentation, Workup, Treatment plan and discussing with the patient what it means to have Diabetes. (It was sooo fun! )I would love to help you out during your training, exam week (we call it HELL-WEEK) and provide the tools necessary to help you accomplish your biggest dream (or just pass the exam...)After all of that reading, writing, not sleeping, drinking seven eleven coffee's in the middle of the night, I treat myself with things I am passionate about. I loooove to exercise (yoga, weight lifting, walking, biking, hiking) read good books (not that medical books are not good, but a little bit of Paulo Cohelo wont hurt me) singing, dancing playing the guitar. Laughing, eating, hanging out. BALANCE (or Homeostasis )I am currently doing research at Massachusetts General Hospital on Mind and Body medicine and its influence on a molecular, genetic, organ level) and I am sooo passionate about that. Life has to be interesting, changing things up... not everything is studying (I found it very difficult to understand this)I invite you to take part of this journey of self exploring and learning through diverse techniques that will enhance your comprehension while having fun doing so.

Yu Wen

ACT English Tutor • +18 Subjects

My name is Yu Wen and I am a strong believer that anyone can learn anything! I attended the University of Pennsylvania as an undergraduate and recently finished my Master's in Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. As a tutor, I create a space where my learners can feel empowered and safe to take on the sometimes difficult, yet often fulfilling and fun, challenge of learning new things. I practice a growth mindset philosophy, and I often say that it is okay to be wrong, it just means you haven't learned the material... yet. With patience and effective pedagogy, I strive to give my students confidence that they can learn anything they set their mind to. I take my students' desires, motivations, goals, and interests seriously. Fun fact: I am an international student from Malaysia!

Thomas

ACT Math Tutor • +14 Subjects

I am a recent Tufts University grad with a degree in chemical physics and environmental studies. I am a dual citizen of the United States and Sweden and apparently sleep talk in both languages. My biggest passion is the preservation of the environment, and I hope to start a career as an environmental scientist. I am currently certified to both prepare students for the ACT exam and tutor mathematics (algebra and pre-calculus), physics, chemistry, and general science. In my free time I enjoy reading, skiing, hiking, cooking, longboarding, sailing, and watching over the top action movies. I do not want to give you the right answers; I want teach you how to find the right answers yourself. That means I will be patient and help you understand the fundamentals of the subject matter. I understand that preparing for a test like the ACT might seem hard, but I want to show you that you have what it takes to conquer the exam.

Megan

College English Tutor • +10 Subjects

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.

Darin

Business Tutor • +20 Subjects

I am a recent Chemistry Ph.D. graduate with a 7 month break before starting in my next role in management consulting. As the most enjoyable experiences of my career to date have been in teaching and mentoring, I am spending the intervening period tutoring!I received my Ph.D. in Chemistry from MIT, where I was a Presidential Fellow and a Dept. of Defense Graduate Fellow, and my B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Tufts University, Summa Cum Laude with Highest Thesis Honors. Over the course of my scientific research career I have produced 14 research publications, given 12 talks at international conferences, including the largest annual Physics, Chemistry, Materials, and Chemical Engineering conferences in the world, and have received 8 awards, totaling over $300k, specifically in recognition of my research accomplishments.As both an undergraduate and graduate student I have also taught, tutored, and mentored students. At MIT, I won a Graduate Teaching Award for thrice-weekly recitations of Intro Chemistry and Physical Chemistry at MIT; students consistently outperformed their peers in 5 other sections (higher average exam grades on all 4 exams and 9/12 pop quizzes, by an average margin of 5 grade points). As a graduate student, I have mentored over a dozen undergraduate students individually in their research, academics, career planning, and time/workflow management.Alongside my scientific career I have pursued an interest in business, leading to my pending employment as a Management Consultant. I took a full year of Management Science coursework at MIT's Sloan School of Management, including Microeconomics, Marketing, and Competitive Strategy. I applied that education to consulting engagement both freelance and through MIT. I have worked with a $16b Chinese state-owned enterprise on Sales force organization design, a $27b glass manufacturer on market entry into OLED lighting market, and a healthcare software startup on business model development. In those engagements I worked alongside graduate students from MIT and other international schools, and on several occasions presented findings to the senior management of the client firm.In addition to being a Native English speaker, I have studied Japanese for 7 years, including 3 years of college-level coursework and a 6 month stint working in Sales for a $17b semiconductor manufacturer in Japan.No matter what your background and challenges are as a student, I look forward to working together with you!

Alex

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +78 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Bowdoin College with a BA in Biology, English, and Theater. I have been tutoring pretty steadily in one form or another since middle school and am quite comfortable tackling diverse subjects in both the arts and sciences. As a native Spanish speaker, reader, and writer I have years of experience tutoring students at all proficiency levels in the language. My bilingual background has also given me the opportunity to work with native Spanish speakers in other academic subjects. I bring a compassionate and collaborative approach to teaching. I strongly believe that a tutor must treat his or her student as a teammate and not as someone who merely needs instruction. The goal of any tutoring session should be to bring out and foster a student's own capacity to understand and excel in a given field, which begins with respect. I am currently pursuing a graduate study in biology- where my interests primarily lie in evolution and bioanthropology.
