Award-Winning AP Physics 2 Tutors serving Newton, MA

...would love to use my experience and expertise to help students master new concepts and skills. I would characterize my tutoring style as positive and persistent, but above all, I like to tailor my approach to best suit the needs and learning style of each individual student. My specialties are test prep (AP/SAT/ACT/SSAT) and science subjects, including biology, chemistry, and physics. I am also experienced with tutoring US and world history, literature and composition, and...

...hours a week tutoring in subjects including AP Physics 1, AP Calculus AB/BC, Middle School Mathematics, Science, and Spanish, Regents Geometry, Regents Algebra, Regents Trigonometry, and US History. I understand how the young adolescent mind operates, and am able to employ several different teaching styles (e.g. visual, conceptual, verbal) due to my knowledge of the subject at hand. I also have much experience with adolescents through my tutoring experience, coaching ice hockey, and working at...

My name is Zoe Fullerton and I am current student at Harvard Medical School. I attended Vassar College as an undergraduate where I studied Science, Technology and Society. I am a patient teacher and eager to work with students of all ages. ... I try to cater each lesson to address that student's learning style. I like to cater to a person's strengths in an attempt to meet them halfway in the learning experience.... Get to...

...and learning". I love my work as a manufacturing consultant and enjoy spending my weekends teaching online small-group classes and tutoring students. When tutoring, I specialize in Math, Physics, English Grammar and Syntax, and Microsoft Excel since those are all skills and concepts I tutored in college and continue to use daily. I particularly like helping students draw connections that help them link concepts they're learning to the real world. I wish you all the...

...students, spending several hours each day to help them stay up to speed on their schoolwork. I specialize in many areas of math as well as computer science, biology and physics. When tutoring students, I draw on my own experience with learning the material to identify and address the obstacles they face. I believe that promoting a deeper level of understanding of the subject, as opposed to merely teaching to the test or problem set,...

...and that you get enough practice to ensure that no test question will ever leave you puzzled. Everyone that I have ever tutored has walked out more passionate about the subject, even if it was one they initially hated. They have always had better grades than when they started, and I have been lucky enough to help many of my tutees gain entrance into their dream schools, like UCLA. I must admit that I do...

...die trying. I have been tutoring for the last one and a half years and I absolutely love it. I am a national-circuit debater who places a strong value on communication. I enjoy watching my students exceed their own expectations; it creates an undeniable feeling of simple elation for both my student and myself. I am dedicated to making sure that my students stay, as Steve Jobs once quoted, hungry and foolish.... Make sure that I...

...I will be attending Northeastern University to continue my education with a Ph.D. in Physics. I love helping students succeed, and I bring a strong Math and Science background to help students struggling with these difficult subjects. I believe that the secret to succeeding in these subjects is not in memorizing solutions and equations, but by developing problem solving skills so students will know how to approach and set up problems in any STEM setting.

...physics, and a math minor. I have been tutoring for more than 6 years. For 2.5 years, I taught math to Cornell Engineering undergraduates, and I looked forward to it every week! On Varsity Tutors, I tutor up to college level mathematics and physics, test prep (including AP courses, and SAT reading/writing). Explaining difficult math and science concepts in plain English is my forte. I love teaching and will be glad to help anyone become...

...in the college applications process, including the drafting/editing of personal statements and school-specific essays. I believe that, with persistence and grit, students can develop an extremely solid foundation of learning that can aid them in tests and everyday life. I definitely stress practice problems and problem solving in my approach, however I am open and flexible to feedback and adjustment. As a tutor, I hope to aid students in attaining their full academic potential! Besides...

...volunteer in local schools, and as a frequent contributor to the student science magazine were some of my most rewarding experiences in college. Outside of academia, I love the outdoors, especially camping and back backing. After graduating from Swarthmore I worked as a caretaker on the Appalachian Trail for four months, and am now settling down to tutor full-time until hiking season comes back into full swing. Next fall I hope to start my PhD...

...teaches the material, but also helps students to become more effective learners. I often provide real-world examples to help students get excited about concepts. Also, I use practice problems so that my students can see their own improvement and gain confidence. These strategies help students to become better lifelong learners, and their benefits extend beyond the subjects I am teaching. In addition to teaching and learning, I love to exercise, play the acoustic guitar, read,...

I am a current medical student (MD/PhD) at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. I graduated in 2020 from UC San Diego with a degree in bioengineering: biotechnology. I have been a tutor for the past 5 years and my motto that I try to impart on students is to learn by doing. ... That learning should be fun and interesting, not something to be dreaded.... Assess their current skill level in the subject. Then have...

...have performed research in an optics lab, having published a couple papers during that time. The coursework in physics is an extensive overview of many mathematical topics, including algebra, geometry, and calculus (multi-variable or vector). A strong intuition of maths and the language used to describe physical phenomena is something I have gained in my studies, and lends itself well to teaching these topics to others. In addition, I also teach the classical guitar privately...

I am currently a second year Biology undergraduate student at Northeastern University with a diverse foundation in science. For me, the study of medicine piques my curiosity, specifically cardiology and neurology- both of which I hope to pursue in the near future.... I believe in the power of practice. I think the most effective way of teaching is a brief overview with a big emphasis on practicing problems.... I would get to know the student’s strengths...

I recently graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology with my Bachelor's and Master's degree in mechanical engineering Summa Cum Laude with the Outstanding Undergraduate Student award. I enjoy helping people with understanding physics, math, and other STEM concepts.

I recently graduated from MIT with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I have worked for companies such as Apple and Oculus VR as well as various MIT labs. In my free time, I love to exercise and read.

I received my Master of Science in data analytics. I have helped students with questions about data science and statistics related projects for a year now. I enjoy problem solving and help with any data science and statistics related question using my skill set.

As someone who has endured multiple standardized tests and successfully completed high school and college, I understand the importance of tutors.

Learning isn't always easy; in fact it's often uncomfortable. This means it's possible to find meaning even in classes we hate or the ones we think we are bad at. For this reason, I hope to work with learners who might be uncertain about their interests and futures.
