Certified Tutors From Massachusetts Institute of Technology

...combination of my research experience along with my teaching experience means that I use the things I learned in Math, Chemistry and Biology on a daily basis. My approach to tutoring and teaching is to focus on the concepts that are crucial for the students to understand the material. By concentrating on the important concepts as...

...to understand the rationale behind the question. Yes, the student may get a specific question right, but what about other problems? Will the student have the skill set to solve other problems. To aid the student in learning, I draw in examples from other disciplines or my own experience when I learned the topic and...

My tutoring experience ranges from teaching a mid-20s Bloomberg employee how to program in Python to helping fellow MIT computer science undergraduates understand the more thorny minutiae of digital system design. I spend most of my free time programming, reading about transportation and politics, and playing softball most summer weekends.

...a graduate student and trained medical doctors when I graduated. I have worked in private medical practice educating patients and other doctors. I can teach all levels of math, biology, and earth science. I am also familiar with New York State education regents requirements. I have relatives in the teaching profession and help them with...

...with high school students, 10 year olds, and folks old enough to be my parents, all with great success. If you find math and physics difficult, and are looking for a tutor who can demystify them for you: I would love to help you out! If you love math and physics, and have exhausted other...

Specializing in teaching Math and Science at all grade levels, I help in understanding the "hard" subjects.

...students in SAT exam preparation for the past three years. Knowledge is an equalizer, and I firmly believe in paying my knowledge forward. I tutor a wide range of subjects, but my main passions are physics and math. I was fortunate enough to have a wonderful physics professor who turned physics into a way of...

...an interest in the subject yields better grades. If you enjoy the subject you are working on, you will be more likely to learn the material. My philosophy is to guide the student to figuring out the correct answer, and hopefully in the process the student will understand the concepts behind the problem.

...solving skills. My key areas of expertise are any type of math, physics I, and finance/accounting. I am very good at explaining difficult concepts and breaking down problems into manageable steps. My undergraduate eduction is in engineering and I have an MBA in finance. I am an adjunct professor of finance and have experience tutoring...

I have taught intellectual property law for the past two years and SAT preparation for the past 10 years. I am a great tutor because not only are my fundamental verbal and quantitative skills strong, but I am able to communicate my reasoning and problem solving skills quickly and clearly.... My teaching philosophy is to help empower students to stay calm and use what information they know to arrive at the correct answers on tests through...

...Since high school, tutoring has always been one of my favorite activities. I tutored with the NHS program at my school, and assisted with various test-prep programs at my high school. I'm passionate about Math and Chemistry, but what really lights me up about tutoring is the face of someone who finally "gets it". I...

...and daughters and other young people in math has been very rewarding and that my enthusiasm for math and science can be infectious. My approach to instruction is to determine quickly what issues prevent the student from understanding the material and to work in a supportive and guided manner to help the student achieve success....

...Outside of the classroom, I've held internships and co-ops with ChemSolv, Inc., GlaxoSmithKline, and Johnson & Johnson, as well as presented research at the American Chemical Society National Expo. Beginning in the fall of 2015 I will pursue a PhD in Chemical Engineering at MIT. My hobbies include every and all sports, both playing and...

...and Science classes are normally taught by teaching professionals who are well qualified to lecture in their areas of expertise. However, if the material is not explained in a way that is understandable to the student, then it may be necessary to recruit the help of a tutor. I like to use different examples and...

...calculus, physics, and chemistry. It was gratifying to be able to help many of my classmates improve their grades and understanding of curriculum, and I picked up valuable experience working with students of many different capabilities and learning styles. I also spent a summer teaching young children as a bilingual literacy tutor at a nonprofit...

...most experience teaching these topics. That is not to say that I cannot and don't want to tutor in other subjects. My experience in teaching and tutoring stems from even before I was a math peer tutor in high school. As an older brother to an ambitious teenager, I've found myself helping my brother out...

...when tutoring. Together we will find the right pace for your sessions and I will help you better understand the material. Outside of tutoring, I am an actor/composer/lyricist who loves to write new showtunes.

...learn best and have the most fun when they aren't afraid to make mistakes. Because of that, I work hard to build a relationship with my students based on the ideas that learning should be fun, that it's ok not to know the answer, and to never to afraid to ask questions. I think because...

...them build confidence in the STEM subjects. My approach is to help students understand the key underlying concepts -- whether it is programming, mathematics or physics. I like to help students reason through a problem. I rarely just give them the answer. I also like to make the subjects relevant to real world problems and...

...Environmental Engineering. I'm available to tutor biology, chemistry, physics, math from Algebra up through AP Calculus, SAT test prep, and French. I've been tutoring students in science and math for 7 years. I also spent 8 months working and studying in France, and have tutored high school and adult students in French. When I'm not...
