...intimately familiar with the challenges that students face when learning new material. I taught math at a community center during high school and I have recent experience helping fellow students with their homework and SAT prep. I try to approach tutoring the same way I would help a friend, by helping them build an intuitive understanding of the material rather than memorizing a set of rules. I love helping students achieve their goals, and I...

...and came to Boston for college. I studied Biomedical Engineering at both Boston University during undergrad and Tufts University for my masters. After much thought, I deviated from a medical school track to pursue a career in the medical device industry.

I really enjoy working with students of...

...concepts, is a difficult subject to learn, and can be difficult to teach. Every student has a different learning style that works for them. I pride myself on being able to connect with students and to understand what they already know, in order to take their learning to the next level. Sometimes a student knows the material, but just isn't confident about how they found an answer. Other times, the student may benefit from a...

In a typical first session, the student and I usually...

I have been tutoring for the past two years both at tutoring firm...

...a subject I am so passionate about, but because it gives me an opportunity to understand the concept at a deeper level. Aside from my experience tutoring kids in both simple and advanced math concepts, I also have the grades and test scores to indicate my knowledge of the material. I received an 800 both on the SAT II Math Level 2 Exam and the math portion of the SAT. I also received a 5...

...a student acquire the necessary skills needed to succeed, but to enjoy doing so. This is also why I tutor children of all ages in standardized test preparation. I know tests are a formidable challenge to many people, but I believe that they can be fun if a student feels prepared and confident. In my mind, a test is an opportunity to display hard work and knowledge, not something to be feared. My tutoring style...

...of all ages. I first started tutoring juniors and seniors as a freshman in high school when Marblehead High School allowed me into the upperclassmen's Western Philosophy class; since then, I have tutored all major subjects and tests, as well as several specialties, from the elementary to the collegiate levels. I take a collaborative approach, working with the student and parent(s) to decide what methods of improvement will best work. I work hard to establish...

Throughout my academic...

...themselves with their own abilities is the best thing a tutor can ask for. For mathematics, I've taken up to Calculus BC in high school, and Multivariable Calculus at UCR. I understand the concepts, but I can also explain them using applicable examples. Really, math is like a language; you need to know the basics before you get speaking fluently. Math can be difficult, but it can be even more fun once you get it....
